as built up over 4 days and stretched from a zanna zen in the west, through to the country's largest city of mattie in the east, where government buildings were stormed and set on fire. or police expend describes those involved as attackers and said dozens were killed. the interior ministry says more than 2000 people were arrested. and officials and almighty claim making police officers and national officers are dead. peacekeeping troops from a russian lead alliance are now on the ground at the request of that president. okay. and robin forest walker is following developments from tbilisi in georgia, cause it's don's government calls. it's an antique terror operation, military units on the streets of cassock, stones largest city al. matty authorized to use lethal force against protesters. earlier, some of the protesters overran police units and distributed weapons. security

forces have confirmed at least 18 officers killed in more than $700.00 wounded. the number of civilians dead or wounded is unknown, but video circulating on social media appears to show morgues, filling up with bodies. this is violence on a scale not seen in cassock stones, modern history including mass looting of businesses. fuel price rises provided the spark, but these protests are about long standing and legitimate grievances, economic and political stagnation. and the corrupt authoritarian elite anger across the country has been directed at the official leader of the nation. first president nozzle turned as a bi of his statue toppled in the city of talbot called gun. is whereabouts

peace robin for astir walker al jazeera. while there has been reaction internationally and the un says, people's right to protest peacefully must be protected. we've seen the press reports, it's hard for us to to confirm them. but what is, what is clear is that all demonstrations or need to be peaceful. people have a right to express the grievances, it needs to be done peacefully and security forces need to protect that right. oh and, and show and act with restraint. and i think it's a sentiment also echoed by the high commissioner for human rights. i think for us, the important thing is that a security forces, whether they are cassock or whether they are non causes, troops need to uphold the same a human rights standards, which is to show restraint and protect people's rights to demonstrate peacefully or

dr. diana could better get over is a political sociologist from a mighty in catholic stone. her research at cambridge university is focused on nationalism and regimes. she joins us now by skype. madam, thank you so much for joining us here. and i'll just say are now you are speaking to us from the u. k, but i presume you've been trying to reach out to family of friends and colleagues in my income style. how much luck are you having? and what are they saying? if you are getting through thank you. thank you for how are in tonight? yes, i've been finally able to reach my, my family and my friends. it's been a very long sort of 24 hour blockage where we couldn't reach anybody. and the news that i'm getting is, well, you know, one of my family members, it's very close to, to the square itself. and there are a lot of gunfire shots that basically are not stopping through tonight and through throughout the day. so it's very alarming and very worried at the mom. i mean,

how do you read? i mean, alarming and worrying obviously from a country that tends to be or has tend to be relatively stable for the obvious problems that were there in the background. but how do you read the escalation of violence and especially the reaction that we're having now with so called peacekeepers coming in from the russian block? yes, i'm closely monitoring everything that is going on. and obviously the main violence seems right now coming in from a lottery, but it's also very important to remember that the process is ongoing and disposed to largely piece one. that's how they started, that they were always peaceful, all of all across products and, and all sorts of different cities and regions. but unfortunately, yes, and the, the situation has escalated and we're seeing a lot of violent groups. that seems to be, that seems to be organized, and these violent groups have nothing to do with the peaceful processes. so the latest that i've been receiving from some of the eye witnesses not to this on the ground, is that the piece brought us. there's a trying to, you know, grade the post thursday, basically painting with whatever they have and they, they,

they, they bringing out these, this posted by thing. we are the peaceful process, those we are the ordinary folk. we are not the terrorist so that they trying to identify to the police and law enforcement and other troops that all of the gods for these troops did not shoot them. because we need to, we need to clearly draw the line between different forces on the ground that that piece will protest this with just one, you know, political changes and they are voicing their grievances. and then there are these and identified unclear group. it's not really clear where they're coming from, very violent groups of rioters that i taking in season opportunity. and they are being very, very violent that they bringing the violence on a lot of lore, inforcement, and, and other civilians. and it's very, very important to draw this line to, to mentioned that the protest is not homogeneous, that are all sorts of growth groups involved. and the peaceful protest is actually targeted by now, both by the riotous. and by the way, you paint a sort of a complicated picture of the reality on the ground that it has to be said. i think

