who lives? this is probably the most extreme situation i've been involved in. how quickly these contract award winning documentary is that also a perception witness on al jazeera ah, to cove infections and deaths reach alarming levels in the us while cases continue to serge around europe, threatening christmas celebrations. ah, hello, i, mary. i'm to mozy in london. you're watching alger 0 also coming up on the program . the you on human rights council or does an international investigation into abuses by all sides in ethiopia, yellow war. at least 12 people, a dad in houses, torn apart as typhoon ry continues its journey across the southern and central

philippines. also la vote is a more positive person. punish the prime minister after a series of scandals and what's being described as a political earthquake. ah, we begin with the latest on the curve in 19 pandemic and corona, virus infections and deaths are reaching alarming levels in the united states. on average, more than a $120000.00 infections are reported each day, which is a rise of 40 percent on last month. number of deaths is climbing as well, with almost 1300 fatalities a day. man universities across the country reverting to online teaching and sports events have also been canceled or postponed. the president joe biden has won the unvaccinated. they are at great risk. a message echoed by the head of the white

house covered response team for the unvaccinated. looking at a winter of severe illness and death for yourselves, your families in the hospitals, you may soon overwhelm. that's joy. now mike, hannah is following the story from washington was buying the rise in infections there in the us. while the initial push in this rise was the delta variant which continued to exist in many parts of the united states. but in recent weeks, increasingly, army kron variant has been found in several areas of the united states and health experts. saying that this increase in infection rates is being driven essentially by these 2 variants. now there's another issue as well, and that is the amount of americans who are not vaccinated at that's nearly 40 percent of americans who have not been vaccinated. now as you heard there from the

white house, the point being made that this is essentially an increasing epidemic of the unvaccinated. they are pushing these numbers very largely. it's also pointed out that those who had the booster shot suffer far less in effect should they contract that the virus. so this is an issue within the united states. how do you get more people to vaccinate? because as i said, the unvaccinated are driving it, and here's the key point. this is a political divide very clearly. so research has indicated that the infection rates are highest in states controlled by the republicans read states as against those control by the democrats blue states. so very clearly, less republicans and democrats are getting vaccinated. in fact, some statistics indicate that only some 40 percent of declared republicans have been vaccinated. now this is a major issue because while people remained

a vax and vaccinated the disease, the spread of the virus is going to continue. and even those have been vaccinated, even those got a booster shot, are still likely to contract it. although as i said, the symptoms and the impact on individual's health is far less severe. haven't taken the vaccine or in particular, having had the booster, but the still remains a massive issue for you as health authorities. the white house is attempting to get as many people vaccinated as possible, but this appears at times is the losing battle. while the infection rates continue to rise and importantly, that death rate continues to rise. now hovering around $1300.00 americans dying every single day. thank you very much, my can bring us over latest from washington. so that situation there in the u. s. meanwhile, the u. k is reported another record number of covet cases, the 3rd day in a row. just over 93000 infections were interested on friday,

about 3200 of those cases. the confirm to be the only chrome varian total number of cases in the u. k. has risen by about 39 percent now in just 7 days. but the death rate remains relatively low. were such as from imperial college london, say risk of re infection with on the call is more than 5 times greater than the delta variant. but a 3rd dose of the maxine could provide about 85 percent protection against severe illness. let's discuss this now with where we challenge you challenge the join me in the studio. so very, very interesting this point about reinfection, dizziness at play out elsewhere in europe. i think in denmark and that has a very important impact on the, on the case numbers. yeah, it does. i mean these, the, this in studies has been done by him here. courage they've, they've stressed that they don't really have moments particularly good data to go on. so these are figures that could change, and particularly when it comes to the severity of the,

on the kron baron. that's one of the big questions that we have to have answered, and we are also quite see when people guess it's all a going to end up in the hospital. how many of them are going to going to end up in hospital? the worrying these that's coming out of this study from imperial college is that there's nothing that they have seen at the moment to suggest that alma crone is any less severe than the delta variance. although they are caviar caveats that would say, yeah they, they need to see more info. the reinfection rates is 5 times higher as he said than, than, than delta. that's also wiring. but the good news is that the boosters do provide 85 percent protection against getting it severely that slightly less than the protection against the delta variance, which was it about said 95 percent. but it's still something give us a snapshot of what's happening in the u. k. lory because scotland and wales of

announced their own meshes. this is the thing that is always difficult to understand about the u. k. is that the different nations have their own rules and requirements when it comes to kind of, it's or england does things differently from scotland, wales, and northern ireland. so yes, in scotlands. nicholas sturgeon is the 1st minister, has urged people to stay at home as much as possible in the lead up to christmas. and a saying that if you're having a gathering, please keep it's a no more than 3 households at a time that that on the con variance is the dominant strain. now in, in scotland, it's already overtaken delta in wales. they're bringing in tough restrictions after christmas. they're waiting a little bit from the 27th to december nightclubs. all night clubs are going to be closed in wales and sexual distancing is going to return and shops and offices. so strict measures coming in. and in the last hour bus island in france of announced new measures. yeah, that's right. going for further afield out of the united kingdom on and the saying
