[000:00:00;00] a with, with the u. k. reports, it's 1st known death linked to alma crohn, after sounding the alarm. but how fast the curve at 19 variances spreading? no varied of co. 19, i spread this ah, my dreams and again, this is al jazeera alive from dough ha, also coming up, help keeps pouring in from all over the country. i thank you to

everyone how we feel you love. here in kentucky. an emotional governor of kentucky says the dozens of been killed, but some survivors have been found in the rubble left by more than 30 tornadoes. ah, drumming home their frustration people in saddam returned to the streets denouncing the prime minister of assigning a deal with the military and spain's vanishing wetlands. the drought brought a theft that environmentalists say a sucking the life out of a world heritage site. ah, we begin in the u. k. where the, all the con variant corona virus is fueling infections that has resulted in the world's 1st known death from the do strain. the very of accounts for 20 percent of you infections in england and baldwin, 40 percent of cases in london. the country's health secretary says that alma crohn

is expected to become the dominant strain there. in 48, alice and prime minister boris johnson is urging people to get a booster shot to prevent hospitals being overwhelmed. but high demand for vaccines is straining the country's health. so this poll brennan reports from london. the queue trailed out of the hospital gates and down the street, the stark warning of an imminent tidal wave of omicron prompting a massive search of vaccine uptake at hundreds of vaccination centers across the u . k. the prime minister visited a vaccination center to see the work 1st hand and broke the news of the you case. first on the kron related death on the chrome is producing hospitalizations and se one patient has now been consumptive died with all the crew. so 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. the mission to offer millions of booster jams by december 31st, was he $42.00 military planning teams deployed across every health region, extra vaccine sites and mobile units extended clinic opening hours to allow people to be jabbed around the clock and at weekends and the training of thousands more volunteer vaccinate us, hitting the government's target would mean 1000000 jobs being put into people's arms every single day between now and the end of december. and that's never been achieved before. currently the, any chance is managing around half of that. but the importance of trying has been emphasized by new modeling, which shows that in some circumstances on the chronic could cause double the number of hospitalizations. the delta did a year ago. and the booster jap gives 70 percent protection against infection. new rules on wearing masts and working from home of now also come into effect in england. passenger numbers on public transport dropped significantly in many

businesses are canceling the end of the parties. but there are determined pockets of political and public resistance to new restrictions. pub in st. her last paper, i don't think that the compliance will be as high as it has been impossible to us simply because we've had this tend to pay cindy no restrictions with the christmas holiday. less than 2 weeks away. it's going to be a race against time to avoid even more stringent restrictions. paul brennan, al jazeera london on the chronus thought to account for more than 70 percent of new infections in south africa, where there's a 4th wave president. so rum opposers tested positive for cove at 19. his office released a statement saying that he felt on well after a state memorial service for, for president f. w to clerk in cape town on sunday, he's being treated for mild symptoms from a poser has been vaccinated against the virus or zeros for me to mila reports from johannesburg. is being monitored by military doctors. they say that he's doing well then while he's there,

i say lation. 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 the eulogy that he gave at the memorial for the former president f w, the clerk. so he was a round people and also off the back of a west african to a we 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 ami kron infections will overtake the delta variant. at some point, we're looking at about a 15000 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 grading, but they've also continued to say that they are observing mild cases of infection. they do one more time to come out with further 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, as governor says that 64 people are confirmed, have died following fridays tornadoes, with more than 100 still unaccounted for. he was president joe biden has declared a major disaster in the state. one of 6 hit my thousands of tornadoes. rescue workers are again picking through twisted,

of wetlands beaches dunes and pine forest ecosystems. scientists called the wetlands one of the most important on the planet. yet these days it's the dry season year round at this unesco world heritage site. you can see that they just nothing an integral to state now because they know what the so old a species of finding my son visit those which should be a predicted in the say that half or so it broke. here they are in children, 3000 seasonal pods used to dot the wetlands. today. there are less than $100.00. the world wildlife fund or w w. f says, this park is surrounded by 1600 hector's of illegal strawberry blueberry and raspberry farms. the farmers don't have a permit to use water from an aqua floor to irrigate their berries, to preserve the ecosystem. the w w f says the water theft must and, and farmers,

residents, and tourists need to conserve water. 10 years of lower than average rainfall. and to dr declared last month, have exacerbated the water shortage. the farmers union in the province says barry farming provides 102000 jobs and instead of blaming them for streaming water resources, the government should complete a project to divert water from another basin. in the 2nd time will come follow, follow the yellow, which i to load on the dental on you. we're fed up with the way we've been portrayed over many years. we've been dedicating our lives to this if we want to leave something here. so that is completely compatible and so that our children can carry on doing this. to restrict water use, the spanish government sealed illegal wells and purchase farm land around diana national park. we to go together with a farmer, improved then by domains balconies. young. a super pro and i knew that he still

the other one, whole of them in that the stages is difficult and the okay. bad westbank palestinians are turning to renewable energy sources to get around tight is where the restrictions on the land. some are trying to install solar panels on rooftops will become a power crisis. they 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 ramallah. 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 a solar panels are covering all of our needs of electricity 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 used 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 organisations 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 by the wind communities here cannot benefit from it. it's part of these radio electricity network and serves the illegal israeli sacraments in the area. well, the palestinian energy authority says investment and solar energy is relatively new and it's still way down by bureaucracy. there is a gap of coordination between these institutions that been established in the law that slowing down the process and the career 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. need abraham l just eda be occupied westbank. ah, it's good to have you with a solo, a dream sort of get here and know how the headlines are 0. the u. k is prime minister barak johnston has confirmed the frost death from the you cove at 19 omicron variant. the you case health secretary says that at least 20 percent of new infections in england a caused by all micron. 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 or which it accelerates through the population.
