political caution that is not public health caution. because the suggestion is that he will offer guidance to people to limit the context of a christmas rather than new rules and limiting social contacts over the christmas period. and that, of course, sets him on just about on the right side of the empties, and some cabinet misses on the right of his party who rebelled a week ago against new restrictions. and who absolutely would rebel in large numbers against new restrictions. now they want more time for the data to be looked at on the chrome to be assessed. and there are whispers amongst their circle that boys. johnson's time may be running short in office if he doesn't start doing things more to their taste to their liking. and as far as coverage is concerned, that means nobody locked down, no new damage to the economy and no counseling christmas. and as if on the car wasn't enough. he's also got to deal with the issue of cheese and wine that the

number 10 garden has an a john? well, that's right. his authority diminished not just amongst his own. m. p. 's, but over the last few weeks with the public as well with a series of revelations, very damaging for mr. johnson and the government about what they were getting up to during locked down last summer. and lots of government parties it seems, were going on in various different ways and various different departments. and the latest sort of step in this scandal involves a photograph that's been released today, showing johnson and his wife, along with a number of downing street stop enjoying enjoying cheese and wine in the dining street garden. last may, the government said this was, this was a work meeting among work staff. i think the public likely to see things very differently indeed. and this will only hurt the prime minister standing with them as he prepares, if not this week, but possibly next after christmas. to ask them to abide by yet more rules when the evidence is there, that he and his government seem to be less keen to abide by those rules themselves

. and that's john hall from london that's continue. this started talking about elsewhere in europe. germany will limit private gatherings to 10 vaccinated or recovered people from the 28th of december, members of the armed forces stepping in to help house that clinics later hardy has this report. unconscious un, unable to breathe on her own. this woman is battling for her life. her nurses have worked on front lines around the world, but now they serve at this military hospital in northwestern germany on the invoice . at the beginning of the pandemic, i was still deployed in molly and it was a bit surreal. during the missions we had training on how to behave, but it was a bit like a tv moving. we saw it, but we couldn't really understand it. it wasn't till we got back to germany in the case number started to suddenly rise. and the 1st patients came in that we fully realized what was beginning to happen here. this military funded clinic has

something few hospitals can boast, a surplus of staff. many here are on standby to be deployed, while cases are doubling every $2.00 to $4.00 days. germany's health minister has ruled out a christmas lockdown install with a few of them. i think we are on a stable level here. and i'm also guessing that probably over christmas, new years, we probably stay at about the same level of co patient. these veterans rely on teamwork to keep their patients alive, wants to get through the type of elimination we have achieved here in a relatively short time. but of course, also the way the teams stuck together and the camaraderie. i think that's going to stay with us for a long time after it all ends. if it ever ends up on me and for those fighting to breathe a hand to hold as a gift there, nurses hope will help pull them through. leah harding al jazeera madana says a booster dose of it's coded, $900.00 vaccine,

with having this panic. i think that the vaccines are still work. there are some indication that from the in vitro work and some work that's been done, that some populations of the antibodies are still recognizing and preventing infection with all my grand add to that, that the micron is less or appears to be less than the delta. therefore, all combined together, i don't think there is a need for a panic. we need to on the who make sure that we are protecting against our bread. and that can be with taking some measures that we use to us as a prominent activist in egypt has been sentenced to 5 years in prison. i like the fact that i was detained in 2019 charged with spreading fake news. a blogger and the lawyer tried on the same challenges, was sentenced to 4 years of the fact that was a leading activist in the revolution. the toppled president house the name of our

it is doing the best. it can to send aid to those who need it most, especially those who live in islands like this one. but we spoke to people here who say they're very disappointed about the government response and they feel abandoned . and basically, even though they can pick up the pieces, it's not going to be easy because it also means that it will take many, many months before they can even feel a semblance of normalcy again. plenty mostella had on the news, al, including how the u. s. president's bill bank better plans may be sunk by someone from his own party. and please help lebanon, the head of the un lands in bay route. we'll hear what else he had to say. alex ball premier league teams is said to decide if football can continue despite the record number of cove 19 cases among players ah

our government has the conviction to look forward at the challenges that we have before us. it cannot be just changed by talking to the mirror. i'm not years to only speak to people who think like me to change the way people who think differently. we are here to ensure that once and for all the our courses sufficient for all chileans and we can achieve a wonderful life new one of them. but earlier, but it received a visit from his rival conservative cassandra on your cashed. little gas had conceded defeat just a little over an hour after the polls closed. you look in a folder for me as much as we can get our legitimate differences. him said, we want to continue contributing to our homeland. we must all once again unite all chileans. govwin conservative presidents of us dam pineda who also opposed bondage rush to make the traditional conciliatory phone call. for the 1st time in 40 years, there will be a president who will attempt to change chiles free market economic model,

