landfall. press freedom at risk. reporters with our borders says at least $46.00 journalists have been killed this year for doing their job. and bangladesh celebrates 50 years of independence, but for some, the split from pakistan remains a painful memory. and i'm he to same it of all your sports news. australia's cricket captain is ruled out of the 2nd ashes test after close contact with the cove at 19 case, and more games cancelled in the english premier league as the army kron variant hit salt worldwide. ah, welcome to the news. our countries around the world are recording their highest cove at 19 daily infections. since the start of the pandemic, france has banded non essential travel from the u. k to card the spread of the armor chrome variant. now that's as the united kingdom sees

a record number of infections. south korean hospitals are being overwhelmed by a search in the number of critically ill patients. there are warnings, the system is on the brink of collapse. and on the african continent, the delta and the army con variance have driven infections up by nearly 83 percent . that's the fastest search anywhere in the world. this year. there's cars over to natasha butler's life threats, empowers keep an eye on what's going on really across europe. and of course, you might say france, tightening its gray upon its borders and certainly making it very clear to the united kingdom where they stand. yes, the french government's been watching the situation in the u. k. a very closely indeed. and they've decided to impose restrictions effectively. banning a non essential travel between the u. k. and france. effective from saturday. now, french citizens and residents will be able to return to france for anyone having to travel in this period of time. from saturday onwards, we'll have to have a p,

c r t s or departure arrival. they will have to self isolate. the french government is says that it is particularly concerned of course about trying to stop the spread or the omicron variant. that is also something that he you leaders will be talking about in brussels cove at 19 is top of the agenda axis summit. there again, cases in many countries across the you have been soaring in recent weeks, and governments are trying to find ways to stop the spread of the delta vary and the on the kron variance. they are trying to save in a way of the holidays that are coming up in just a few weeks time. but we are expecting a several national governments to tighten a restrictions in the coming days. now some of the things the leaders will be looking at today, specifically, is trying to speed up the rollout of the booster vaccine program, trying to come up with measures to counter vaccine skepticism which has prevented

some people from going to get a vaccine at all. so a lot on the table to day for you leaders and again, as in words of one, a greek prime minister, the greek from his, i should say, who said this really is another race against time? oh, of course. and i showed you say, you know, the pandemic is top of the gender at this iep meeting. there was going to talk about ukraine, iran, russia. but was a situation like in, in france as a whole, and you're walking around, you're talking to people, hopefully with your mascot, i'm sure, but you know, you're dealing with french people on the day to day basis. both the public and officials was a situation like where you are on the ground. or frances seen a real spike in a new infection cases in the last few weeks and factor some records have been broken here. we've seen higher infection daily rates here in the last few weeks than we saw, for example, in the 2nd wave last year. and that's cause

a lot of concern for the government. so in terms of the way that is in fact, affecting people's lives. i mean, in a way, it's the same picture that we've seen over the last months, you know, more than a year now where people are facing an unpredictable future. they don't, i was going to happen next. they can't plan properly. they may have to cancel a holidays that are coming up with our friends and family. they're not sure what to do. a lot of people now are having to work from home because tight. strict restrictions have been tightened by the government in that way. and the government are also going to be meeting on friday to perhaps impose more restrictions because as i said, the schools do break up here in france on friday. and many people are looking forward to perhaps spending some of the holiday season with their family and friends. but i mean, what people are saying is they just simply don't know if they're going to have to do that. a lot of people are cancelling things. i think that's pretty much the picture across many countries in europe, without your buckler in paris. thanks very much. let sir cross over to rory

challenz, who's in the british capital and joins me now. a rory, of course the infection rates are, as we've been saying, really worrying not just the authorities in paris, but certainly the authorities across the united kingdom. yeah, absolutely. the are the infection ready? are rates of amok cron her this new variance is estimated at the moment in the u. k . to be between $3.00 and $5.00. that means that infections are doubling every 2 days. a quarter of new infections are in london yesterday. wednesday. there was the highest number of infections of the whole pandemic so far in the u. k. 78000. that previous record was back in january of 68000. and so you can really see the pace at which all micron is ripping through the u. k. at the moment, but the government's so far is avoiding to avoiding re imposing

strict restrictions. what it is doing in the bowman's, it's trying to urge people to change their behavior. had a press conference on wednesday for us. johnson said that he wasn't going to be closing restaurants and bars and cafes, et cetera. he was just going to ask people to think about whether they really needed to go out to them. professor chris witty, whose the government's chief sciences were said that he hopes that people are going to change the way that they are mingling with others over the christmas spirit of really think about whether they actually have to be doing that. now rebellious and peas in the conservative party or calling this? i think it definitely locked down by stealth. they're not very happy with it. but i have to say that i really have the mood with a country at the moment because people are listening to the advice and they are changing their behavior in the changing their behavior impacts all, not just the area. well, not just the area where you are, but a, in fact,

