has now reported 208000 new infections, the highest ever recorded in europe. that means that's equivalent to 2 new infections. every 2nd, the government has made masks mandatory outdoors in paris. worried about the economic impacts of forcing millions of people to work from home. several nations including italy, spain and the u. s. a shortening quarantine periods and easing isolation rules. ne barker begins coverage from london. the across europe, there are keys outside cove in 1900 testing centers. as a 3rd to corona, virus infections take home in greece. fund restrictions have been brought forward up to the number of cases more than doubled in a day. the world health organization, the moral conscience of the crisis monk, 2 years since the start of the pandemic, with a warning to rich nations racing ahead with their vaccine booster drives. this is

the time to rise above charlatan, nationalism, and protect populations and economies against future variance by ending global vaccine inequity. i want governments industry and civil society to work with us on a campaign that targets 70 per cent vaccine coverage in every country. by the start of july, many wild leaders, including the british prime minister, have thrown their weight behind, getting a 3rd dose of a covey vaccine into as many arms as possible. we know on the crumbs a mile to varian and that those admitted to hospital are spending less time there. but it's highly contagious. meaning large numbers could still need hospital care. it's also affecting frontline staff numbers. absence is tripled in london's hospitals this month. and nearly 10 percent of the city's firefighters called in

sick, overwhelming majority of people who are currently ending up in intensive care in our hospitals are people who are not boosting. i talked to doctors who say the numbers are running up to 90 percent of people in intensive care. we're not boosting. if you're not vaccinated, you're 8 times more likely to get in the hospital altogether. in germany, an urgent appeal for people to rein in new year's celebrations. the number of cases there is now believe to be $2.00 to $3.00 times higher than official figures. bitter fancy, and gaston police celebrates in very small numbers and do not endanger each other. because the cow reported incidents of cases undermined the danger we are currently in. the rise of alma crohn has dashed hopes that the worst of the pandemic is over . but the w h o insists 2022 must be the year. it comes to an

end. ne, parker, out years era, london, and in the united states, cases of increase there by 60 percent, also hospitalizations and deaths remain low. the cdc says new infections are being driven by the exceptionally transmissible omicron variant. hydro castro has more forest from washington. if the highest daily new cases ever in the u. s. were now at 267000 new coven cases, that's the daily average. 60 percent of which is now attributed to the omicron variant and the nations for most infectious disease expert, dr. anthony thought she is predicting that it will only get worse before it gets better. he says the peak of this current surge will likely come in late january. we're seeing much of this happening now in the north eastern part of the u. s. with places like new york city here in washington, d. c,

and surrounding states. people queuing for hours in search of covey tests, and then one in for, in many communities coming back positive. now if there is some silver lining, it's the evidence that here to the omicron variant is resulting in milder infections. because while those cases of jump to some 70 percent since a week ago and number, the hospitalization has not kept pace, that's gone up by just 15 percent. but when you just look into each individual case, those are still each person occupying hospital beds and hospitals are swamped with many counties declaring local states of emergency and warning that soon these hospital beds will all be used up. well, as we mentioned a little earlier, countries such as italy, spain, on the u. s. all ease in quarantine. rules for those infected are in sorrow, is an assistant professor of microbiology and immunology at georgetown. she says

the science barks, the u. s. cdc's decision to shorten the recommended time for our solution. it's still a 10 day process, and this is something that was developed and, and decided on, based on the science that we've gathered on oma. and the idea is that if you test positive, you isolated home for 5 days, and if you are asymptomatic or if you clear your symptoms, therefore you don't have a fever after 24 hours or for at least 24 hours, i should say. then that is followed by a 5 day period where you should be masking around other so it's still 10 days. it's just now 5 days. so my solution and then 5 days of wearing a mask. if you have cleared your symptoms or if you have always been asymptomatic and that's based on what we're understanding on the replication and transmission rates of micron for a delta, i think it's important to consider that that 10 day quarantine at home for those that are on vaccinated they really need to stay at home if they become sick and,

