least 6 people are killed as intense rain triggers, flash floods in a month, and i've thought of hire to it's full. it's also indicate how we believe that data . chris is kind of the same, it's all we can ah said in a large, far as broken out at south africa parlor and building in cape town. it said to have started in offices, the flames have now spread to the national assembly building and emergency services spokesman says cracks have been forming in the buildings wall. i have just the theory should under control. 2 for now, we will be continuing with the investigation as a cause of the fire, for now the way it is running, the one thing to fire chances of the national council of the fire just started in

the national assembly where we are on some business. you're saying that a very said you must get a hold of them. so let's get more in this from gillian wolf. he joins us on the line from cape town and gillian, what are you hearing on the ground? what's the latest? hi, nick. yes. so let me just switch it in your book because i spoke with her particular little she's in the 3rd public working for a mere hero cape town. and she told me that there's an investigation under way whereby they're speaking with the firefighting teens, the 1st responders, parliament security and police in order to determine what the cause of the fire actually was. because they, they're on aware of that at the moment. but. a managing the situation they've been able to can contain the fire in the chambers of the, the national council of provinces, but has spread to the national assembly chambers. and that's what they're busy doing right now is trying to get that under control. the fire ignited early this

morning and i'm being told that firefighters want to see with them for minute. there's about more than 30 of them and they're doing everything that they can to get the fire and the control. thankfully, no one has been injured and 1st responders have moved. everyone is far away from the parliament as possible until the fire is contained in the building itself, a significant part of the city. she gets to the bottom. the creatures are super important institutions of democracy in south africa, the national assembly, where the fire spread to is not kind of building here in south africa where the members of parliament needs and debate and they offer questions and ministers. and it's where the president often delivers the state of the nation address. it's also very significant as it where nelson mandela was elected as the 1st president of south africa, new democracy. so this is where he delivered his 1st address to the nation. and south africa has also been addressed by many other heads of state in that building,

including former president, us still us president bill clinton and, and other world leaders. so it's, it's a place where the nation watches the democracy on bold and democracy in action. and of course, it's monday to attract money to your from all over the world are joining we'll even have to, thanks for joining wolf. they're joining us from kicked off now the governments around the world grappling with how to control such cases of current of ours health, health system i should say. and australia's most popular state that is new south wales is being pushed to its limits. more than a 1000 people with the bars and being treated in hospital in england, secondary students will have to wear masks when schools reopen after the christmas break, a daily record of more than 162000 cases was recorded in the u. k. on saturday, largely driven by the con variance and in bangladesh,

a campaign has been launched to vaccinate $40000000.00 people each month. it's hoping to inoculate 70 percent of the population by april. we'll get more on the situation in bangladesh shortly. but 1st let's go to nothing baba in london so not even things getting pretty stretched in the u. k to say the least. absolutely, and of course as we keep hearing, it's largely due to this ami kroner varying which is really ripping through the population. and that's despite the ongoing and successful booster campaign that the health secretary such a job, it has been on the waves. in the last 2, i was hailing the success of that which saw 132000000 vaccinations last year and many more ongoing every day. around the country, it's not enough to stop a huge rise in cases we've seen on saturday, a report of 162000 new cases just in england. that's

a new daily record. $154.00 decks reported in the 24 hours to saturday. just in england, very high again. so lots of people are asking why, in these circumstances is it so hard to get a cover test? many people trying to get what they call lateral flow tests that you do at home. a quick result. it's very hard at the moment. there are shortages, the government under pressure over why you didn't have contingency planning. let me crohn 1st arrived. well, 1st, johnson has now said that to school pupils in secondary schools, when they return to school, after the holidays should wear masks in the classroom. that's in england, england was the only nation in the u. k. that didn't have that rolling before. they're saying it's temporary, but it's needed because of all micron. now there are 6 different unions teaching unions. education unions in the country saying the government needs to do more.