we have to clarified for viewers. we're getting a lot of the information from the government, from the authority. so for example, the dead when it comes to police officer or interior officer is but we don't necessarily have that many people on the ground or are able to get much information out, which i'm assuming he'll agree, makes the the be understanding of what's going on. much more difficult. exactly, and i think that's, that's very important right now. you know that we don't get so much information because locally the internet is blocked and very few people have access to with communicating with outside world. and people are feeling very, very anxious. we still don't know how many casualties among the civilians or among the people who are not like, you know, one basic, not the more inforcement offices. we will probably get the numbers in coming days, but people are reporting the eye. witnesses reporting that there are certain a lot of injured people on the grounds and a lot of, of which the a lot of people as well, they're trying to, how worried are you that this could continue to escalate?

oh, oversee in this situation. it can, you can, you know, go in any direction and we are very worried obviously it's, it's unprecedented violence school and motor cars history. and i mean, we've been hearing of course, that the stark, the catalyst was the increase in fuel prices. a lot of people rebuilding for it, but it obviously then threw up a lot of underlying issues that had been variable, arguably for decades and decades. how much did you feel that as an undercurrent in catholic style, when you were they are the conversations that you had before this latest flare up of violence? well, i've been, i've been doing my research largely on, on the, on the process in convention politics. since, you know, since the movement started in 2019, and my latest research is actually about social movements emerged after, for the most part of the 1st president resigned in march 2019. and as you know, the grievances have been in on the ground full, but least

a decade. we've been going through a number of economic crisis. the process have been ongoing, they would just think it, there will always localize specific areas in specific city like general and then for example, like what their list of causes been and so on. but right now they just became massive because this is like, you know, professor saw as a, as an opportunity to do to voice the grievances, especially like, you know, with all the things with the corruption, with the ongoing, you know, the resume that is unable and the government that is unable to hear the phone population. there are a lot of like, you know, the well, with the lack of dialogue. there are a lot of these problems with translating back and forth the grievances from the people in the claims and for the government, the one that got sacked to understand the grievances and respond to them in the very bottom. you know, effective way that this is, this is an ongoing problem, the hikes and practice, which is the trigger that allowed for these process throughout. but this is a very, very long term problem that we had to address. at some point dr. diana could there, but again, of political sociologist the originally from

a mighty and catholic friend, but speaking to us from cambridge university in the u. k. madam, thank you so much. thank you. coming up on al jazeera, this news, our optimism from the ran on a nuclear treaty. the foreign minister tells us agreement can be reached if the western nations really wanted pouring fuel on the fire of community anger. thousands of protests there is returned to sedans, streets enraged by the ongoing political crisis and in sport. another australian cricketer is jumping for joy in the ashes, a series against england. ah, you as president joe biden has described his predecessor as a threat to democracy on the 1st anniversary of the storming of capitol hill. the january 6th riots saw the government building ransacked by

a mob of pro from supporters and the ensue in chaos left. 5 people dead, including one police officer. alan fisher has more from the white house. it was a challenge to his presidency before he even became president. and one year on from the right at capitol hill, jo, bite mark beyond the varsity with a speech to the nation. for the 1st time in our history, president had not just lost an election. he tried to prevent the peaceful transfer of power as a violent mob reached the capital, but they failed. the crowd marched on the heart of democracy in the us to challenge the certification of the 2020 presidential election. donald trump claimed he'd been cheated and were going to the capital and fueled by anger and lies. his supporters spoke battles across capitol hill as they tried to stop congress doing its job.

