approval. his campaign to increase the vaccination rate among younger children though, and for the double jabs to get the 1st booster. the sofa fallen short of its targets combined with a hundreds of thousands who refused vaccine altogether. it means about 40 percent of the population is estimated to be under or unprotected against ami chrome. we are made a lot of fe into few interviews with doctors with the nurses. a will go to the schools to convince them to come to have a vaccine. yet not all of them are content like much in the world's response to the sudden breakthrough of on the chrome. this is a decision that's being made without the full information. one small is really study into the effect of a 4th vaccination. has yet to report its results. nonetheless, it's been decided that this is an opportunity, the greater protection that's worth going for. one public health expert says with the efficacy untested promoting a 4th injection could add to the mistrust of those hesitant to be vaccinated. so we

are doing something that is unusual reverse epidemiology. we 1st duty intervention that we studied, it's not done in preventive medicine. you may do it in severely sick patients that you have nothing as to offer and say ok, we need to try something. it's makes sense. but you don't do it with preventive medicines within the government panel though, the counter arguments when the day 86 percent of its members voted in favor of the additional booster, not for the 1st time the world will be watching israel results. hurry, faucet out 0, west jerusalem. and germany's health minister says a 4th dose will be necessary because if only kron the government's own and $10000000.00 doses of vaccine made by, by and take, specifically targeting the new variant. it's also getting millions of really approved novak's and yet to be authorized. they'll need a job, fell, arrived early next year. fortunately, meanwhile, has imposed

a number of new corona. virus restrictions is only kron cases rise in night. clubs and bars have been ordered to close, and people must now work from home, out to gatherings, and now limited to 10 people in each group on new year's eve. and negative corona virus test is also required to enter public places. portugal has one of the world's highest vaccination right to the us now. and president joe biden has announced measures to limit his surgeon, army chrome cases. damn thing clued expanded test support for hospitals and move vaccinations, but he's stopped short of calling for more restrictions. let's bring in. kimberly, how can now who's lived for us in washington? they say hello. kimberly. what's been the reaction to biden's plan? well, certainly a lot of ordinary americans are happy that the president didn't take aggressive measures in terms of locking down the country or living in the size of social

gatherings as the united states is entering the christmas holiday. the new year's holiday and many people have plans, they're not wishing to break. however, public health officials are not feeling the same sense of elation over the federal government's expanded winter strategy. and what they're concerned about is that a lot of it is going to be too little, too late. a, you will call that the president of just 24 hours ago, roughly announced that he would be expanding vaccination efforts. he would be putting in place of testing that in terms of at home kits that people would be able to utilize. but all of this is be rolled out in a matter of weeks, even in some cases of the at home tests that could come in about a months time. and that is, well after many americans will need to check their status to see whether or not they are in fact positive for coping 19, particularly this i'm a kron variant that's now in the majority of us states and accounts for majority of

the cases. so there is a real concern that the federal government did this as a little bit too late for it to have any impact. in fact, we're already seeing the effects of the american thanksgiving holiday and the public health officials are forecasting that things are only going to get worse. kimberly, that's been the federal response. what's happening locally across america. in the absence of a really aggressive federal response in order to slow the spread, what we're seeing are municipality cities, even states taking measures into their own hands and even private businesses. what we're seeing in some cases, for example, boston, new york, chicago is that there are enforcing and stepping up efforts to limit the number of people that are entering restaurants, making sure they have to show their proof of vaccination in this district of columbia. we've got a state of emergency that's allowing for a number of restrictions to go into place. but what this is led to is kind of