they want the government to. they've asked for things like filtration machines in cars. it's. they want to inspections to be delayed. now the government has come up with some measures. it's saying that it will offer 7000 air filter machines around the country. the labor opposition is pointing out that is around one in every 4 school receiving one. the unions of warning that the, the disruption, the possible staff shortages among teachers could actually hit exams. the government is also worried about supply chains in the economy. they have asked the public sector bosses to model or to get plans in place for shortages of, of between 10 and 25 percent of the workforce. just to give you an idea of how worried they are now to study study job. it is still saying that restrictions on

people's freedoms have to be a last resort, but his critics are asking, well, if that's the last resort, all you're doing all you can in other comes in other other contingency plans in other measures such as ventilation in schools and workplaces such as getting those tests to where people need them. so it's a debate that's ongoing, but what not in question is the on the kron is very, very much on the rise here in the u. k. all right, thanks. i will leave it there for the moment and that he was in london. well, let's get more on the situation in bangladesh. the vaccination drive there, his time v chandry in duck, fearful of the new on the conversion bank, those governance started major vaccination drive all across the country. it is targeting 40000000 people to be vaccinated by january. this year, and it also wants to vaccinate 80 percent of the population by june this year. they by day, good day by day people taking the vaccine has slowed down

a bit. now the government is undertaking a major campaign to encourage people to take their job on militia with the high. the government also started a booster program for senior citizen and the front line workers. it is also started vaccinating school children from the age of 12 to 17 years old, and us joshua dom or the wife. today i'm here with my wife and my mom who's 60, to get booster shots. i'm a physician. we've already had to and now we have to take a food dose and buy it again. looters buy leather so far received on 100000000 doses of vaccine through unicef under caution agreement between the asian development bang bang as gunman and unicef. it also received are the millions of those says through bilateral agreement, so far, only 29 percent of the population have been vaccinated. the challenge remains for government to get the vaccine from the manufacturers to the recipient, hands in the remote, rural areas of bangladesh. well,

karen of ours cases is surging across australia to the number of people in hospital in new south wales who climbed more than a 1000 for the 1st time. since the con variant emerge, a lack of rapid test is putting the whole system under extra pressure. so our clock has this report now increasing the q that p c r testing center is alone waiting times for processing. results can take days. rapid energy and tests or rats are nearly sold of those that are available a filling at high prices. every state in australia is now recording a growing number of cases with one and 5 people in yourself while testing positive at the moment does not p to be any song that is abiding. the numbers which are being reported in terms of positive cases. clearly under reporting of the number of actual cases at bit. now that means that a lot of people get infected very quickly. so hopefully that means we get through the community very quickly. but really, to some degree, that's not really the way you should be doing. it of the last way,

the number of cases being recorded has climb to more than 10000 a day across astrology or in the south wells are 5 times as many people being treated in hospitals compared to mid december plains that recorded its highest number of daily cases since the outbreak began, so won't be a surprise at all if in the next couple of days we see a significant increase in, in cases as more, more samples of tests that are more people come forward to that won't be a surprise. in the next few days, if we say i see a significant rise in cases with board is now open across all states except western australia. the spread of current of bars is rapid with different generations mixing over the new year holidays. this is about tempering managing the spread. it's not about trying to stop it and, and it's, it's, it's an awareness this. while when you altima favor, i'm probably would be exposed to, to kind of virus anyway. this is now spit out that process. so it is really just

trying to manage it, particularly while we're still rolling out the businesses to the people who are quite honorable. testing centers in some states were forced to close over the new year due to high temperatures. that combined with a lack of rapid energy tests across the street area, is putting the health system under even more pressure. the failure of this is actually breaking the pandemic worse and causing potentially the infection to be spread much more quickly at the my room. so we've got these gaps, we're just when we needed it, we don't have these rapid edge interests, which is directly contributing to the chaos, but also the potential for increased transmission of the bar. so the community chaos that's unlikely to be voted with the holiday season. still under way, sarah clark. audi 0. queensland, australia. new york and washington d. c. r. again, the epi centers of america is covered 90,

not great recording the highest number of daily infections to date. 2022 began with more than 45000 people in new york testing positive. nationally. there were 647000 cases. but health officials say the number of deaths is falling, even though cases have risen by 60 percent. in africa, uganda is reopening after one of the strict is locked downs in the world. schools will start up again to be closed for nearly 2 years, and a nighttime curfew is expected to be lifted. so again, because this 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, haggard, me and clothes will this long is a question that bond lies. nobody can ask even begun to self convert. it's been completely, there has been a huge increase in a child sex malaysia miller stations. ah. but see clearly it greg lucy's or across the country reported. i had the been huge cases, awful 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 a will stay way too long. lockton like we are scared of it in terms of the nozzles on them, but yet still morality, we're ready to live rules and doesn't look like it's about to go away. ugandans of suffered a lot in the past. we us rather than get you me nice. i'm quite of misdirecting 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, a plan also had on use are including marches held in iraq to remember customs to the money. the powerful radio general kill me or strain strike to you with food prices at the highest level. in nearly a decade. we look at how people in serbia struggling to make ends meet because we're coming up to the cold us outdoor game and h l. history, where the ice needed to be seated already. why does a