it exemplifies exactly the types of businesses that will be affected by people changing their ways in the lead up to christmas. and of course the new year festivities. hey, absolutely, i'm going up to the sorry about the sound of that motivator. by the way, that is not disturbing. thinks so. we can hear you slightly immediately. islands dear to land. this is shars. very evident. good. good. yes it is this, this is just re avenue, the heart of learners. there's a lag. you can probably see theaters down the road behind me. there are many, many productions at the moment which are having to her at least shot down performances for a few days while staff go sick with the cobra, et cetera. so, you know, we've got lion king, which is having to her shots, her some performance is hamilton the hot new tickets in london, the mon would or a performance call cabaret at the kit kat club that's having to shut down performance as many, many more allowing the kinds, at least for

a few days and restaurants to so tom carriage is a well known restaurants. her and chef tweeted out yesterday. here we are. this is the list of cancellations taken in one of our restaurants in the past. 6654 guests . so that shows that people are battling down once again and the problem this time for businesses in the hospitality and the entertainment sector is whereas previously, when lock bounds happens. and so every one was staying at home and performances and restaurants were shot. there was a lot of financial assistance from the government. this time there is absolutely nothing and businesses are on their own roach islands in central london. thanks very much for the update. now the african continent trails as the lowest vaccinated region in the world, it struggling to get doses into countries through the un backed kovak scheme. nicholas hack is in dac. owen says the lack of vaccine take up is causing concern.

it's worrying because right now here in senegal, we've seen our 1st case of armor crohn, but this could just be the tip of the iceberg. there might be many more that are going under texted, and many more that just are simply are not going to get tested or not making their way to their health centers. there's the added issue of people not wanting to get vaccinated. i mean, the fear of the vaccine is spreading faster than this new variant, and this is having that disastrous consequences. while a couple of weeks ago, we saw heads of states, the south african president, president, senate go and others calling for more vaccines to be delivered in africa. the biggest challenge yet is to get those vaccines into those arms. there's this spread of miss information. we met a doctor who works at an emergency ward in senegal, here, who does not want to get back to needed. doesn't believe in the vaccine, simply because the patent that these pharmaceutical companies, the producers have, has not been waived. he says, as long as there's no vaccine produced in africa,

i'm not going to get vaccinated. that's as a result. there's more than 200000 doses here in senegal, that has been destroyed 200000 more that are going to expire by the end of the month. and a 1000000 in nigeria that has been destroyed already was reported earlier. south korea seen a record high case count elsewhere in asia, indonesia because that's an 18 children. jessica washington reports from jakarta in town grown on the outskirts of jakarta, there was no this laughter and even a few tears. as these children became part of the coven. 19 vaccination, dr. watson. this one think it was a little uncomfortable when the needle pushed to my own, but after that i felt ok. hundreds of students in greater to counter received the shot as the government's campaign to vaccinate those in the 6 to 11 age group begins this week nichol. i feel a bit more brave to go and meet my friends. now. when the delta, very and spread through indonesia, from june to august, the nation experienced

a surgeon child dance. now with the situation more under control and vaccines available for children, parents say they feel reassured, must be part of that. i feel it is safe and now it is like preparing an umbrella for the rain doctor. say it is an important step in making schools safer, on the vertical with the parents, the very encouraging for their children to get fascination. some children are brave, some cried, but we managed to vaccinate all these children with the many countries in the asia pacific were hit hard by the donors very. and now in the face of the army, chrome variant, they're trying to scale up the vaccination drive. the philippines is in the mid to the 2nd mass vaccination drive, and i don't have a lot of people are now afraid of dividing, stop, so they come have one. and i really the philippine government wants to have at least 54000000 people vaccinated by the end of the year. among them children aged

between 12 to 17 authorities in south korea. the well say they have no choice, but to reintroduce restrictions of the weeks of soaring infections and calls from health workers to east pressure on overburdened hospital. we've seen a huge spike in the number of daily new cases, but also we've seen a significant increase in the number of critically ill patients. now authority say they will focus on administering booster shots and targeting beyond vaccinated a seamless strategy for many countries in the region. jessica washington out to 0 to counter. well, plenty more had hail the out there and use are including a school fire failure. turn tragedy because of children. bouncy castle is blown away from trash to treasure. the artists in garza who have turned a rubbish dump size into a leisure center for all i didn't fort action, but the 2nd actual test between england and australia that's coming up with peter.

stay in temporary shelters for too long because of cobit 19 restrictions. while those in coastal and form and communities say, they are already bearing the brunt of an economic recession and fear that the typhoon could obliterate whatever livelihood they have left. the philippine government has pre positioned aid and military as 1st responders across the country . but the typhoon is expected to impact so many provinces. it has warned local officials to prepare for the worst jamal alan dorgan. i'll jazeera manila, moving to the us know where one person is. did a new storm system sweeping across the bit west extreme winds in the state of iowa, blue, over truck and trailer killing driver. the high wind warnings are in place from new mexico to upper michigan. because of all ready whipped up, dusting, kansas, make it dangerous to drive. well, the storms come,