and home ice late for those 10 days. this guidance has really been updated based on what i think we've learned based on breakthrough case it was on the crime. now in india, new restrictions on non essential activities are in place and the capital, new delhi and boost of vaccine doses are set to be rolled up to some early next year. poverty natal has more these factory workers are racing against time, trying to finish their day's walk before the coffee starts. so they don't lose their wages as the virus threatened to wipe out the livelihood once again. but if you're looking at it, i'm scared of the gulf, you read as the own. i'm a poor person and migrated from a village to make a living there. i'm scared of corona virus and the night go few ask over 9000 cases . why? sharply, several states have imposed night curfews, and strict are tested goods for travelers. new delhi, which has the highest number of omicron cases and the country has been put on

yellow alert schools, gyms and cinnamon have shot with new restrictions on restaurants and public transport. the capital is preparing over $900.00 ward and ramping up oxygen supply . as a 3rd wave of infections is threatened, despite that markets have been crowded. the chief minister has implored every one to follow colbert 900 protocol. need you to get enough fairly. we don't want to spread yet again, and that is why we are repeatedly making appeals. that if you go out or go to market or office please, where we have to be responsible. but at the same time don't be scared. the government has also signed it. if vaccination, dr. starting next month or the 15th will be eligible for a job, why frontline workers and over sixty's with health problems can receive booster shot. the government has approved to new jobs and an anti virus drug to treat colbert 19 why india is showing some indication of renewed attention to

this one to graduate. and that is on including recognition coverage. i endo wind up any testing, but as far as the appropriate behavior, it doesn't, there is a lot of room or space for improvement. while infections and hospital cases remain lower than in other parts of the word, the government says restrictions will be increased if the infection rate continues to rise. why mock a treat as like these feel financial losses, political rallies, continuing states when elections are due earlier than you young? that's provoking fears of a repeat of so called super spread out really just gathering an election valleys. they went ahead in the summer, despite the delta veterans infecting millions of indians, pavement that i'll just iraqi. danny. a jury in new york has found the bushi social i. gillian maxwell guilty on 5 counts and a sex trafficking trial charges against the former associate of the american

financing and convicted peter file jeffrey epstein included sex trafficking of underage girls, his gabriel elizondo. it took the jury 5 full days more than 40 hours of deliberations. he lane maxwell guilty on 5 of the 6 charges she faced convicted of grooming young girls, her sexual abuse by her former boyfriend, jeffrey epstein. and even sometimes joining in the british socialite remained calm and whispered to her lawyer and drank a sip of water. as the verdicts were read out, outside court maxwell's friend, lee, saffron, a regular throughout the trial, and he left with our comment to chance to give a reaction to the verdict for the prosecution. the verdict was a welcome relief. the road to justice has been far too long, but today, justice has been done. i want to commend the bravery of the girls now grown women

who stepped out of the shadows into the courtroom. their courage and willingness to face their abuser, made today's result. and this case possible, the trial attracted enormous global attention, wealthy and influential. epstein and maxwell moved in elite circles counting the rich and famous even former presidents and britons, prince andrew, among their friends and associates. max was lawyers argue that she'd become a scapegoat for epstein crimes. he committed suicide while awaiting trial. in august 2019 defense lawyers attempted to poke holes in the testimony of the 4 main witnesses and even brought in memory experts to undermine their accounts. but to no avail, we firmly believe and go less innocent. obviously, we are very disappointed with the verdict. we have already started working on the appeal and we are confident that she will be vindicated. delaine maxwell turned 60

years old during these jury deliberations. the sentencing will be at a later date, but she's now facing up to 65 years in prison. gabriel's hondo al jazeera new york, the un security council has demanded accountability over the killing of 35 civilians, including children in me and mars chaos states. member countries are calling for an immediate cease fire. but fighting has escalated between the military and ethnic corin armed groups. thousands of refugees sheltering in neighboring thailand. tony chang reports now from the ty bought a ton of my salt trade resumes across the time. yet my border of the weeks, a bit of lighting in the area, long boats laden with goods bearing their loads to and fro the murray river that divides the 2 countries has been quiet for several days. the further inside men,