this wasn't a group tourist. this is an armed insurrection. but this moment that this challenge to american democracy has not brought the country together. instead president biden's speech, just shoot the fracture in us politics. we must decide. what kind of nation are we going to be? already going to be a nation that lives not by the light of the truth or the shadow of lies. many republicans opted not to attend the event. some claiming democrats were politicizing the attack. others because they were afraid of offending donald trump . the former president himself was due to hold a news conference in florida on the anniversary he canceled. he was told it would look bad. he did issue a statement saying joe biden was using him to deflect from the awful job he was doing as president and was seeking to divide the country. trump continues to claim without evidence that the election was stolen that he won the election. the

american democracy still has to come to terms with him. his supporters. oh, on the de, the storm, the capital. i'll and fisher. i'll just do the white house. that's cross to john hendrick now right on that capital a hell, a john? good to see of course you are reporting live exactly, or go on air together and very different. today there are a number of memorials and vigils going beyond those being held by government. officials. tell us a little bit about what we can expect. what you're right, this is an entirely different crowd right behind me barbara a year ago today. it was down this mall that many of those people marched in favor of trump, trying to get the vote overturned at the capital behind me. today, there are a number of vigils, not just here, but across the country. the group that is organizing this. it includes dozens of different organizations where they include liberal organizations such as move on

and black voters matter. and they're taking advantage of this opportunity a year later, after the effort to subvert democracy, to promote voting rights. they want to expand voting rights and have congress passed a number of safeguards it, as states are curtailing those rights. so a very liberal group here going to have a group of progressive and liberal speakers, every one of them, a democrat, many members of congress and some representatives of other groups. but this is really kind of a celebration of the success of democracy, but it will be a candlelight vigil. so there's a sense of somberness about this. then in a couple of hours, we'll move on to the dc jail where a group of trump's reporters will be outside of this jail in jails and 35 sites from hawaii to florida. in order to support those people who've been arrested for participating in that insurrection. so we've, we've got an array of activities going on, but it's pretty different than it was

a year ago today. and john, like we were mentioning you were there a year ago today. describe what you saw and also, especially when you learned that the capital was in danger. how does that compare to what you're seeing today? it was surreal. barbara and i was covering the trump speech at the time and there were some fiery rhetoric coming from the podium. but we were used to that. the crowd was very, very large. but also pretty quiet when things starting to look like something might be going on. as i noticed that people had gathered their backpacks all together and there were groups of people carrying the gear while the people themselves were marching separately. so there was organization going on there beyond just people sort of traveling in from the suburbs and after that event, we had completed a live shot. and i was getting calls from people saying something's going on the capital, our own patty calhane was over there saying they and shut it down. so we went to

the capital and saw these giant enormous crowns outside of the building, climbing up on the scaffolding. that's no longer there and then i witnessed as they broke into the side of that building and was very shocked at just the lack of police force that was there at the time. now, the new head of that police force says they could repel a crown like that. now, they have beefed up that force and they're adding new people, though he says they're still understaffed. but what's interesting is, today we're seeing nothing like that on this anniversary, where you might expect people who want to cause trouble to celebrate the van event . we're not seeing a whole lot of that. we'll see if that changes throughout the course of today. but it's been unusually quiet and somber here today. barbara john hendrick with the latest from capitol hill. john, thank you. while americans are divided about what exactly happened a year ago, polling by the washington post than the university of maryland suggested that the

majority of americans considered the protest are to be mostly violent and half would favor harsher punishments for those who broke into the building. nearly a 3rd of americans, though, believe in the big lie that joe biden was not legitimately elected president of the united states. and the believe that there is solid evidence of widespread voter fraud in the 2020 election. other polling by political and morning consult shows that americans want to know what happened on the 6th, including 40 percent of republicans, while 44 percent disapprove of the committee's work. well, joe walsh is a former republican congressman. he joins us by skype from new york journal, georgia. it's good to see you. i remember a year ago, a lot of us were just watching those pictures thinking this would be the tipping point. this would be the moment when a lot of republicans would disavow tromping and reject them. but i mean, looking at the stats that i've just read, it paints the picture of

