really forces at times shot and often arrested in a delicately told tale filmed over 5 years of a coming of age in a place where even a child's imagination is heavily restricted. the skies above had brought a witness documentary on our jazz ah covered 19 infections and death serge in the us in europe with the french 5 minutes . the warning the oma cron variant is spreading at lightning speed. ah, hello, i haven't seen this is i just get alive from also coming up. the you and human rights council will investigate the abuses committed by all sides in ethiopia as

war. the clean up begins in the philippines after typhoon kills 12 people. trouble at some of china's largest property developers, sparking fears about the impact on the global financial system. ah hello. we begin in the united states where corona, virus cases and hospital admissions are rising at an alarming rate. as the winter search continues, the number of infections says increased by 40 percent compared to last month. while the numbers in hospital have risen around 45 percent. many universities are going back to online teaching, and sports events have been canceled or postponed. experts predict the on the chrome very will soon become the dominant strain there. a crime is increasing rapidly and we expect it to become the dominant strain in the united states as it

has in other countries. in the coming weeks, we've seen cases of alma crime among those who are both vaccinated and boosted. and we believe these cases are milder or a symptomatic because of vaccine protection for the and vaccinated. you're looking at a winter of severe illness and death for yourselves, your families. in the hospitals you may soon overwhelm by on fishes has more on this from washington. of course there was a big surgeon, vaccinations just as the vaccination started to come on to the market. and america was very happy with the way things were going. but now it's just less than 40 percent that aren't vaccinated here in the u. s. that still quite a significant number, and if you break those figures down, you will find that most of the people who aren't vaccinated identify as republicans . so it really doesn't matter what joe biden or the white house says. there are

a lot of people out in the united states who say, we're never going to listen to what this guy's got to say. even though he seeing this could actually save your life. and if you break down the figures even more, you will see that the number of people who are dying tend to be in read states that is republican states. and the majority of those who are dying are republicans. and so that is a real worry. now add to that the fact that we're coming in to the christmas and new year break. remember a month ago we were talking about thanksgiving. how is a big travel? they are people, we're going to big family gatherings. nothing compared to christmas and new year. in fact, from tonight, people are going to start heading off on their christmas and new year vacations. and that is a real worry for the white house and for the health experts. because they believe that this will lead to a search, which of course then leads to increased hospitalizations, which means that joe biden isn't kicking the but of the omicron variant any time. soon. as a u. k has seen a record number of covered 19 cases for the 3rd day in

a row with a 93000 infectious were registered on friday. total numbers nationwide have increased by about 39 percent in just a week, but the death rate remains relatively low. the british researches say the risk of infection with the con variant is 5, is more than 5 times greater than delta. a study suggest protection. for those who already had coven 19, maybe as low as 19 percent, and that it's not weaker than the delta variance. the research is at imperial college warning on the kron poses a major threat to public health, but it says booster shots can provide up to 80 percent. protection. france has announced major public parties and fireworks will be banned on new year's eve. as corona, virus infections rise, their prime minister sean cas text says all citizens, even if fascinated, should take a self test before attending social events. he said the micron strain is spreading

at lightning speed. france has been reporting an average of $50000.00 new infections each day. a denmark will impose new restrictions to curb the rapids spread of the micron, varying which now accounts for a 5th of its reported cases. daily infections broken other record on friday, who had more than 11000 cases, detected some public places will be closed. theaters, cinemas, entertainment parks, and conference sensors. the government will also limit the serving of alcohol. the new measures will be enforced from sunday. how may jim jim is in copenhagen with more on the government's announcement? in that press conference, the prime minister said in record time, the rules of the game have again been changed. she said that because of the worry that's growing right now over the surge in cobra. 19 cases here in denmark, just today, it was announced that 11194 new coven 19 cases have

been registered. that applies to the past 24 hours. and i should add that that is once again, a new pandemic record number of daily cases. every day. this week, there has been a new pandemic record daily number of cases. that's one. cause for worry then you will have the on the cron variant cases. they account now here in denmark, for one 5th of the number of cases in the past 24 hours, 2550 new on the kron various cases have been registered, and there are over 11000 on the kron various cases. overall. here in denmark, now, once the prime minister and the health minister finished speaking the proposals that they made for new restrictions, new cobit 19 related restrictions, went to the epidemic committee here in parliament. they voted on those proposed

