deaths every day. the government doesn't move very quickly now to try and limit all of that. and you've got to look at the soaring infection numbers. well, over double the number of new infections on sunday, compared to a week before 88000 and the realistic figure is probably higher than that to realize the urgency of the situation. the problem so far is johnson. the prime minister is he is now a court squarely between what the scientists are telling him what his own party is telling him and pays on the right of his party entity cabinet ministers on the right to talk about all this, saying they revolted in large numbers a week ago against restrictions and they're saying they will do so without any doubt. again, unless more time is given for more data to be accumulated. to understand the effects of i'm calling to decide more sensibly what to do next. and there are, you know, louder and louder whispers within those circles of the conservative party, the forest. johnson's time and office may now be numbered. if he doesn't start

doing things the way they want things done, and the cobra terms, that means no more lockdown, no more damage to the economy. the prime minister is thought to be considering options that range all the way from what would please them on one on one end. so the guidance only to limit gatherings of christmas time, all the way to measures that looked very much like full lockdown, no indoor mixing, no hospitality, effectively. christmas canceled and ruined. and remember, this is exactly where we were a year ago. elsewhere in europe, germany will limit private gatherings to 10 vaccinated recovered people from the 28th of december. and members of the armed forces are stepping in to help house at clinics lay holding at this reform unconscious and 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 and the case number started to suddenly rise. and the 1st patients came in that we fully realized what was beginning to happen here. and this military funded clinic has something few hospitals can boast, a surplus 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 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 coverage patient. these veterans rely on teamwork to keep their patients alive, the ones to give to the type of illness 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 ever an on demand for those fighting to breathe a hand to hold as a gift there, nurses hope will help pull them through. leah harding al jazeera, more than a size, a booster dose of its covey. 19 vaccine appears to protect against the on the kron variant. it's data hasn't been reviewed by independent tax spurts. the company is also developing an ami kron specific vaccine, which could advance to clinical trials in any 2022. earlier this month, 5 also said a 3rd dose of its vaccine would provide significantly better protection of the various than just to. if i saw him is a vaccine ologist, he says there's no need for panic given the current vaccines available. i think that the existing vaccines are showing

a very good protection even against omicron. the only problem that we have is that the hue that we are losing some thick se, but not really the whole thing. there are still some specific specific immunity that covers omicron. and therefore, i think that while you raise the immune response, you are going to get coverage for on the grow. and so there is no issue with the 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 all micron is bliss 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 make sure that we are protecting against spread. and that can

be with taking some measures that we use to us. now, rebels from ethiopia to dr. region say there withdrawing from several northern territories, that the gray people's liberation front has been losing its foothold and the regions of i'm horror and far in recent weeks. but it says it's now putting out of those areas entirely once to open the door to humanitarian aid. around 400000 people into gray are at risk of starvation. a prominent activist in egypt has been sentenced to 5 years in prison. allah was detained in 2019 and charged with spreading fake news. a blogger and lawyer tried on the same charges with sentence to 4 years of the fact that was a leading activist in the revolution that toppled president tuscany mal barrak 10 years ago. he'd been in and out of jail before that as well. 4 days after super typhoon ryan struck the philippines. police have increased the

number of confirmed as to at least 375. more bodies are expected to be found in remote flooded areas for helicopters, of ferrying food and water to some survivors. i'll just say a demo out and then is the 1st journalist to reach the den. i got islands, see the devastation there. we are in the town of tunnels, say in dinner. good province. everywhere we look, there is devastation this coast. so community has been completely damaged by typhoon, right. we've spoken to residents who are now forced to sleep by the roadside because their homes has been completely destroyed. we've been told we were the 1st journalists to ever visit this community of community that really cut off from the rest of the world. there is the bree everywhere, and people are forced to just pick up the pieces. they say they have yet to see any government official. they have yet to receive any aid whatsoever. and the situation

is quite desperate. but what we're seeing is just the fraction of the devastation brought about by typhoon rice, fury. there are at least 5 provinces, deeply affected by this site for affecting millions of people. the government says it is doing the best it can to send a 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 they say, 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, at least 7 people have died in widespread flooding in malaysia. 21000 others have been forced from their homes since flooding started on friday. prime minister smiled subway and coop says a month's worth of seasonal monsoon. rain fell in

that's better for my daughter. the president elect a 35 year old congressman in former student leader, literally had to jump over the crowds time of a barriers to make it on to the stage. and where he delivered a conciliatory message to the country in little, you know, our government has the conviction to look forward to the challenges that we have before us. it cannot be just changed by talking to the mirror. i'm not sure 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. earlier body received a visit from his rival conservative, cassandra no cashed little cast, had conceded defeat just a little over an hour after the poles 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. must all,