which millions of chileans believe is responsible for extreme social inequality in this country. i think you see on everyone raises, reflect a big difference with in their new president, been a leg that wanted to pages of congress, which is split between his supporters and his opponents. with me that he's going to have to include consensus. and that begs the question, how long will this enthusiasm last? what each acknowledged that he faces, serious, he could nor mc and political challenges, but for at least a short while. it was time to celebrate a victory that symbolizes a huge leap of faith by the people of chile. to see a newman, al jazeera santiago, outgoing president, sebastian kenyatta has congratulated the newly elected leader. he said he hoped gabrielle bondage would lead with wisdom and fortitude. he stole political parties

to work with the new government. they would have to that rule. this is gabrielle boric, will have to face new challenges, new difficulties and new opportunities to succeed in this mission. it's essential that the government, the opposition and the all chill ends act with goodwill on saturday and conviction with the spirit of dialogue of collaboration and agreement, and with the spirit of peace and the condemnation of all types of violence on the ram petty joins us now. live from santiago, so people may have been celebrating about the markets. not so much. ryan sandra. that's. i mean, that's something that was expected giving the fact that the cancers now shifting to the last for the 1st time and practically 30 years when she land that the before electing bore. it's always chosen mother. it's candidates the there on the left, the right of the center, but that pretty much share the same economic view and policies for the country

views and policies that have help. she become the richest country and last in america because of stability thing and otherwise quite the tile area of the world. so this is indeed as lucy and human tentative in her packets, that this is very much on the faith. the response of the investors as been as humbling of both the markets and the pay, so they pay. so the local currency last, almost 3 percent to the us dollar when the markets opened earlier on monday overall, now the market is reading 7 percent below average. so that tells you that there is a lot of concerns in the market now that new president will take the reins of this country, this seeing a larger well 1st system that's promising to increase corporate taxes. and that is also promising that so one of his priority will be 5 being climate change,

putting the environment's 1st, stay in a country that is a mining country, the biggest exporter of copper, for example, in the world. so i'm a couple of mining companies have lost more than 10 percent. now the question is, of course, if this is sort of got a response, or if in the, the base that down there and well continue and the coming days or weeks, a lot of it has to do with the fact that maybe local investors are not ready to give the benefit of the vows to this younger and in many ways unproven president even has in his speech while very ambitious. and he said that he will take things slowly that he wants to see change in the country about one step at a time. and that he will work as much as possible with all the political parties that in, in the country. but definitely there is a level here of concern. i'm part of the investors in the market. the change of

this country might take in the coming months. we'll leave it there. thanks so much on this under on pnc, let's continue this conversation and speak with eric farnsworth. busy he's vice president of the council of the americas joined us from washington dc. good to have you with us. well, as alexander i was pointing out their bar just promising to take it one step at a time, but with expect patients so high for him to do everything from fix the environment to raise inequality. can he take it one step at a time? i mean it's good to be back with you. you know, that's the conundrum. he's got a big goal. he's got high expectations. he won with a convincing majority, but he also has a very divided country. it's not just divided in terms of the opposition is divided in terms of the congress. and to be honest, julie has a very large middle class which is not looking for radical changes from the previous or the existing economic model. so there is going to be at some point in

perhaps a class of expectation versus what can the newly elected president really get done in the near timeframe. that's something he's going to have to be really nimble and working with the opposition to try to figure out talking about class of expectation . in reality we're seeing markets drop as alexandra was reporting to us. how long do you think that is going to last? so is this just a temporary glitch? well, it's really important question and i have to say we've been seeing money move out of chile. well, before the selection in anticipation that the result might not be to the like, you know, a lot of investors, necessarily what people are pragmatic if they see that the policies that are moving forward are broadly speaking, market friendly and not going to do dramatic shifting of the, the economy, which has really been quite successful, actually over the last generation, at least at the macro level than i think you'll see money start to come back. you'll see new investments be made. if the idea is that there are going to be more

radical changes that don't have the broad support of the land people, i think you'll see money remain on the sidelines. so people are going to take this one step at the time and, and let him, frankly show that he's able to govern from the center as he promised. now that he would, i do think you have one additional issue that has to be mentioned that it's chilly . has a constitutional convention coming up in the new year or a new constitution that's going to be decided by the people in fact. and what that means is that the investors, i think, no matter what happens with the new governments, are really going to wait until the out onto that constitution or not. because that will be the governing document going forward in chile. now, he got a better endorsement than we thought he was going again. if you listen to the polls at least, and he seems to be not lacking anything in conviction, but will congress work with him? it looks kind of grid remarks, doesn't it? yeah, it really does. he does not lack for conventional conventional conviction,

