a cowboys already given the very dire situation of the pandemic, we have to grasp very critical moment. we have to contain the pandemic to ensure that there will not be a major outbreak in the community again 5. now i think we are realizing omicron is a highly transmissible variant. so if we, when we will be able to contain the spread of all micron in society, the measures i'm going to announce our may be the most decisive rapid targeted and comprehensive we have had for the past 2 years. india's infection counts on wednesday was nearly double the number recorded 4 days ago, nearly one 3rd of infections or in new delhi, and when by and the french parliament had to be suspended over nights after the president emanuel mack wrong used vulgar language to describe his strategy for pressuring skeptics to get the vaccine, the government trying to push through a bill that would make jobs compulsory to access public places. live now to paris and our correspondent, natasha butler. natasha, we won't hit the bleep button,

but what did he say? yes, sir. french president emanuel my calls or comments to the french newspaper le perisi or sony, causing a quite a stir here in france. the french president was being interviewed about his strategy for the cove. it crisis, the french government very much targeting on vaccinated people saying vaccination is the way out of the crisis, but micro in his interview called unvaccinated people are irresponsible, effectively saying that they weren't being a decent citizens. he also then went on to say that he was going to try and hassle unvaccinated people as much as possible, but the word he actually used in french was a far stronger. it has sort eschatological overtones and a sargje ah, has been described as a vulgar, unseemly, or by

a number of opposition and peas. in fact, i, his comments filtered through and became public a during a, a parliamentary debate and peas were debating the government's plans are to try and push through a new vaccine pass. an m p 's are in that debate, then of voice, their protest over macros commence the leader of the far right. let's go potty, marine. the pen said the mac mall was being on presidential other said his words showed his brutality. his contempt for ordinary people that he was a being a cool. so macros comment, sony hosing a lot of controls he so much. so in fact that, that parliamentary debate had to be suspended at to 2 o'clock in the morning a local time. because at the head of the parliament said simply, a car needs to be restored before torques could continue. but what if natasha? he wasn't talking to fellow parliamentarians, wasn't even talking to the unvaccinated. what if he was talking to the voters?

there's a presidential election around the corner. yes, so in 3 months time, voters in france will be going to the polls and of course the president, the macro would have that on his mind. now the head of my political party said, look, 90 percent of people in france all fascinated and i think it's clear what the president is. banking on is many people in france, agreeing with a doctors and a health workers are certainly saying that the majority of patients advancing in a hospital are people who are on vaccinated. that's putting a lot of pressure on the work they do. that means, or the 3rd reason being canceled and the president will say, get back on the fact that as the restrictions continue, more and more people are just simply fed up. they want the way to spend their make the government, the same vaccination as the way out. it's all part of, of this political strategy. but there are others with thing. look, it's very risky because in my new market could alienate many possible supporters or

voters who see his source. his language is unseemly. he could be seen as being a kind, contemptuous of ordinary citizens who all citizens of france off to rule whether or not they choose to be facts. and they said, and also there are all these sorts of echoes of the early days of president micro, when many people are choosing the big, arrogant. natasha. thank you very much. natasha butler, talking to us live there from the bureau in paris. indian politicians say they are convinced the country is in the grip of another wave of covey. elizabeth moran, who has that story from new delhi deli health minister. this is the latest public health officials to say that india is very much now. and the 3rd wave off the corona virus, and the few dry cases as being driven by the on the cold, buried was $75.00 percentage of cases. and all major cities being on the cross. the eastern city of cold casa, has recorded a highest number of davy cases since the pandemic beget and a positivity range of 38 percent. meaning that one and 3 people who are being

tested and that may the city have the virus mon, by which is remain the worst effect city throughout the pad. demick seen the 700 percent increase in cases over the past week. and on tuesday it was 7.7 percent of those who tested positive, needing hospitalization. and while a lot of government health officials are saying that while hospital like the cases are going up at the hospitalization that still low 7.7 percent on tuesday, that was till $834.00 people. and the concern and is that with cases going up as they are, that india is underfunded. health care system is not going to be able to handle a huge strain on cases as we have seen in the past. we've all ready seeing health care workers around the country contract and the virus, the latest, 50 to day one of the biggest public hospitals at the 61 just in one hospital in by 131 in partner. so to keep the number of hospitalizations down or to try to stay

