he was simply a husband, father and grandfather. many of the messages we received have said, thank you for sharing him with the world. well, it actually is a 2 way street because we shared him with the world. you shared part of the love you held for him with us. and so we are thankful among the speakers at saint george's cathedral, michael newton, who served as tu tuesday pretty for many years for the chief mamma, my dear america, many times i did it for the owner. he cried easily and in the life of our country, both post and prison. he had my about the service for many was deeply personal.

much of the proceedings down, according to archbishop to his last wishes. a plain pined coffin adorned with the symbols of the church. while the eucharist server sent it around to tis anglican beliefs and spiritual leadership, his activism against global oppression, and as the leading bois against apartheid laws in south africa was to the full, ah, bishop doesn't want to do too much without question a crusade in the struggle for freedom, for justice, for quality and for peace. not only in south africa, the country of his best around the world as well. 0 $1.00 at times shalom the service also celebrated the archbishop to his favorite hymns and scriptures. his last moments at saint george's cathedral, marked by

a final blessing. archbishop desmond tutu was loved by many, but coven 19 restrictions limited. how they would have liked to pay the final respects. instead, they participated in services of small parishes across the country. ah gee, and bishops form a guard of honor as a final, goodbye to a remarkable man, simply known as the arch. his ashes to be late to interred at the church. he called home. for me, the miller algebra kept me more than a 1000 people are hospitalized with coven 19 in australia's most populous states, the highest number since october, just over 18000 people tested positive in new south wales, down for more than 22000 on saturday. and the warnings of states hospital system could reach a critical phase of the health minister has signed

a public health board or reducing isolation rules. the stuff allows them to be ordered back to work. so o'clock joins me now from new set in queensland. hi sarah . i mean, what's the latest in terms of those case numbers was they had another day of big numbers around the country. well, which you mentioned earlier. it's the biggest size in australia. i 100270. that's the case than to did. and of course, and you also mentioned that number of people who left top 1000, that's the highest number of hospitalization numbers since october, victoria, which is the 2nd 2nd largest dice. it also recorded plot big numbers in the 172 new cases and traded the decrease in dallas twice since christmas. having said that, the testing numbers have also coincided with that drop. we had most testing centered across victoria shut. yes, please use the high temperatures. we have a strain heat degree and also in the case where we had some testing centers close

and therefore it was a drop in nissan numbers. in the previous days, we've had 20 to 23000 cases where i'm in queens that we've had the highest number of daily tysons time, 3587. and i should know that that is because there's so many people traveling across the board a dining in the last few weeks where equations that is bordered to trouble. so we've seen hundreds of thousands of people across the borders. busy to come here, we expect to see that number here in claims and to continue to arrive. as a result. and on a side note, the israeli prime minister was potentially exposed to i positive case. last wednesday. he said at the moment monitoring you symptoms, but there was a press conference held at his claims and to billy as a result that have now concerned one of those people attending that press conference has tested positive. so, you know, just saying the numbers are rising day in day out, the prime minister, you know,

potentially how could it be an expose? what one does really, how the government is dealing with this, not just on a regional level, but on a national level. what some of the medical authorities here saying we are at a crisis because we've got a number of problems, mistakes and issues that are compounding the problem and the already kind of suffocating health system is struggling to pressure with these broadening number of cases. you've got very black to these records and tests they've been sold out across the country and therefore it's difficult to tell those people who are filling the symptoms. and as a result, they're concerned that there was a number of hidden cases within the community. national cabinets or the last few days, a great to change the rules for testing and the oscillation requirements. so the definition of close contact find as a result, restrictions or anything. and within the number of people, the positive cases ride over the very busy holiday period. 7 o'clock floors in nice,

australia. thank you. you gander is reopening after one of the strict is locked downs in the world. schools will start again after being closed for maybe 2 years, and the nighttime curfew will be lifted between gate and be reports. the end of the look down means children in uganda will once again get to experience one of the most important parts of their lives. education schools, there have been closed since march 2020. shortly after the 1st case of coven 19 was confirmed on the african continent. some classes reopened in february last year, but shut down again 4 months later as the country faced a surgeon infections. analysts say the last 2 years have had a devastating effect on children and young people wise girls had you're me and closed will this long is a question that bond lives. nobody can ask even begun to self convert. it's been completely, there has been a huge increase in a child exploits molestations. ah, but ziegler leads in