well, we do believe it at the end of it if we win. and it's clear the cease far that has held for a decade is now shattered. so we know we're clearly know that they make a very big offers into our have to take over our land, our territory like that on the tie side of the border. the state of high alert has been load. the time military are now considerably more relaxed after the fighting appears to have moved away. but they're still monitoring very closely watching any one who's going up to the border. but inside me, on my, an estimated 20000 people have been displaced by the fighting. they remain and make shift shelters with limited food and water. and despite the lull in the fighting, many don't feel it safe enough to go home. tony chang al jazeera on the time here my border still ahead on al jazeera. this is one of 3 nuclear plants that germany will close by the end of the year. germany will face out nuclear power by the end

found the but she social, glean maxwell guilty on 5 counts and sex trafficking, trial charges against the former associates of the american financier and convicted peter file jeffrey epstein include sex trafficking of underage girls, 6 year old maxwell could spend the rest of her life in prison and the un security council has demanded accountability over the killing of 35 civilians, including children in the, in laws chaos, states member countries, according for an immediate cease fire. but the fighting has escalated between the military and ethnic curren arm cuz her math has been on the visit to israel by the palestinian president of ass una l said has more for us from gaza in an urgent meeting held in because of the 2 by the policy infections, they didn't know their strong condemnation to the meeting held by a boss and janet and they said the meeting comes in this time when the policy and territories are witnessing or illusory situation. that worries the occupation and

it lights off the vicious attack carried out by settlers towards the policy, the residents, and also the fear attack all the israeli authorities on the policy and prisoners. and. and in a time where a wide range of supplement activities is being carried out in the territories of the west bank and the colleagues in the meeting of the palestinian authority president us, which is really wor, minister guns is a crime against the palestinian people. and the step to the revolution flared in the vessel bank and the motivation to do normalization occupations on has a palestinian authority to retreat from this position. they also strongly conduct the ongoing israeli palestinian security coordination stuff about gucci is secretary general of the palestinian national initiative. he was formerly the palestinian information minister. he says the meeting has widened divisions among

political factions in palestine. i think this missing step back brokenness managed for 3 reasons. the 1st season is that really sides insisted on discussing the economy issues and security issues. avoiding all possibilities of a political process that would lead to ending occupation and up our 3rd party students are subjected to and that means they are avoiding them initial 2nd, this meeting is happening. while there is a very large violence against the palestinian population and the framework of civil announcements by the head of this government ministers that is not played football is to the instate no use for political process. said this meeting is happening with the minister of a army and that means bringing down delivery of the relationship between the 2

sides. and it makes the relationship as if it's just that we can fire. i'm done you pipe and there is no equality in this process. finally, i think this meeting has increased the internal division most participating in groups have objected to this meeting, mainly because they see it as an israeli threat to bring palestinians into that trap, which is nothing but the limitation of the so called the essentially aiming at liquidating the palestinian germany is closing 3 more nuclear power plants as it aims to phase out the energy source entirely. by late next year, the decision was made after the fukushima nuclear accident in japan. a decade ago bought a step boston reports now from bavaria. it has been a controversial policy given nuclear energy as a big help in reducing carbon emissions. this is a farewell gift made by

a local priest, a calendar of the nuclear plant that became part of the community in the last 5 decades into it as our heart pleased to see such an advanced, well functioning and safe installation. close stone. but we have no choice but to accept the good having a nuclear plant in bavaria has not always been safe. in 1975, germany's 1st nuclear accident happened here to work as died. but rather than say, they never felt unsafe. the installation functions without problems, they could easily continue. they've invested so much money into other countries and produce and continue to build nuclear power plant. and we shut them down such a waste for decades, germany as you know, waiting for the anti nuclear protest, especially after the general explosion in 1986 in the den. sophia unions. radio active particles were found as far away as bavaria. and after the accident in fukushima in japan, in 2011,

the merkel government close 8 of its 17 nuclear plants immediately promising to shut down the rest by next year. closing down a nuclear plan does not just a matter of shutting down reactors and locking the gates, dismantling will take years. and then there's a problem of radioactive waste which could contaminate the area for thousands of years. and that's not a burden opponent say to put on future generations. but not everyone within the u agrees, frowns and the netherlands, even planning to build new nuclear plants, asking european union to include atomic power in the list of sustainable investments to make the transition to clean energy skin. for what we need to do is to find that the economy that allows us to pursue our industrial choices to be consistent with the objective of the card when ising, our economy. as a group of german scientists is calling on the government to reverse its incision, they say shopping, the nuclear plants will force the country to use more fossil fuels. germany,

