on the ground and on the international arena to close the d or for really so while a black person. so i'm continuing to be active or in democratic countries. i'm didn't information about barrels region. european countries tool worked together with the you see united kingdom to put pressure, create multiple corns of pressure on the regime economically. politically, i will communicate to continue to compete with people on the ground version them to step into work and all went into plan a victory and so on. it's invisible at every day job. it feel boss to get rid of this regime with around the world. countries are seeing curve at 19 infections and deaths rising again to record numbers. government so also trying to tackle the you all the chrome

very in the delta for the moment remains the most dominant strain. politicians in the u. k. a been questioning scientists about the on the chrome variant of covet 19 prime minister bars johnston announced wants believed to be the world's 1st confirmed death of a patient with the new variant on monday parliament is currently discussing possible new restrictions ahead of, of votes late so let's go live that a london of zeros hold. brennan is that for us? pull? we're waiting on the world health organization briefing on coven. in the meantime, on the crohn is expected to become the dominant straight of the virus there. where you are in london in the near future, the government urging people to get a 3rd booster vaccine. those. what's the nicest by the latest on the boost of doses is that there is still a huge uptake on those. i was at a vaccination center a little earlier today, and there were still long lines sneaking through the grounds of some thomas

hospital where i was in that anecdotal evidence to say this is being repeated up and down the country with people wanting to get that booster jav, so there's a good uptake, good willingness of the fact is that the numbers aren't as ambitious or answers keeping up with the government's ambition of a 1000000 a day. according to the official figures, just over half a 1000000 a booster jobs were administered on monday. we've had the latest infection, fig. get figures though, and it's around $59000.00 new infections with current virus. ok. with 19 in the last 24 hours. that's up from the re, from the $54000.00 in the 24 hours to monday. but the real problem here is that the number of on the con, variant infections is estimated to be somewhere in the region of 200000 out in the general population. and these are the cases which are not always confirmed by lateral flow tests or p c r tests. but this is the official estimate from the u. k . h s a. and the other thing that's been put before the m p. 's and parliament

today. and before the public is that the scientists believe the doubling rates of honor. cron is every 2 days. so 200000 a day at the moment within 2 days that could be 400000. and by christmas time were easily in the rounds of perhaps a 1000000 a day, new infections with alma crohn. and that is, we're the real concern to the scientists lies. because even if you talk about one percent of those people needing hospital treatments, the law of large numbers says that is going to if the, even that one percent is going to put enormous perhaps intolerable pressure on the u. k. health service. but while the infection rate of the number of deaths continues to climb there, the u. k. the prime minister is facing a potential rebellion in parliament to day over plan, new covey restrictions, what's going on? well, he's got a working majority of 79 in the lower house of parliament in the commons. there has been a large rebellion from members of his own party. the conservative party,

the back benches. recall them from lots of different factions and for lots of different philosophical reasons. one of the main things that they don't like is the provision which is in these measures to impose vaccine certification on people. if you want to go, for example, to a restaurant or to a cafe or to a large and close spaced work, where there'll be a crowd. an under these messages, you need to show that you had previously been vaccinated or had a, an, a negative test. and many m p 's as many as 70 of them are, are dead set against that. and they just believe that that is a bridge too far for them to support. the thing is though, that boris johnson has labor support that the opposition party. so there is a feeling here that those members of the conservative party wanting to vote against the government might be doing it in safe in the knowledge that the government is not going to be defeated on their son. i've heard one commentator say that these are just disgruntled people, wanting to give forest johnson a good kicking, get it out of their system, go home for christmas. at said it does present boris johnson with the real

challenge to his leadership from his own side. and that's probably the biggest significance of it. i don't think the government is going to lose the vote later on this evening, but it's going to be, it's going to suffer a bloody nose out. 0 is pull brennan live in london pullman. he thinks the south african medical research council has released its 1st on the chron study. the data was gathered in the 1st 3 weeks since the very end appeared in southern africa. and it found that 2 doses of phasers vaccine would provide 33 percent protection against infection for mama crohn of 70 percent protection against hospitalization. so the inference is that while on the chronic perhaps more easily transmissible, it isn't necessarily more potent or severe. shabbier murphy is the director of the vaccines and infectious diseases analytics research unit. he explains what they know about on the crohn so far what you do know, but on the planet tc antibody evasive. so it comes as little surprise that

a vaccine doesn't protect against infection that we're on with our death at the sandpoint estimate. i infected was another study from the united kingdom reach us all to ease yesterday are far as the vaccine as relevant as any of it see him, which showed very little protection against symptom at the top of it. that's mile off to about $2.00 to $5.00 weeks the of the people, if you do those, it's under that seem like when they received a 3rd dose of the vaccine i have that increase the effectiveness against on the crime. ronnie? good of you, jennifer, on 75 against mildly, i mean, i'd have to go with that 70 percent protection against severe disease. and that is most welcome. if we're trying to prevent infections, we're going to be chasing our tail for dining mario, because. busy the virus is going to come to you imitating the probably going to punching expediency anybody erase obedience even accepting through that are using betsy. but if we trained to prevent the viewed disease and death, we've actually got to that place. definitely is that seems as well as community

repass, metro infection is actually assisting in protecting against severe disease and death yet. right. and if osby plays asian brain in south africa right now, is why jim compared to what it was at a time, going to delta of michigan dominate that. and the reason for that is another arm of the immune system, known as cell mediate in a t, which is remaining relatively infect, despite the applications that are cutting into violence and death film you did that minute is protecting against of your disease of death and death so we need to really decide what we're trying to achieve. might, you might have your order, that's the goal is protection against of your disease and death, but they emptied tending to never sustainable to lucia to being able to protect against infection. the governor of the you or state of kentucky says that it could take a week or more to know exactly how many people died after friday's tornadoes. so far, 88 people on her to have died across 5 states. all at 100 people are still on, accounted for workers, volunteers, members of the national guard have been searching for survivors and looking for

