a positive environment around him to kind of rude to that community that he was interested in the go see ation on resolution. does the conflict? in fact, he continued doing what he had been doing, which is bombing on trying to advance about me terribly interested. right. as we speak, eric john and troops are trying to enter into, to write just to grant. i've managed to, to want to resist me. china has reported the 1st on the kron cases in the northern coastal city of jan. jen, which board is vision, health officials, at least 2 people there been infected with a highly transmissible variant authorities and began math testing the in the city of 14000000, the winter olympic games the juice of begin in beijing and naval venues. and on the 4 weeks now, india as reported

a another 160000 new cases in the last 24 hours. that's a 7 month high cities of introduce restrictions, including night curfews as the country battles, the surge in army con infections. poverty middle joins is now from new delhi pav. probably this is a state by state restrictive process is by no means a national strategy. is it not at all, even during the 2nd wave, india had, you know, the central government had ruled out as of a nation wide loc done. and this time to it has reached out to states asking them to do micro containment. and also impose restrictions based on how the stairs are varying individually. now, in terms of the hardest hit stead, that is the state of my russia, which is in western india, it has introduced new restrictions earlier. it had kept gatherings. now it has

introduced in night curfew and also closed on schools and colleges for a month, jims and salons have also been closed and capacities have been slashed in restaurants and shopping malls. the state has also asked private offices to have half the employees work from home. the hardest hit city is the capital of my russia, which is mom, buy in just financial hub that for 2 straight days. breach that $20000.00 mark in you cases that it says is a record for the city. since the beginning of the pandemic clause behind is the national capital where we are, it also reached that 20000 mark in new cases. we are in a weekend curfew. 1 over here, which kicked in on saturday and we'll be in place until further notice. earlier the, our government of delhi had also closed on schools, gems, and also slash restaurant capacities. now locked downs and sort of logged downs are

in place in southern india as well in the state of thumb. and not there is a lockdown on sundays and in the state of co, not to guard. there is a we can curfew, just like what we have in new delhi for the next 2 weekends as of now, nor state government or has said that they're looking into it for locked down. because hospitalizations and jets have not search, even as cases have continued to ride rapidly across the country. but we're also coming into a period of state elections, how they're going to keep people off the streets and outs of raleigh's. so that is the big development, you know, for the 1st time in, in just democratic histories. history of rallies and road shows have been suspended . the authorities said that this suspension will be in place for a week, and they will take a call on whether this has to be extended after that. now,

india is headed for key state elections that start in a month. the most critical of these is in the northern state of a 3rd for the ish which is in the us most popular state. and also politically speaking, the most critical ones. now, this had become a huge talking point in india because, you know, most of the country is under some form of restrictions. but the political establishment kept hosting these rallies, massive crowds where you know, over 19 protocols, x, social distancing and masking, were not idea do. in fact, leaders had been caught out for being a responsible. last week, daily's chief minister had tested positive ed day after he held a mass rally and he got absolutely no sympathy from people. he was actually ridiculed for being a so called super spreader. interestingly, many political parties have been suspending and cancelling rallies recently, mostly because people in their own ranks had been falling sick. what it seems like

livelihoods. daniel calls or discusses today's jobs with his colleague, lena, he runs the classic tattoo cow's a shop. it these other tools of his trade inks and chemicals which have been in use for many years, but no longer yet new colors. but in the morning we have round about 10120 different colors, the new colors vendor colors coming in the middle of the year. we have just 30 cause does the thing and you lose from the quality 30 percent. it's precisely these colors which daniel believes, are the life blood of his craft colors are the important thing for it towards this is a this is that what we is bring colors in the skin under the skin. the people come, i like to have this. i'm sort of colors are what you can do to just rock play with the needles with this. this is the base to work. when you take the base,

you destroyed a business, but to others, such inks are dangerous. the use says they poses serious health hazard, that these substances are actually also restricted in cosmetics. so you're not allowed to use them because metrics which are just placed on the skin. and now we are extending that of course to these materials which are injected under the skins . some estimates suggest around 12 percent of people across the e. you have at least one tattoo here in germany. that number is believed to be even higher, perhaps around 20 percent. so what takes place in the body when these now band eggs come into contact with us here at the german federal risk assessment institute, dr. michael geo products, again told me one concern is what happens beneath the skin barrier? we know that not all pigment to remain on the place word it had to is it being made or in a did to big with is injected. we know that from studies that the lymph nodes of

and the most powerful telescope ever launched into space as successfully completed its 2 week deployment phase. the james, who had 10 a telescope, is so big, there had to be folded to fit into a rocket that carried it into all bits and folding the mirrors was a crucial milestone. the $10000000000.00 telescope can see the 1st stars and galaxies formed more than 13000000000 years ago. it's now moving, so it's orbital point, 1600000 kilometers from earth. i'm emotional about it. that was an amazing milestone receipt. beautiful pattern out there in the sky and out. almost complete, of course it needs to latch bit what an amazing mouse don't just the head of it. a 178 out of a 100. 78 of these. ah, you know actuators that, that, that had to fire the right way. and just so amazed and in or out this team. amy lynn thompson is a florida bay space in science journalist who writes for space dot com. she

explains the significance of what's been achieved. so far, it's incredibly huge achievement. his telescope has been 25 years and the making and scientists are so ready for it to get to the point where it can actually send back pictures. and these were the crucial stops that had to happen to make sure that that works. it has a sun shield, which is basically the size of a tennis court, and that has 5 different ultra thin layers to it. so just those alone had to a unfurl and b tension. so that way it would actually keep the telescope cool enough to complete at science objectives. and then on top of that you had the mirror unfolding. and all of that is just a significant achievement. so it is going to look very far back into the universe as maybe about a 100000000 years after the big bang. and what it's going to do is look at infrared

light. and so that's like the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that we feel as heat. and so stars and galaxies, planets whenever they form are very, very hot. so the telescope is going to look for those heat signatures as far back, you know, as a 100000000 years after the big bang, which is incredible. so we could not only see some of the 1st stars and galaxies, but it can also do things as sniff out x o planet atmospheres to see what kinds of chemicals are in there. maybe even to find, you know, other habitable, habitable planets out in the universe. ah, those earlier, the top stores odours isn't causing solar.
