ah ah ah, the u. k. reports, it's 1st known death linked to all the crawling off to sounded the alarm. but how fast the curve at 19 variant is spreading? ah, although i may vary and that again, this is al 0 alive from doha. also coming up hill keeps pouring in from all over the country. and thank you everyone. now we feel you love. here in kentucky. an emotional covenant of kentucky says the thousands have been killed

. but some survivors have been found in the rubble left by more than 30 tornadoes. ah, driving home that frustration people in saddam returned to the streets denouncing the prime minister for signing a deal with the military. at a sweeps reunion queensland australia reopens its borders to domestic travellers super vaccinated against coven 19. ah! we begin in the u. k. where the prime minister has confirmed the world's fast known death from the electron variant of co. 19 forest johnson says that all the con accounts for 40 percent of all new infections in london is urging people to get that boost. a shot to prevent hospitals being overwhelmed. but high demand is already straining the country's health service. i think the idea that this is somehow a milder version of the virus. i think that's something we need to say on one side

and just recognize the sheer pace at which it accelerates through the population. so the best thing we can all do is get our boosters or it me up centers across the country were getting in the army to, to help with the logistics were expanding in every possible way. and what we need now is for the public to respond and to do that, do what is necessary get boost enough more from out here as paul brennan, who's outside a vaccination center in london. what we know from the health secret, santa javert, he's been doing the broadcast, ran this morning, but on the crone in this country is spreading in his words, like we've never seen it before. and the prediction is that by to morrow on the cross will be the majority of new corona virus cases at the moment is around 40 percent of new cases are on a chrome by tomorrow. they believe it will be 50 percent at least. so you can see

the concern there is in this country about the way that on the chrome is taking over from the previous delta variance. busy and becoming the dominant variance, there is still unclear evidence as to how fatal omicron is. but nevertheless, the infectiousness of it is what's really worrying the experts in the scientists and believe on the one model that's been put forward. and some, under some circumstances, the number of hospitalizations from amok on could be double that that we saw from the delta variance a year ago. so you can see the strains that we put on the national health service. i'm standing at a vaccination center where the warning from the prime minister on sunday night reiterated by the news of his 1st on the front desk, has really created a real surge of people wanting to get that boosted jobs. and people of my shoulder are queuing, backwards and forwards, and around the back of the tent and down the street in order to get the jobs. after delivering the eulogy for the former president, f, w to clerk,

south africa's current president. so rom, oppose are tested. positive for cove at 19 is office released a statement saying that he fell on well after the state memorial service in cape town on sunday, he's being treated from mild symptoms from oppose has been vaccinated against the virus. don't as he was for me to mila reports from johannesburg, he's being monitored by military doctors. they say that he's doing well, then while he's there, i solution. his duties will be performed by the deputy president, the prison presidency rather, hasn't expressed any deep concern around him testing positive. but this does come just after that eulogy that he gave at the memorial for the former president f. w. the clerks that he was around people and also off the back of a west african to a wave visited several countries. so those who've been around the president have been told to isolate and they've been tested. but they've also use this opportunity

to remind south africans to get vaccinated, saying that the president is just as vulnerable as everybody else. and this is your chance to get out and get vaccinated because that's what's going to keep you safe. while experts are saying it's likely that army crow infections will overtake the delta variant at some point. we're looking at about a $15000.00 average daily cases in the last 7 days. specifically, almost a 50 percent positivity rate. and what that means is that 30 percent of people who go out and get tested for cova 19 have a positive result. so exploits continue to say that they are alarmed by the rate at which the variant is spreading, but they've also continued to say that they are observing mild cases of infection. they do one more time to come out with the information around just how severe illness might be. but we are hearing more and more fun. these authorities that

there it is increasingly a case of mild infections. kentucky is covered at $64.00. people are concerned to have died off fridays, tornadoes, with more than a 100 still unaccounted for us president joe biden, this declared a major disaster in the state. one of 6 hit by dozens of tornadoes, rescue workers are again picking through, twisted, wreckage left behind him. ruin and towns like mayfield, but have only a scant hope of finding any further survivors. just a few more facts about those we've, we've lost 18, are still on identified of the ones that we know the age the age range is 5 months to 86 years in sex or younger than 18