a greg lucy's or across the country reported i had the been she had cases also child marriages, balls, disclose, and cinemas are also due to open up in the coming weeks. much to the relief of people who work in the countries entertainment industry. we're still way too long to like we're scared of. it's been tons of the measures a little but. busy yeah, absolutely, we're ready to live with. doesn't look like it's about to go away. ugandans. i've suffered a lot in the pastry us. rather than get ye me nice. i'm quite of misty but we will stay open. you gander, impose some of the most strict and lengthy rules in the world to contain the virus . since the pandemic began, it's reported a 137000 cases of corona virus, and more than 3000 deaths. the president says a high vaccination rate means it's now safe for the country to reopen. but during his public address, he added that some measures could be reinstated,

if cases rise steadily. victoria gate, and be al jazeera, new york, and washington d. c, oregon. the centers of america's cove at 19 outbreak, recording the highest number of daily infections to date. got it in time square to welcome. in the new year 2022 began with more than 45000 people testing positive for the virus in new york alone nationally. the number 647500 has more from the american capital. every country had trouble celebrating new years this year, but it was especially muted here in the us. new york was the biggest of all the celebrations usually. but this year, 15000 people came. they all had to be masked and vaccinated, but that's a fraction of the 1000000 who usually attend that celebration in new york city. also, there is a testing problem in the united states. so many people have either contract it omicron or have been concerned that they have that they've been flooding testing

centers, president biden, his says vance has said, that's a problem that he will fix. he has made it 500000000 free home tests available. but that still has not quite solved the problem. meanwhile, industries are being hit. the airlines, especially on saturday, globally, 4000 flights were cancelled 2500. those were in the u. s. and nearly half of those were in chicago. that was partly due to a major snowstorm that hit the midwest, but it was also due to the fact that airlines are having staffing problems. they can't staff as many plains as they usually would because many of their crew members have refused to accept overtime over the christmas holiday rush. also, colleges are beginning classes for the 1st time, for many of them in a couple of years, online rather than in person. so the beginning of 2022 here in the u. s. is starting to look a lot like the beginning of 2021. now france reported more than 200000 positive

cases for a full day in a row. it's the 6th country to report more than 10000000 cove at 19 infections. and the pandemic began some of the biggest cities like paris, and we'll have reinstated face masks for indoors and outdoors. island is the latest country to cut the isolation period for people who test positive caves 19 to 7 days. instead of 10 spain. portugal agrees the whole to reduce their isolation periods to a week. well, still had here on out there at least 12 pills in the killed and some pete of hindu shrine and indian administered me and recovering mexico's last treasures how the government is bringing ancient artifacts. home, centuries after they were stolen. ah, ah,

look forward to burritos guys. with sponsored play cut on airways. now this is a beautiful looking satellite picture in that it gives information of cold air across warm waters. there's all shower clouds, but that was a few hours ago and the wind is stopped nurse this over here. so he's not going to different development. and by the end of sunday, i think we'll have snow warnings out again. for the high grant honshu possibly further north otherwise and to the west template about where they should be from this part of northern china. the sun is out in the skies quite warm in the middle, several degrees above average. and that includes hong kong that won't change overly quickly. the stair, they will keep piling up least in northern han ship. tommy get to the end monday with the ne monsoon, the concentration of heavy rain now. and actually fairly recently has been rank call lumper and singapore, and that continues of pace, which is no surprise. that's what the season suggests. the rain that was heavy ranch and i has disappeared for now i might get a few more showers in this plenty more than an inch slang. but the rest of india's

quiet just coming in through iran, significant range, bring snow through eventually to northern pakistan. the as to still in new delhi, which means the quality is particularly poor, but pretty heavy rain recently around the gulf states, there will be a bit more on sunday, but a heads across tools. iraq. oh, the weather sponsored by casara ways, african stories from african perspective, most of the day never bought one that has nothing to go machine because of the voice of machine happy. in an, in his short documentary spite african, the film make is from kenya. he writes one more time to do something, darky, suppression and ivory coast colors. i live here and scrap yard animal africa direct on al jazeera. ah,

the me book about kill watching out there with me. the whole rom, the reminder of all top stories. archbishop desmond tutu has been described as a crusader, the struggle, freedom, justice, equality and peace. at his funeral, the anti apartheid hero died last sunday. the age of more than 1000 people are hospitalized with cave. at 19, australia's most popular states, the highest number since october. there are warnings the health system in nissan. wealth could come under severe pressure. and you can do is up to one of the strictest lockdown. the world schools will begin again to be closed. but any 2 years, not time curfew will also be lifted on january the 10th. well,

let's look at some more of the life of our bishop desmond to to at his funeral. he was remembered as a crusade of a freedom, but his fight for justice was not limited to his home country. he lent his voice to resistance movements elsewhere, notably the palestinian territories. 10 years ago, the late broadcast, as david frost, interviewed archbishop to 2 of the al jazeera and asked him what he'd love during his visit to the middle east. you said that once you saw in israel, something that was quite attend, the situation is have africa before freedom came to the black people, south africa where in many instances was it's during quite a distressing for one thing. you didn't have a war, a war and crude show very seriously on the territory of other people. i mean, israeli politicians at