a patchwork of regulations and really is leaving a lot of people confused about what they can do, what they can't to. and that's really sort of nullifying the effects. so the other big problem for many private businesses is that they already have staffing shortages. they don't have the staff available to even and for some of these measures. and as a result, people are concerned that this is only going to add to the spreads of public health officials in the us are pretty alarm. they feel that the president, president biden could have gone further than he did. and it's going to have a enormous ramifications in the coming weeks. so many moving parts to this one. thank you very much for that update. kimberly help at live for us in washington, dc to india now where the tourism industry has been hit hard by that new varian. tell me, con, even the case is lower than in other parts of the world. the government has imposed new restrictions on inbound travelers. just days after fully reopening its board is

pammy middle reports from new delhi. the famous hub on the head was all set for a busy season. it's a favorite among foreign tourists who are expected to throng the storied monuments of largest town in western india. but now these rooms and hotel lobbies are empty during peak season. plunging the struggling industry into further uncertainty and heavy losses for until the need them and the business of dependent on it will not pick up until fall into this come in and start properly. even today, the situation is such that the tourist flushes only felt on weekends and the hotels live. you can enjoy reopen the borders last week for the 1st time since the panoramic began in march 2020. but new restrictions and testing requirement for inbound travelers. fuel by fear over the only on variance means many have seated away. in 2019 tourism accounted for almost 7 percent of india, g, d, p,

and 14000000 jobs. much of this income was generated before and visitors. but last year, as borders remain close to most travelers, the industry lost nearly 75 percent of its annual revenue. we know to store in the heart of new delhi was once bustling with international customers. today, small businesses like hayes are struggling to survive. what a shiny dr levy. business has been done, but i hope that there was science, that international flights would resume and we thought we wanted to start frequenting markets and business would pick up. but we grown, i don't know how long we'll have to leave before situation improves. many states including you, delhi has one of the highest number of oma calling cases have limited gatherings through the end of the. some stay haven't been as nice as shit testing requirements for travelers. the prospect a you'll need. the long awaited recovery for the traveler and hospitality industry

its banks. let's grab it, kristin salumi now, who's following the session at the united nations. hello that, kristen. why was this resolution, nate? it so since the taliban took over in afghanistan, individuals and entities on the international sanctions list are essentially in the government of afghanistan, heading ministries and other entities that deal with humanitarian agencies. this led to concern from these humanitarian organizations that they could be violating international sanctions. in providing aid to the people of afghanistan that was hindering the delivery of aid. we've heard this repeatedly from the united nations over the last few months. i and this also impeded their ability to

raise funds for the people of afghanistan. so the united states put together this resolution as a way to clarify the situation and make sure that much needed aid could get to the people of afghanistan without violating sanctions at a time. you know, when this aid is crucially needed because of a shortfall of cash due to lack of funding of the government being frozen due to drought, due to coven and so on a very dire situation. there. it was a rare point of agreement between the council members, but negotiations were very difficult. china for one i had to be convinced, but at the end of the day, everyone agreed that it was vital to get this aide into the country. thank you. i'll put you through the current situation in afghanistan is, are the critical stage facing multiple articles on complex challenges. the most important task is to help after gunston mitigate the humanitarian crisis,

the soonest on to stabilize unrestored. becoming kristen, is it all well and good, but how will it in show that the money does not get used for the purposes? yeah, that is the key concern, the report calls on the you ends emergency relief coordinator to brief the council, every 6 months on the delivery of humanitarian assistance and also who it's going to, whether it's getting to these designated individuals and entities, how it's being used, whether it's being diverted, or any concerns with united nations might have the united states actually wanted a case by case review of any aid going into the country. china for one was very opposed to that. they were backed by russia. they questioned the need even to have a resolution given that they said humanitarian aid should be exempt in all cases and they didn't want to time limit as well. there was also a back and forth about how long this resolution should be effective. for

initially the united states suggested 9 months, france in india thought it should be only 6. they wanted stricter guidelines, others, russian, china said that they really do need to be a limit. but in the end they settled on a year time frame for this to happen again because of just the crucial need to get this funding and aid into the country. i guess it is some good news for afghan. thank you very much for that update. kristen salumi live for us outside the you in the u. n.
