i guess i with ah, ah, this is al jazeera ah. hello and welcome to the news our live from. go, ha, i'm sammy's. a dan coming up in the next 60 minutes more than 90000 new cove. it case is confirmed in the u. k. on saturday. as the mayor of london declares, a major incident struggling to clean up in northern iraq, where to renshaw, rain,

caused a flash flood disaster, undocumented migrants race to cross into chile, before sundays, presidential election stoking concerned among some voters. i'm devin ashwin jerry. i have been crowned at fever, our cut champions, a beach in his ear tune in an actual time on their side with them 1st and it was a cracker, algeria winning the tournament for the 1st time. we begin this news, our in the u. k. where more 90000 new cove at 19 infections were confirmed on saturday. the mayor of london is declared the serge, a major incident nations across europe. and now scrambling to administer as many coven booster shots as possible. ne barker reports from london. turbo, charging england's boost to drive chelsea football clubs, home ground,

stamford bridge has become a makeshift vaccine hub. only cons now dominant to the british capital. this is a race against time to protect people from serious illness and safeguard the national health service and businesses bracing for new restrictions. it's really important londoners understand how serious things are. the best thing lenders can do is to get both vaccines and the booster. they provide extra layers of protection . the really bad news is those in hospital, the vast, vast majority unvaccinated. that's why it's so important to get both the vaccines and the boost the job with cases doubling every 2 days. health experts warm the vaccination effort. nice to reach people who haven't had a single dose. that's an estimated 1300000 in london. many millions more across the country. analysis shows poor younger a more ethnically diverse communities. our lease protected the more people to get

sick. the more critical services could soon be in trouble. there currently somebody start with one london hospital trough through a down we covered and away from work that they've had to drop in extra help from elsewhere. just a mom, the hospital's accident and emergency unit. and so that's a possible risk of a certain number of people ending up in hospital suffering with the omicron variant . and the country's national health service could soon be overwhelmed. and it's a darkening pitcher across europe. islands introduced an 8 p m. curfew and dutch health experts were advising tougher measures. they're germany meanwhile, designated france, denmark of the u. k. high risk zones with the possibility of mandatory quarantine for travelers in the french capital. children as young as 5 are now being given a 1st dose of a covey 19 vaccine. the government there is said to be considering making vaccines mandatory. we're starting to know more about alma crohn's and the details the so

bring a study from imperial college london finds no evidence of omicron having lois severity than the delta variant. the risk of re infection is 5 times higher than delta. and the variant can evade pri immunity given by previous infection or vaccination. but we do know that serious illness can be averted with a 3rd dose, making this a 1st and vital line of defense. let's crossover now live to need barker in london in naval sounds like from the reporting, the government is back and forth on the issue, whether to impose more restrict, more restrictions wise bars. johnson, so hesitant, it will, vaccines and boosters may be on the best line of defense as i mentioned in that report. but the big question is, will, should the government be going much further than it is at the moment when it comes to a new round of restrictions? the reason why the government is reticent is twofold. firstly, big concerns form the businesses and particularly the hospitality sector. that if

new restrictions do come, and particularly in the run up to christmas, that by january and february of next year, thousands of businesses may go bust as a result of lacking a huge amount of financial turnover during what is or what should be a very busy time for them. the 2nd issue is to do with boris johnson's own political party. the conservative said, there are many, many conservative m. p. 's though, ultimately against the government, introducing a new round of restriction, saying and it goes against the spirit of a liberal democracy. and only a few days ago, a 100 concert of m. p. 's rebelled against the government. pushed to introduce, passes for allowing people to attend a public events, it was down to opposition and peace to provide support for the government. so or as johnson given all they the admire and scandal surrounding him at the moment, unscrewed to the over his suitability to lead is very concerned about making

a wrong move. all right, thanks so much need bach there. let's take mr. julian tang hasan henri, associate professor in the department of response re sciences at the university of less that good to have you with us. so once you will take on this, you think the government should be introducing restrictions and if so, what should they be doing? yes, well this, this viruses growing as a rapid rate and the study from imperial suggests that there's no decrease in clinical severity, that contrast of what the seen south africa, but in the face of uncertainty that controlled the forest and he more stringent measures. however, the british public is always often opposed to this. and i think that when we have problems trying to impose these measures now before christmas as they had last year, they had problems last year, imposing more restrictions during christmas, new year periods. all right, let's talk about the bot data says so far,

