and that cases have so far been miles and them to magic. they say they will look at these metrics, hospitalization, and death to decide if new restrictions ought to be placed. or sections have been re imposed in the philippines capital as dany covered 19 cases continue to rise in person classes, contact sports, and life performances a band. and capacity limits have been lowered for restaurants and businesses. barnaby. lo has more from manila, philippines capitol, region metro. manila is back to strict there quarantine levels after cases of corporate 19 spike over the holidays. so from alert level 2, it's been raised to alert level 3. what this primarily means is that goals age 17 and under. and those who are 60 years old and older are not allowed to leave their homes 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 clear right now is that businesses are allowed to operate, but at the limited capacity, 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 east restrictions back in november. it is of course, a huge blow to to the business because for a monday and it is usually a full house at lunch. and this is only the 1st day of an alert to have a 3 and, and we already have empty tables for lunch. now over the weekend, the health department officials also announced the detection of more ami current cases, a number of which were local cases,

we got huge problems and not for the 1st time in the pandemic. english schools are implementing last minute policy directors from the government, all high school students with now wear masks in classrooms. i like all the other teachers around the country found out about when mastering classrooms for lessons. when we read the national newspapers on sunday morning, which is appalling in my view, how is it that the press know what is going to go on in the classroom for her teachers? we've been briefed on that, but this is the only real tweak to paris johnson's omicron campbell, while scotland, wales, and northern ireland all brought in restrictions before christmas. the prime minister chose not to for england who sticking with his decision, the wasteful for the country as a whole is to continue with the path that where all the gamble is that vaccine coverage and on the crowns, relative mountainous will prevent the health service from being overwhelmed but even forest johnson recognizes its not looking good. the pressure on our in h. s on our hospital is going to be considerable in the course the next couple of

weeks and a may be more because there's no question on the car, continues to, to search through the country elsewhere in europe with a new here come new steps. france, who's going ahead with measures announce last week, a 3 day work from home rule for those who can big public gatherings limited for 3 weeks. and parliament is debating a change to frances health pulse. only the vaccinated would be allowed in restaurant cafes and more. the health minister condemned alleged death threats from anti vaccination activists that they don't by the view. let us not lose sight of the fact that the objective of this law is not to restrict individual and collective liberties of french people. the objective of this law is to save lives, what it is to protect our hospital and relieve the workload of our health work. then despite opposition from some politicians, the backing several parties means the lower house will likely pass the bill. re challenge out of their passengers and a cruise ship in portugal,

her started to disembark. after being stuck a board for days following a curve at 19 outbreak german operator of the nova cancelled its voyage to 52 cases were confirmed among the crew on wednesday. and the 12 people have since tested positive, all the 4000 people on board the ship authorities say passengers are permitted to leave after testing negative. but the christian day a coma is the director at the duke global health innovation center. he says, omicron is likely to cause a rise in hospital admissions. i could overwhelm many health centers. oh mac 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 trend. ms ability,

or 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 to senior communist party officials in china have been removed from their post. as the city of sean wrestles with

the have been officials who have been held responsible and either punished or fired from the purse. now this goes to show how serious beijing is taking it 0 tolerance approach to the current virus even now 2 years on. and it also is an example of what aging is trying to do to ease frustrations due to the inconveniences caused by these outbreaks. the city of she, 13000000 people, is the population. all of them now are under severe lockdown, unable to even leave their homes. and this lockdown is entering its 3rd week now. and there have been many complaints that because of this locked on, many residents are not able to access fresh food or other daily necessities. i was unclear so far how long this locked on will continue. but authorities, the under extreme pressure to get the case numbers down before the beginning of the beijing winter olympics in february. so far since the beginning of december,

that has been in total more than $1600.00 cases. they're covered cases of the delta variance, and the latest figure reported on monday was 60 cases added to that number. still to come on the news, our back on the streets protested in sudan say the prime minister's resignation will just lead to more chaos and confusion. and for the 2nd time in as many days, flames tear through south africa's parliament. ah yemen who fight to say they've seized a united arab emirates ship and the red sea. the group was confirmed, the hijacking of the u. a flag vessel in waters off the coast of the ebony port city of her data. the rebels. so the ship was carrying military supplies, thus disputed by the saudi led coalition, which says medical supplies warn board. saudi arabia's leading a military coalition that's battled the hoof is from all 6 years. my medulla tub

