nationally. we call week and up by almost a 3rd in london. but we are also seeing signs of hope. but 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 rolls up your sleeve to get jabbed is helping this national effort. this is a really serious threat at 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 it 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 one. d t good assoni is an epidemiologist and seen electrically marian

variety in london. she says, focusing on vaccination alone will not be enough to limit the spread of on the con is no doubt that it's spreading very, very quickly. actually in the you can dead markets when doubling in less than 2 days in how thing, where, you know, we think started, it was reading it about doubling time of 3 days. so it's more rapid than any previous we've that we've seen, which means that there will be bagging by a large number of cases by soon. and that of course mean high impact in terms of pressure on that old and high impact. and we had to do and if you just look at, you know, the proportion boosted it's still a minority compared to the entire population. and that means that although they are more wonderful group, somebody was boosted today. for example. we only have impact of the booster and about $10.00 to $14.00 days,
7:08 am
and that's about $5.00 to $7.00 doubling time. so by that time case, numbers will be extremely high. even for people who booted today. of course, many people don't have access to the geography. so we can deal with an exponential rise as rapid as this would be to the law. and i think that's a huge mistake the government making while there is uncertainty about the impact, there is no uncertainty around the fact that the editor will almost certainly be overwhelmed. it's just a question of how much. so the fact that you know, we will, i think, ultimately need to go to lockdown, will again be because it delayed basic measures which are not restricted but could have preempted this had reacted. the problem is actually action and had lockdown should never be the prying movie measure of controlling the pandemic. unfortunately, at this point in time, the crisis is sort of here that i think it will be needed. south korea is bringing back social distancing rules as record infection. res threatened to overwhelm hospitals, them the number of critically your patients is also at

7:10 am
almost exclusively due to the delta variant. that's what worries me is that we are now seeing on the crown on the horizon on which is apparently even more contagious . if you look at the doubling of the number of new infections, that's just 2 or 3 days that's rapid. and science tells us that by mid january, we can expect damacom to be the new dominant variant in europe. there's been a breakthrough at the iran nuclear talks in vienna. iran is foreign minister says you and cameras will be allowed to film at a sensitive site. if you had been a sticking point during discussions to revive the landmark nuclear deal signed in 2015 dosa 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
