. india has begun a vaccination drive for teenagers and inoculated nearly 4000000 angle between 15 and 18. on monday alone in the us, some experts are recommending people with double masks or surgical ones to stop the spread of the highly infectious ami kron very. and we'll have more on that story shortly. but 1st, let's have to london worry challenge reports on how the british prime minister is taking a gamble with a more relaxed approach to coven restrictions being told by the government, that this is a situation that the government hopes is not going to last longer than is absolutely necessary, but what secondary school pupils are going to have to do when they enter schools again tomorrow for the 1st time since the, the christmas holidays is 1st of all, take a covert test, a lateral flow test. every secondary school in the u. k. is going to be having to

do that, but also they are going to have to wear mosques for an undisclosed period of time while they're at school. it's basically the one change that the government has made to the rules and regulations in england over the holiday period. burress johnson has just come out and said that the mixture of meshes that the, that england has in place, ah, the right ones. and the government is going to be sticking with them. essentially, he took a gamble just before christmas and then again, just before new year, not to heights in the restriction is not to make them more and more severe. england is in a kind of system of measures called plan b, which doesn't really amount to much more than wearing mosque on public transport and in shops and also working from home when you can. other parts of the u. k. have gone much further than that, but england with pers, johnson in charge chose

a different path and it's a gamble that you have to say was risky. one. dr. krishna, who day of coma is the director of the global health innovations. and he says, army crime is likely to cause arise in a hospital admissions and could overwhelm many health centers. omicron has probably been around since mid october or so, and is now likely the dominant strain in almost every country around the world. we now have pretty good data from not just south africa, but also parts of europe and in the u. s. and what we are seeing pretty consistently is that it has a much higher rate of transmit ability. there does seem to be a trend that it causes less severe disease, but that's not born out fully. but we do know that with then level of rises that we're seeing in cases. it's much more likely that even with a small percent of people becoming ill,

we're going to overwhelm many health systems around the world. if we don't take more aggressive measures, my own to kids went back to school today. and i think it is important to make sure that we can safely keep kids learning in person in school, if at all possible terms of making sure that everybody tests, if they have access to tests before going back to school is very important. making sure that everybody in that school masks as much as possible and to increase the rates the vaccinations to make sure all of the adults in those school settings are vaccinated. and as many children that are now eligible in their local setting, also get vaccinated as soon as possible. the us is expanding its booster program as it faces the army. kron surge, including extra 5 shots for children as young as 12. if the vaccination had already been recommended for everyone age 16 and over on monday, federal regulators decided boosters now warranted for 12 to 15 year olds. the food and drug administration also says everyone eligible for 5 to can get one as early

as 5 months after their last dose rather than 6 to india now, which is starting campaign to vaccinate 15 to 18 year olds. the drive comes as ami cronin fictions arising. several regions have introduced restrictions and not time curfew has been imposed in new jelly schools and public places there. and in other states have closed happening middle has more from vaccinations into in the capital . and with that, another teenager has gotten their job where the vaccination center in new delhi, which is dedicated to inoculating teenagers between 315 to 18 year old. that is, that started getting that today. it's a huge bracket of population of about 70000000, a big expansion for in just vaccination drive, and a big relief for parents and students who have had a particularly tough sunday schools in india have been the 1st shot. and last to

years old and older are not allowed to leave their home except for outdoor exercise or to go out and buy essential goods and access essential services. now, there are discussions among local authorities about also restricting the movement of unvaccinated individuals. what was here right now is that businesses are allowed to operate, bought at the limited capacity. so for example, restaurants are only allowed to accept customers at 30 percent, they're indoors capacity, and at 50 percent, their outdoor capacity. businesses have only started to recover after the government's east restrictions back in november. it is of course, a huge blow to to the business because for a monday it is usually a full house at lunch. and this is only the 1st day of

alert devil 3 and we already have mp tables for lunch. now over the weekend health department officials also announced the detection of more recent cases, a number of which were local cases, which means that these patients had no prior travel history. and they said that this means that there is high probability of local transmission that felt secretary francisco. lucas said that it is safe to assume that this new virus barrier is already circulating in local communities. encourage people to stay at home as much as possible and get back to needed. the philippines vaccination rate remains below 50 percent passengers on a cruise ship in portugal have this embarked after being stuck on board for days following, and coven 19 out bank. the gym and cruise operate a cancelled its voyage after $52.00 cases were confirmed among the crew. on wednesday, another 12 people have tested positive sins,

