it looks like now. i saw on site a backpack that was left behind and a pair of shoes. and it represents that the tragedy that this tornado has reaped. on this area of kentucky, we learned of a telephone that was recovered. a cell phone that recorded 27. miss messages. we've lost father's mother's brothers, sisters, sons, daughters and others, teens from department of homeland security and the federal emergency management agency or fema are now on the scene. but the likelihood of finding more survivors diminishes by the hour fridays, tornado destroyed everything. it touched in mayfield. this used to be the historic town center. now it is leveled that was once a doctors office back there churches now nothing but rubble. this trailer was

picked up in the sky and dropped here like a toy and people's personal belongings from their homes. their photographs of their family members, now litter the streets. david hargrove digs through what remains of his law. office volunteers are helping him recover client files. he didn't expect to also find this . i've had this desk for since my daughter's been born and you know, all the things they draw for you and i had it under a glass. and that's the i found most of them. there's still no power or running water, but the recovery work is in full swing. 10000 people call this town home. i can't even tell what's what right now cuz saw powered up. it's like a like a war zone that happened here. and all, it's unreal. well, words came,

describe what i, for your i know of my home town. the loss of life here is the greatest shock. knowing some of the ruin homes belong to the factory workers who will never return . parts are heavy. as the clean up continues. heidi jo, castro, al jazeera mayfield, kentucky with south africa's president. serial roemer poser has tested positive for co with 19 is office released a statement saying he felt unwell after estate memorial service for former president f. w to clerk. he's been treated from mild symptoms from a poser has been vaccinated against the corona virus. let's get more from from eda miller. she joins was live form johannesburg for me to 1st paris the president doing because he was back so natives. and he was all sort of quite a large gathering with other people were more to we know at this stage

or the presidency has said that he is experiencing mild symptoms and that he's being monitored by military doctors. and so far he's doing well. and of course, in isolation, this just, this comes off the back of a west african to our way. he visited countries like a gardener. and, and i suppose that is one of the concerns is the, at the movement. the president had just prior to this live, as you mentioned, also that memorial service for former president f, w to clack at the presidency, has also said that they've also used this opportunity to say, well, this is a reminder for everybody to get vaccinated because it will protect you at least to some degree against the verity of illness, but they're also making sure that those who are in close contact with the president in the last few days, either being isolated or being tested. but what they're saying so far is that he's experiencing mild symptoms. and for me, the key just tells

a bit more about general corporate situation in south africa. because of course, that the scientists in south africa really have a head starts when it comes to on the kron domino anymore. but you stream all the emphasis from the experts was give us a few weeks to find out more about this particular strain. so we can understand it better, we increasingly hearing from ex, but that yes it does appear to spread very rapidly. we've seen a 3 to 400 percent rise in numbers in the last 10 days or so. but they're also saying that so fathers say it's appears to be there appears to be miles symptoms from the people that they're treating there, about 5500 people in hospital. and if we look at the availability of high cupids, only 6 of tell you just under 8 percent of i see you beds have been taken up by

people with covert 19. whether or not they have the army con strain or not. in the last 24 hours they've been about 18000 new cases reported, but also particular to that day is the government saying that there seems to have been some sort of dr. glitch and there's a backlog and so they were additional $19000.00 cases reported. so into tyler t almost $40000.00 cases, they say half of those attributed to this backlog. but so the africa is looking at a 29 percent infection rate at this point. and know, at least almost now heading towards a 3rd of people testing are testing positive for a corona knight for over 19. and they are still determining whether or not this is attributed to that new variant. and whether the delta variant is still playing a role in terms of people becoming you case a lot from still to discover about this new strain. but for now, for me to millo lie from johannesburg for me to thank you. the u. k. government

says re, sits corona virus threat level officials of warning. the spread of the on the comm variant is pushing the you came back in so risky tarrot train alerts level 4. 12 immediately affects existing rules and regulations. but a move to level 5 would bring more restrictions and will be triggered. it's if the health system becomes overwhelmed by minister boris johnson has urged people in the u. k. to get a 3rd vaccine shots. no one should be in any doubt. there is a tidal wave of omicron coming and i'm afraid it is now clear that 2 doses of vaccine are simply not enough to give the level of protection we all need. but the good news is that our scientists are confident that with a 3rd dose a booster dose. we can all bring our level of protection back up.