a country not just divided, but we're trump really has a lot of support and effectively controls the republican party. good to be with you . if i had said to you a year ago that in a year, donald trump's hold over the republican party will be stronger now than it was a day before january 6. i think you and i would have been startled, but that's the truth. that's the scary truth, a year removed from a violent attempt to overturn an election. donald trump's hold on the republican party is stronger, so the scare a so the scary truth is one of america's 2 major political parties is now completely radicalized and fully anti democracy. and it's interesting though, because in the past he of course he hasn't been president anymore, so he doesn't have that podium in that. that being able to hold press conferences,

he was kicked off twitter, so he doesn't have that platform. so how exactly easy reaching out, why do you think support is consolidating behind him? well, look at what you and i are talking about today. and i would argue that more than 50 percent of the coverage in america today on this solemn anniversary is trump, trump, trump. and it's been that way for the past year. he may not have twitter, but he still got fox news. you know, he may not have you tube or facebook, but he can issue a statement every day and still be talked about every day in then you add all of his sick of fans on fox news and in conservative talk radio. echoing every dishonest on american thing, trump says it's, it's easy to understand why the republican party is still in his thrall. and

you know, you are a republican politically by you reject trump. there must be a lot of republicans like you that believe in the values, but don't like the man. so where have the democrats failed in perhaps trying to appeal to them and, and capitalize on the fact that they had an insurrection a year ago. well, and that's, that's part of the problem. we're no longer republicans. there are plenty like me who left the republican party because if you're anti donald trump, there's no place in this party. now, the democrats in america have a wonderful opportunity to grab all of us. um, but they're not doing that, but what's important now i think is this issues don't matter. i'm still a conservative, but i'm lacking arms with democrats because right now it's all about trying to defend our democracy. so even though i disagree with democrats on

a whole host to issues, we put all that aside. now we're in a fight to shave our democracy. mean you say that, i mean, of course the fight is coming up pretty soon with the mid terms that they could see the republicans a when both house and senate city think at an a republicans conservative is like you people that perhaps ideologically or not democrats would vote for the democrats and you think a lot of those people would abstain? no, most of us will still vote for democrats and i will still do because they're the only other game in town. so i will still do everything i can as a conservative to elect democrats. but here's the problem. republicans will probably do well this year, because democrats and young people will not come out and vote 81000000 people voted for joe biden last year. most of them will not come out this year. if they come out, republicans will lose,

but it's going to be difficult to get them out. we heard some pretty strong words from joe biden at, they not mentioning trump by name, that obviously mentioning i him, what did you make of it? and do you think that effectively biden has failed in the past year? i was screaming to myself, listening to biding today. i was screaming to myself. why didn't you deliver this speech a year ago? this the anger that he felt today, and he didn't use trump's name, but what he said was, donald trump is an enemy to this country. he's an enemy to democracy, spot on that. would that a days from our own truly think that would have made a difference if he made that kind of speech a year ago? yeah, i really do. i really do believe that joe biden and the democrats after biden won, they took their eyes off the prize and they have not, they have,

most americans have not understood the emergency that we're living under right now . when i say it's a battle for our democracy, it really is. we need to hear that from the democrats in leadership. it was good to hear that from biden today will be interesting to see if we hear that kind of tone more between now and the mid terms that joe walsh, former republican. congressman sir, always good to talk to you. thank you. thank you. novak joke of which his parents have come out fighting on behalf of their son. his mother says, authorities are treating him like a prisoner joker, which his chances of playing at the australian open this month now depend on a court decision border authorities refused to accept ciocca, which his medical exemption for not being vaccinated. andrew simmons has more. oh, so the serbian parliament in belgrade protest is jones in support of their national

to that. what not now is that this is a political persecution that everyone is taking part into even your strain and prime minister jock of each had thought the path was clear for his attempt to the 21st grand slam. instead, he faces what could be a road block, and with it a world wide debate on whether he's been fairly treated and re simmons al jazeera. still to come with al jazeera, this news, our mission to better understand the doomsday. iglesia, how underwater robots could help prevent a climate change as asked in sport cove at 19 is having a big impact on many teams arriving in cameroon for the africa cup of nations. ah. hello,