has more from santa we couldn't tell. oh exactly. he's telling the truth of the how these military spokesperson, they are said during his pressure, has revealed some pictures that he said, show the air, the air, the u. e flagged cargo cargo ship a carrying weaponry or armored vehicles and also a marine boats. but, but we couldn't confirm such pictures that had been revealed by the how the spokesperson also the year. these are the other side or the high quality. and they're saying that it was carrying medicines or, or other civilians stuff the, the situation is really developing rapidly. their hope these are during his, the pressure during the process explained about the operation how, how they have conducted this operation of the, the, the cost of unquote ada, where'd the have money to come to this ship according to the statement of the,

how these are the spokesperson, he says that the have kept monitoring this ship for in their for weeks, according to him, and also the, the, the, via the, the ag kick used it all for carrying out hostile activities. and the along the red sea sedans, miniature leaders calling for an urgent care take a government and new measures to deal with demonstrations. it far as the resignation of prime minister of dela. hm. doc, who says political deadlocks threatens. she don survival pro democracy groups say they're planning further protests on tuesday. m morgan reports from the capital cartoon. ah. 6 these people have recently heard to prime minister of the lamb duke the 1st to hold the position following sedans. 2018 revolution has resigned, and many in the country are divided on his departure. is that of how little? because not a good hum ducks departure is a big loss to the nation. i mean, he had made

a lot of achievements and brought progress to saddam. but the military with the reason he was unable to move forward on so many issues, the military is the reason why cross of unpredictability. ah, and it doesn't make a difference. it's just like he doesn't make a difference if he stays no hom dock, no longer serves the demand of the people on the street. so he legitimized a takeover and blessed what they have done. and this was much less than what the people of sued on have been calling for. ham doth, was torn in in 2019 after the overthrow of long time president amaral bashir. he was picked by the coalition known as the forces of freedom and change to lead to dance transition to democracy. the coalition represented the protest movement that lead anti government demonstrations against bashir as government, but impost months of the coalition has been divided. that became the basis for the military to stage a takeover in october. placing him, duke under house arrest and putting members of his cabinets in prison. a month later he was released and then find a deal to form a government of technocrats side lining political groups. when he 1st took office

ham dogs, popularity was high among the protest this and when he was closed under house arrest during the military takeover, many regarded him as a symbol of civilian rule. but the deal he signed with the military in november made him lose supports of not just the protest movement, but also the political parties that brought him to power. some activists, c, m, duke's resident. it could be in the interest of the process movement. now the handle can step down, they realize that they need to get their houses into, or did they need to get there. you know, they need to get everything organized and need to start from scratch. and i think also the military side needs to understand that the people will not the top. i don't have cited lack of consensus among political policies as his reason for stepping down. and as the political parties remain at odds, there's little hope of both coming together to name someone to replace him. he but morgan august 0. to take a look back at how we got here. well, 3 years ago and uprising and she done forced the government from office. it began

in december 2018 with protests over the rising cost of living. but it soon evolved into calls for an end to president around, but she is 30 year rule that combinations in april 2019, when he was overthrown by the military power sharing agreement was signed in august of that year, after a 100 was appointed prime minister leading a transitional council, in february announced a cabinet, we shuffle in the face of mass street protests against few and bred shortages. then last october, the military declared a state of emergency dissolving the interim government and arresting civilian leaders. since then, thousands of people have demonstrated all the streets with thousands killed by security forces. the machine is a former senior us diplomat in sudan. he draws his live from washington, d. c by skype. thanks very much for being with us. just to go back to docs resignation, why do you think he did it at this point? i think he concluded that he was not able to advance the process of moving towards

the civilian government. he had lost the confidence of many of the protesters in the street, not all of them, but enough of them that he, he was personally concerned that he just wasn't serving the useful purpose anymore . and he probably doubted the seriousness of the military to even move forward with a civilian government. so what do you think military will do now? i think the military will try to hold on the power at all costs. i think it will continue to repress the protesters and it therefore becomes a question as to who has the the ability to, to stand up longer is that the protestors on the street or they grow in numbers, or is the military that wants to maintain power and will they maintain the control of the, the average as soon nice soldier who is being asked to fire on his own people? what about any possibility of going back to some sort of civilian military,

