rogers, heroes, hippa, morgan, who joins us in khartoum. here i understand the tear gas has been that used against some protest as well. yes indeed, adrian, we are right now on the road known as the butter avenue, which means the presidential avenue and just we salary. now they're trying to make the way into the presidential palace to pass the military, to pass a mistake to the military that they don't want the military in power tear gas has been fired at the protesters in front of the presidential palace. many of them had had to retreat, but again, thousands and thousands continued to pour on this avenue to give the boy that their voices and show their demands of the military that they wanted me to remove from sedans, politics. this of course, has been the main demand since the military takeover in october. in late october

where several leading senior political figures had been arrested, including the prime minister. he was reinstated in late november, but many he has a disregard that an agreement because it still keeps the monitor empower something they don't want to see. and is the military listening to protest estimate now the military has said that they understand why protesters are not happy with the situation, but they don't blame it on themselves. they say they will continue to god the revolution they regard themselves as, as the guardian of sedans, transition hon. loosen, which is now marking. it's the 3rd year and they said they will continue to lead the country and form a government of technocrats officials with no affiliation to any political parties that will lead the country to elections in july 2023. now the protest, i say that, but that means that the military is this regarding them and do not recognize that demands with the military to be completely out of the scene. so many of them say they will continue to protest the already days that have been marked out in the

weeks ahead. for protested to stick to the street, including here on the street that leads to presidential avenue to voice their demands for the military to be removed from power. everybody thinks the doses have a morgan that live in saddam's capital courtroom. a surge in corona virus cases linked to the on the tron variance is seeing european governments taking urgent action cases. a soaring to record highs in the lead up to the winter holidays. the netherlands has begun a strict lockdown that the prime minister has called unavoidable non essential shops, bars, restaurants, schools and many public places all closed. in ends in some of the thoughts summarized in one sentence, the netherlands will go into looked down again from tomorrow. the netherlands will be locked down again. that is unavoidable because the 5th wave coming at us with

the on the kron very and at the u. k. prime, at a subarus, johnson's government is under pressure to impose tougher restrictions to prevent hospitals being overwhelmed. london's mer is warning that you measures are inevitable. he'll be holding an emergency meeting with health and security officials. that's off to the u. k. a has confirmed more than 900000 infections on saturday. i'll just hear a step boston reports now from amsterdam. one of the free countries in europe no has district is locked down since 5 o'clock this morning, only essential shops are allowed to remain open and only visitors are allowed at home. the decision came as a surprise to many here in the netherlands, and is specifically dramatic for business owners and the busy weeks before christmas. the government says, even though infections the army, chrome very and not as widespread as in other countries, yet they are concerned that in the next few weeks, hospital will be flooded. but the main reason, according to experts,

is that the madeline performed poorly during the last outbreak. and many patients with the data very and still in hospital also in adults with one of the last countries to start it's boost the campaign. so many people are not protected here. and the netherlands has refrain from taking unpopular mashes like for example, one or 2 g policy like in germany, the only people with vaccinations or tests can enter shops, restaurants, and bars. and i was have seen protest and riots in the last couple of months against covert restrictions, and also against the unclear policies by the government. so many are wondering what will happen now in the time before christmas when people want to get together and celebrate. pan candy is a senior clinical lecturer at the university of exodus medical school. he explains the current concerns around the new variant because it is, are highly infectious and we have seen the rising tide of cases. we know that it

won't be 0 disease causing. so let's take an example. if the delta vary caused one percent of the people to be seriously ill. on the other hand, we've got ami crone, which will create many more millions of cases. and it is not 15 percent. seriously ill, but not 15 percent of a very large number. a much larger number is still a very big number. and those are the concerns. the other concerns are this vaccine bypassing. and then finally there is a not so peer reviewed report out just yet from imperial university, which say's that it may be just as much disease causing as the delta variant. what is required? is it continuous effort? you the locked down gives you a little bit of breathing space. i accept that. but after the locked down, it shouldn't be. you drop all your god. and this is where i think we've gone wrong in the united kingdom, which is because it freedom day and all sorts of other euphemisms. that's the wrong

messaging because if you continue after the locked down with good infection control measures, you won't need another one. and that's the way we should be doing it. here with an here's our on our 0 still to come on the program. urgent appeals for aid of typhoon roy wreaks havoc across the southern and central philippines. the charity blaze here that's trying to reduce food waste and to feed furs in need or in sport, crowd scaled back and team say that they weren't signed players who event who aren't vaccinated to, to continue to have leagues around the world. ah, false or open in chile as people that decide who'll be there next president sunday's election run off pittsbur left wing, gabrielle butch, against the far right candidate. jose antonio cast or latin american editor,

