people that is one of the most helpful things to come out of this critical debate. do you think a should be facilitated? not sure. okay, it's a great, it's a really simple question. let's give samuel a child swans that inside story on al jazeera. ah, this is al jazeera ah hello, welcome, i'm pete adobe. you're watching the news. our life from dough are coming up in the next 60 minutes. schools in the u. k. reopen after the holidays. with cobit 19 infections. creating new records with each passing day could be 19 cases saw in india in what's been called a 3rd wave. daily's chief minister tests positive a day after addressing

a rally. if they are fearful off for not being able to comply with the north end, they have to make up their mind. a warning for the media by hong kong leader. as another news outlet shuts down and fallen silicon valley star, elizabeth holmes faces years in prison. for investor fraud and conspiracy and in sport, japanese tele star, naomi or south that makes a winning return to action. a foreign town grand sam, champion b to lease coronets in melbourne. and her 1st competitive match in 4 months with to begin in the u. k. where the school children are going back to school the 1st time this year, but with a number of positive cases of cobit 19 rising exponentially, last week, heads of schools, fear staff, shortages, more than 1000000 people are now in self isolation. the case prime minister,

as well in the health service will be quotes under considerable pressure as omicron casey surge. but boris johnson has ruled out additional restrictive measures in northern italy. more than $100.00 passengers on board. a cruise ship in the mediterranean have now tested positive with the virus, the m. s. c. grandiose i arrived at the italian port of genoa on monday. it's not in dock near rome. cases in india have also been increasing, particularly in the tourist hub of go. a cruise ship, their band for the western indian state, has been prevented from docking optimal than 60 infections were detected on board. that particular vessel will have property, metalli, new deli shortly 1st life to re challenge. she's outside the train station in london, rory, i mean this time of year after christmas, new year, that train station behind you should be jumping. it's not what's going on. well sir, it's no. this is supposed to be back to work day after the christmas holidays rush

hour is over. now it's 10 o'clock in the k boss. it never goes very russia here at london bridge station. d. c is one of the supposedly busiest stations in london, bringing people in from the commute to belt of south east england. but now they were, there were very few people, i mean back to a half se needs to come with a great, big asterisk. and a 3 large caveats written in bold type face number. one of those is, should you even be coming back to work in the 1st place, given that the government as part of his plan, be measured, says that anyone could, should work from home. also, are you well enough to be coming into work? they're all over the last 7 days, more than a 1000000 breasts that have tested positive for corona virus. so plenty of people in isolation that is having a knock on effect on services like the health service and the transport network. so that leads on to number 3,

even if you can come into work and you'll well enough to, can you even get there? because the transport network has been severely strained over the last few days. lots of cancellations across the system. people struggling to get on their trains. now, the government has put in place, or at least asked, is ministers to put in place plans for $1.00 and $4.00 people potentially being off work at the with the on the comm wave crashing over the country. now that's a huge number and of course with massively impact services, if it gets that bad to, to try mitigate that, like other countries, the u. k has tweets, it's isolation rule. so that shortening the period of self isolation once you've tested negative for chavira on a couple of consecutive days. but yeah, back to work has not really been a particular rush on this morning. and how is this all playing up, particularly in hospitals, but also crucially in the school rooms are up and down the country, rory, because people are questioning the government signaling and it's messaging saying

that you just basically snuck is out there that all school children, all secondary school children have to wear a face mask all day every day. that's something new, but significant. yes, the teaching indians teachers have been quite annoyed with that, but they have been annoyed with the government at multiple times over the course of this pandemic. they feel like they've been dumped in it repeatedly, and that's happened again with a sunday headlines in the papers saying that as he just mentioned, they're returning high school. kids are going to have to wear mosques through day in classrooms, etc. they have said the, the teaching areas and teachers, why didn't he tell us this 1st group before going to the papers and, and briefing them. they're also testing requirements being brought in. now, high school kids being basically made test 2 or 3 times

a week and being made test for they come into school 1st aid back today. there. so there is disquiet, certainly in the, in the teaching profession. also teacher saying, why have we not been given more money to cope with staff shortages? and as we've been asking for for months now, better ventilation in schools and the governments, they say hasn't stepped up to that challenge. but yes, as he mentioned in the health as well, severe shortage is one in 10 and a chest off supposedly off at the moment that is inevitably having a knock on effect. the other services on quality. any other type of treatment the might need to get when the service there is a big strain being put on that health services bone as boris jones admitted when he spoke yesterday, re, thanks very much for the challenge. the correspondent london bridge station on the banks of the thames. let's take your life now to india. we're going to talk to our correspondent, they're passionate metallic. so poverty infections across the country rising. just

