potential facilities and val tracking them through ankle bracelet, according to internal government data obtained by ac fields. the last facility in texas is now only being used to hold single adult. that's through operations are underway in parts of the philippines that have been hit by one of the most powerful storms in the world. this year. officials say about 10000 villages or in the hyphen . let's returns to our top story and the rising cove and 19 infections from the new variance. as we mentioned, the continent of africa has seen in cases rise sharply. it also has the lowest vaccination rates and of any region in the world's african countries who are struggling to get doses through the us back kovak scheme and growing vaccine hesitancy is also a concern, as nicholas hoc reports from the car a precious and life saving vaccine. free of cost, and yet no one at this cobra. 1900 vaccination center in downtown to car. wanted to take it. some pass her buys. ask nurse been to jello if the vaccine will make them

steroids. others wonder if it will give them a heart attack or if they'll go blind just by her assurances, the vaccine is safe and could protect their live. people don't trust her. there's so much misinformation so much nonsense. talking about vaccine, just like talking about politics has become an issue that divides people. let's make this clear. we need to get vaccinated to protect ourselves and our loved ones . it's the only way among those refusing to get vaccinated is t. v, pundit, an emergency dr. bob walker and young while he treats patients infected with coven, 19 young is famous for his postings on social media. near argues that as long as a western pharmaceutical companies refuse to wave patents so that vaccines can be produced locally. they should not be trusted or used on africans, on a new cuz it's not a vaccine. it's a product being tested on people. that's why people are getting sick despite to

even before we have seen is diversify production. and maximize production all over the world that are so many companies. just publish a report yesterday about the number of companies in developing countries that could have made the vaccine. that was made more dorothy and made them available to you. we still have the option with them can do that if the company's share the knowledge about the vaccine, that is an m r n a. how been up and then not doing that. they want locally perkins president raj, a paper, one plans to raise the minimum wage by more than 50 percent. next year workers will now earn a minimum of $275.00 a month. earners in that category will also be exempt from paying income tax, but the turkish lira has lost more than half its value this year alone with annual inflation at around 21 percent. since because we're good how's more from a stumble turkish government decided for

oh ah ah ah thanks for your company. we're alive from our our cup studio in de ha ha on down the nation. plenty of sports coming up, including the latest on the emerging cove. it crisis in the premier league with another 2 matches and cooled off australia. cricket team also affected by cave if they take you up a hand. they've england off a day, one of the 2nd ashes test and mercedes withdraw the repeal over the race result from the championship poseida in abu dhabi cove at 19. it continues to wreak

havoc on the english premier league with 5 matches now called off in a week. the latest a fall was thursdays fixture between lester and taut necessities gain between manchester, united. i'm bryson, in i said, had to 7 plays available for that match with cases among scalds spiraling brentford keisha, thomas frank is urging the league to pause the season and prevent a full shut down. we think that we ship his bone, the full round of premier games this weekend, coming up the the code cases going through the roof in all the primary clubs, every one of dealing with it. every one have a have a problem. this moment time am to postpone this round and also the cow co. brown will give everyone a week at least a to all these i don't know exact the know before 5 days to, to clean and, and, and do everything in the training ground. so everything is fine. yeah. so you break

the chain. and in every club, when i joined by rob harris from the associated press, rome, how close is the premier league from pulling the season to deal with this latest outbreak? well, we now know that half of this weekend's matches won't go ahead in the last minute or so i just received an announcement from the premier league that full more games . in addition to that manchester united writing game show that they have now been called off of this weekend half of the program. we know south hampton against brentford, that was due for saturday as well as for crystal palace, west ham know rich as well on saturday as well as ever and less on sunday. they've all been cooled off g to provide a virus outbreaks at the clubs. which means that will in total, have had 9 games in a days or so postponed due to the provide a virus case is spreading across primarily clubs. and that's just the states as now on 1st day to day out from this round of games and really reflecting