or impose more restrictions, the 7th stage of cut nautica is the laser to join delhi in a night. curfew on the weekend. the u. k. o positionally to secure tama has tested positive fits the 2nd time he's covered 19. he's not set to have any significant symptoms. his infection was picked up during regular testing again in the us president joe biden has told americans there is no excuse for being on vaccinated. john henderson has that for us from washington, with the latest cove at variance soaring to record highs. president joe biden began with a warning, and i'll give it to you straight as i promised you. i always would. we're going to say, as you all have been hearing continued rise in cases. then in his address to the nation, he offered reassurance. if you're vaccinated and boosted, you are highly protected. you know, be concerned about, i'm a crime,

but don't be alarmed. the alma crohn variant is surging, setting a single day record with more than a 1000000 new infections over running test centers. leaving many more wondering if they too are contagious. the less lethal than previous variance on the crown is more infectious, threatening to overrun hospitals and threatening even children who are largely unvaccinated cove. it in a very short period of time has become one of the leading medical causes of death for children in this country. so i think it's about time that we stopped downplaying the significance of coven for children. the explosive contagion hit hardest in the u. s. his families gathered for the christmas holiday season, cancelling understaffed flights in setting off a wave of vaccine and re masking mandates across the us where positive coven tests have surged from 5 percent to 20 percent. since november. many schools returned

from the winter break online only, but here in washington and in new york, where positive tests have grown from 3 percent to 33 percent, schools are open for business. new york's mayor insists that school is the safest place for children. if you look last year 2020, you witness that the transmission rates was less than one percent inside a school in a household. it was over 15 percent back in washington, president biden ended with a plea for the 35000000 eligible americans who remain and vaccinated. please take advantage of what's available. police in a nation where one's view of vaccination can depend on one's political affiliation . it seems certain that that's a plea that it least for some will fall on deaf ears. john henderson, al jazeera washington. now there's been a furious reaction in australia after the tennis star novak joke of it was granted

a vaccine travel exemption to play in a major tournament. them organizes are denying. he's been given special treatment. but critics point to double standards a time of soaring, coven 19 infections. his sarah clock, his loan number, one tennis player, and 19 as he's 20 major titles at the trial. and this year he gets to defend his party, after announcing on instagram. but he was exempt from the country vaccination and was granted permission to travel to melbourne. obviously the announcement by novak that he has been gone to the medical exemption and and that exemption for them the opportunity to come into a trailer, come into victoria and compete at the israel open. the decision has triggered widespread anger and a country that had to deal with some of the toughest type restrictions on travel, both into states and overseas. and from those in a city that have endured the world's longest cumulative, locked down to contain the pandemic. i guess discussing,

i don't know how you can get medical exemption when you apply that when you that fit and apply and your number one in the world. i think to describe revolt on the right thing. we've all gone out and go to l. judson l boosters and we have someone that's come from overseas and all of a sudden he's, he's been exempt and comply and i think it's a disgrace and i won't be watching at all players and told him and stuff must be vaccinated to have an exemption to take part in the strain open, start on january 17, last year, the road number one tennis place said he was personally opposed and wouldn't want to be forced by someone to take the vaccine in order to travel stride in open seo and the government in the state of victoria have denied junk of it's got special treatment. say it's up to the tennis player to reveal his medical condition. it's very clear on what conditions you would receive an exemption on. and to brief, you quickly summarize those. one of them is obviously having an adverse response to

any kind of vaccine and having something like an an effective response. another one is if you've just had major surgery and may or may not be suffering from my caught iris. and another one is you were recovered case, the prime minister was quick to deflect any criticism, victoria government, in my decision on that. and so i'd have to toward government that the reasons for doing so on the court has now reached every state in australia. more than 90 percent of people aged over 16 had 2 doses of the vaccine. even so, the number of dally infections in most states is reaching record levels. some testing centers had been forced to close to deal with the backlog. the national cabinet, led by the prime minister, has now agreed to provide concessional access to rapid adage and tests in a bid to ease pressure on a health system. struggling to cope. sarah clark al jazeera queensland, australia will wrap up the rest of the days. news for you here on the news are still to come, including these stories. china moved to keep an even closer eye on apps. it

believes could sway the people a new year. but old challenges linger on and remain. we'll look at the issues facing diplomats at the united nations in 2022 and in sport. one of italy's finest players is heading to north america far will have all the details later on in the shop. ah, processes are back out on the streets of kazakhstan today, undeterred by state of emergency orders, and the government's resignation. demonstration started several days ago over an increase in the price of fuel. and they've been continuing in the nation's biggest city or marty calipers or the yarn picks up the story. feels like leave her rear in context of protests ever wanted in several cities outreach over an increase in fuel prices had spread across the country while