. after nearly a month of prime minister him to being under house arrest following a military takeover. now the protesters gathered here have made their way to the presidential palace and were there for about a couple of hours before they were dispersed by security forces. using tear gas, you can still see the gas that has been fired by security forces. now there was a protest, the say they're rejecting the deal because it keeps the military and power during for students transition. that is one thing they have been rejecting. since the military takeover. they said that the revolution that they started in december 2019 was these were down to democracy and the fact that the military cities, a takeover and yet still remain in power, is something that they reject. several have been injured. already 44 have been killed in the protest against the military take over more than 200 processes have been injured since october 25th. despite that, people here say they will continue to voice their anger a big deal. they will continue to take to the street to show the military and the

about this was illegal, but in 2016 the same year that miss joy burn, initiated this policy. you had a syrian couple, one of the couples that had been separated here in denmark. they complained to the countries ombudsman after that complaint was lodged, then you had a commission that was set up to investigate this. now, just last year, this commission, they concluded that the order that miss deut berg initiated was, as they said, clearly illegal. since that happened, you had the danish parliament, they voted to try miss soy berg. and that's what led to this impeachment court. proceeding to conquer ships, have collided in the baltic sea that happened in waters between denmark and sweden . swedish mars. i'm authority so that one person on board a danish vessel is missing and the ship appears to be upside down. they say the other ship is from but breaking out is still functional. it's crew is safe.

declared an emergency in the state approved aid for 5 of us. the u. k is prime minister bars johnson has confirmed the fast death from buddy cove at 19 omicron variant. the u. case health secretary says that at least 20 percent of new infections in england, a caused by on the security forces ensued on of use tear gas to dispose, protest as in the capitol. the demonstrators are against last month's deal with the military were sold, the prime minister reinstated it can involve lots of phone calls and awkward questions. contact tracing is a laborious task for anyone to have to go through. south korea is planning to make the process more efficient by handing the work of it to machines. a pilot project and butram will use artificial intelligence in facial recognition software to comb through a large amount of video footage. that video will come from nearly $11000.00 security cameras scattered across the city. it will be used to track an infected persons

movements, as well as any close contacts. officials hope that it will reduce the strain on overworked, tracing teams in the densely populated city, april white as an information ethics specialist who thinks that it could be a powerful tool for public health officials. but a dangerous one in the wrong hands. think his just the capacity as quickly as possible to alert other people to the potential dangers that they may face in terms of infection and also to the people themselves that you know that they themselves might be at risk or maybe putting others at risk. i think using the technology in this way, if it can speed up and make more efficient contact tracing so much better. of course it's absolutely right. we have to be very careful about making sure this technology is not news but nefarious purposes. and i think that's right, i think that's why there needs to be safeguarding, in terms of public policy and monitoring of how this technology is used. and i

think relying on the goodwill of national governments in this, in this area is not always going to work. so i think that's one of the reasons why the nice need to be more international standards applied on how this sort of technology is use time limitations on how long the technology can be used for guarantees to the public that the information is gathered will. once it's no longer necessary to hold, it would be destroyed. i mean, i think this is an area where in the interest of privacy and wider public security issues do need to be international standards imposed. i absolutely agree in the hands of some governments, this sort of technology can only lead to oppression of the population in general. and that will never be a good attacks by all groups of feeling a hunger crisis in burkina faso humanitarian group. say the risk of malnutrition is growing in the west africa nation,

victims of china's 1989 gentlemen square crackdown. he's already serving time for taking part in pro democracy protests. people in palestine are turning to renewable energy sources. so a bit to get around tight is really restrictions. palestinians don't have access or control over the majority of lands in the occupied westbank. sama trying to install solar panels on rooftops to overcome this challenge leader. abraham reports, this is the largest power plant in the occupied west bank. it has 20000 solar panels and is now generating electricity for 3 palestinian institutions, including this hospital and drama, la. before switching to solar energy hospital managers, they paid $1000000.00 a year in electricity bills of for the past 2 years. the electricity has been free of charge for dr. henley, but of hoping, according to solar panels, are covering all of our needs of electricity as a hospital. it's part of our social responsibility to use electricity that we're

generating them and reduce our dependency on israel and 90 percent of the electricity used in the occupied west. bank is bought from israel. the rust comes from jordan and through renewable energy sources. a local palestinian initiative aims to install more solar panels in the west bank to increase reliance of green energy from 6 per cent to 17 percent. but is really restrictions are complicating this process is real, prevents palestinians from developing the majority of land in the west bank, installing solar panels on school rooftop was one way around it with access to lance is not the only issue, even when electricity is generated. it's not easy to transmitted from one location to another. palestine on 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 evacuate 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 illegal israeli settlements in the area. the palestinian energy authority says investment in solar energy is relatively new and still way down by bureaucracy. there is a gap of coordination between these institutions estimate 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 sold the electricity problem, but it is these really occupation that's preventing the palestinian goals of energy, self reliance, him al jazeera, be occupied by bank. the astronomy instead of queensland has reopened its internal borders to the rest of the country. for those who have fully vaccinations, as a hot reports, it had last week, shut itself off for 5 months. oh home. finally, for the holidays. pure joy for these loved ones as they re unite in the state of queensland in australia after having been separated because of the pandemic. welcome. hi miss harrison. who is miss my son and daughter? know you had been england for 5 years, and i was planning to get married in 2020, and grace we were all going, but of course we couldn't do that. so they got married in not september this year,
