thought, well, because we did a push over 10 to look at over the christmas period. and in queensland where i am on tuesday, we reported to the highest number of cases, 1150. this is because we got people traveling over the christmas break and we got huge pression on the health system, particularly news as well because the restrictions to cross borders had been lifted . and of course, people coming from yourself or any other state into queens and now must get a mantra pcr test with thing cues that can last for up to 6 hours or course the test results are also taking days to be returned. so that's particularly queens that has been called upon to to drop some of those tougher climates, but they get to do so so far. but certainly the results, the thing the big choose and a lot of holidays have had to be kept as it comes onto the news. in theory and state media is reporting israeli forces and carried out an air strike on

problems in me in my and the military co think it the inextricably linked as the, the mere mar military, have a couple of goals here. initially they came in to this area a couple of weeks ago to try and track down members of the n u g, the national unity government, a government formed in exile essentially to oppose the government put in place by the military q. they also wanted to shut down a pdf training camps. there's a peoples defense force training camp. lot of urban youth who've been very dissatisfied with the coo, who tried protesting peacefully on the streets and found that their protest met with violence have come out into camps in the border areas which are controlled by a lot of the ethnic armed groups. because they wanted to arm themselves, they wanted to change the military, wanted to shut that down. but they've also had a decades long campaign against the ethnic dom groups like the korean,

the cease fire that was in place here since 2012 is now shattered by the q. i think a lot of the distrust that was there before is now really forcing these 2 groups together. and i think the mir my military feel that if they can get all these people out of these areas, they will that said they been trying to do this for a very long time. there have been bloody battles in the past and they've never managed to do it. thank you. tony chang reporting from the time in my border. indian government is frozen the bank accounts, one of the world's best known catholic charities. it says the organization which was founded by mother teresa did not meet conditions on the local law, the missionaries of charity, they run community kitchens schools and hospices around india. but has long been accused of using its programs to convert people to christianity. although the charity denies those allegations, it comes after a recent string of attacks on the countries christian minority in the run up to christmas. more in this with poverty metal in new delhi. the indian government has