just take it through how the numbers are stacking up. now, when the last 24 hours in the clock more than $37000.00 new cases. and i know when you compare it to many of the bosses all including the u. k. we, where we just went to a ride ago. it seems like you know, but the sandwich has been exponential. i mean, just a fortnight to go in dallas clocking maximum 1012 for new cases. the situation is particularly alarming in new jelly where we are right now. more than 5500 cases will last overnight. the positivity here is 8.5 is trying to government has announced a new set of restriction for the city. so we can coffee will begin. in addition to a nice coffee when several other restriction schools have also been shot in the national capital. now one of the positive cases in the city is that of chief men excel page, but he's getting absolutely no sympathy from the 20000000 residents. yes,

they're actually calling him out for being responsible and hosting super read a mass election rallied, employ bounce credits over the last few days. he has had several valleys in 2 states that i headed for elections. and he's just the only political nita, by the way, even prime minister in the regular body, is busy in action. uri, when most of the country is under some form or restriction. not the good news is that hospitalized ations often know in india. but dr. to ation could change very quickly. in fact, in just talk hospital has canceled the vacation of the doctor, offering them alternate onto a and prepare for an influx of sean. and what's the latest on that cruise ship up near go? i mean, cruise ships, the tour operators have been telling us now for the best part of a year. look, everyone on board. a cruise ship is test is negative. you can get onto a cruise ship as a passenger or crew unless you are coven free. but that's obviously and clearly now

not the case anymore. right. and that has to do a lot with the very, you know, this clue ship was going from low by to go it mr. johnny were told everybody had to get negative cash. and we're also fully fascinated, but it get dos in go off for a while and when the passengers return, they were tested. and $66.00 of them were found to be positive. the state gotten the best that they will not allow anybody to disembark and has off the ship to return on right now it's, i see i'm going to the, when they do return to me by all of them will be tested. what's really causing a lot of chaos will be killed for local media report is that target patients even though the rice raising on board? austin, you know, they're on the ship with people who just the negative. now all of that had put the light on. so she's screw up as a tourist hubs personally popular this simultaneous because of new york. and it's probably one of the few places where you can enjoy at the beach, but they charge

a fee for the vending in been, you know. 6 you know, crowding beaches raise it all the questions and now the cases have been sore and positivity rate in go if 20. ringback 6 percent for every for awesome, that's testing for the virus is positive. the government there has impose denied you and also shall schools and colleges. so the and to some bob hoffjay. thank you very much happening, matilda talking to us from new delhi. lots more ground still to couple whole year on the news are including flooding and more than half of the lazy estates after weeks of heavy rain and fighting against a landfill sites leads to the deaf one, mexican activist. and in the premier league branch, the united lose to the 1st time under the interim manager, more on that later in the sport. ah, unconsciously the carry land has rejected claims the territory press freedom,

faces quotes, extinction. it follows the closure of a 3rd independent news outlet on monday. at atoria, leaders from citizen news say they're worried about the safety of their journalists . in october, the outlet was accused of misleading people about the national security law as imposed by beijing. i read news about because of the closure of online media and press freedom in hong kong facing extinction or hong kong, free free press faces collapse. i just cannot us up that sort of allegations, but nothing is more important than the rule of law in hong kong. and journalists and media, when i say sions like, or of us, have to respect and comply with the law. if they are fearful of not being able to comply with the law, then they have to make up their mind and take the necessary decisions. for clinic has more for us from hong kong. that isn't yours is winding up to suffer ations and

the building behind me will now stop updating its website after it said it could no longer continue. citing the safety of its stuff. it's the 3rd media outlet to close office. send you last week. the arrests and raid over the news room and the 4th closure. 1 of apple, daily and june, last year, citizen news described itself as a small boat and tremendously rough save it found a chris young said that he hoped it would not deterred young journalists from taking part in the industry. and that there's still a role for media here in hong kong. however, it's still unclear whether the remaining outlets, like hong kong free press can survive in this environment. chief executive terry lab said that it's not about press freedom that it's about upholding the national security law. while hong kong authorities deny there's a crack down here and say they are not targeting the media. the hong kong jealous association says that attacks on the press threatened the status of hong kong as

