5:19 am
last variant or that we are in the end again on the counter, the globally, the conditions are ideal for more variance to emerge. while china has ordered 2000000 residents of a district in beijing to take korean virus tests, this follows a series of caves. 19 outbreaks in the chinese capital ahead of the start of the winter olympics. the government has told people in neighborhoods considered high risk to remain in the city. i less crossover straightaway to bay jr. katrina, you standing by there for a se, katrina. so what's the latest without braver? well, china has recorded so far more than 3400 cases since december. in this current outbreak, the latest figure is 18 locally transmitted cases marked on tuesday morning. and some of these are in major cities including tendon and shanghai. but of course, what's worrying authority is the most is the outbreak now that's in beijing. now
5:20 am
there were 2 clusters. the 1st. a was an on the kron variance that was identified and about 5 to 6 people last week in authority. say that that seems to be under control. but what we do have case number's growing is with a delta variance, which seems to have centered around the cold food storage plant. in the district of sometime they've identified more than 40 cases that now the 2000000 people who live in fungi district in beijing have been asked to undergo a 2nd round of mass testing. and they've been told that they cannot leave their homes until they've tested negative for cove at 19. but the whole city really is under high luck. even other districts and aging had been asking, there was events to take the curve and test just as a precaution. our team were told late last night, but we have to today go get tested even though we live on the other side of the city and just all of the we have stricter enforcement of things like mosque wearing the scanning of health codes and something that is near is that if you go to
5:21 am
a pharmacy and you try to buy any medication that's related to a sore throat, a fever or allergy you will be marked and alerted that you need to go take a cobra test as well. right, and we're hearing that some cities have been able to control the spread. that's right. so we had the city of she on of quite a major city in central china home to 13000000 people. they will put under locked down from december the 22nd. so that's been a few weeks, a very tight restrictions, unable to leave their homes. finally, those restrictions have been listed, lifted off the case numbers, a shrunk down to single digits. so not only can people finally leave their homes, they can also even leave the city if she and if they test negative. but i do have to say that domestic travel around trying china right right now is still very tricky. china is trying to maintain 0 tolerance approach to cover 1900 head of the
5:22 am
11 pix, which open in 10 days only. so if you do travel very often, you have to get a test beforehand. you have to get a test afterwards. and of course, there's always an ongoing risk that if there are any cases identified even a single case, you could be put under lockdown or katrina, katrina, you that in beijing, nearly $10000000.00 school peoples in columbia have returned to in person classes after 2 years. disruption, but it can sides with reco corona, virus infections nationwide and a surgeon day the depths amazon to ramp yet reports now from the capital of book a tough, no much fun fare. schools across most at columbia. open their doors on monday, receiving all of their students for the 1st time since the start of depend damage for friends and classmates. long separated a day to rejoice with him because i don't know them. the truth is, you don't learn much at home. it's not the same as being in class with teachers that can answer your doubts. and i miss being with my friends,
5:23 am
but having somebody to share a joke, an activity. schools in latin america have been closed for an average of $231.00 days longer than any other part of the world. and many lower income students have been particularly affected by the lack of internet connection or computers at home . or working parents like single mama to karen could be at or the reopening couldn't have become sooner. and i couldn't be happier. i work and had to stop to take care of the kids. my daughter last year because we only have a cell phone at home. so it seems like it was, my son was in 5th grade, and my daughter in 1st class is at the same time. so i had to sacrifice a younger one. it's been hard. the reopening is happening, despite the countries experiencing another major surgery covered cases. some cities postponed reopening schools for a week as they pushed to increase the number of vaccinated food in that in the
5:24 am
capital. but the reopening went on as planned. at least 64 percent of public school students have received. at least one don't have direct seen or you want to me off today is much more than simply returning to face to face schooling. it's the beginning of a new form of life and education. we all need to learn. it's the beauty of education. both climate change on the pandemic forces to live and learn in new ways that many professors and unions remain weary of the decision. saying little has been done to deal with overcrowded classrooms, lack of infirmary, and promised hygiene kits in many public schools. in the last, within a year, it's evident that all the bias security tool has little support. in reality, if you look at the, the crowning the students in a small space, it's dangerous for them. and for us, we're on one hand with satisfied the fact that we continue to wire for the epidemiological situation with the government says it will closely monitored the
5:25 am
