a significant move and it follows the announcement that the a testing program is up and running. the biden administration has set an online testing program in which people can go log online and order 3 home tests, which will be delivered within $7.00 to $12.00 days. now all of this follows intense criticism of the by it in administration. first of all, for it's lack of foresight in terms of creating and map tests, it's lack of foresight in terms of creating and not mos part of the issue in the past was a shortage of moss that any massive distribution would impact on health workers. and those most in need of mars to, in the direct contact regularly with those infected with cupboard. but now the administration says that there are enough more than the national strategic stockpile. in addition, mosque manufacturers say they are in a position to make millions more mars. but still, the criticism has been going on. this is the biden administration's response. it's

's, christian wakefield had defected to the opposition party. this following morning,

newspaper reports of a widening plot to oust johnson by members of his own party. jokes to the prime minister's expense followed. i see the very noise on until the chief was told to bring their i'm bruce ha salvo off to silva. like way nobody told the prime minister. he was breaking his own rooms. absolutely pathetic. if he had any shred of compassion for all those had them separately. they said he'd go and paste clamoring for explanations with johnson about the increasing catalogue of rule breaking policies that took place under his watch when the country was deepened, locked down. but the prime minister seemed energize fighting tooth and nail for his party and his job. when the history of this pandemic comes to be written and the history of the labor party come to be written a bunny, me, they are history, me remain history because he won't show emotion able show that we delivered while

they did, and we, we vaccinated while they vacillated mister speaker, i am intensely proud of what this government has done and call off to call for johnson to resign was met with the same message to reserve judgement, to wait for the results of the inquiry into a growing list of rules breaking. mister speaker, when a prime minister is spending his time trying to convince the great british public that he's actually stupid, rather than disowning every time that he go now, eh, but his voice is from his own policy. the could do the most damage to his political future, m p. david davis wants the teresa make government's chief breakfast negotiator delivering this surgical strike, like many on these benches, osman weeks and months defending the prime minister against often angry constituents. but i expect my leaders to shoulder the responsibility for the

a demonstration of how we're moving forward to being self reliant as a continent and we. ready should be proud of what we are achieving africa should no longer be the last in line to access vaccines against condemn, makes africa should no longer bow kept in end to the western world, begging and begging for vaccines that they just want to rip off from their tables, this partnership was planning to manufacture, wanting to call that vaccines for africans within the next 5 years. the developer say, what is key for these vaccines is that it will be stable at room temperature in mind . and that allows great transportation and storage in countries. the infrastructure may be limited to countries like south africa and india have been pushing for painted. ready waivers, to allow for the development of magazines in low income country,

call. and the government isn't totally targeting animals. anyone who recently entered the shops will have to go to quarantine for 3 weeks. whether they had direct contact with the hamsters or not. but miss santis say, it's extremely raf with a virus to be transmitted from patch to people. we need to remember that, you know, millions of people around the world have been infected by south cove to millions of people around the world have pits, and there has been no cases are proven of pits transmitting infection to other humans. dozens of shops have been forced to close. an animal importers have been ordered to suspend trade. the government says it doesn't have the capacity to test every hamster in hong kong, but the call will cut transmission chains. barbara anger per al jazeera and i jury and separate us leader has pleaded not guilty to 15 terrorism on treason

next? it's really unclear. at this point. there's a lot of open ended questions, you know, we thought a lot as have been settled 2 weeks ago. the carriers had come to an agreement with the airlines that will get a delay there now for 2 weeks to do some further testing. and they, they thought that i had settled any potential objections or future objections. that's obviously not the case of the airlines or what we had objecting to the potential for interference between their networks and some the equivalent planes. so right now it's sort of in limbo for, for the carriers. they have turned on the upgraded version or 5 network elsewhere. but when it comes to areas around the airport, they've basically hit pause. and there really is no telling when they'll be able to resume the roll out, or if they actually end up rolling out the network in or near those airports. let me ask you this because 5 g has been rolled out and other countries. so why?

