by a senior civil servants who grey. they happened during lockdown restrictions, which meant that people couldn't meet in large groups. and yet, reportedly they happened on a regular basis. in fact, one newspaper now reporting that there was something called friday wind time, regular gatherings with alcoholic drinks, which start at number 10, went out and fetched in in a suitcase from a supermarket down the road, coming back to their office and in the woods in the at the instigation, the encouragement of the prime minister relaxing, trying to let their hair down if you like, even if he wasn't there. so pressure his own bar is johnson to explain why he allowed all of this to happen. and this is lead to the opposition labor party gaining several points in the opinion polls saying that he has clearly undermined public trust. and that is a 1st statement. if you look around them, if you look at what the public saying around the country at the moment, it's

a majority of people who think he has handled it very badly. but for the opposition labor party, it's another chance to remind people of the context of pandemic. the desk told let's just go over 150001 of the worst. busy in the world, in terms of the countries size and the ongoing questions of how to relieve the pressure on the national health service. that was the focus of labor leader. kids storm are on saturday. all right, thank you very much and have a new day, bye bye. we heard from the opposition later just before the break, so we appreciate that update. thank you very much. several, the indian cities, including it's capital you dally, have gone into a strict weekend lockdown in an effort to control the surgeon infections driven by the ohm icon and delta veterans. you need 270000 new cases were reported on saturday. the highest since last may or shops of shot except for essential

and most people are working from home models until you know, so it's a big loss for us. a full lockdown is actually better because at least we can go back to a village and during these regions confusing, we don't own anything right now for the country. several cities like new jelly and one by half in cases dis slightly. but that's because of testing which has dropped authorities are now prioritizing death for high risk patients. so asymptomatic contacts of cobra. 1000 patients have been asked to simply self isolate. so even though it looks like cases have plateaued, positivity rate has gone up. now, amid all of this large scale gatherings or religious gatherings rather have continued, even as most of the country has been under some form of restriction for some time. now, west been goal, which is hosting the largest gathering, has seen its highest single day spike since the beginning of the pandemic. now,

there was no reaction from the police. the prime minister, unable in a beach, said earlier that they are close to for feeling the demands of the activists. on the other hand, president alexander watches, things that the project is good for the people and good for the country. experts have warned that the plan lead to mine would destroy farmland and polluted waters routine to her said, it would adhere to all domestic and european union environmental standards at the site. serbia is the candidate nation for european union and 3, but little so far have been achieved with regards to improving the countries environmental situation. activists are now announced that they will continue with the protest until routine to accompany is definitely out of serbia. 25 years after historic trade, he banned the use of land mines. millions are still at risk. 164 countries signed me un agreement back in 997, but land mines killed more than 7000 people last year alone. civilians account for

majority of those casualties. most of them occurring in syria. molly, ukraine and niger area, and 30 percent of those killed with children, with more than $1800.00 killed in 2020 countries with the largest mind territory include ukraine, cambodia, bosnia, herzegovina, and afghan. some countries that did not sign the treaty, you have not released their figures. that includes china, north korea, cuba mania, and south korea. homer can is the head of communications at the halo trust in the n g o working to clear land mines. he says the work is painstaking and requires more funding. i was in by way, last month. well, our minds were laid extensively about 975, but that was ended in 1979. and for decades after the local people be living with thousands of land mines, it's getting to the war sources are getting to scale. i think that what's required to remove my minds is essentially political will and funding. the more funding

there is a quick le month can be removed. it's an incredibly and painstaking effort to remove mines. it's easy to put the vendor cheap to produce, but it's actually quite expensive to deal with them because you have to make sure that you hand land back that you know to be 100 percent clear, a 100 percent safe. so you know, from, in some places we work with heavy equipment, the machinery, they said like a rack. in the urban centers we are able to to clear i d 's quite rapidly. but in other places, it's almost like a fingertip search and you have to and you're using delicate tools to deal with things. so it can be an expensive business because you want to hug back. land is completely se in a change of pace. they're not billionaires, but the top stars of youtube attracted billions of use each year and enough cash to have their own forbes list. the magazine has released its list of richest d, u chief celebrities. after the science pandemic firm, the highest is

a junior donaldson, better known as a base $10000000000.00 shoes and $154000000.00. last year in the $23.00 road is among the world's highest paid entertainers and made more money last year than bts or contract in there isn't $1.00 formula. so success or other top end is by millions, by boxing, selling merchandise, cooking or just playing video games. 7 year old nest. yeah. and 20 a 1000000 dollars last year, a bit more than 10 year old ryan kaji. collectively these youtube is made around $300000000.00. show their parents a very happy chris stoker, worker walker is a youtube trends expert. he explains more about how these on lines does the earnings such big bunks. it's because it's replaced traditional television and i think not when you put it into that context. these numbers do start to make a little bit of sense. you know, at hollywood movie style is, will in,

in order to mount money for performing in films every single year. and what is essentially happening is these youtube is all doing that, but i doing it online, very huge all here. so if i can contextualize this to building us across the world, log onto youtube every single month. so that is a launch moving some mutual parent company, alphabet, which is for me known as google in billions of dollars through advertising revenues against the youtube is themselves take around the 55 percent cut. so then suddenly this amount of money starts to make maybe a little bit more sense to want to be youtube is they want to be astronaut and not as because they have seen the importance and the power, not these people have and they have huge sway and they live in massive mansion so ultimately in same way that we saw the reality tv tries as yearly to thousands. we're seeing something similar with digital craters.