a way that they can get away with almost anything. because the west is getting t, it feels guilty. it feels guilty about what they didn't do in when the holocaust happened and they, they, they've given a cut off cut lunch. now, if they are penitent, they ought to be the ones who pay the price of the penitence, but the price is being braid by the palestinians. part of my own consent for what is happening. there is in fact, not what is happening to the palestinians, but it is what the israelis agreeing to themselves. they are not aware that when you carry out dehumanizing policies, whether you like it or not,

quite inexhaustible. those policies be human eyes. the perpetrator i'll be up in a man is a co founder of the electronic intifada. earlier, he told me that the late bishop's advocacy for the palestinian people was brave and influential. desmond tutu saw the clear parallels as we heard between apartheid in south africa an apartheid today in palestine. and he has the same message. he was one of the tiny handful of people of his stature, who is willing to say, as we boy called to the pockets, south africa, we must boycott apartheid israel. he was very clear about that. he said that being neutral between those, the oppressor and the oppressed means in effect, siding with the oppressor. there is no neutrality when it comes to issues of justice. either you stand with the oppressed, you take action on their behalf or you're guilty of complicity with the oppression

. that's what desmond tutors message was and he was absolutely consistent about it . he was among the very 1st international leaders to endorse the palestinian boycott divestment his sanctions movement. and he was at the time very isolated for doing so. there weren't many people willing to do that now. and i think largely due to his willingness to speak out support for boycotting apartheid israel is very widespread. and i think we should say one other thing. if i may, he has been praised in eulogies by world leaders who us, you know, say what a wonderful moral leader. he was, but who refuse to follow the moral lessons that he teaches? and we need to call out that hypocrisy the people who sell weapons to israel to

kill palestinians should not be eulogy ising desmond too, too. they should keep that his name out of their mouth, so to speak. israeli forces of laws relatively as strikes at garza after rocket earlier in the day that i believe to have landed in empty fields and no casualties have been reported. it seems to show force following the launch of rockets that landed on the coast of television. it's not clear if the rocket fi with intentional or a test launch, egypt is mediating to try to diffuse the situation. thousands of people of also motion cities across iraq to moth any 2 years since the assassination of charles top general ga, seemed to le mani. he was killed in a u. s. drones drank along with the leader of the iranian back. popular mobilization forces. net back. that's apple ceremonies, killing was ordered by the vent u. s. president donald trump unjustified as necessary to stop what was called an imminent attack by mood under what had sent this report from backed out thousands

of iraqis got out of here, nearby dodge green soon to monica. the 2nd anniversary of the killing of iranian commander hudson. slay manny, an elbow. my dim hunt is a tub commander of iraq soon popular mobilization forces 2 years ago by an american john attack. and they say that they are demanding get clarity in the investigation . they say that that hasn't been transparency in the investigation. meanwhile, the demand immediate withdrawal of all u. s. troops and iraq. they say that any u. s. military presence in the country will be resistance. there have been leaders of the political protest pro iran political party that they spoke here today, threatening to take matters into their own hands. they say they will take up arms

again and resist the military presence of the s troops in iraq. thousands of come from other iraqi a province is to join the protest here. they're blaming the government for to what they consider collaborating with the us a troops. they say that the government should implement the resolution passed by the parliament in january at 2020 to p. i think that all foreign troops should leave the country and they say that they will continue protesting until the government in response to their demands, at least while people are being killed in a stampede at a religious shrine. an indian administered kashmir, thousands of people gathered at the site to mark the 1st day of the new year,

alexia bron reports ah, in the cold darkness of the early morning, tens of thousands of devoted tracked to the hilltop temple of motivational davy and indian administered kashmir at about 3 a year there was a surge in the crowd. witnesses describe the horrifying crash, and people trampling over bodies. residue. it's a tragedy. many people are dead. ah, initial reports suggest an altercation between groups visiting the shrine. perhaps to offer spatial praise for the new year. but security has also been called into question. the police were very irresponsible. they did not put up devices in the area or outside the cave. they mixed also those coming out of the shrine in those going in a saw it with my own eyes. police pushed the pilgrims and also way fashions and blue whistles to intimidate them, which spread panic. and there was a stem paid in. no time matter,