body his al jazeera. how does your castro report start from dawson springs in kentucky that was hit state. the storm is cause more than 30 tornadoes, the biggest one, perhaps more than one kilometer in width and traveling on the ground for more than 300 kilometers and love. this is what it left behind. this is dawson springs, kentucky. another hard hit community. once a picturesque valley town, with homes surrounding it, now you can see it's just a gash in the earth. and it is difficult to imagine how the people who once lived here survived this event. we have overturn vehicles that people fled from this home . so quickly. you can see incredibly, the storm left close, still hang on the, on their hairs in inside the closet, but the rest of the home is utterly destroyed. this home has already been searched over by the rescue worker. you can see that by the green sign next to the door,

the number on top seeing how many people were rescue the number on the bottom. in case there were any bodies found in this home 0 on both counts. meaning the people got out of here on their own and are live. but this is just one of the thousands of homes that have been leveled because of the storm. and that search and rescue efforts continues today with national guard troops and others on the ground going through that painstaking work. 80 authorities say that more than 40 people have been killed after petro truck exploded. the blast occurred in the city of cap haitian dozens of houses were reportedly set on fire as a result, the explosion. we'll get a weather update. thanks to sarah. then the fight for women's rights international observers sound the alarm about record levels of violence and kid against on the us medical firm, which is a $40000000.00 settlement. and a price gouging case for its former owner still faces trial.

activists built a sandbag dam to try and stop the water flow and force the russians out. ukrainian government then built this dam closer to russian control territory. before russia antics crimea in 2014, this canal provided up to 85 percent of the peninsula as water needs. as you can see now, it's virtually empty. ukraine says it will only release the water when russia's occupation and a russian military post is visible on the horizon less than a kilometer away. moscow is transporting water from mainland russia over the coach, straight bridge, and digging wells. but rationing has reportedly got worse since the arrival of tens of thousands of additional russian troops in recent months. on the sphere, the russian army may be planning to push nor to take control of the canals, parts of the denise river. they can now it's hugely important to crimea. it boggles

the mind to think that the russians, when they illegally annex crimea, they didn't think about how they would serve as the territory, especially with water putin's main objective. and if he were to. ready go for another line, grab would be to create that land bridge between russia and crimea. ready because it is so difficult to service the territory without that land access. and that, of course, would mean, for example, taking over key port cities like commodity all paul. so that's a huge strategic land, grub, crumbling signposts, or reminder of life before the collapse of the soviet union is past soviet built industrial plants is in russian control territory. many ukrainians used to work there but left when the russian military arrived 70 year old laval as relatives on the peninsula. she hasn't seen them the 6 years. that is latina cutlets over

brutal beatings in the street, even incidents of humiliation and torture. viral videos like this have become a near daily, occurs. shocking examples of the abuse of women rights workers say it's common to the extent of being normalized with the little emotion. there was a case when a representative from a law enforcement agency said, given, of course, a woman will be beaten if she has a long tongue. can you imagine that a police officer is saying that what will happen? how can we think that victim should and can make a statement, and law enforcement will act on it? that it is an indicator of how such cases go. at one of the only organizations of its kind, lawyers work free of charge with women involved in broad kidnapping, enforced marriages. raven domestic violence, as well as narcotics and people trafficking. some lawyers of represented the families of victims of the most brutal murder scene here in recent memory. this close to he didn't even stop at kidnapping the girl. he killed her. we're all human

a victory over armenia and gained a regain control of the territories that lawson de nineties and following that turkey's presence, i hadn't said that if was the steps are taken, a turkey can reopen, it's a borders o, a border with armenia. actually, the, the good will also came from the armenian side as well, because they opened their air space for the turkish airlines flights and route to bach. you and we heard a couple of months ago, turkeys presidential spokespersons saying that in 1993. why to key it? shut the border was because of the car about conflict, but since it's over now it's time to normalize. so we heard the turkish foreign minister himself saying that and normalization will be underway, and both sides will be appointing special representatives are mutually and we heard

as we move forward boosters could play an important role. especially for those at highest li, scave, severe diseases and death. let me be very clear doubly. joy is not against boosters. we are against in equity. our main concern is to save lives everywhere. it is a question of prioritization. who gets white vaccines in why to order the order matters, giving boosters to groups at low risk of severe disease or death simply in dangerous their lives of those at higher risk order still waiting for their primary goes because of supply constraints. on the other hand,

giving additional dose to people at high risk can save more lives than giving primary dogs to those at low risk. together we will save the most lives by making sure and health workers, older people, and other at high risk groups at risk groups receive their primary doors of vaccines. in most countries, those being hospitalized and dying are those who have not been vaccinated. so the priority must be to vaccinate the unvaccinated, even in countries will have better access to vaccines. it's really quite simple. the friday day in every country and globally must be to protect the least protected, not the most protected. there remains

a vast gap in rates of vaccination between countries. $41.00 countries have still not been able to vaccinate 10 percent of their populations. and $98.00 countries have not reached 40 percent. we also see significant inequities between population groups in the same country. if we end in equity, we end the pandemic. if we allow inequity to continue, we allow the pandemic to continue tatic. but you forget assertions, director general, they're expressing very much concern that coven booster programs exacerbate vaccine inequity, will keep listening to this and will bring you where any further developments the come out of it. here at our 0.