the, you a flag car, cargo ship the carrying weaponry arm of vehicles, and also marian boats. but, but we couldn't confirm such pictures that had been revealed by the how the spokesperson also the, the, the other side of the quality and saying that it was carrying medicines or other civilian stuff. the situation is really developing rapidly. the whole, these, during his, the pressure giving you the pressure explained about the operation, how, how they have conducted this operation of the because of her data, where the have monitor kept to this ship according to the statement of the how these spokesperson. he says that the have kept monitoring this ship for 4 weeks according to her to, to him, and also the, the, the, the, the,

a kick used it all for carrying out to style activities. in the long, the, the red sea and a top kashmiri rebel fighter has been killed in a gun fight with security forces in india administered. catch me, police say sell him a was the commander of the pakistani based lash. could e, 20 by group catch me is claimed by both india and pakistan. the 8th round of talks on the iran nuclear deal resuming on monday in vienna. the aim is to revive the 2015 agreement with world powers. iranian foreign ministry spokesman says western nations have realized that they must back down to maximal demands till set. jabari has been following developments from vienna. this week could be one of the most important weeks. and that is because the talks until now, i've been dealing about what the talks will re about. they were talking about the agenda. now there seems to be a agreement of some kind about what they're going to discuss. there are still hurdles and there have been solutions before us for all sides. mainly the americans

in the rainiest were at the heart of this dispute about how they can proceed and overcome those hurdles this week we're expecting to find out whether or not that can actually happen. the iranians have said that they want the u. s. sanction lifted since the americans left the deal in 2018 and impose a series of strict sanctions on her aunt oil and banking sectors. the rate of the americans for their part have said that the ranges have to go back into full compliance since 2019. they started reducing their commitments to the nuclear deal and further advanced their nuclear program. there seems to be incentive from all sites to decide whether or not this deal can be salvage. this week, the coming talks will be the most serious, since the negotiations began in april of last year. and that is because a dispute mechanism was triggered by the european signatories to the deal that is germany, france, and you pay in january of 2020. so this has been going on for a very long time. it seems it's now this week that we'll decide whether or not the

parties involved will be able to come to some kind of an agreement about whether or not they can revive dis 2015 nuclear deal. may mall china, russia, b, u. s. france, and the u. k. of pledge to ensure a nuclear war is never fought. the 5 in nuclear armed countries released a joint statement, vowing to prevent the further spread of atomic weapons. the country say it's a wall that can not be won and should never be fought for more on the store. let's bring in hillary man, leverett, she's the ceo of strategy, a political risk consultancy firm, and also a former white house and national security official. thank you. for joining us on the news, our hillary, 1st of all, tell us the significance of this agreement. and what does that mean in a practical sense? well, the significance of the agreement comes in the context of dramatically increased international tensions between basically superpowers,

the united states and russia. principally right now over ukraine and the united states and china, basically over taiwan. these 3 major powers, united states, china, and russia have significantly increased at least their rhetoric, if not, they're could and, and in many people would say they're conventional military forces, poised against each other in what could be a war in each one of these places, russia, ukraine, in the united states or china, the united states in taiwan. the importance of this statement is basically for the parties to, to come together to say. notwithstanding these increase tensions. notwithstanding the increased movement of conventional military forces that these parties, these 5 permanent members of the security council, which include russia, the united states and china, that they will not resort to the use of nuclear weapons against one another. that's the importance of it, but it comes also in the context of important developments here in washington.

first and foremost, at the united states, the by the administration will be releasing its national security review and its national defense policy review, which include the u. s. position on its nucular posture. this is what so important the united states has never agreed to not to swear, not to use nuclear weapons 1st against any other country. but right now, there's a lot of pressure on the, by the administration to change that posture, to lower the tensions with russian china. but it is not about to do that because of pressure. he has domestically hear from republicans. so this statement from the security council is a way to kind of come into the middle. it lead the by an administration lower the rhetoric on the use of nuclear weapons, but doesn't force the by the administration to seed anything. to republicans here in washington. sorry, hillary, the executive director of the national campaign to abolish nuclear weapons, cited gretta thornburg and said that the pay 5 statement was merely blah, blah,

blah. and that even though they've released his agreement, they're doing exactly the opposite. and those nations are expanding their nuclear arsenal. and actually in a nuclear arms rice, do you agree? i think there's, there's a lot of merit to that argument. the, the debate here within the, by the administration. a essentially coming from progressives is that if the united states does not unilaterally itself, take a stronger stand against the 1st use of nuclear weapons that will produce the arms race. we are now seeing, we have seen a significant inter increase in china's acquisition. for example of its nuclear weapons. so that's the progressive argument and i think there's a lot of merit to it. to problem is the pressure from the more right wingers, especially here in washington. that now is not the time for binding to look weak against russia and china. and there you go, you have that kind of constant argument and therefore never really any movement against the nuclear arms race. well,