once again unite all chileans. gavin conservative presidents have us dumpy near dak, 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 to this free market economic model, which millions of chileans believe is responsible for extreme social inequality in this country. i see on everyone phrases reflect mcfeffins with their new president, but a leg that wanted to pages of congress, which is split 5050 between the supporters and his opponents. which means that he's going to have them include consensus. and that begs the question, how long will this enthusiasm last but each acknowledged that he faces serious economic 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 vignette has congratulated the newly elected leader. he said he hoped, gabriel burridge would lead with wisdom and fortitude, and he's urging all political parties to work with the new government. they would have to that rule this appeal gabrielle boris 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 the 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. eric found was his vice president of the council of america's. he says that despite his decisive victory, but it won't find it easy to bring in major changes, 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, perhaps a class of expectations versus what can the newly elected president really get done in the near timeframe. that's something he's gonna have to really nimble and working with the opposition to try to figure out as a student protest, they're going back now over a decade. he's very savvy in front of the media. very well spoken, and he has big ideas and big goals. but the reality is again, julie as a strong and vibrant democracy, the congress is a strong institution. and the congress is itself very divided between the support of the new president and the opposition. so to get meaningful 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 of fill ahead. now, just sarah, how the us president bill back better plans may be stung by someone from his own party. and a call from leaders in india's netherlands. stay for the government to repeal a law that allows me to shoot to kill ah, ah, hello, they will have a look at africa in a moment, but 1st to the middle east. and you can see from the satellite image, those unsettled condition,

presidents hopes of passing a major piece of legislation hangs in the balance. because the senate from his own party was supported joe by needs every democrats in the senate to support the nearly 2 trillion dollar bills back. better bill. it's aimed at improving education, costing health care costs and tackling climate change. sen, joe mansion says increasing public debt 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, this is a no. this is a no on this legislation. i have tried everything i know to do a white house correspondent kimberly how kit. now the white house believed that it had secured commitments from the senator from west virginia joe mansion to continue

talking until they got a deal. and that was the moment you heard the hesitation in his voice when he was announcing that he wasn't going to support the deal, at least his current form. and so he did this. and the reason the white house is upset about it is not only is he not supporting the president's agenda, but he didn't talk to them after months of engagement in advance of making that public notice. and he also did it on a can largely aligned conservative network. fox news is known as being more aligned with the republican party than the democrat party, which jo mansion and of course, joe biden are members of. so this was a real sla slap in the face of the white house. the reason your mansion says he's not supporting it is mainly because of concerns over the high price tag $1.00 trillion dollars. he feels this is not the right time. given the fact that there is a problem. there are problems with inflation in the united states right now,

and he doesn't believe the country can afford it. now we happened hearing from joe mansion in local radio interviews, and he's expanded on his reasonings for turning down this support. and it has to do with also he said that it would not do enough to lower the cost of prescription drugs in the united states. he also said that the white house did what he called the inexcusable things, and that led him to reject the president's sweeping social agenda in the form of legislation. so he didn't specify what those things were, but a given the fact of the white house is pretty furious about this. i expect we will be hearing more in the upcoming white house press secretaries daily briefing a in terms of the reaction that the white house is likely to give as a result of these statements. closing argument taking place in the trial of a former us police officer who killed a black motorist. kimberly porter broke down while testifying last week. she shot

its exquisite tiling is preserved by the ongoing efforts of its own workshop, a craftsman, but they maintain a world class wonder that like the countries other historical treasures is largely unknown to the outside world. because of decades of conflict. both of us or the 30th here are so many historical places of beauty that are untouched. the country is only known for war and culture and heritage are not recognized laws. but the improving security situation offers the tantalizing future prospect of tourists once more. for now, her rights oldest monument, its citadel fortress, gets few visitors by the 1st floor today, numbered by gods and guns. many times over. it was restored recently by the previous government. but the world famous minarets near by,

a growing sense this time is different to be who come during that on. the emerett now has more experience and knows the value of heritage and that it's not just about religion. so it's totally different this time. i mean, it was just as the international community is holding the taliban to account for its future actions in so many aspects of government and to that list, how it preserves the past. robert bride al jazeera couple of japanese billionaire has come back down to earth. i'm spending 12 days in bits on the international space station. now he's setting is sites on a trip around the moon. i said, bank has more se just is gone. there's back on us for you stuck home i as our spend to 12 days in space, a practice run for when he hopes to become the 1st space tourist on ilan mosques. space x trip around the moon in 2023. the $4.00 to $60.00 took off from cover