impact of the reopening an infection data that that schools will not close again for the joy of friends and colleagues finally reunited allison and dizzy, and with that thousands of truck drivers from across kind of their converging on the capital of all to a, to protest against the federal vaccine mandate for travel across the us border. they say the policy hundreds businesses in the livelihoods of drivers. judy vance's following developments from vancouver. the freedom trucker con boy departed the west coast of canada on sunday morning and have been making their way west or excuse me, east, through the west, that is on their way to the nation capital. and ottawa, many stops along the way gathering together truckers against this mandate, a mandate that the canadian liberal government adjusted to the prime minister and back in november it came into effect on january 15th. of course,
5:26 am
there are vaccine mandates now on both sides of the canada. us border checkers were exempt from that 14 days quarantine and there was no vaccination passport of sorts or mandate of any kind until january the 15th. as essential workers, 90 percent of truckers in canada like the majority of canadians overall have been fully vaccinated. but it is this vocal group who feel that this is political overreach on behalf of the liberal government. and indeed, there is an expectation that thousands of truckers will descend on ottawa, the nation's capital, and gather in front of the parliament buildings on january 29th. so making their way through the west now towards ottawa, the latest word on social media as we follow along with those postings from the con boy are saying that they're a little bit behind in gathering steam across the country. we'll see how that
5:27 am
convoy continues as they roll their way into ottawa. come this weekend's president joe biden is being blamed for empty shells in us soup market, winter weather, and the sides in oma cohen cases. i think the disruption and the she returns, the reports from maryland. the pandemic has exposed problems within the truck, driving industry. across the us, supermarkets are again experiencing supply shortages of such basic goods as milk, eggs, and other household items. a wave of on the chrome cases, global supply chain issues, labor shortages, and extreme weather being blamed for the lack of goods and other contributing factor, the trucking industry, some 70 percent of goods delivered in the u. s. r by rode the main lobbying group for the trucking company says it needs an extra 80000 new drivers to get goods where they need to be and helped meet that amount of drivers. people as young as 18 could soon be allowed to drive trucks into state after completing a federal apprenticeship program for decades ago. in 1980 deregulation turns much
5:28 am
of the trucking industry into what we now call the gig economy drivers are not paid for the time on the job. but for miles travels, they basically give the company that you're going to deliver to pick up from day give them 2 hours free the sit there and do whatever they need to do. the driver doesn't get paid. many truck as a classified as independent contract is not employees, so companies don't pay for the upkeep of their trucks or invest in truck, stops a warehouses. a truck drives the allotted legal time and then stops wherever they are. you get after 56 o'clock, especially here on the east coast 5 o'clock a might be on the road somewhere, trying to find a spot. if there is a shortage that husband steve declared in wages for truckers between 1977 and 987 truck compensation fell, but i'm 35 percent. the average trucker salary is now around $50000.00 a year. but there is another stock. sophistic trucking has an overall job turnover
5:29 am
rate of between 74 and 92 percent. that is between 7 and 9 out of 10 drivers leave their jobs. after a year, we reached out to the american truck association, but they declined to speak to us. but the u. s. census, in fact, shows a record number of qualified truck drivers in the us. that's why others say the problem lies elsewhere. there is no shortage of truck drivers in the united states, and in fact we have a surplus of drivers. we have millions of people in the us who trained to become a truck driver and then decided not to do the job. dr. shirley says the trucking industry has used the same tactics since deregulation in 1980 to insist all further deregulation. so you can have as many workers to choose from as possible. that way you can offer the least wages and benefits while maximizing its profits. simply lowering the driving age is, is not going to make things better and burns them out. most people won't last won't last 6 months. something we've heard throughout the supply chain crisis is that it's decades of deregulation that focused on corporate profits instead of building
5:30 am
infrastructure like truck depots, for example. i'm taking care of workers that got us here. she ever chancey al jazeera maryland, the world's biggest and most expensive space telescope has arrived at its destination. 1000000 miles from earth. and nasa says it will begin firing up the james web telescope, and it will begin observing the inverse. in june. gdc has the ability to look at objects from mars on out. so it can of course, again, it's orbiting i just outside the orbit of the, of the noun about it's about 4 times further away than the man. so it always has to be pointed out towards deep space. it can ever look back towards the earth. ah. so this is odds, are these all the top stories in the spokesman for the you answer could you general has condemned to queue and became a fascinating voice concern for the president. the military says it sees power and