lucille newman as the latest from santiago of a close race which has polarized opinion o the left a former student protest leader who in february terms $35.00, the minimum age for running for president board again. no, i got to but i was, i see why, why did we become used so much inequality? why did we allow it to grow before our eyes? never again, we will change it on the far right. a 2nd generation german immigrant who supported chili's, former military dictatorship and believes that there is a global left wing conspiracy, etc. the noise messina, hamas chile will never be a marxist or communist country because we believe in freedom. this is kelly and bought each when he became a congressman 7 years ago for the newly formed left wing political coalition that pushed for structural social reforms. my guy, he represents a new generation that took to the streets 2 years ago,

demanding more equality in chile, which has won the highest income inequality in the world than his symbol is this tree from what he used to imagine a better future critically from his home city of boon, that anus, that overlooks the strait of magellan. agatha a single mother tells us she's not worried about his use. now, then began for lookin to know them. i field, that's what we need to be a new vision. new ideas, more support for young people to get ahead. but some moderates and investors are frightened, but it is alliance with the communist party. bodies has changed cuz style to look a bit more presidential think even has been recalibrating his my grand down to those that was mailed to him as been rateable when he's not the only one who has very significantly tweaking his profile. former congressman cast is an old school ultraconservative catholic, who opposes abortion in same sex marriage. his motto is,

make chile great. again. he would expel undocumented migrants and his position on climate change is lukewarm. he would maintain chiles unbridled free market model and lower taxes have big business. but in recent weeks, he's reconsidered, allowing the military to make arrests without a warrant during a state of emergency. cast biggest drawing card is, has promised to restore law and order money if it was still a most needs is security. but real, this was a peaceful country there. anyone could look around as any our get and now it's not safer anywhere. cast represents the return of public order and respect for authorities, but each, the hope that dreams of social justice can come true. symphony and them do more the loss since her different models confronts each other in the selection. 2 generations with opposing visions of what she needs, but what her different ways of seeing life as well will we face convulsive times on medical dc. either one could become the next president of

a country that has lost its political center. the very thing that the 3 decades seem to guaranteed chili's reputation as latin america's standard bearer of political and economic stability. to see a newman al jazeera santiago, let's go live to santiago. i'll just arizona, some of empathy, is that that for so allison room, polls are open and as tightly disputed election was the latest. yes, adrian. the pose opened roughly 2 hours ago around the am. local things seems to be going smoothly and peacefully throughout much of the capital, santiago, and throughout the rest of the country. there were some complains in parts of some viagra and some pulling stations for some delays in the starting of. 2 the votes, but those have been resolved among the 1st one to vote is the current president of

the conservative sebastian opinions he both had. he then spoke to the press and took advantage of it to sort of call me a call for unity a to lance, telling them to come out and vote massively. another important person that voted early was a former president of the country, michelle bachelor, who is the current high commissioner for human rights at the united nation. and she said, or she reminded both candidates, that there is a difference between being a candidate and the president of the country and said that whoever will win, even if they are at the opposite end of the political spectrum of the country, they need to be a president for all land so, so far the voting is going on. we haven't seen a massive amount of people, but a steady stream of childrens that are coming out to cast

a ballot and what are expected to be quite tightly. these 2 types of disputed content. yeah, it's going to be pretty close then that's the expectation a then? and then what's that? what both candidates have been saying in the last a few days according to their internal pulls, official pulls. i've not come out for over a week now. that's because the law here requires pollsters to stop publishing. they're pulled 7 days before the elections. and the truth is that there is a lot of uncertainty on who will come 1st and this to run off and look for this is that come through where people were used to voting for centuries, candidates either centre, less or sensor, right? that has been the case for the last now 31 years since sheila returned to the macos the at the end of the peanut share democracy. i mean dictatorship,

sorry. so this is definitely something new in, in this country. this has been quite polarized the campaign and there is and the other services among many children's for the outcome. they see this as a leap of faith in many ways of transformation. and the politics of the country, as i said in our pack, is that as somehow lost, but the political sense, or the traditional stability that has been part of the pride of the richest country in latin america. i think one very important thing to see here is that if there will be a larger number of children's coming out to votes, just 47 percent of children's both. in the 1st round, we've seen both candidates trying to attract both not more voters from the center, more moderate voters. they've been recalibrating some of their proposed

policies. so we're going to have to see if more people will come out and who will come out 1st. but one thing that i can tell you is that the boys campus already built a big scenario for their party tonight. so maybe they are expecting that she could be the next president sheila, that would be surprising. choice is a 35 year old former student leader with very little experience in government. but we're going to have to see what happens later tonight. there is a sound of panty reporting live from somebody. thanks cindy's. in the us latino, a black voters say that they're losing their right to vote. non white versus in texas complained of being frozen out after republican politicians campaign to have electrical maps. redrawn following president donald trump's reelection failure as phil of l reports. now the department of justice is suing texas and it's