so the leader of molly's in trimball storage is calling for lectures to be delayed . the transitional government had agreed to hold the pulse next month following a military coup in 2029. once them held within 5 years. the west african regional block echo has imposed sanctions on official and it has promised more if molly's leaders do not produce a plan for a democratic transition. a molly is one of 3 african nations. the united states is brought from a duty free trade program. washington has accused ethiopia molly and guinea of human rights violations. the african growth and opportunity act allows countries to exports some products to the u. s. and avoid texas is urging the byte administration to reconsider its decision. well, south korea military says an, an identified person is crossed into north korea. it happened on the eastern side

of the highly fortified demilitarize and south korean officials have measured message to the north to ensure the person safety would say they haven't had any response. north korean troops kill the fisheries official last year saying he illegally cross the maritime border. tens of thousands of north koreans fled to the south to escape political repression and poverty. at least 6 people had been killed after heavy rains in amman, a strong winds and flooding began on thursday, and the storm is expected to continue until wednesday. it's from to morning, the people to stay away from dangerous areas where the percentage of harrington is the latest on the storm. what is the latest situation? well, you know, nick, we've got to remember. it was just about 3 months ago that tropical cyclone shaheen made by fall in northern oman, and that wrenched the area of moscow with about 2 years of worth of rain. and so here we go. again, we'll go in for a closer look right now. and these are some of the hall benz of rain that we're

setting up in and around moscow which just drench this area. so we saw in some spots pretty close to about a years worth of rain. but we need to remember that this happened within only a matter of a few hours. so the bottom line too much rain to fast here. and all of that to be said, we also need to remember this is a mountainous area, so that rain is falling high above its rushing rate down to the ground. and then also in the middle, we've got these waddy valleys, so those valleys fill up very quickly, the water is got nowhere to go and we have flash flooding. so let's talk about the risk where it is on sunday with these solid bands of rain as we track them out. i think we may see some more scenes of flooding as we look toward q wave eastern side of c, audi and into southern iran. now for southern need, ron, it's not just a threat on sunday. this will also linger into monday as well as the storm system chugs to the north and the east. let's peel out give you a wider look right now, because it's not only iran in the days to come southern pockets done in the line of

fire 1st the west, but look at this band of rain creeping closer into karachi. so we look at the 3 day forecasts for grouchy, about $10.00 to $20.00 millimeters of rain each day. so very rainy forecast. we also need to remember many of these areas just cannot hang on to all of this moisture. so that just leads to these widespread scenes of flash flooding. so nick, the risk spill out there for the next few days and i think we'll see more scenes of flooding across the middle east. right. jeff has a huge amount of rain about thanks very much. you're welcome is ready, forces have launched as strikes in gaza believes who have landed in empty fields and no casualties have been reported seen as a sheer force pulling the launch rockets along that of the coast of tel aviv. it's not clear, the rocket fire was intentional or test launch. egypt is mediating to diffuse a situation. allison in fractions in garza have been demanding the release of a prisoner on hunger strike. and as strike by the saudi led coalition has

mistakenly hits a camp of allied yeah, many pro government forces at least 12 soldiers were killed according to military spokesmen. the strike took place in the province of shotwell on thursday. the coalition did not immediately comment. yemen has been torn by civil war since 2014, when who the rebels who controlled much of the north took over the capital. sana protests had been held in cities across, arrived among the 2 years since the assassination of senior radian general got some sort of money. it was killed in the us, drones drank, and baghdad, along with the leader of the radian back to popular mobilize ation forces. president donald trump ordered, see the moneys killing, saying he was planning an imminent attack on us interests. more protests are planned for later on sunday. mood after we had has more now from baghdad. thousands of iraqis got out of here, nearby dodged green soon to monica. the 2nd anniversary of the killing of iranian