all the vaccines effective against army cron or not, or do we not know, still you have to boosted or if you have to vaccine this is yes, there is some protection against infection. we think there's more protection against severe disease and death that's about 20 percent against infection. are probably about 78 percent against severe disease and death that you have the booster a seems to increased substantially. we're not sure for how long. that's after the booster. you have updated some protection against a systematic infection lab, but probably much higher protection against severe disease and death. but again, that may weigh in quite quickly with every con, because it has a very high affection escape capability. so given what you said then how justified our concerns that the health system could be completely overwhelmed. i think that so i think there is a risk. i don't forget the health care system here. they started with when to

precious so even non cubed related illnesses like heart disease, diabetes, lung disease are trusted by the during the cold winter months that of course the sunlight and cheese circulating with some are as be sickly things of the other seasonal viruses, especially rises are now returning and of course at the backlog of cases, not every case that we're trying to do with any chest as well. all right, and you said a moment ago there that if you've been vaccinated 2 shots, that should reduce the severity of the case. what does that mean about the level of deadliness? what does the data say about how deadly and severe omicron is proving so far, sir, that date is limited and conflicting. to some extent the south african dates are suggest is less severe than delta. the lou today to hear so far from imperial as your report just mentioned suggest is about the same severity. that's based on very few cases that i'm, i think what we're going to see is

a large pyramid of cases where there are many more effect cases rather than there's a period hospital. so that the civil case vitality rate may be much lower than delta because of the rapids more abstract of on con there. but we'll see that over the next few weeks. right. and i think if i understood you correctly, you are saying we're not sure that the a booster is quite effective. does that mean they're gonna have to come up with new boosters, or perhaps even new vaccines for micron? so the booster saw immediately effective and can increase or protect against symptomatic affection by up to 80 percent, but we don't know how long that protection last there. so i think the vaccine companies are nowadays redesigning the vaccines to be more specific micron. but that can be quite tricky because there, you know, 30 plus mutations in our economy as gene murmurs vaccines target that you have to induce. does mutations into the vaccine am to gin that to then get into your body to protect you against intercoastal cyclic. all right,

thanks so much julian tang there. thank you. now thousands of people in barcelona have been demonstrating against the government's decision on vaccine passports. spain began using the european union digital cove at 19 vaccinations is difficult. in effort to curb the rising infections. people are required to show the document to access social space is like pass and night clubs. algeria have been crowned arab carp champions for the very 1st time. their final against to nicea was go las at full time, but an extra time substitute damage. so unleashed a shot that finally beat to museum keeper mice hassan to to 0 was the school in the end to nicea while they were denied winning their 1st our high for since 1963.

let's go over now to john. gosh roscoe's been watching the atmosphere at the and bade stadium so how jerry approved themself, but did come to pass the test in holding this event. i'm sorry, sammy, i didn't quite hear you. can you ask that question again? maria? allow still a little bit of noise going on by understandably so, and i was saying it, algeria ready proved themselves, i guess you could say they passed the test, but did cutter past the test in the organizing and holding a large event? oh, well, i mean, speaking to fan certainly. i think there certainly, derek, delighted with how this has been organized, this arrow cup. there were problems in the beginning. there were problems with the

ticket and fan id, but i think as we move through this whole man, it become a bit easier to get hold of tickets. games like this one tonight was sold out 60000 people at this idea. and you could really feel the atmosphere because it was an african out syrian out syria be, you know, extra time is about ready for our area to well, they feel that the strength team theory without that european and i think they show that they have the skill set to place in the school for the african nations. now as far as tests are concerned, well, you know that to finish the little bit earlier on they will have to what to do. but i think overall cost would be very pleased with how they've been posted for them and see what a much bigger event woke up next to. and i'm sure the last minute

woke up now it sounds like fans behind you also very well please. going to be a noisy nightmare. thanks so much, john. the gosh, raska more heavy rain in northern iraq is expected to hamper rescue efforts following flash floods. 12 people died in the deluge. one was struck by lightning, others drowned inside their homes. dozens of properties net view were damaged, and bosses and trucks swept away. i moved them to why had, isn't that a deal with this update? this is one of the neighborhoods in southern b as this is called the coastal neighborhood. that was severely hit by the floods on a friday. as you can see right behind be the floods were very strong, that it demolished up, demolished this fence right behind me if you can see. and also, some properties of civilians have been swept over by the floods. if you can see

here in the background furniture, if you can see over the civil defense teams have been a trying to help. the civilians draining their houses and properties and also rescue teams have been deployed to other areas to look for the missing victims. as you know, this area last 112 months, infant and that was swept over also by the flood. the people here are very angry and they're questioning the government for what they call, not doing enough to protect them, especially with reports about drainage system is not working in some parts of the city. the government has located 1000000000 iraqi dinars for rehabilitation of the air is affected by the floods for compensating people and also for helping for helping people and distress for relief and for support. that is estimated at about