restrictions and they have now been approved. let me just list a few of those restrictions for you. this means that theater is cinemas, entertainment, parks, museums, art galleries, and other gatherings faces will be closed starting sunday at 8 am local time for a period of at least 4 weeks. also there will be measures taken to limit the number of people in shops and in restaurants. the un human rights council has agreed to set up a commission to examine alleged abuses in ethiopia. investigate to say they receive credible reports all signs in the conflict. there are committing human rights violations. the united states is called on all sides in the year long war to end the violence. the estimates are shocking. according to information at our disposal, from november 2020 to june 2021. over 2200 survivors

reported sexual and gender based violence to health facilities across the gray region. one of the one stop centers reported that the victims in over 90 percent of cases were miners and estimated that this is still the center has quadrupled. since the con iraq, that a year ago, it is important to keep in mind that this figures are most probably an underestimation of the true extent of the sexual and gender baseline. being perpetrated, of ethiopian government has dismissed the accusations of abuse and says it won't cooperate with an investigation. we hold our own council members. so who form a stand against us shows cited in the us and that he feels police additional human rights by rejecting this is lucy. i would like to tell you that my government

will not operate with anyone can assume that maybe in american web has more from nairobi. some express concern is european union, the code for this extraordinary session of the un human rights council. we've heard that some of the biggest economies in the you have actually been quite reluctant to other members of the you that are the driving force behind this. the u. s. state department has been outspoken about this issue as well. just last week. he was saying he was concerned about report that to gray and forces committed abuses in the holla region to be a piano, the government itself, and some of the allies, a very much against the setting up of an international commission to investigate right to be described. what it says in the neo colonial takeover of the human rights commission of human rights council to try and interfere with it

with its own sovereignty. it says that it's capable of investigating the, the disease and delivering justice domestic, leave it right. say that in spite of promising to do that before it's failed to do so. today, a former minneapolis police officer came potter has apologized in court for shooting and killing 20 year old black men don't say right. she's facing 2 charges of manslaughter, but says she meant to draw her taser instead of her gun. video of the shooting, settle large protests across the u. s. john henry has more from chicago. the fate of kim potter white police officer accused in the racially charge killing of a black man will soon be in the hands of a jury. members of the jury in highly anticipated testimony in minneapolis, courtroom potter took the stand in her own defense, breaking down, saying she meant to pull out her taser. but the former police officer who was a 26 year veteran says she accidentally drew her gun instead and fired,

killing 20 year old dante, right. as he drove away from police, it's just one she had it. and then i remember yelling, teaser taser teaser and nothing happened. potter was supervising another officer when he pulled right over for offenses. she says probably did not merit a traffic stop. right had expired registration tags and an air freshener dangling from the rear view mirror. both technical violations that are often overlooked. an air freshener to me is not just an equipment violation. and during the cove at times, the high cove at times,

departmental motor vehicles was so offline that people were getting tabs and we were advised not to try to enforce a lot of those things because the taps we're just not in circulation, then the stop went wrong right, pulling away with an officer still dangling from his car. potter says the officer had a look of fear on his face and she wanted to save his life. potter is charged with 1st and 2nd degree manslaughter. legal experts say that the prosecution probably has to prove that she acted with some degree of consciousness. if the jury decides that she acted unconsciously and didn't know that she was using lethal force, that's probably not enough for a conviction. the shooting came when public interest in police killings of black men was at its peak in the midst of the racially charged trial of the white police officer who killed george floyd and neighboring minneapolis drawing protesters to the scene of the brooklyn center shoot over and over in

a tearful cross examination, potter who had never fired a weapon in an arrest, apologized, you are focused on what you had done because you had just killed somebody. i'm sorry. you knew that gently force was unreasonable and unwarranted? i didn't want anybody. that's why you said i'm going to go to prison. i don't remember whether that happens and whether dante writes life ended in an unfortunate accident or a criminal act. a jury will decide. john henderson, al jazeera chicago, still ahead on al jazeera, we speak to iran's chief new chief negotiator about progress at toast, to revive the 2015 nuclear deal and turkeys health care crisis. hospital staff are attacked and killed, forcing doctors overseas, in search of safer conditions and better pay.
