that the federal government would pay for any recovery needed the next few days, but in fact, i just spoke with a gentleman who lost his house. he was very happy to have survived with his family . however, he lost all of his belongings, he lost his home. and he said that he doesn't qualify for government assistance because he already has private insurance, which he is thankful for. not having power in mayfield has been very challenging. the dorm completely decimated the power grid here and just throughout the day i saw cruise putting in new power poles and try to string up lights, but it still is likely going to be 3 weeks before any of the lights come on here in mayfield, there is no running water either, and these thousands of families who are out of their homes. where are they staying? well, some have been lucky enough to be with family or friends who've taken them in. others are having to camp in camp sites, which the state has opened up for them. so the need here is great. everyone has been thankful for the donations. i've been pouring in,

but they're also very worried about how can they rebuild from such a catastrophe? that level, not just their own homes, but those of their neighbors, their entire community. though they do vow that together, they will be able to rebuild. and john hendrick is in edward's vill, illinois where 6 people were killed when our tornado hate an amazon warehouse. a federal investigation is looking into what exactly happened in the minutes before a tornado tor, through the front of this amazon warehouse center. what we know is that between 8 o, 6 and 8, 16 pm on friday night, managers at this plant were alerted that a tornado might come through at 827. that's just what happened. a twister touched down in that parking lot in tor, through the front of the building, killing 6 people, and injuring one. the occupational safety and health administration is looking into whether anything amazon did contributed to those deaths. over here you can see the and damage side of the building. that's where 45 workers huddled down in

percent nationally. we call week and up by almost a 3rd in london. but we are also seeing signs of hope because since we launched our emergency omicron appeal on sunday night, a great national fight back has begun. and people have responded with an amazing spirit of duty and obligation to others. and i will say that each and every one of you who rose up your sleeve to get jabbed is helping this national effort. this is a really serious threat of the moment, the how big a threat. there are several things we don't know. but all the things that we do know are bad. and the principal one being the speed of which this is moving, it is moving in an absolutely phenomenal pace. and therefore, between the time that it 1st starts to really take off in a way people will be able to see. and the point when we get to very, very, very large numbers will be quite a short on and for simmons is in london with more on the rise in cases and the

the way across europe, new measures are being taken to try to stem the level of increases in the on the chrome variant. but here in the u. k, there's a question mark over the prime minister's authority to try to get any further moves made to try and protect the public. and that's something there's a lot of concern about our scientists expect omicron to be the dominant strain in europe. by the middle of january, that european commission president aust lavender lane has warned, block is still battling a high number of delta cases mentality. mixed ferguson with our guns. misty is as it might in baton. it seemed that one should not forget, or it's always important to consider that this high increase in new infections is almost exclusively due to the delta variant. what i'm, what worries me is that we are now seeing on the crown on the horizon on, which is apparently even more contagious. i'm to him. if you look at the doubling of the number of new infections, that's just 2 or 3 days that's rapidly. and science tells us that by mid january,

we can expect damacom to be the new dominant variant in europe. in other world news, there's been a breakthrough at the iran nuclear talks in vienna. iran's foreign minister says you and cameras will be allowed to film at a sensitive site. the issue had been a sticking point during discussions to revive the landmark nuclear deal find in 2015 dawson jabari reports from vienna. this is the 7th round of negotiations between iran and signatories of the 2015 nuclear deal, as well as the united states. and one of the main sticking points for the europeans had been iran's compliance with the international atomic energy agency. until now, as of last night, we reached a good agreement with the i a e a that could address some of the alleged concerns about around peaceful nuclear program. and lead to continued mutual cooperation with the i. a 2 series of texts are being discussed in vienna. the 1st is the result of 6 rounds of talks of the same time. other parties have agreed to have

while the 2 leaders within joined by the new german charles the laugh. schultz. the 3 then committed to trying to find a durable and peaceful solution for the crisis. they all said that they were committed, of course, to safeguarding ukraine's territorial sovereignty. and they all said that they wanted to try and work to revive peace talks between russia and ukraine. along the lines of the normandy format, in which france and germany would act as mediators. while germany's new chancellor or la shoulders has used his 1st speech to warn russia, it will pay a high price if it invades ukraine. dominey kane has more from berlin. in terms of foreign policy priorities, mister schultz is pretty clear for him right now. it was important to stress that in eastern europe, and specifically with a message to moscow that any violation of ukraine's territorial integrity will

be challenged by his government. and by the rest of the european union, this is what he had to say to german politicians in parliament did. if i let some tell it to any violation of territorial integrity, we'll have a high price and we will speak with one voice here with our european partners in our transatlantic allies. domestic policy is also very important for mister schultz and his colleagues around the cabinet table. but the one pressing issue is no doubt cove is and how to deal with cove is. we know that mr. chavez, his preferred resolution is to get as many vaccines into people's arms as possible, whether that be 1st and 2nd vaccines all the booster vaccine. but we also know that mister schultz believes that there should be some form of mandatory requirement. he's going to give members of parliament of free vote, not on party lines of free vote about what they should decides and that should come in the next few weeks months. but he wants whatever measures or him are agreed on

but the router will most likely lead his forth cabinet is optimistic, the new government that took so long to build will bring change. although some worry, it might not live long enough to fulfill its promises. steadfast and al jazeera, the hake frankly dashes celebrating the 50th anniversary of its victory over pakistan on thursday. it's high for independence. was one after 9 months of war, a government estimates around 3000000 people were killed in the conflict. 50 years later, the country now wants to tell the world about its progress and development. tanveer chandry reports from dak. ah, me do some mom. this landmark speech in march 1971 by shak maggio berman popularly known as bung bondo, inspired the bengali people. and what was then, is pakistan to rise up and prepare for a war of independence. won't let any of your t o,