$700000.00 us dollars. and meanwhile, the government of the prime minister could reduce mis routed burrows any is studying or is trying to open investigation and what it calls, the negligence and mismanagement. because some parts of the drainage system are not working in some parts of the city. severe damage as well as food and water shortages are being reported in some areas of the philippines, devastated by super typhoon re around 18th 1000 soldiers have been mobilized to health emergency personnel reach stranded communities. the number confirmed killed has risen to 33 with many missing in flood terriers. 300000 filipinos are forced from their homes to seek shelter. is 195 kilometer an hour wind, strong southern and central regions on 1st day jemma island, doug and has been following developments from the val city siphoned right. first

made landfall in the philippines on friday, but until now there are still many areas, many communities in at least 4 provinces that remain cut off. we've spoken to military official fear in diversity. who told us that they're doing the best they can providing assistance, security, transport, and reconnaissance flight the local government officials who need to assess the damage in many areas, the cover president rodrigo, the therapy himself also surveyed the devastation through a reconnaissance flight over the province of city go and he himself admit that it's going to be very difficult for the government to provide that much needed to many of these areas. before that they fall in struck over a 100000 people were able to evacuated from their homes and to look for safety. but men you believe that millions more have been affected. we also spoke to civilians who survived to see they were grateful. they were able to connect and

recharge their phones to tell their families in many other communities that the survive. but they are much more fearful about what the future holds. that's because many of them have not just lost their homes, they have lost their livelihood as well. plenty more still ahead on the news hour, including the families in spain, fighting to keep their homes on the threat of eviction just before christmas. we look at how trouble at some of china's largest property developers, is sparking fears of a possible global financial crisis. and there may be travel ahead for england as they collapse again. day 3 of the 2nd dashes test against australia. ah, voters in july are preparing for a presidential run off on sunday. it's current wave of undocumented migrants is one

of the key issues that could determine the outcome. our latin america, the tennessee and newman joins us live now from the capital santiago. so does it look like this round is going to be as close in this type as the 1st one? hi there. well, i would say that the short answer is that we don't know, nobody really knows for sure. but it is being predicted that it will be extremely tight, then there are a lot of the variables, for example, how many more people or less people were both in the 2nd round, last time, less than half a chill instead bother to go to the polls, but now that it's clear what the 2 choices are, who the 2 choices are that may bring a lot of more people out. so nobody is really daring to place bits at this point. but as you say, one of the issues is the question of migration where we are right now. this is a walkway of a civilian way, where a lot of people have put up stalls to sell christmas present. a lot of the people

that are selling our migrants, a lot of those who are buying our, my goods. but the, the influx of migration in chile over the last decade, has been such that it is don't only port chileans off guard, but also public services off guard. remember, this is a country that has been very isolated in the past with the to come a desert in the north, the us the article in the south, the pacific ocean on the west. and also the, at the end, these mountains on the east, which makes it almost a sort of an island. there's been only very gradual migration to chile in the past . but now it's not only are people coming in rose as never before, but many of them are coming through as undocumented migrant. and that is, that is causing a huge backlash that has made this intellectual issue. there is no electricity or water yet. land grabs and makes shift camps like le moolah are

springing up like mushrooms all over chillies at the camera. desert area of outdoor spatial. the newest arrivals are undocumented. venezuelan migrants like angie who came here with her 4 children and no money. esther thought godfather, i've been here for 2 months. we've been living in the shack, made of cardboard, and a sheet on the top. there are no toilets and little food or wood to build better shelters . yet spaces for more families are already reserved. but there's trouble in the air . last month's julian camp dwellers set a barricade to prevent more migrants from arriving the latest in a series of protests that often end in violence. one was highly chilion, pastor lilian's heel or soil and his venezuelan wife are concerned about growing xenophobia. if you are larry calhoun, often if some of them are criminals, put them and joe, but the majority here want to work and legalize them. migrations that awesome in

the nearby city of a kick it newly arrived, venezuelans have set up camp along the sea side promenade nelson. supposedly that is the president of this areas neighbourhood association, or you will apply, you know, they occupy up clauses, beaches parks, including our most respected pancreatic symbols. at 1st we welcomed them, but then the migrant trafficking started bringing them in waves. it's turned into a nightmare. despite the unprecedented influx of undocumented migrants from haiti, columbia, peru, and specially venezuela, the government has provided emergency food and shelter. and it's become a major issue headed sundays presidential election. new left candidate, gabrielle bought each promises to protect migrants, human rights, but target human smugglers. but his opponent has gained popularity. his get tough policy along chillies 1100 kilometer northern border. far right wing presidential candidate or sampling jocasta's not only proposing to expel undocumented migrants,