we appreciate you breaking it down for us as always. thank you very much, hillary man at liver at c o at the political risk consultancy strategy. thank you for your time on the news. allen. thank you. and your court has unsealed a settlement between a sex offender, jeffrey epstein and virginia of fray, whose sewing britons prince andrew for abuse. the deal made in 2009 forms. part of the phrase civil law suit against the duke of york. she settled for half a $1000000.00. the delight, pedophile, epstein, the agreement allowed for other potential defendants to be freed from any legal action. prince andrew's lawyers arguing these still protect him from claims now being brought against him by your fray. a us district judge will now have to decide if that's the case. jeffrey is accusing queen elizabeth, son of sexual assault on 3 occasions when she was 18. okay, let's get some more on this now with tedious hoffmeister who is a professor at the university of dayton school of law and joins us live by skype

from ohio. thanks for being on this and use our titus festival. took us through this critical hearing that happened today tuesday, in the civil case involving prince andrew. but thank you for having me. yes. you're, you're a 100 percent. right. this is a very critical hearing. is what prince andrew is trying to do in the civil suit. is per bit the case i'm actually being reached on the merits. if he is unsuccessful here, they're going to move the discovery stage and start digging and finding document in order to prepare for actual a trial if that that actually occurs. but 1st thing is present, you is trying, his attorneys are trying to show that he is exempt from this lawsuit because of that 2009 agreement between miss jeff bray. and jeffrey, i'm sorry. how does the secret deal from 2009, which has just been released publicly impact your phrase ability to sue the duke of

york? was going to come down is how the court is going to determine or, or define the freight other potential defendants. is the court going to take a expansive view? and really everyone under the sun could fall into that are going to take a very narrow definition of that freight, other potential defendants. and here is really where the lawyers are going to make their money because they're going to parse that. what that word that phrase and so many different ways in order if you are on the mr. brain defense team, i mean they're playing side. you're going to say that that is very narrow definition of that phrase, and it would not include the prince, prince andrew as opposed to a present. your team is going to say, yes, it's very, it should be, it should be read very broadly. the cover basically everyone under the sun. so there's lots of different avenues and arguments to now and all of that. it's quite complicated. but basically what you're saying is prince andrew's lawyers are

arguing that this steel protects him from claims being brought against him by defray. not necessarily that he's guilty or innocent, but just merely that it's this deal that protects him. correct. this is a procedural argument. they haven't got to the merits of what they're there anything happened whether he knows or he touched her. so this is just a procedural argument, whether or not this last who can go forward. and he's saying that she waved her rights when she took that settlement agreement for $500000.00 to bring a lawsuit against him in any other potential defend back in 2009 when she made that agreement. that's basically his argument. so i guess the conviction of glory maxwell doesn't really have a bearing on this. however, if things do proceed and you know, the case goes forward, eventually, what are the ramifications for prince andrew if the civil case proceeds could defray end up getting a pass?

oh definitely if, if, if she's able to prove that she was sexually abused and that, that print and you facilitated or cause harm to her. if she suffered some type of harm, that is correct. she could reach monetary some type of damage. it usually all long since don't get that far. most people they pick up, they decide that is not worth going forward and they sell the suit. but again, she settled her suit with jeopardy at the back of 2009 or $500000.00. many people believe that any settlement were to go forward, be in the upward of millions of dollars this time around. and what impacts do you think this litigation or discussion around the civil case is having on prince andrew now? why don't you can be positive? i don't, i don't think the release. i don't think he was happy about this document being released. i think it would might be better to make this argument and, and private not having the public to see that he's actually covered. because again,

he's not saying that we're not going to the marriage, the argument, but he's saying that i'm covered by this because i would somehow, i don't want to be involved, but it's not going to be putting him in a very positive light. so going forward, what's next? you, the us court needs to make a decision as to how to proceed. can you sort of give us a best or worst case scenario going forward? well, the best case scenario for the prints would be for this case to be dismissed. that would be his best case scenario. if the case is not dismissed and they find that he is not covered under the he's not a good call. they call 3rd party beneficiary to a settlement between jeopardy and s t. do are going to go what we call discovery. and in the discovery process, you can ask a lot of questions. you can, you can get documents, you can do interact tories. and there's this big claim so far by the print that he does not sweat or he didn't sweat at the time. and the medical condition,