definitely not plans because energy is such an environmentally benign energy source that can help you that can help you so much with the colonization in the future with providing stable source of energy. and therefore, it's the big mistake that germany is now sitting energy. while nuclear power is the largest source of energy in france in germany, it cancelled just 12 percent. to replace this, the new government has promised to speed up its production of wind and solar energy . the only way forward, according to me, on the roof with part of a government team finding the solution for nuclear waste. in the german law, we are required to identify a location for a nuclear depository that is expected to be safe for 1000000 years. that's a long time. it's a big challenge, and that is of course, one of the big concerns. if countries, as is now being discussed in europe,

choose to continue with nuclear energy or go into nuclear energy. what are we leaving behind for next generations to deal with? because we really haven't figured out what to do with this high level radioactive waste. germany has made up its mind, so it is for ever to nuclear power steadfast and al jazeera, good timing, b u. s. and russian presidents will speak on the phone on thursday. attention surrounding ukraine continue to escalate to the white house. national security council says let me put in, requested a call with the job. it comes ahead of us. russian talks in geneva next month, washington and the nato countries. i've expressed concerns about russia's military build up along the border with ukraine. di nuclear ization of the korean peninsula is one of us president jo biden's, foreign policy priorities. 2022 may see a pivot from the oval office on pressing global issues. and the growing threat from

china, alan fisher explains, ah, if the white house was a circus, joe biden would be plate spinner in chief. as he enters into his 2nd year in the oval office. good afternoon, he's got a lot to do with internationally and domestically. this is a world wide challenge and the consequences if one of the plates fall could be the effect of end of his presidency by the end of the year. top of the list of challenges like it was when he was sworn n as covert after, confidently claiming he was in his words kicking the viruses. but in july it came roaring back. and no oma crone has to be dealt with a lot, don't is unlikely. another economic shock isn't and with job numbers, not where they should be. and the cost of basic goods rising, president biden need some good news for american families. he delivered an infrastructure built his build back better bill is essentially dead. but he still

believes he can get parts of it through congress, increasing help to american families. but some washington watchers say he still has other campaign promises to deliver. democrats have been so badly out messaged in their messaging, so atrocious that are even with build back better, they're going to have a difficult time. they have lost the bad old messaging battle on inflation. and inflation is indeed hurting a lot of americans then brings midterm elections normally considered a referendum on those in the white house. i'm not recommending for every future president that they take a shall lacking, like very like i didn't last night. biden has an approval rating of under 50 percent. that could mean him losing the house, maybe even the senate. they tried getting anything done in washington with both houses, not in your control. what is happening. so he could turn to foreign policy to get winds before the 2024 presidential election. were those closest to one say he run

against the pictures of the frantic withdrawal from afghanistan on the biden white house. if the country again becomes a base for islamic militants, he'll be the button for the failures of his and other administrations. he wants a new nuclear deal with iran, there are talks, but the half the deliver america is worried about china's growing influence is expanded military, it's economic power. talks between the 2 leaders effectively went nowhere. ari and then there's russia with cyber attacks, increased activity on the u, came border. biden's white house seems to be waiting to respond to what comes next . i think he's already had some important foreign policy successes. i think that the united states has sent a strong signal to russia with european partners out of russia invaded ukraine, would pay major costs. and i think that's likely to continue to deter russia from invading ukraine, going forward as biting heads into the new year. he's hoping, delivering big domestic success will make americans feel better about where the

country is going. we can deliver real people, results that are going to affect our lives. but if they don't, they could decide they don't like the act. and it's time for the biden circus to move on. alan fisher. i'll just either washington belzoni has comments and analysis of course, via web sites the address as ever was era dot com. ah, exactly how past the hour that's update your top story. so you so far today, delta and army kron bearings of code 19 fueling. what the w h o corte quotes su nami, of cases sweeping across the globe. on average 900000 new infections have been reported every day around the world. frances reported, 208000 new infections, the highest ever recorded in europe, that 2 new infections every 2nd in the us cases have increased by 60 percent,

although hospitalizations and deaths do remain low. in other news, a jury has found the but she social i glean mag.