a fortnight ago, i said we would offer every eligible adult a booster by the end of january to day. in light of this on the con emergency, i'm bringing that target forward. by a whole month, everyone eligible, aged 18 and over in england, will have a chance to get their booster before the new year. went out to barret spunk. hannah is from the university of exits, his medical school. he questions the u. k. government's approach to containing the virus. they saw a lot of confusion and concerns the way it was suddenly announced on a sunday, a pre recorded message. and i personally feel that prime minister johnson has once again got it wrong. let me explain why. prime minister johnson continuously continuously continuously keeps on talking about one thing only, which is boosters, boosters and boosters. if you were to take the advice from any scientist,

any scientist worth their salt will tell you that one way to keep the infection numbers down case numbers down is a multi layered approach. the multi layered approach with prime minister johnson just doesn't want to do is where your mask very properly, where a good quality mosque work from home council parties, stop gatherings in pubs and restaurants. have your boosters have your seasonal influenza vaccine do? so it is multi multi multiple approach that is needed on we crohn is may be a little bit vaccine, evasive. however, what the boost is do is produce a large amount of those antibodies, also a slightly more diverse range of antibodies. and therefore, we can say that that booster works against delta as well as against omicron because we have more of it and a slightly below broader range of the antibodies. the world health organization and

the world bank. se the coast of health care pushed more than half a 1000000000 people into extreme poverty at the height of the pandemic. the w. h o . once governments to speeds up efforts to make health care accessible to everyone . it's encouraging the introduction over universal health coverage is trillion. fate of queen sons is now open to all back city to domestic travellers. for the 1st time in nearly 5 months, crimson shot at borders in july to its neighboring states as a way to curb cases. 9 more than 80 percent of adults there have been for the vaccination and the state has recorded it. know you cases of coke with 9 teens. we haven't paid on a plane for a month. but just coming back and going to be fighting, walking on the plan. very good. it's like probably like

the joseph feeling favor. so to me and it's really i have signed a defense deal worth more than $700000000.00 for korea. will supply us trailer with artillery weapons supply vehicles and radars, the largest defend still between stillia and an asian nation and comes at a time of hyper tension between us trail. yeah. and china, the delivery of an important commitment of our government that we might, it's an important further chapter in the defense industry story for a strike as we continue to build as sovereign capability. and korea is an important partner in that journey. both in our security arrangements, but also in the building of our sovereign capability in defense manufacturing. in ukraine, around a 1000 people march through the capital to protest against mandatory vaccinations

panels and is now generating electricity for 3 palestinian institutions, including this hospital and romano. before switching to solar energy hospital manager, save a paid $1000000.00 a year in electricity bills for the past 2 years. that electricity has been free of charge for dr. henley, but when the panels are covering all of our needs over the tricity as a hospital, it's part of our social responsibility to use in the tricity that we're generating and, and reduce our dependency on israel and 90 percent of the electricity use in the occupied westbank is bought from israel. the rust comes from jordan and through renewable energy sources. local palestinian initiative aims to install more solar panels in the west bank to grease reliance on green energy from 6 percent to 70 percent. what is really restrictions are complicating this process. israel prevents palestinians from developing the majority of land in the west bank,

installing solar panels and school rooftop was one way around it. but access to lands is not the only issue, even when electricity is generated. it's not easy to transmitted from one location to another feller stand on the operates on low, low voltage and medium voltage grades. we don't have any transmission network that would enable us to do large scale projects. so we had to size this project, both in terms of availability of land and the capacity of the grid to carry and evacuated. the power produced here, tens of thousands of past indians live off the grid international organizations provided them with solar panels. now they are the only source of power. it's hardly enough to generate electricity for basic needs and only operates during sunlight. even though the electrical grid is meters away, better when communities here cannot benefit from it. it's part of the israeli electricity network and serve the in league and really supplements in the area. the

palestinian energy authority says investment and solar energy is relatively new and still way down by bureaucracy. there is a gap of coordination between these institutions that's been established in the law that slowing down the process and the create kind of bureaucratic procedures in a place where the sun shines more than 320 days a year. solar panels could solve the electricity problem, but it is the israeli occupation that's preventing the palestinian goals of energy, self reliance. deborah, him al jazeera, be occupied by bank, but less than a year before the world can't. there's increasing focus on the legacy the tournament will leave for cutter. organizers say, ceasing will be donated steve, developing nations and stadium saga, turned into community facilities as learned lessons from other countries that have struggled to find