you can delve into that. you can ask, you can ask both, is this true? you can start imposing the printed body guards to find out where they were at a particular day and time and what the prints went there or not. so when you can start digging in finding those information, it may be somewhat painful for them. well, it will be fascinating to see how it proceeds. thank you for breaking it down for us tedious hoffmeister, professor of laura university of dayton school. the full thanks for your time on the news. our thank you, grabbing it, still head down al jazeera, a deadly strain of bird flu, kills thousands of cranes in northern ireland. we look at why it's causing concern among health expense and a lucky escape for an nfl player in philadelphia. all those details a little later ah,

such as the hon. but ham drugs been unable to form a government since and says political deadlocks, threatened sedans, survival, it, morgan report. 2 weeks after the news of his intention to resign a marriage and emits a dead log between for dance political parties. prime minister of the lamb duke announced he was stepping down from his position. what amount was it? despite my efforts to achieve the necessary consensus to be able to deliver to our people on the promise of peace, justice and no bloodshed fed did not happened during the past few days. i met with all the civilian and military officials of the transitional council to explain and put the put shortage and historic responsibility in front of them. and following what i stated, i have decided to return to you on what you entrusted me with. sure. and they are not my resignation from the post of prime minister of the lamb duke emerged as leader in 2019 after the overthrow of to dance authoritarian president ahmed elvish

. here the country's main civil in coalition. the forces of freedom and change saw him duke. as the man to help sir dan transition from dictatorship to democracy. he had previously worked in the ministry of finance before taking up top jobs in the african development fund. and serving as the deputy commissioner of the you and economic commission for africa. as prime minister ham doke oversaw a severe financial crisis during which inflation stored beyond 400 per cent. but he still managed to and the civil conflict in various parts of the country with the giblet peace agreement of october 2020. he also successfully lobbied the u. s. and the world bank to remove the down from the list of sponsors of terrorism and convinced global financial institutions to provide debt relief and economic aid. but in october, this year, the military led by abdel for to help her hon. state a takeover lacing prime minister ham dog under house arrest and putting members of

his cabinet, imprison a month later. hum duck was released and reinstated, after international condemnation of the coo, he then find a deal to form a government of technocrats sidelining political groups. but many denise felt he had betrayed the revolution. his removal as far as they're concerned, the last fig leaf that was covering this regime and what remains is a full fledged military military dictatorship. so i think the international community will now will likely increase is pressure on the military regime with the hope of heating the demands of the city streets and, and installing a pull civilian rule demonstrations against the military and the deal have signed with them. have led to the killings of dozens of protesters by police insecurity. forces. ham joke has been unable to stop the violence or install a government that would remove military interference. and now it is left with no

choice but to concede defeat and resign. hebrew, morgan august era, potter dahlia, abdel money m is pro democracy activists. she says it isn't clear who will replace of della home duck my initial reaction when i was a bit upset because i, i always thought that even though he committed a lot of mistakes, dog, he was still the political buffer the week that the civilian side needed he would, you know, like the figure head of the people could to speak to the line to but nobody's gone . i can't see a replacement or i can see an option, you know, who else is going to step up. the political party burned their bridges and they had their political bickering, got us nowhere, definitely not looked at military entity. so for me, it's a question of what now, what's next? what's going to happen when it will show up at the head? or as the leader side, they lead to put as a priority,

the welfare of the country. and the people partisan politics need to be put to the side. we need to realize for them to move forward for us to move forward. we need to understand the need to, you know, you know, put in the work that's required to help and help us. so that work was put in back in 20192018 when the revolutions 1st started. but it basically fell apart during the transitional period of the government. but now they have to go back to, you know, have to go back to square one and start fresh. and because under the day, no one has come out a winner. i don't whether it's the military or whether it's the civilian political side, no one has emerged as a when a protest is in me. and my who are opposed to military rule have adapted the tactics to avoid confrontation with authorities. security forces have previously used live fire and mass arrests to intimidate them. tiny chang is following developments from neighboring thailand all across miramar,

in the last few days protested, have been out showing their opposition to the military government in insane township in yang. go and put a flash mob protested, hit the streets, holding up banners, calling for an end to dictatorship and shouting out slogans. calling for power to be returned to the people. they moved very fast. they don't protest for long because the military have used brutal oppression against protest as in the past 11 months. but it's not just in urban areas incent, show men marin, sorry, gang, which is an area which is generally in past been very supportive of the military, retest is came out to and in some cases, protest as have taken up arms a were the peaceful protest against the military is not working, it seems that is the one year anniversary of the military who approaches the people of mir more than one their voice to be silenced. the new york stock exchange has