but also to dig a ditch along chili's poorest northern border with bolivia to keep them out. the ditch would be 3 meters deep and 6 meters wide. and it's the closest thing yet to former you as president donald trump's wall along the us mexican border. except the cast is not proposing that bolivia paid for it. at v barrett i came from columbia 6 years ago, legally, and has been working ever since. she shows us how she's built her small house on another land grab, but she's worried ill. the amana it the by no, was to morrow. they could throw us all out of here, like they didn't venezuela, to the colombians. and what happened now? the venezuelans are the homeless ones. no one knows when they might become a migrant. on a bed like these venezuelan children cross the border into chile just this morning with their parents. what happens to them will depend a lot on who wins sunday's election

and here's an interesting statistic. there are more than 500000 migrants now in chile who are eligible to vote in sunday's elections even though they don't know it . phil is one of the few countries in the world that allows migrants who are not citizens, but who have lived here for at least 5 years to vote for the presidents. but in any case, whether one can that it wants more to arrive. others want people to want them? i want to leave. what's very clear is that sooner rather than later my grandchild going to become a huge political force in this country. i thanks so much the see in human the latest saturday protest against lithia mining and western sylvia has gone ahead . that's despite the government concessions to some of the demonstrations demands for an end to pollution. protest is called for the government to revoke all its commitments to the multinational mining company real 10. so serbia has some of your

largest deposits of lithium, which is increasingly used to make batteries for electric cars. yeah. and the glue such is that the demonstration in belgrade, the protesters in front of the city of the and the government has called on the authorities to cut, dies with the lady, a mining firm, and demand the new regulations to protect nature. they want the government to fully removed the possibility of companies initiating mining projects for 3 weeks in a row. thousands of people in the good and elsewhere in the blog main roads and bridges to oppose to the team. the plan to launch a $2400000000.00 mining operation in the country ought to do protest serbian authorities. we do to controversial laws that activists said were designed to help move the national money company. i think the open mind and local authorities in the west of the head suspended plan that would allow you to operate in mind. but for

these group of people that's not enough. their demand is that the government of serbia and new all obligations studio organizers of the protests said there will be no peace until exploitation of lidiam is ben. and there you are. the inter sent away from serbia. what do you are witnessing now? do you think that just the parts of a much bigger problem as environmental? is there a saying they're upset to be on the government's lack of response to rise and pollution in the country? now serbia, faces and electricity shortage. and on the other hand, president alexandra voltage has ignore european union, please for countries to reduce air co do emissions and pledge to continue and even expand coal mining for power france. the spanish constitution says all citizens

have the right to adequate housing, but that hasn't prevented years of housing shortages. the government in the catalonia region is trying to solve the problem by introducing rent control. but many families face eviction just before christmas, but actual name reports from barcelona. initially, carlos barrow, cal thought he and his mother would leave quietly as his neighbors had. for 25 years, they've called this 4 bedroom flat in barcelona home. that he realised finding another apartment anywhere in the city for the $685.00 a month they've been paying is impossible. he's been fighting eviction for the past 4 years. i me, when the police are expected to forcibly remove him and his mother from the apartment, the week of christmas, efik thou love by the day this is affecting me emotionally. i my mother, even more. i've had to distance her from all of the struggle because of her illness,

but is impossible to do that completely. it'll get in the ag. throughout the e u, the average supply of affordable housing is 9 per cent. in spain is just 2 and a half percent according to government data. in the last 20 years, the rental market has only grown because of a lack of jobs and low wages. the brookings institution estimates the government needs to provide at least one and a half 1000000 rental homes to low income earners. the kind of lunar region which includes barcelona, implemented a rent control policy last year. the 1st in spain, the conservative popular party is now challenging it in court. the city is in the process of building $8000.00 affordable rental homes and forging public private partnerships to build more. i think i'm in good and that we have to bear in mind that 40 percent of people in barcelona renting, let's think about young people who have normal jobs and can't afford to pay market

price housing that so it's a structural problem and doesn't affect only a specific sector of the population, the tenants union of catalonia says, decades of feeling to provide affordable housing has altered spanish society. i think it is mostly breaking relationships in neighborhoods. am and see these and towns. because we, we argued that the right to housing is not only to have a shelter, but also to have a neighborhood to have a community to be part of. instead of christmas decorations, at the better cause home moving boxes or at the ready. but after contacting the un commission for human rights, carlos is feeling hopeful. the un is asking the government to suspend eviction or offer him and his mother, alternative housing. while the case is reviewed. natasha named al jazeera barcelona was still had an al jazeera talking trade in turkey. leaders of several african states are in his stumble to do business with president out on all that jazz in