vice no davy shrine is one of india's most revered hindu sites. before the pandemic about a $100000.00 devotees would climb the steep winding track every day to the narrow cave containing the shrine. authorities had kept the daily number 25000, but witnesses suggest many more people with f going okay. corner somewhere there was mismanagement. when we knew that there was this type of rush, we should have stopped the public 1st. if we had stopped them earlier, this tragedy would not have happened and an investigations underway into a spark. the crush of the injured and families of victims had been offered compensation daily stampedes. a fairly common during indian religious festivals as large crowds gather in small areas. often with few safety, your crowd control measures my god by baby. but he said, when expressing my condolences to the families who have lost their dear ones,

and the said incident of the same page, my sympathies to those who are injured, wanted access to the shrine, was halted for several hours, but later, resumed alexia brian al jazeera, at least 6 people have been killed after a tropical cycling sand into among strong winds and flooding the gun on thursday. and the storm is expected to continue until wednesday. it's prompted warnings, the people to stay away from dangerous areas. a new law has now come into effect in france, funding plastic packaging on most fruits and vegetables at monro, macro has called the move a revolution showing that the country is committed to phasing out single use. plastics, by 2040 larger packs and chopped or process fruits will be exempt from the band. and elizabeth, it is a french gymnast invites, as she says, there's been mixed reaction to the new law. it's a friendly because on the one hand, the french, very much aware of the need to reduce plastic use. those brought support to the

general use sort of not using so much plastic and they complain about this at the same time. ah, the ones you buy the vegetables yourself, you realize that nothing has been calculated to find new ways of wrapping vegetables. that doesn't sort of make them decompose too fast. in the case of that, i'll give an example that i've been through myself during your shop. i often buy and when to on and dice, which i will love french went to the table and they were wrapped on little plastic tray and wrapped in sort of thing. and now the plastic trade has been replaced in both of the, the, the, the cut off of the rule by a cobbled one and you put those in the fridge and the, the, the, the end of the moist, i'm soon the called bolt sort of melted them and the whole thing is completely rotten. so then now i buy ziploc bags, which are made of plastic to put them because otherwise i cannot keep than more than a day in my fridge. and the, the senator is very much aware of that,

and they say they're all things that people will not touch because they can't keep them the same way. and the, you know, when, as long as it's something like bananas, nobody cares, something that you have to appeal, nobody cares. there's one implication. the other thing is that this comes right at the time of covenant. and quite frankly, people were just happy not to have lots of people pulling than that. it was, i'm trying them in spelling them and then, and then buying on, not buying them. so it's, it's, you know, people do not exactly how to take it as plus and minus on this mexican to puzzle being a treasure trove for archaeologists, with its wealth of ancient cities, tombs and artifacts. but many of the countries pieces have been whisked away and scattered across the world. now the mexican government is trying to get them back. john holman, explains lost treasures returned home after being recovered from abroad. that

being shown often a new exhibition cooled, the greatness of mexico. some of the pieces are on display for the 1st time. this 1200, you're a woo. relief came home from los angeles. these co hatchets, which we use is money in southwest mexico, 500 years ago. also returned from the u. s. over the last decade, the mit can governments mounted a big push to bring home the country's historical objects. more than 10000 have been recovered. christina talks to us from germany after voluntarily returning 27 figurines, that have been with her for decades now miss yesterday. but again, this is my, i don't feel sad because if i die tomorrow, my children won't have this problem and they will end up in a rubbish down, which is my biggest fear. the daughter on the quote to feels the same sample has promised comments you. okay, so the last were convinced that all the artifacts from every country should be given back to them. not just mexico for more than

a 100 years they've been stolen. these are the pieces christine inherited from her husband, who got them as a gift from a mexican student many years ago. many the recovered treasures had a circuitous route to broad. it's tough to get them back using litigation. instead, the mexican government relied on diplomacy good will. we've been very successful in receiving voluntary returns of these pieces because people really want those pieces to go back to their um, oregon's mexico has long been a paradise for archaeologists. and collectors with temples tombs, jewels and ceremonial objects to be found and sometimes wished away in if the momentum than the ratcliffe window. may he cool? mexico was growing and a lot of people were looking at it from the 1940 to the 1970 s later. then with a lot of 1972, our institute, her or tools to fight the pillaging. and it went down. ah, now the river vaught,

fax, flowing out the country, seems to be reversed. what the exhibitions literature says is that when a countries are to fight for lost, erodes part, the nation's memory. and thus, why the big hunt to find that these are like little bits of mexico's memory that are scattered around the globe. the return of some of them is celebrated by this display, which marks 200 years since met. sco gained independence from spain. john holman, out, is it a mexico city? ah, he was able to 0 with me said rama, reminder of our top stories. archbishop desmond tutu has been described as a crusader, him the struggle for freedom, justice, equality and peace. during his funeral service in cape town, the anti apartheid hero died last sunday. the age of 90. more than 1000 people in are hospitalized with cave in 19 nostrils.
