a 1000000 people on now in self isolation. more that shortly with rory challenge and none the but 1st that however, the problem is how she lived for us from new delhi. so cases of surging this political control saver surrounding some of them. what is it doing to hospitals? are they being stretched? yes, the hospital right now worried about cases among their own b for let me hundreds of don't support soft choice. india have just to cause a bill for the virus of the last week, raising concerns over possible short staffing issues. not just this morning in just talk hospital actually cancel the winter vacation office, offering them to return and prepare for an influx of patients. that hospital is in new delhi where more than 5500 cases will to last over the last 24 hours a new we can offer you is set to begin. in addition to the existing restrictions in the city include schools being shot and night. coffee being put in place now,

one of the positive cases is that of chief minister urban t 2, who's getting absolutely nothing to the team. the city. in fact, we've been called out for dublin standards for hosting national rallies. what people are violating cool with 90, known why most of the country, and he's also, he's on the heavy restriction. okay, and what about this? we can cur, few returning. what does that mean for people? well, you know, at this point, you know, deli corbin or 900 is absolutely massive. the numbers that we're seeing now have not been seen in several months. so what is going to happen is starting this weekend, you can't really move around, shops will be shots, and this is, as i said, in addition to already existing restriction, people are obviously not happy, but given then the next one very government says it had no choice to do that,

it has got a lot down for now, and that's probably because that reservation have been, you know, now many of the cities in the country are under some form of restriction in one by, for example. and that is in just financial topics. one of the hardest hits produced, there is a cap and probably gathering and in gall, which has emerged as a major over $900.00 for schools. have been shot colleges have also been shot to the end of the month. and a nice few has been imposed till the end of the month related. i thank so much has go with re chang's. now he's in london and what should be a very busy train station? it's back to work today in the u. k. it doesn't look like it though, looking behind you. no, it hasn't been. and so i've been here before 8 o'clock this morning. that was why didn't time to see russia. i happen. and it didn't really, despite the fact that this is the 1st day back at work after the main christmas

holidays. there are 3 good reasons why this place has been quiet. why many people are not returning to work this tuesday? one of those is because the government has told anyone that can work at home, that they perhaps should be working from home. there is another reason which is that there are also people who are sick at the moment. they've got coven more than a 1000000 britons over the last week. have tested positive coven 19. so they are at home, self isolating. and a 3rd reason is that because of so many people, self isolating, being off work with. there are significant star shortages, shortages on services like the transport networks, so many trains have been canceled. people actually can't get to work, even if they want to. they're all plans of hurts from the government has been talking as cabinet ministers with preparing for it. perhaps the worst case scenario

of one in 4 british workers being off now that's a huge number and a fat transpire, it would be an immense burden on services like the transport network. and we'll crucially the health services. so the government has also been tweaking with the coven isolation rules like other countries have at the moment trying to shorten those. so when people tech positive for today's consecutively, they can actually get back to work again sooner. but as i've seen this morning, it doesn't seem to be a huge many that have. all right, so it's not exactly bank to work or is it bank to school? well, yes, the government is saying that it's going to keep face to face learning going for as long as it really, really can. i think there are feedings within the british government that when the schools were closed earlier in the pandemic, that really did hurt the education of millions of school children and their mental

health as well. so if trying to avoid that this time around with on the chrome, one thing it has done is tweak the, the rules about mosque wearing in school. so now high school kids are having to wear masks in the classroom. school unions teaching unions and teachers themselves are unhappy with the governments at the level of warning that they got for this thing that the 1st they learned of this change to the regulations was when it was reading the newspapers on sundays. that the government didn't actually tell them before it brief, the press. teachers and teaching medians are also upset that the government hasn't made much money available for teaching absences. the fact that many teachers are off school because of the 19th and also that they've been asking for installations in school for many, many months. i still don't seem to have got that from the government. so lots of complaints that might be from within the teaching profession that was already

challenged fast from london. more than $100.00 passengers on board, a cruise ship in the mediterranean have tested positive the m. s. c. grandiose arrived at the northwest and italian port of genoa. on monday is now docked near rome. most of the passengers are from italy. those who live in the area have been allowed to disembark the rest of being accommodated in local medical facilities where they have stay until they have negative. hong kong they the kerry lamb is rejected. claims the territories press freedom faces extinction. it follows the closure of a 3rd independent news outlets. on monday, at a toria, leaders from citizen news said they're worried about the safety of their journalists. in october, the outlet was accused of misleading people about the national security law imposed by bay ging. i read news about because of the closure of online medium press freedom in hong kong faces extinction or hong kong, free,

free press faces collapse. i just couldn't us up that sort of allegations, but nothing is more important than the rule of law in hong kong and journalist 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 than they have to make up their mind and take the necessary divisions all along. you is a global justice campaigner and author of hong kong and revolt. he rejects caroline's claim, that freedom of the price is alive and well. if you look back, cho yes. and it is very clear that yes, aging and carry land is finishing all the freedom of press, the home home the government creaking the

lives the 80 piece last june. and then in november, actually one very alarming news as well that the whole government denies research of the british journal economists. the nice one obvious journal, a visa. so this is already on top of the fact that the whole government has refused that we search the financial times journalist as well. so if you look at the relevancy in the past 2 years been well i fully understand. busy that because in news closing, done on his own, because actually phase one consideration, i think the sad faith closing on itself. so that web site puts to be hanging out there for a while. you said all hosting done by the government and then everything disappear

or the archives disappear. that is the most dangerous and most tragic things happening in hong kong. hong kong court has sentence loya chow hung tongue to 15 months in prison. she was convicted of inciting, an unauthorized gathering to commemorate the chinaman square massacre. chow was arrested last year or day before the june anniversary of the 989 cracked down bay jing she was convicted on similar challenges in december. the sentencing on tuesday means she'll spend 22 months in jail police a band, the annual chinaman video for the past 2 years. citing corona virus restrictions, well, tens of thousands of people have fled their home. there's heavy rain causes flooding across malaysia. the rain started on sunday, causing rivers in several states to rise the dangerously high areas levels. rather