that feeling very wintry across europe at the moment and there's more winter weather to come. to end the week we've got to main areas of action, a weather system bringing rain sleet and snow to the northwest and storms continuing to plague that south east corner. but across the central areas, there is some clear whether to be found, but we are going to see more snow moving as we will move into the weekend. now let's have a look at the north west. we've got some heavy rain and snow moving in across britain, an island. we got warnings out for snow and ice for northern areas of england and scotland in heavy rain sweeping in from the west. we could see some possible flooding from that. rose much of scandinavia, however it remains while the wintry we're going to see temperatures come down while they do pick up in places like london. but it will turn rather cold in st. petersburg, the temperature sitting at minus 12. no further south of this. there is some sunshine and better, more settled conditions to be found across the southwest for spain and portugal. but we are seeing those storms can once again for greece and turkey,

thunderstorms as well for southern parts of italy. it's looking very wet here. athens seeing the temperature at 17 degrees celsius, not very sunny here. it's going to be rather wet through the weekend. ah. the war in afghanistan is now old. will non taliban figures make up a part of that a marriage and you can only port within the taliban and leave it? there will be a powerful having to tell about the inside story podcast. a frank assessment of the days headlines subscribe. now however you listen to podcast, the listening post cuts through the noise, we're talking about competing now with the modern day tools being used to

perpetuate those competing narratives, separating spin from fuck all 3 versions of the story and some element of the truth . but the full story remains and content on the parking the stories you're being told, it's not a science story at all. it's a story about politics. the listening post, your guide to the media. on a jesse 0, lou ah, a reminder now of the top stories on al jazeera, a russian led military alliance is deploying thousands of troops to kazakhstan as violence on the streets as escalated for a 4th fe. thousands of anti government capacitors have been killed, as well as at least 18 members of kazakhstan security forces. but

oh, protests had been taking place in serbia after the sporting hero, their noble joker, which was refused entry to australia to defend his open tennis title. because he is not vaccinated. and on the 1st anniversary of the storming of capitol hill, u. s. president joe biden has described this predecessor, donald trump has a threat to democracy. he warned that trump's continuing claims of voter fraud could undermine future elections. us vice president, pamela harris says, said the events of january 6th last year represented both the strength and fragility of democracy. how will january 6 come to be remembered in the years ahead? will it be remembered as a moment that accelerated the unraveling of the oldest,

greatest democracy in the world or a moment when we decided to secure and strengthen our democracy for generations to come? well, john nichols is in the national affairs correspondent for the nation and the also of the fight for the soul of the democratic party. he joins us from madison, wisconsin by skype. sir, thank you so much for joining us here in al jazeera, we just heard there from capital harris. we heard some clips from joe biden, a little bit earlier. what did you make of what they said, and i guess how they said it. well, i think they both spoke very boldly, much more boldly been american presidents usually do, and american vice president, circumstance like this. we have something of a tradition in our country of not criticizing your predecessor, at least not doing so directly. and there's no question that president biden did

that today with was president trump, so that was newsworthy, and the speeches were strong. i will tell you though, i'm not sure that in our very divided country, that they're going to move a lot of sending one way or the other. we were listening to some stats earlier about the way americans view the events of january 6 and you're right. it is incredibly divided. do you think that perhaps the democrats, joe biden could have capitalized on the events of january 6, a bit more, and it was an insurrection, and a lot of people were horrified, or at least deeply surprised. do you think that was a failure from him? well, i think that to be honest, you sailed from the start on this and this goes back a year. the president should have made this a central theme of his tenure from when he was sworn. it didn't mean that he had to every day attack donald trump or to know constantly recount every aspect of it. but this president should have had a hard, strong focus on the threat to democracy that,