commander hossam slay manny and obama. 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 there hasn't been transparency in the investigations. 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 that have been leaders of the political parties, pro iran, political parties 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 us 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 2020, stipulating that all foreign troops should leave the country. and they say that they will continue protesting until the government in response to their demands. knob and global food prices are at the highest levels in a decade. many people and are struggling to make ends meet in serbia, rising fuel and power prices and making matters even worse or bud manly. as this report. this new year, many in belgrade, a choosing carefully, well, they personnel, food basket. and that because prices have food, vegetables alone around 20 percent on

a year ago. and before the we have to predict prices to get to the end of the month, to go through the month without any did. what was the most of the we don't eat what we want, but what we have here will you always pay from that? i managed to put it together somehow to pay for utilities to pay for electricity to make ends meet the mini probably fail. awesome logan, that was payable. you. according to the un global food prices rose by 30 percent in the past year, hitting the highest level in almost a decade. that's because harvest had been hit hard in major exporting countries, including russia, the us and canada. and that's partly due to bad weather disruptions to supplies. to dakota, 19 fact enclosures and high energy costs are also to blame in serbia prices room for 7.5 percent. but food with more than double that

oil from fat rose by 22.5 percent vegetables more than 20 fruits, nearly 17 percent and meet by 14. and that's all start and it seems to me that this wave will continue. it will not stop at the end of this year. on the contrary, i think we will have a new wave of price increases and there are several reasons for that. the 1st is that all excise products will increase in january. there will also be an energy crisis and this madness with the prices of gas electricity. so on, on the in november, the government kept food prices of sugar, oil, flour, pork and luke. but that will expire at the end of january. of you know, objectively this freezing of the prices of these foods didn't have any effect on stabilizing prices. it had a psychological impact on consumers and gave the impression that the government is protecting the standard of living. many yes,

they price wise as exceed minimum wage increases and not putting pressure. many people to put food on the table lower than the man the are 0. i said that here and algebra, irish becomes he used 24th official tongue with campaign is saying it will help boost minority languages on the thread elsewhere. recovering mexico's last treasures ancient artifacts are heading home centuries after them and it's for the n b a champions. continue that winning street site to the c p. ah, how do you there hope your weekends go? and while we've been talking about this exceptional warmth being blasted in across europe over the last few days, and now we've got the proof for it. so we had an old record new year's day across

the united kingdom. southwest france 15.6 degrees. this is a record that stood for a 105 years and just like that, it's now been changed. it's now 16.3 that was set by london at st. james park. ok, here's what's going on. sunday. we've got some more rain falling across ireland in britain, western france right through the low countries. pretty much this northwestern section. some heavier pockets around denmark, pushing into poland as well. but look some hints that things are about to change this wind fresh air coming down from the north and eventually it will went out. so we look at the 3 day forecast in london, just a high of 6 degrees on wednesday, below average. but hey, at least we've got the sunshine, higher temperatures toward the south, still some twenty's valencia at 20 degrees, getting clip with some showers toward the southwest of spain and across the balkans . temperature is above average. here we're starting the day with a bit of fog, but that will eventually dissipate, and some driving rain for turkey's northeastern black sea region impacting tribes on and we'll end this one off in africa where we've also got high temperatures and

marrakech, while above average, with a height of 25. ah, the celebration with al jazeera was kate websites into the diverse culture, with in buckingham and nice to get to your wedding monday. announce is in ah, ah

doubled since christmas. the leader of molly's into maternity is calling for election next month to be delayed. the transitional governments had agreed to hold the poles in february for the military, q and 20. 20 not want some help within 5 years and had to pay that story on fidelis and bob has more from boucher last thursday. there was the end of the national dialogue had recommended that elections, that's presidential and legislative elections will be held between 6 months and 5 years. but then the countries, the foreign minister, had a meeting with the leader of the vehicle was a block, which is the regional block, the that the president of gonna after the meeting, it broadcast on national tv. where the foreign minister now said that, that the expect to hold elections in 5 years. because in previous times they had up

to me complained about the lack of logistics. and also the fact that they take countries to go and true serious violence because to be continued attacks by an groups, especially in the central and northern region of the country. so they're now saying that the ad, because they only do that after 5 a 5 years so that you'll be able to hold elections because it will. the national dialogue that was had last week had been a boycotted by the position. who said that whatever it was being fed was just a waste of time, and that they don't see elections happening so well, let's get more in this with of a way of where, who his geopolitical and security, unless it every political and africa security think tank company joins is from a boucher via skype. welcome to the program and the way. what's your understanding just just to clarify, the elections will be held in 5 years time or within 5 years. well