inclusions, her food, particularly in the largest city comedy, with reports of a flyer in gunshot theatre. the mayor's office were demonstrators trying to storm the building earlier in the week. oh, we're beginners, hooter seconds. fuel prices has turned into a wider co accountability. quickly take a little while ago, were people started calling. birth free elections of local officials are started going for the ouster about top officials and the government. i'm so, you know, they're, they're working to get this log kind of under control as much as they can. it's going to hurt gravitational because a government cost on has always been fairly stable. the cost of liquid fi, petroleum gas, or lpg, which is widely used as harmful, more than double to $0.20 a leader when the government lived at price camps. but i'm it political pressure, the government of the oil, which countries the price would go back to $0.11 a leader in monkeys. dow, in the west and another provinces faced with

a minimum wage of less than a $100.00 a month. protesters say the increase is unacceptable. hazard fans president sacked his cabinet and appointed a new acting prime minister. now his calling for the unrest to stop resume but go i will remove when he calls to attack, civilian and military officers are completely illegal and it is a crime and that will be punished. power will not fall. what we need is not conflicts but mutual trust and dialog on new conflict. the government has argued lpg subsidies are unsustainable in the long term. but it's plant a phase i'll price caps over 3 years, is being fiercely resisted. the central asian country, long known in the region for its political stability, now faces widespread unrest. katia lopez are the young. and what is your

turn is now from key of is peter's all my f executive director of the racial democracy initiative. peters are my of welcome to the news. are there was trouble in exactly this area a decade ago. that was really messy. then do you see something similar heading our way now? in fact, yes, you're right. the city of generals in a new sort of violence because i had never known and disposed independent history exactly. 11 years ago, over 16 people died in that city in similar products. what is different this time? is that the protest then there were confined to the western oil producing part of the country they have now this time spread to the rest of the country, the average gulf main cd of cost on almighty and the capital. see the neural con, named after the de facto ruler of correct on, neutral gunners, or by who remains the de facto mean political actor,

incorrect. so what do you see now the, the, the formal, you know, the formal excuse for the project is the listing of the cap on liquid liquified petroleum gas in a country where as you reported, mentioned salaries are pretty models by world standards. on the other hand, we are seeing increasingly political demands being added to the protesters to the point where their main demand or one of their main demand is for the hours of the government, which has in fact happen, does not satisfy any longer. so this is a very, very scary situation is threatening the spiral of a spiral out of control. and then one man may wonder what the government may be forced to do or made before to call on him a point to help. and step in that is a big question. that sounds as if it's got the makings of being a situation that is not only dangerous the country but dangerous for the way to region. because if the russians walk in, the chances of the russians walking out must be pretty slim,

especially in the short term, at least as someone you know, as you mentioned, i'm sitting and based in kiev, in ukraine. i know better than, than many people that did indeed, when black me put books in it is so far, there is no precedent for him to be moving out. you look at all, but you look at georgia, you look at eastern ukraine and there's clearly more than enough precedence in context for that to happen. the entire northern part of our son is largely russian speaking and ethnic russian population latimer putting has in the past, hinted that he does not view because that's done as a viable sovereign nation. in fact, one time saying that, you know, it could expand, does not have much experience in sovereignty in nation building. that has sent shudders through the spines of the political establishment for a potential, let's say scenario, whereby russia was in and create some kind of a people's republic in northern color on the way they did in ukraine. and you

mentioned the geopolitical situation. you have to keep in mind china that is also sitting right next to conduct on. it is very wary about what is happening across the board because it has its interests. it has its billions of dollars invested in car stock and it receives guess from us, not as well pizza, just to get your thoughts on 3 aspects or 3 areas of discussion that we're getting as you are talking to us. now we're getting reports at the catholic president has been saying he would act as tough as possible. he's also saying he will stay in the capital. he is also saying he takes over as the chairman of the security council, your thoughts on that? well it's in fact that the, the chairman of the security council is the former president. those are by and it looks like now there is decision made at the very top that there is need for very, very strong action so far. and there is precedent for that in the region in the