a similar story across the us. texas a serving off for a fight on the political landscape and nod white voters are at the very heart of it . i feel ready. i don't have no voice. jerry. amanda is the word of the moment here that is parties deliberately changing political boundaries to give them an advantage. it's not the people picking the partitions, it's the politicians speaking the people people that are voting for them, remapping congressional district to dilute the opposition. and now the federal government is suing texas. the department of justice claims republican lawmakers are deliberately discriminating against a growing, gnawed white population. as a supreme court has observed a core principle of our democracy, is that quote, voters should choose than representatives, not the other way around. kayley runs this mexican restaurant in austin. frustrated, doesn't come close. doing at 0 does not represent is. that's, that's a lateral law. mean is, is that is awesome to us,

to stand up and say something like it. now that he was going to give up. the democrats campaigned hot here in texas in the 2020 presidential election and assign it just how much they think this state could flip. now that didn't happen, but they are increasingly confident here. texas is no longer the certainty for the republicans that it once was, and that has got some in the g o pe pretty worried texas gained to new seats in congress after the 2020 census which showed the population shot up by 4000000 over the last decade, 95 percent of that growth driven by black and latino arrivals to groups typically more likely to vote democrat. but there are no new minority dominated districts in the new maps and interesting aspect of the american political process in which the process of drawing these maps is decentralized to the state level. most states have a very political process that runs to some degree or another through the state legislature on,

in those legislatures are partisan bodies. and they are gerrymandering nationwide from georgia to florida to north carolina, which is delayed next year's primaries because of legal challenges. but it is not just a republican issue, the democrat of similar stuff in the past. right? so, i mean, what's the problem? well, the problem is, it's the under credit at the end of the day. and so, you know, when me and my friends and different people, i worked with an organized um, when at pushing to get democrats elected here, there's now with the fighters for right now, the congressional district, the state house district, are all majority white here in texas, even though, texas one of the most diverse states, an entire country, republican governor, greg abbott, has signed off on the controversial changes he's backed by the state attorney general, who caused the d. o. j law suit, a ploy to control texas, voters, there really going to be less hispanic voting for some of those voters. the solution is simple. if all of us show up to vote, we can, it doesn't matter how much he jury amended the district, we will win those seats. but the question, is it fair or even legal?

the courts will have to decide on that one fed. lavelle al jazeera austin, texas. hong kong is holding its 1st election since china imposed a sweeping national security law. voters were electing politicians to represent them in the legislative council. but unlike previous elections, most of the candidates have been vetted and approved by bay ging with 44 at 4400000 residents eligible. a turnout so far has been low. on congress largest opposition party, the democratic party has boycotted the elections brit credit reports. now, from hong kong giant billboards all over hong kong, urging residents to vote in an election design strictly for chinese patriots. security was tied to hong kong held it 1st paul, since china's leaders in beijing over whole the electoral system. those changes they said were to ensure only those who love china run hong kong. the new rules

drastically limit the number of directly elected seats in hong kong, parliament 4 and a half 1000000 hong kong residents are eligible to vote for members of the legislative council. but their ballots will only decide 20 seats out of 19. the rest will be hand picked by prob, aging committees. the leadership in beijing says the new rules will clean up what it calls any anti china elements, and bring calm to the once lively legislature in the formats for his calling. that regulation that way, if you set it that way, you'll have to obey the law office. the basic thing, if you don't want them, don't play the game with my pro democracy figures out as of right. the probate politicians are working ahead without an effective opposition. the question is, how many voters turned off by the lack of choice? this 20 year old student who asked al jazeera to conceal her identity, said the lack of representation meant she won't be voting. the golf and election,

the not trustworthy to me now because they can just qualify whoever they will dislike and root. can we change every 2nd side off a month to what they're sorry for. so actually this is quite huge. there's an meaning all $153.00 candidates in the selection were selected. priority is they had the concept of patriotism and love for hong kong. what they want is hong kong to be good. early polling data suggested a lower turn out than previous years. but while casting her balance hong kong leda, kerry lam reiterated that the turn out is not her focus. the government not set any target for both to turn out right. not for this election nor for previous election . because there is a combination of factors that will affect the vote to turnover rate in any election, but it does appear to be a delicate topic. the hong kong government threatened the wall street journal over one of the newspapers critical editorials in the lead up to the election. and at

least 10 people were arrested for inciting others to cost a blank ballot. exiled leaders of the democracy movement called for everyone to boycott. sunday's election, police responded by issuing warrants for their arrest. brit clinic al jazeera hong kong pakistan is hosting an emergency meeting on how to help prevent famine in neighboring afghanistan. the organization of hispanic co operation is highlighting the needs international assistance. 14000000 african children are expected to suffer acute levels of malnutrition. this winter. like to sounds prime minister iran con, told the meeting that disaster can still be averted if fleet is act together. now. the point is that if the world does not act, this will be the biggest manmade crisis which is unfolding in front of us. we the, oh i see it's