age as well. city. hong kong was once known as a thriving hub for media outlets. but since the national security law was introduced in 2020, that change. and now there are big fears over whether independent journalism here is being crushed, live out to london and long new global justice campaign, and also of hong kong in revolts out long. you welcome to the news of these comments from kerry lam. proportionate to the posture of self styled independent media in hong kong. no, i don't think so, and i disagree with her because if you look back to yes and it is very clear that yes, aging and kerry lynn is finishing all the freedom of press in hong kong. is it your reading of the situation? yeah. pardon me for interrupting you. the is it, you're reading of this later situation that this particular outlet, citizen news,

is closing itself down as opposed to being closed down. so clearly the people that run, that is a news think the atmosphere is so toxic. there's no point being there. yes, up to the government credit in the lives the 80 this last june. and then in november, actually one very alarming news as well as that the government denies research. the british journals, economists the nice one of his journalist, a visa. so this is already on top of the fact that you turn the team government has refused that we search through the financial times journalist as well. so if you look at the developments in the past 2 years been, well i fully understand. busy that the citizens news closing down on his own

because actually page one consideration, i think that they are closing on itself. so that web site could still be hanging out there for a while. you said all coaching dining you'd be by the government and then everything is a b s or the archives disappear. that is the most dangerous and most tragic things happening in hong kong. so clearly for you, the environment for journalists trying to work in hong kong, telling the hong kong story, the story of the, the former colony is very, very hostile still. where do you think this will end od? i think for now, but i think there is one news outlet which is very important is that there is still pending. it is called in media. i think if we

talk about popularity, it is 2nd to the span news. india also has a strength that it's media news. our lead is very much connected to social wolfman. and ever because he's in hong kong in general. so this website is now still spending, but no one knows how long it spends. so that's just absurd. in the next stage that the media could hang out how long in media is also coaching dot under the pressure and basically all freedom of press is finished off. you get the sense as well. the talking to former colleagues and friends of yours, i guess in hong kong that they might choose to leave hong kong for a different reason. up until may be 10. 12 years ago, there was

a distinct sense that some of the schools and the universities in hong kong were quite liberal. it was easy to find some place that was not self branding as liberal, but it was, i tend to fight as being liberal. but if you talk to people who specialize in education in hong kong or who observe how education is carried out in hong kong, they wouldn't necessarily describe the same institutions to day as being especially liberal. oh yes. i agree with that and also it's something that i have been observing and also report to badge among vague universities community that is what it's scary things have been going on, but it is really openly reporter for instance. yes, we have. i mean the, and it was in the hong kong, they always have a very big proportions,

all foreign lecturers, every profession and so on, in the past 5 years. if not longer off, many, all these for the professors had wes's the night. it all, all it look necessary visa then you know when they turn sixty's and then when they, according to the rules begin the flyer for the expansion of the contract. but these were denied it, so we are losing a lot of, of what the foreign profession professors because of this. so not to mention that in hong kong, we have already, local professors were being forced to retire or has their

contract terminated. so yes, in the education in higher education, i mean the limits to academic freedom is terribly fast. okay. and brutal. okay, we'll leave it the long you. many thanks for talking to us from london. okay, thank you. bye. and seeing in hong kong a court there has sentenced a lawyer, child hung tune to 15 months in prison. she was convicted for inciting, an unauthorized gathering. to commemorate the gentleman square massacres, char was arrested last year a day before the june anniversary of the 1989 crack down in bay jing she was convicted on similar charges in december. the sentencing on tuesday mean she'll spend 22 months in jail. the police are banned the annual gentleman vigil for the past 2 years. citing corona virus restrictions, tens of thousands of people who fled their homes is heavy. rain causes flooding across malaysia. the rain started on sunday,

some places it was volunteers who actually reach those areas. lesson who helped move people to safety, who are bringing food and water to people. and the has been a lot of anger directed at the government. now the damage to property has been huge . you've seen pictures of homes that vehicles have been submerged plantation, land roads. i've also remains that much for days that have been landslides. and this coming on the back of 2 years, nearly 2 years of pandemic, of prolonged periods of lockdown. this is putting a severe financial strain on many families. and it isn't even over yet. the department of irrigation has forecast, have high tides in some parts of malaysia. and particularly in places where the water levels at rivers are still dangerous. the high, this could potentially worse than flooding. torrential rain in indonesia is for more than 20000 people to leave their homes. there several districts in north ha