neighboring was back in 2005, that was an uprising. and john, it was quelled at the cost of hundreds of thousands of dead. and so i think the government is now smelling real trouble. took i have signed the decree ousting the government that has not blockaded the protesters, which means that they're calculating that they will be making a very, very drastic decision. it may involve why, of ammunition against the protesters, and god knows where it will lead. very, very briefly piece of we're almost out of time please. would he have done that? those 3 things that we're now discussing. would he do that unless he thought it would be green lit by the kremlin? if he was to ask the kremlin, do you think this is a good idea? i think he's pretty much has the backing of the kremlin. the kremlin has always been using force against peaceful protesters. ok, we must leave it there. peter. good to get your thoughts on this developing story. peter feel may, if they're talking to us from kiev. thank you. talks to salvage the 2015 nuclear

deal between iran and world powers have resumed today in vienna. it is round number 8 on tuesday, the u. k. prime minister repeated western warnings that time is running out live now to vienna and correspondent dawson jibari. also how the talks shaping up do we think while they seem to be moving forward for the time being, we have seen the delegation that's arrived from south korea. the south korean weiss foreign affairs stepping from the foreign ministry rather arrived in vienna with a delegation. they've been holding meetings with the americans who are here. this is important because south korea is currently holding near the 9000000000 dollars of frozen uranium funds. as a result of us sanctions, this is the 1st tangible step that we've seen that could possibly signal some positive steps in the right direction for the iranians. the south korean,

i have one of the 6 countries that receive special waivers. after the u. s. imposed sanctions on their, on in 2018 because they are heavily reliant under iranian oil. they were able to purchase iranian oil for about 6 months after the sanctions came into place. but they still haven't been able to pay for those purchases they made. and now they owe iran somewhere between $7.00 and $9000000000.00. and there are many sources here tell us that they are hoping to be able to pay iran back. this could be seen as one of the steps the americans are willing to take to allow iran to return to for compliance. this would be one of the incentives. it certainly is one of the most tangible steps we've seen so far. the south koreans have not commented officially yet, but we know that they are here to meeting with the americans and the south korean weiss minister of foreign affairs treated earlier on wednesday that he's here to

hold meetings with very parties and that the korea will render diplomatic assistance as a custodian of the frozen funds and a defender of a nonproliferation treaty indian sources. i reached out to here and said that they're not too thrilled about this. because they don't believe south korea is in a position to call themselves holders of the throes and funds they are supposed to pay iran back. but of course, it's a very complicated situation with where things stand right now between iran and united states at the talks will continue in the coming days. we understand that there are very technical at this stage. of course the ratings are looking for the americans to lift over a 1000 sanctions that they've put in place on her, on since the us left the deal in 2018. the radians also said they are willing to return to full compliance once those sanctions are lifted and now they're at a stage where technical talks are ongoing doors. so thank you very much to us about this or us in vienna. a palestinian man is ending $141.00 days of hunger strike

after a deal was reached to release him from illegal is really detention hisham harsh was arrested without charge more than 14 months ago. his case has provoked angry protest in the occupied westbank. neither abraham is falling proceedings in ramallah, breaking his fast after 141 day hunger strike. he showed up, however, expect to be a free man by the end of february, after these really military agreed not to renew his detention. the deal was reached after talks between palestinian and israeli officials goes on factions with threatening an escalation if he died about this extended battle in which every palestinian mobilized and used all his tools was a successful, strong and influential battle through them. and through our national unity and cohesion around the prisoners and their issues, we affirm that we can achieve victory. the 40 year old father of 5 was 1st arrested,

an october of 2020 and was subject to israel's policy up administrative detention, which allows palestinians to be held indefinitely without charges palestinian human rights. organizations say israel has issued 1600 administrative detention orders last year. there has been an increasing the use of hunger strike as a way to combat this one is the 60 palestinian prisoners have underwent hunger strike in the year 2021. the majority of them were facing administrative detention and all have been able to deal to set the deadline to their administrative detention palestinians, organized social media campaigns to highlight the prisoners issue. some started hunger strikes and solidarity, and others took to the streets in the occupied west bank, the gaza strip, and up and on. they want an end to these really detentions. we think that's

obviously in fact, as we resolved, as a good thing we have as a matter of principle always i spoke, it's been very clear in st. had people who are detained or should be tried charge and tried in accordance with due process or released, and that has been our, our position on administrative detention. the palestinian prisoners club says $500.00 prisoners in israeli jails, including 4 miners are held without charges. some of them have been imprisoned for 15 years ago, where she is expected to return to his family next month. but the practice of detention without charges is far from over there for him. l just either the occupied westbank time. he will, whether his jeff hello good to see. we have had some devastating flooding across southern pakistan in the port city of ardour, record rainfall, flood waters destroyed hundreds of homes. and so hundreds of people displays. and