excuse me, as a student, protests are going back now over decades. he's very savvy in front of the media. he's very well spoken and he has big ideas and big goals. but the reality is again, julia is a strong and vibrant democracy. the congress is a strong institution and the congress is itself very divided between supporters of the new president and the opposition. so to get meaningful. ready legislative change through there's going to have to be a lot of compromise. and what that means is that perhaps some of the largest ambitions, at least in the near term, are gonna have to be put on the shelf so that people can really work this through an incremental basis. and again, that's going to be his political challenge, meeting the expectations, and the needs of his supporters and his base, who have high expectations with what is he able to get through in the legislative process. once the pulse gets so wrong about the sentiment of the lecture and how can bartch, you know, play on that going forward. you know,

the cold across latin america are notoriously bad in this time in july, they really weren't that bad. they had him leading right up to the end. and so i think, broadly speaking, they were successful in that regard. but what they missed was the turnout, which is to say from the, from the 1st round, several weeks ago to yesterday, the turnout of his supporters dramatically increased. and whereas he came in 2nd place in the 1st round and no one yesterday. a lot of that difference can be attributed to, to getting his motors to the whole. that's something you really can't measure in terms of pre election polling. you can measure intent, but you can't measure at the end of the day who's physically going to show up. and that's why you saw particularly on social media and other media yesterday such a concern among board to supporters about things like buses. but they couldn't seem to get to run and get people to the polls and things like that because they knew it was a battle of turn out. and that's what they indeed focused on and the other one. right,

thanks for your analysis on that. eric fans with thanks. every of the us presidents, hopes of passing a major piece of legislation hangs in the balance because the senator from his own party, once supported joe by needs every democrats in the senate to support the navy to trillion dollar build back better bill. it's aimed at improving education, costing health care costs and tackling climate change. jo, mansion says increasing public that will hinder the us fight against the pandemic and geopolitical threats. i cannot vote to continue with this piece of legislation . i just can't. i've tried everything humanly possible. i can't get there. you're done. this is a no. this is a no. on this legislation, i have tried everything i know to do a spring in white house correspondent.

kimberly how kimberly you heard that that was the moment when joe mentioned dropped the ball. how much of a surprise was it to the white house? it was a huge surprise. you heard there this hesitation when the host said, you're a know he hesitated because that was the 1st time the white house was hearing that and it's not too happy that that's how they found out. add to that. this is a member of the president's own democratic party sen mansion, the democrat from west virginia. but he made that announcement on fox news, which in the united states is aligned more with the republican party. it's largely a conservative values networks. so this was a big slap in the face with the white house because joe match has been at the center of negotiations with the biden administration, various levels, including the president himself and phone calls and personal meetings. not just for weeks but months. and so this is the issue for the white house that they found out

like this. they felt that in a statement that they issued after that appearance, by joe mentioned that he, he had an essentially slap the president of the face, that they had no advance warning. the way they found out was the way many americans did that. he would not be supporting this key piece of legislation for joe biden, what's known as build back better. and it was a major disappointment in the white house is determined even though they don't have this one sender support to continue pressing. given the fact that really, this is the foundation of the president's legislative agenda, talking about the legislative agenda. what does that mean for job? i've been going forward. it's a problem because there was a bit of an arbitrary deadline. they wanted to try and get this done. by december 31st, there's a big reason why that's because child tax credits are expiring. this is a program that is in place right now. that allows for what is normally an annual

credit to be paid out in advance in a quarterly basis. but that comes to an end for so many families that really are struggling as a result of the pandemic. and so the white house was pushing to have those entrenched in this legislation moving forward. and that's something they didn't get . so now what they know is that the gift they had hoped to give to many americans isn't coming for this holiday season. add to that. there are a lot of other big pieces of this legislation that joe biden wants to get moving, conclude, and control and climate change as we continue to see extreme weather around the united states. so what they're saying on capitol hill, because and even though they pushed this forward from the white house, it is congress that has to pass. and that's why jo mansion has so much power right now in the senate. the both the house of representatives of the center controlled by democrats, the leader in the house, nancy pelosi as well as chuck schumer in the senate say look at we're going to get this done. it just might take us a little bit longer. in fact,

nancy pelosi saying the timeline is as soon as possible in the new year because they believe it is pivotal, pivotal, rather for joe biden. and his agenda, not just i, in terms of what he wants to accomplish. but really for democrats as they look ahead to mid terms, which are still a ways away, but these kinds of things have an impact moving forward. all right, thanks so much. kimberly how can still had an al jazeera in the u. s. the closely watched trial of a former police officer who accidentally killed the black man heads of final arguments. plus i'm a gym, roman, copenhagen harbor, one of the cleanest waterways in europe. here, swimmers come out no matter the temperature and efforts continue to create a thriving aquatic environment and the install for bold governing body steps. opp, it's push to hold the world cup every 2 years. here with that story, ah