that the crew attempt ppos and on the ongoing threat to democracy there is playing out space across the country. he didn't do that, he's been far too conciliatory, frankly, and the end result is that there's a lack of clarity. and so you have a tremendous number of people who today see january 6th as a, you know, kind of a matter event. not something as dramatic as it really was. and i think that to some extent, that does fall to joe biden. you can of course blame donald trump for continuing the so called big lie and for some of your supporters for continuing to push their line. but at the end of the day, if you look at the how the american project works, you have to have a counterbalance, and i think that binds your artist and you've been very soft as regards counterbalancing. donald trump and, and trump's republican supporters. you know, today we're obviously looking back to last year,

but also looking forward to the mid terms and of course, the election in 2024. how do you see the democrats approaching that? how do you think that the crafts should approach both the mid terms and then who should be the candidate in 2024? well, there's a lot of questions at all. very important, one of look is that's begin with the midterms. there is simply no question that these mid term elections are going to be very difficult for the democrats. midterms usually are tough for the party in power and so they often lose seats in this case . however, because the democratic majorities in the house and senate are so narrow, the loss of just a handful of seats in the house and have just one seat in the senate would take away president biden's ability to govern. you would attractively be a lame doctor. the last 2 years of his term. so what the democrats need to do is to emphasize how vitally important these mid term elections are. they have to make them a central theme. and the best way to do that is by doing what binded today to talk

about what to stay with also by governing effectively. and that's been a really hard problem for the democrats because they are not a united party. they have jo mansion, the senator from west virginia, christ and cinema, the senator from arizona. we've been very resistant to working with the rest of the party on their agenda. and so as a result, they're in a tough situation. but do think by speech is some sense, give some sense of a willingness to bite. ok, and then i suppose if i can just repeat one of the, the, the other questions for 2024. you think it should be biden or capital harris or someone else? i look at this point, joe biden will have the nomination if he wants it. it is the tradition of our parties, and it's pretty strongly rooted if joe biden steps steps back. i think it's likely to be an open race, even though commonly harris is the vice president. she has not been a particularly high profile vice president up to this point. so i think there's a likelihood that you'd see other people get in. perhaps someone like sen shared brown from ohio who is very popular in, in some of the battleground states,

or frankly, some other younger member of the party. but i don't think that if i can stand down that there is an assurance that the presidency would be handed on to come. harris. so nichols at national affairs correspondent for the nation speaking to us for madison in wisconsin. sir, thank you for your time. it's a great pleasure to be with you. thank you. iran's foreign minister has told al jazeera that a nuclear agreement can be reached, the if western parties have the will and the intention to do so. an 8th round of talks is underway in vienna. what iran wants guarantees that you, a sanctions will be lifted on iranian oil sales, missouri to rock that amongst the 8 round of the van and go see ations, put them back on the right track and a good agreement can be reached if the western parties possessed a real will an intention lifting sanctions means lifting all forms of sanction stipulated in the nuclear agreement and the sanctions that trump re imposed. and

that contradict terms of the agreement. and the latter is in disputed negotiations . we demand guarantees that include not imposing any new sanctions and not re imposing sanctions after lifting them under any pretext. we see that the simplest practical model for this would be when it comes to us exporting oil and obtaining revenues through our banking system. that's an informal and indirect exchange of messages with the americans in vienna. we had good words from their delegation. but what is important for us is to see practical and serious american actions. there are such a barry is in vienna for us for the resumption of the talks. this is the 1st interview. they newly appointed foreign minister has given to an international and use outlets and he seemed quite optimistic. he said that at the talks are still ongoing. it's a good sign that this round is much different than the previous round because the technical issues and the logistical issues they had over the agenda has been