we could see another round of flood flooding rains here on 3rd states were that southwest corner of boxed on. now this rain is leaking into northwestern india is while so good rad roger. stand lots of protection. so pradesh, we'll see some intense rain hear thunder storms, even some hail to be expected south of that. we're into the sunshine. the ne monsoon not is active as it has been over the last few days. so what that means is sunny's spells for time on the do tonight is got a high of $29.00 degrees. we have seen flooding also across the northeast of sumatra, and still heavy rain coming natur. also intense rain, west java, and for northern sections of borneo central china. since we're looking pretty good, we do have some rain locked in between the gang, see and the pearl river valley. so sherry day in grey lynn with the high 13 degrees and a bit of a breather from the snow for western japan, but not for too long because this batch of snow. and the water is between korea and japan will make its way to western japan by the time we get toward friday. and now

you're up to date again soon. take care bye. among the stories coming out here on the news or a landmark deal is made in canada to help her tone for the past miss treatments of indigenous people. you must judge, reveals more about when a key ruling will be made in the sex abuse case against britons, prince andrew and, and sport. i'm of the twist to this belgian stars up and done relationship with chelsea football. ah frank assessments, this crisis is continued to weaken luca shenker, even though perhaps he believes in the beginning that it looks thank for informed opinions. i think politicians will now be under incredible pressure from their young people. that is one of the most hopeful things to come out of this critical debate. do you think i should be facilitated? not sure. ok, it's a great, it's a really simple question. let's give samuel

a child swans that inside story on al jazeera al jazeera sex, the stage, a lot of women carrying very young children. this one, for example, is only a month and a half global expect and discussion. telephone thing about the impact on the climate change is having on the fathers that you work with. voices from different corners. when the whales are empty, people fight for programs that open your eyes to a low, tentative v. i then have collage and i have my voice on al jazeera lou. ah,

welcome back. it's exactly how past the hour you're watching. the news i live from dog top stories, the french parliament was suspended overnight after the president emanuel macaroni made some controversial remarks targeting people who are unvaccinated. the government is trying to push through a bill that would make vaccination compulsory to access public venues. india's bracing for another wave of corona virus, as it's reported more than $58000.00 new cases in 24 hours in what's been called the 3rd wave with the pandemic. that's twice the number seen only 4 days ago to be one 3rd of a new delhi and from by hong kong is bounding flights from 8 countries, including australia, the u. s. and the u. k. as it battles rise, included 19 cases. officials fear the only chrome variant could be spreading undetected. brit clinic has more forest from hong kong. this is certainly the most extensive that we've seen and it really goes to show the extent of that or the hong kong government is keen on stamping out armor chron. i spoke to

a top epidemiologist in hong kong advisor. ivan hung earlier. he said that these cut in the measures were very necessary in order to keep the virus at bay. and to really by the government time, because vaccination rates aren't at where they want them to be. they hang around 70 percent. but if you look at the only population over 80, that's only around 20 percent. so this is about buying time to boost those rates. the hong kong government had planned a to introduce these measures next month, but they have been brought forward. and let's not forget it's chinese year, 3 weeks away from now. so these measures are supposed to be implemented for 2 weeks . chinese new year is, are looking a bit touch and go for now. but the hope is is that people will still be able to meet, at least for some kind of festivities, to welcome in the new year. meanwhile, about 2 and a half 1000 passengers being held on a cruise ship for testing. the authorities say the identified 9 passengers who her close contact with someone who is positive, they'll be sent to a quarantine center. all efforts are made to determine if anyone else on board

house the virus, the shipping box on sunday, and was originally due to return on thursday for the micron bearing symptoms make it very different to his predecessors. the south african doctor who 1st alerted the authorities to the strain has said muscle aches, fatigue, a scratchy throat, a night, time sweats are common symptoms. and while patience infected with previous variants reported a loss of taste and smell, that seems to have disappeared with omicron. there also has been no major drop in oxygen levels in the lungs of our micron positive patience. the world health organization says omicron does appear to be affecting only the upper respiratory tract. previous strains would attack the lungs, causing severe pneumonia. dr patrick tang as the division chief of microbiology at the citric medical center here in castle. he explains now why the severity of the symptoms of on the crone will be different in each country. i think the effects of the cranberries are going to be different in different countries and maybe even