i think if we would have our we look, look at it is to the 5, the 5 is going to be for in 5 years. i think it's just, it should be chinese and government has a very different definition of transition incentives that we know government maybe one month, one to 2 years where we see a provide electron. but when this comes done, i think one of the major argument that the government in molly is making is ongoing, visual or stability to see the care in the country. and that's why they want it a longer period for the transition. but i think of course, the political do political considerations that would make them be this confident to see that the have the capacity to remain on the power to note tier to continue direction that they weren't. right. but that's not a transitional government that is sitting government doesn't if,

if it's empowered for 5 years, 5 more years. yeah, exactly, because i mean no more than what i think 10 to dismiss visual it tell me about for you so that the moon generally before it now we're looking at 5 years out to the one year one year be not him of our is what we're looking at about 6 years, so this is by no means go government government. that really was to transition like if it, in the orthodox we know try to be i think this is, this is the government that has a very different view of what model should be. how much should be governed, and the world to be the one to, to get you to all on, on that vision. so it remains to be seen if they'll be able to pull both the political cloud within, within my lead international support to, to balance the sides of has now come into that is against the government also

within the region as well. to be able to have some form of approval without overt covertly to, to guide this 5 year plan. that really right. you have to, you could well read it that the government simply does not want to transition and just wants to remain in pub, in your view. what needs to happen to create a situation whereby a transition can safely take place and, and how long could it take if it's not 5 years? well i think it's going to be very difficult because right now the government market is too large extent is step ahead of every everyone. you just have to look at how they've able to change you guys on the, on the ground in a very incremental base. teddy basis, so 1st of all, it was cool and then there was the in entering government and then to look at the new moved into government came back to office despite all of the pressure within

some possible within the region. some, some constraints in the country, and of course, a very overt pressure from the international community this to be able to maintain it, hold on to power and keep some form of stomach directly to political stability. and then if you look out some of the things that happened. so for instance, you seen we saw in the lead up to the coolness of protest calling for reduce french influence in money for instance. and then just recently we saw the friend community, honda, you know, there was a friend, wrote down with the hand of the be different busy in book to it, counting money back to you know, to the, to the my learn ministering. so of course you, if you ask me greater, for instance, you have, you have capacity to delete to deliver on that front when there is some quote in the country to reduce french influence, you can develop that. and then secondly,

you been able to secure, very strong international banking, for instance, from, from russia who is, of course, in a key player, not in my space, to able to balance french in when the machine is off for miley. then you feel very confident will we then look within the quick country, an international link. ok, so bit to push. i'm with the agenda, so that's what we're seeing. so if it's on this i was going to take listen, molly, i think it's through a large extent now is going to be dependent on what often, what that defines as the transition on know what it's an. all right, so we define the transition period. ok, we just running out of time says just one more thing i want to ask about, which is that whatever, as we reported earlier, the mom is one of 3 african nations at the u. s. is blocked from a duty free trade program. the aga trade program and what do you make of that and, and what kind of impact is that likely to have? i think i think it very, very little in part we saw by and this is all come up with that. sanction again,

guinea and molly, just the leader in the lead up to the democracy. so. but the thing on my lease exports to, to the end of it is an antique to export this vote up to point to 1000000 de la bus is very small, is dropping the bucket on the government, the money nobody, nobody will be kicked up because the trade value is just not relevant and i think the buy doesn't doing that justice because it has to because by the i need the mockery promotion it keep out of his foreign policy. but you need to be, i get a different it to be a, have a much, you know, export to the u. s. for about $572000000.00. next button coffee. and these are brand new rules that coffee, coffee brands, tea by the brand, and also moving on to it. so do the export really valuable to determine government?

but even in utopia, dusty did not present to pursue the strategy. do we do when he wanted to? so i think the u. s. a probably ought to come up with a very different approach to africa. government if it wants to realize that, you know, it's a, i'm vision to quote unquote strengthen democracy in the content because it just be not effective at all. all right, i think we're good. we appreciate your expertise. thanks very much for joining her on out 0. yeah, thanks for having me. the ashes of archbishop desmond to to be lay to rest in a cathedral in cape town, followed saturday's simple and solemn state funeral from south africa's needing campaign against racial justice. the archbishop died a week ago was praise for being a global champion. if human rights from a miller post from cape town, the to people around the world, archbishop desmond tutu, was