resolved this around the 8th round is now moving forward with what they are actually going to be deciding about in terms of how the sanctions will be lifted in which sanctions and the foreign minister was very specific about iran's position and he gave some very am it good examples of what they're looking for when they say iran wants it? sanctions this anxious to be lifted and he explained that the sanctions that were supposed to be lifted under 2015 nuclear deal as agreed upon need to be lifted as well as the additional sanctions that came into effect. after did you, i left a deal in 2018 and he gave an example of how that would be verified by the iranians . and that would be when iran is able to sell its oil on the international market and receive payment through its own banks. right now, iran is not able to sell its oil on the international market because of heavy us sanctions. and south korea was one of the countries that is heavily reliant on a raining oil. and when those sanctions were imposed in 2018, they received

a special waiver from the u. s. government. but that waiver ran out after a few months and they has yet to pay iran for the oil that they purchased. then they owe iranians over $70000000000.00, and there is an delegation here in vienna from south korea speaking to the americans. and they also met with the iranians here on thursday to discuss how to move forward and how to overcome at some of the hurdles that they have about paying or on in the foreign minister pointed out that this would be an example. it would be a sign by the americans that they are serious about returning to the nuclear deal. and of course iran would also do the same in terms of limiting its nuclear activities and returning to compliance. at least 3 people are believed has been killed in protests in sudan as thousands returned to the streets to voice their anger against the continuing political crisis. security forces have fire to tear gas had demonstrators and internet in mobile services have been disrupted. protest

eat at restaurants, go to public events or travel on into a city trains. natasha butler has more from paris. it's not a surprise because the government has a majority in the lower house of parliament. the bill than now goes to the senate and it may go back to the parliament before probably coming into law in the middle of january. what it means for people is that the unvaccinated population will no longer have access to things like restaurants, cafes, leisure facilities, everyday life for them will certainly become a lot harder now. the bill i was finding a provide parliament there has to be said up to 3 incredibly in days of debate in the parliament. often chaotic scenes, overshadowed also by the french presence rather controversial comments on wednesday when he said that he was going to really tight in the screws and go off to unvaccinated people in france. what they are doing is they are betting on this

vaccine policy as a way to try and persuade the last they say 5000000 adults are eligible for the faxing to go and get immune eyes and look, they're looking at the records of the current health pulse now the health pulse was put in place by the government last year as persuaded you might say, some 90 percent of people to get vaccinated before that health pulse is necessary to go to a restaurant or a bar only 3040 percent of people in france that that they want to get vaccine. as soon as that policy was put in place, people rushed to get their jobs. the governments are hoping that's going to be the same thing now that it will force people to go and get vaccinated, whether it will not. of course, we don't know. but the health minister did say on wednesday that some 66000 people had actually registered for their 1st dose of a covey vaccine. so they see that as an encouraging sign leader is in the chinese city of shyanne, the se,

comparison, the glazier is almost the size of britain. karen haywood is a lead scientist on this project and explains what it is that they're trying to uncover. it's an enormous gas yet. and if it did completely melts, then it would lead to $65.00 centimeters, a global sea level. so spread across the globe. but we don't think that's going to happen in your lifetime of mine. nonetheless, it's really important to understand when it might start to collapse. but what we think is happening is that the relatively warm sea water is, is impacting on the base of the sea, of the, of the ice shelf and, and is accelerating the melting of it. and, and that's important because that i shop is kind of propping up the whole glass. yeah. and if we lose a bit of ice from the floating bit,

ease. we're all dealing with the cova. in fact, i think everybody's feeling it so i don't want to make it simply about me and simply about, you know, someone lesson in the rules for me. i just, i know that i know what the consequences where i still know they are. but right now i'm just going to take it one day at a time, i guess it and just enjoy this time that i get to play with my guys. and you know however it looks later in the season will address the tampa bay. buccaneers have released antonio brown. it follows his mid game walk off during an nfl game on sunday. brown says he left the field because of an ankle injury and claims. the franchise treated him like an animal in esteem in the buck and he said he was cleared to play by our medical team and at no point during the game that indicate that he couldn't play covered 19, having a big impact from many that seemed arriving in cameron for footballs, ask a cup of nations cynical, one of the favorites to win the title of the scott had to delay their flight into