different within different regions of our country because of the heterogeneity of immunity in the population. so if you're in a country with a higher vaccination rate than and maybe a recent way of, of delta infection, so that everyone has already high levels of preexisting community been effective on kind of to be different. then in a region or a country that has low vaccination and, and has not had the effect of the delta v area in the recent time. so i think there is going to be some different that strategies to approach the different country depending on the situation in which they are in. but overall we have to pay that, that we are lucky with this barrier compared to the previous period. there is absolutely no reason why the virus would want to evolve into last year or even a more severe version of itself because that's not really linked. he that he was

deb alicia. and so we are very lucky that the highly visible virus is also that you're going to bury your country that's already been hit by a large on conway. and the majority is that the rate of transmission and rate the disease in your country are a higher within the people that are coming in and then make no, no sense to restrict travel into your country when other places have lower rates, the transmission. and also if you have high levels of immunity either from delta infection, from homer, con infection and vaccination, then the virus on on hea. health will not be back to your for your, for your country and make more than to maintain the normal function by the, in our economy. by not restricting travel. south korean military says north korea

has fired at least one ballistic missile towards the sea on wednesday of the countries east coast. it previously tested one in october last week, the leader there kim john own bout to continue building up north korea's military capabilities. south korea. meanwhile, has been pushing for a formal end to the korean war. a rocket has its an iraqi military base hosting you our soldiers, no casualties have been reported them. it happened near baghdad international airport. there have been several attempted attacks on us forces in iraq in recent days. they coincide with the 2nd anniversary of the killing of the top iranian general cas emsella mani who was assassinated by the u. s. in baghdad. a canadian court has ordered iran to pay $84000000.00 to the families of those killed in the dining of a plane and 2020 iran said it shot down the passenger jet during high tensions off to slim on his assassination. all 176 people on board were killed. many of them were canadian citizens or residence canada's working to make amends for his past

involving the poor and abusive treatment of indigenous people. the government says it will pay just over $30000000000.00 to compensate those taken as children from their families and put into state care jody vans has that story from vancouver. this is history making in canada, a press conference to announce a milestone in addressing mistreatment and discrimination against 1st nations families. i'm very pleased to announce that canada and the parties have agreed to significant agreements and principal one that provides fair and equitable compensation to 1st nations children and families harmed by discriminatory under funding. and the other addressing the long term term reform that's needed for the 1st nations child and family services program. ah, it's been almost 15 years since canada as human rights tribunal, ruled child and family services had discriminated against 1st nations children leaving hundreds of thousands,

suffering trauma and spiraling into poverty. billions in compensation, in an agreement in principle, and still for those affected. it is mostly an important step forward. we have a long way to go to address the poverty in our nations. and no amount of money will ever be the right amount, nor will it bring back a childhood last. but today is about acknowledgments about being seen and heard children taken from their families and put into a system under funded and ill equipped to deliver the basics of life, led to generational trauma, harm and loss. this milestone announcement cannot turn back the clock, but if solidified by the deadline, will build the framework. the agreement, in principle we assigned today will support 1st nations children so that they can have the same opportunities to grow up with their families and communities thriving through their cultures and languages. as a next step and a difficult one,

come to back in 2009. in that agreement, he epstein agreed to pay to fray a half $1000000.00. and in exchange, she agreed not to pursue charges against any other quote potential defendants in the case. so lawyers for the prince has argued that that means she can't sue him, but her lawyers push back against that, saying that the agreement does not apply. in this case, because that was in a different court jurisdiction in florida in a state course. the judge, hearing the arguments, actually pushed back very strongly against the defense prince andrew attorneys and offered another argument pointing to another clause in the agreement which said that any other person was barred from using that agreement. in another court case

and see this suggests that he thought prince andrew perhaps could not use this agreement to get the case thrown out. so it's all very technical legal, procedural arguments. at the end of the day, the judge said he would make his decision very soon and this decision will determine whether or not the case proceeds to an actual trial. now the united nations in new york diplomats are facing what shipping up to be another challenging year from conflict to climate change on the ongoing pandemic. 2022 is likely to present many challenges to peace and security al jazeera step fanatic editor james bay's looks now at what lies ahead. on the 1st official day of business at the united nations this year, the new members of the security council present their flags, albania, brazil, gabon gonna. and the united arab emirates will be part of the 15 member body for