a worsening corrosion of our situation in the u. k. the fact is there's been a record, 88000 cases recorded in the last day. that was an increase on yesterday's amount, which is also a record and ready reflecting the and the spread of the on the chrome fabric which is causing so much concern and leading to try new grounds being closed. and the calls for a complete shut down even temporarily of the league. so much concern across clubs. indeed. ultimately, of course of the help the players coming 1st and foremost absolutely. do you think the leader of the thought it took us very much. you just, you just break a minute due to the pressure from just such as from the frank. yeah, exactly, and he is really, i think, reflecting a lot of the uncertainty over how these decisions are being reached as well. we had less originally off the primarily on wednesday to perspire tonight's game against

them. that request was turned down. it was only this morning when that request was fulfilled and less time to close the training ground. and we discovered a bit more detail from the premier league, what they take into consideration when assessing a game should go ahead and it's not only the outbreaks within clubs, but also the risk of wider infection. 2 of these people coming into contact with others. so the grounds that playing go oppositions and there are new strict corona virus regulations in place from this week daily test players, they have to take the actual flows in their cars before even getting into the access to the training grounds and they're twice weekly pcr test as well, so the most ever seen joined the pandemic testing at primarily clubs and of course, as it stands now, the 5 games that will be played this weekend will have full stadiums because there are currently no restrictions on the capacities unlike say, we've seen in germany despite the fact, the government is

a vote using people generally to avoid contract isn't deemed essential social contract. and it's not just football in england being a factor so badly as it were, hearing more positive tests around madrid. what's the latest that? yeah, we've had that 6 plays that testing positive, including garris bio luca moderates as well as want to call the ones a lot of the systems. and that's really showing how the situation a spreading was quite interesting in spain is there is a high take up of vaccinations. the play is just some details the game today. the fact that actually was around 93 percent to play it in league off for the vaccinated another 4 percent of the antibodies. compare that with english football and we discovered from the f l. today the company knows 3 leagues delay the primarily only 2 thirds of play as a fully vaccinated. and one for say, they're not going to get jobs. the latest primly figures we have on vaccinations

are actually still from october, which was also saying that only 2 3rd supplies were fully vaccinated and no update since then. yet the premier league is encouraging plays. now when you get vaccinated, but to get that booster shots as well, something you can cooperate, particularly being pushing at a message or site from the way to present allas on the schaeffer and speaking today . encouraging plays to get jap saying he believes in the science while accepting it is still a personal choice from her that from the associated press a thank you very much for your insight that rob just mentioned that the president view a for play as across europe to get vaccinated as quickly as they can. european football is a governing bodies set to launch a video aimed at players which features doctors expanding the benefits of private 19 job. i think that they should get vaccinated as soon as possible, but i still believe for now it's a personal choice. and we have to be smart. we have to explain things. people are not stupid. people understand when you explain in a nice way, not judging them,

but to explain why vaccination is good. us bolt is also being hit hard by current virus. the nfl commissioner roger del says he's confident they can walk away through the lease. was that right? since the pandemic began good out by the nfl owners meeting in dallas with several items on the agenda, but none more pressing them. corona virus with about a 100 players testing positive since monday. it's a challenge. and you know, i think the things that have made us successful is keeping safety 1st, 2nd, being willing to adapt at all times. and you know, we adapted several times last year. we've had to do that coming into the season. we work closely with the players association on those changes. and it's clear even in the last couple of weeks, that the changes are pretty significant and different and they were before and i think caused for modifications to our protocols in general. and we're working with

the players association on that. we have some obviously steps that we feel are necessary to take, but we're confident we can work our way through. private 19 is also affecting crickets. ashley varies with australia having to play england without the captain. pap come in with rude out to the 2nd test because he was deemed a close contact of somebody with coven 90. he dined in the same restaurant as a positive case on wednesday night. i'm just now isolate for 7 days for the captain . steve smith is taking charge in his absence. the set back and leaving the skipper the nothing to shake off the radio on day one byte losing one of the ripening batsmen early. thanks for a brilliant catch from your butler bill. the school to 221 runs just gets david want to continued his recent good form. but once again, he was dismissed. joshua for century mana love, shane finished the day on beats and online t 5. but he should have been out late in the day for the shopping and dropped caps