transitional government? is that likely to happen? and if so, who would be part of it? well, i have no idea who might be part of it at this point. for very few people out there who would have any, any credibility. the question is whether the military is serious about moving forward towards the civilian government. and i think there are serious questions about that at the moment. there is no obvious. ready candidate out there the, the party was, had already expressed a position to even unbox return. and he made a very honest effort to, to work with the military and move towards the civilian government. if they can find someone better than on dark, i have no idea what would be an interest rate and don't, should the country was it quoted dangerous turning point that threatens its whole survival? what do you think he meant by that? would you agree to a degree? yeah, so i think that might be something of an overstatement. if you look at the news

history they've. ready been through several periods that have been equally threatening to the future of the country. but you have an ongoing economic problem in the country and that may more than anything else determine the future of what happens if the economy continues to deteriorate. i think the protests and the street will grow with even more pressure on the military and making the situation even more dangerous. what kind of international community and what would you expect the return of sanctions, for example? well, there's a possibility. ready of that, certainly from the west by the sanctions will come from any other party and the international community. they're all of the gulf states is also very important. and also egypt, egypt and a couple of the gulf states tended to be fairly close to the military. and cartoon, and what they do now is going to have a very important impact as to how this plays out and how strong the military it's

so feels to you talked about the protested and how they might operation. now what do you think that kind of will satisfy them? would bring them off the streets if you don't? well, some sort of commitment. i mean, real commitment from the military, from the generals, that they are in fact moving towards the civilian government. and that i, i find that hard to see and the sample future with all of this happen, particularly since october 25. the military would have to take significant steps and compromise enormous way beyond what it has done so far to. ready assure the protesters that they are indeed going to allow a civilian. ready government, something making a statement that there will be elections and 2023 is not going to do it. and in terms of the military control, do you expect them to, you know,

sort of behave differently from the way they've been behaving recently over the short term? probably not. again, the, the feared peer of the economy may determine this if the economy really thinks are worse turn than it already has. may sort of co forced the government to, to change tactics. if they can somehow bumble through on the economy. they might be able to stay empower indefinitely. davidson, thank you very much indeed for to just appreciate your time. hi, the south africa parliament building in cape town has flared up again just hours after seemingly being brought under control. a firefighters at once again. battling the flames and smoke at the national assembly building the far initially broke out early on sunday morning. and this caused extensive damage including the roof,

a civil case against prince andrew accusing him of sexual assault when she was 17. but prince andrew lawyers had argued the 2009 settlement could release him from liability in the case. he has consistently denied the claims or christians. an image was as live from new york as a christian. what are these documents review? well, the documents reveal what prince andrew's lawyers hope is the language that will release him from liability. in this case, they say it is grounds to dismiss the lawsuit against him. of course, virginia defray alleges that she was trafficked by jeffrey epstein, the financier who died awaiting trial in prison and his girlfriend, virginia, gillian maxwell, who was recently convicted of sex trafficking in exchange for her not taking any legal action against prince andrew or other people.

i'm sorry she, she alleges that she was traffic, of course, and that one of the people that she was traffic to was prince andrew. the language in this document says that she agreed by accepting a $500000.00 settlement from jeffrey epstein not to take any further action against any one any further defendants in the document use is very sweeping, broad language to say that she will not pursue anyone from the quote beginning of the world for any compensatory damages, punitive damages, which of course is what this law suit is all about. so this is the grounds that the attorneys will be using to attempt to get the case dismissed. and having difficult knowledge of the prince and his upcoming court case. so we will find out on tuesday tomorrow, the lawyers will appear before the judge and make the arguments on this document

and other grounds that the court doesn't have jurisdiction over prince andrew. g phrase, lawyers are arguing that the document is relevant at legal experts. do say that the document and the way it's written is very unusual. but that doesn't mean that it won't stick. so expect on tuesday to hear procedural arguments in court that have to do with whether or not this case can continue. it's a crucial moment though, if the case is allowed to continue, then we get into the discovery phase. when the plaintiffs and the defendants would have to turn over evidence in the case. and clearly the prince and his team are hoping it doesn't come to that. chris's room. thank you very much. according canada, has awarded a $107000000.00 in damages to the families of victims of an airliner shot down iran . 2 years ago. you create airlines flight 71752 was hit by 2. miss han excuse me