why is there such concern over at a near airports in the us? there are a lot of questions about that, and frankly, you know, i've taught 18 variety and they are throw their hands up. they're not entirely sure . as you know, 5 g, a particular, this is flavor 5, uses the specific bands of radio airwaves that the airline industry believes is a potential interference issue that has been in use elsewhere. now we've, we've seen from other comments from the airlines, emerett airlines references noted that the power usage might be higher than high in the us and it is elsewhere. we're still kind of looking into what are houses appointments are different than they are elsewhere. but you know that the carriers and add the s u c, notably the federal communications commission to have a set time and time again that the, the service doesn't pose a risk to airlines. but, you know, there's obviously a lot of nerves and this is high stakes. so i think everyone is kind of taking

a pause and trying to get a little bit more. busy data on information on just one of this risk actually is. so is that ultimately down to the question of if it's a fight over who has precedence over the skies, whether it's the airlines or telecommunications companies at this point, i wouldn't quite put it that dramatically. i think the question is whether or not the i think it's finding a way for both sides coexist and i don't think it's necessarily going to be black and white. it's not necessarily the airlines done dummy, the, you know, the skies or the telecommunication copied, there will be some sort compromise made. it's just unclear. i think both sides are still trying to figure out what the other wants. i would say le airlines ideally would just not have this, that they would prefer to not have the spectrum deployed at all. the carriers, which i spent about $80000000000.00 on this, that probably would disagree. so there's, there's probably gonna be some sort compromise down the middle. but at this point, i think everyone's are taking a cautious approach. all right,

thank you so much. roger trying for speaking to us from your while a former colombian presidential candidate was kidnapped and held by foreign rebels for 6 years as an ounce. she's running again. ingram better cor, spoke to al jazeera about her vision for columbia future. all the sandra pet. she's joining us from columbia capital bogo ton. sandra, you're the one that spoke to best on core. what does she have to say? yes, we just sat down with her and essentially we want to understand why she decided to run out there saying until the beginning of december that she had no intention to do it, at least in this election, she has recently moved back to columbia after 15 years in france, following her abduction and there is no doubt that she brings celebrity power, star power name recognition to a sensory correlation that has so far suffered him and the poles were none of the

candidates have been able to truly break through. and at a time when columbia and. a they call them in the next day. it is quite divided and the most extreme options seems to be front and center seems to be gaining, gaining popularity among colombians. i really believe the change for columbia is in the center. it's not in the extremes. we are fed up with extremes. the extremes are the same for me. extreme right extreme left. it's the same thing. it's violence, it's corruption. we the center. we were together. we want to liberate colombia from corruption and we want to build another world for the 3rd millennium, a green world, the humane world. well 1st because i'm a woman and we have another vision. war is a man. thing. woman is about the conciliation piece. building that together, giving opportunities 2nd opportunity. others 1st being a woman because one of our main goals is to eradicate drug trafficking. so it means

that we have to build a regional policy against drugs and it comes with legalizing or depend lising that can, that can some showing of, of drugs. we can't do it alone for many big goals. they're obviously have asked how to do that. so if you ask pretty much every content there for the next election here in columbia, they will tell you that they want to fight corruption. that this is the main issue and everybody is fine here. but i asked her if she had some more concrete proposals . she offered to the 1st one, and she said that if she will become the president, she will appoint a special anti corruptions are connected to the office of the presidency. that will be a sort of, i will do surveillance of all the ministries and all the other sectors of the government. then she also said that she believes in the power of the digital world,

and that as she's hoping to create, if she becomes president, an app that colombians can use to denounce case is up corruption directly to the office of the president. we're going to have to see if colombians will indeed pick up on these proposals and that beyond the, her name recognition of this will translate them both 1st and the primaries in march and eventually and the presidential elections. next me thank you so much on sandra and patsy reporting from bogo top a palestinian family living an occupied east. jerusalem has lost their fight to stop is really policed amount like demolishing their home family 15 had threatened to blow up the property of forced from the chef started off neighborhood hundreds of other palestinians. there also faced eviction despite protest by activists. done international criticism of it's really policy out there is harry faucet has more from the demolition site. was around 3 o'clock in the morning on

a very cold and rainy morning here occupied east jerusalem. but about a 100 is ready, security forces moved in to the property, they cut off electricity, or they cordoned off the area. they arrested some 18 to 25 people, some of them members of the family, some of them activists who've been supporting them. and they then proceeded finally to demolish the home on this land. now as far as the israeli municipality and police are concerned, who issued a joint statement about this, they say that this is land that was appropriated long ago, has been destined to be made into a school, a special needs school for children in the area. and they say that the family did not have a legal right to be there. however, as far as western diplomats have been protesting this activists and palestinians more generally, a concern. this is not a question of his railey lords, a question of international law. this being occupied land and therefore such action is illegal and comes in the context of a wide,
