after cases spread to a ford building. and he's 200 people in the area of quite shown have now tested positive within 2 and a half 1000 residents were supposed to be freed from a 5 day lockdown on wednesday. but it's not been extended until friday break. can. it has more from uncle, many of these people would be missing work shifts as you can see, they're lining up for mandatory testing behind me. they are allowed outside of their homes once a day for testing, but they've complained of long waits. they've complained that in some cases the testing areas have been quite crowded. they've also said that communication channels can be quite confusing that sometimes it takes too long to reach the hotline number. they get free meals delivered each day. they complain that the quality of the food is sub par and there are also hygiene issues. we've seen piles of rubbish built up around the buildings here. so indeed, it is quite challenging for these people and also their skepticism about whether

that friday deadline will be extended. even more cases are hovering around a $120.00 a day. and that might seem quite low compared to other major cities in the world. but for hong kong, that's the largest daily outbreak for since june 2020. so officials are indeed quite alarmed there. currently 2 classes. ok, so we've got this one here at quite young estate. that's an ami kron cluster. we've also got a 2nd delta cluster which authorities believe began that through imported hamsters, which impact prompted a hamster coll and a call of other other pets as well. so suddenly, officials alarmed carry lam saying that she says a tsunami like outbreak could be looming, and that she probably will extend the lunar new year restrictions took over 19 antibody trunks and no longer available to doctors in the united states. that after especially concluded their ineffective against the only con variant, the us food and drug administration revoked emergency authorization for the

the reports emerged of parties in or near downing street during lockdown. i can confirm that the mat is now investigating a number of events that took place at downing street in whitehall. in the last 2 years in relation to potential breaches of covet 19 regulations, the move comes after officers working in downing street gave evidence to an existing internal government inquiring headed by civil servant su gray. that process is quite properly involved, sharing information continuously with metropolitan police. so i welcome permits decision to conduct its own investigation. but it's, i believe this will help to give the public with clarity it needs and help to draw a line on the matters, the opposition labor parties repeated calls for boris johnson to resign, suggesting he'd like to parliament. just weeks ago, mister speaker, the prime minister told this house there was no party. how does the paymaster general explain now?

i know across the country, people know enough. they have made up their minds about the prime minister. so when will his party capture? the prime minister's popularity and credibility writings have tanked with every new report of alleged rule breaking. one you survey suggests 62 percent of the population think he should step down. yeah, i'll be on his own vote for he's got a go pro roseville. go a 2nd so long as been so many controversy so far and hasn't kicked him out of officer smith several um pm at the moment, but many conservative m. p 's have insisted they'll wait until see grey's report is finished before deciding whether to trigger a leadership contest. so the latest twist could be a lifeline for the prime minister. because the irony is that the inquiry being conducted by the captain office. be glad i see grey, who is a senior. why whole civil servant will probably now be delayed because on these criminal proceedings are on the way the criminal investigation is underway. i'm so

in that sense, boss johnson. ashley hudson, breathing space. breathing space perhaps. but with every day that passes, he knows there could be more damaging revelations. and now there's the possibility of police action to nadine baba al jazeera john dearest. now where the country's 1st female president shamar castro is said to be sworn in on thursday. but a split in the president elect, spotty, has parked chaos in the national congress, concerns and ongoing as to whether castro can implement political way form one. she takes office on your rapid or a force from the congress. grants in honduras is capital tegucigalpa. hunters continues to experienced the start of a political crisis. now we are actually inside the honduran congress. this is the floor of the main legislative chamber. now just days ago, tales broke out when a group of congressmen and women within the president elect sumani castro's own party broke rank to support

a different candidate for president of congress than the one that castro had endorsed. now since then, 2 separate presidents of congress have been sworn in, leaving just about everyone in the country, confused as to who legally is actually in control of the national congress. now as you can see, it's absolutely full of people. there is no security folks are free to come and go as they please. it's really a surreal side because this would normally be an area completely closed off to the public. but since the weekend when hunter and president elect tomorrow, castle ordered police to remove restrictions into the building. this whole area has just been over, run, take a look, or had theme was our latest. what get the most all you have thought the 30th and he said to they, we feel happy because we have the freedom to be in this space. i thought never in my life have i been inside here until now because it used to be fenced off. so people would not come in that and so we feel proud to have a government the cares about the people and we will support the president elect until the end it up all your name off of that. now both sides of this disagreement

continue to firmly hold their ground, meaning that there is no clear solution in sight. in the meantime, at least here inside of the honduran congress. chaos and confusion seem to be the order of the day. the i m f one sal salvador to stop using bitcoin as legal, tender i left director say the use of the crypto carrying see process risks to financial stability. integrity and consumer protection. as have doors, president neighbor kelly supported the adoption of bitcoin as legal tender in september, john home, and right for some san salvador la september. and so with the was a 1st country in the world to approve the use of big coin the crypto currency. as legal tender along with the currency that have been used for some time in the country, which is the us dollar a to you can see one of the cash points behind me could chiva, which you can change bit coins into dollars. but this tuesday, the international monetary fund has said,

has recommended that the contract you stop doing that they stopped using bitcoin as one of the legal currencies in the country. the reason for that, they say that it could impact the financial system in institutions that it could also carry a risk the consumers in the country because big coin goes up. but it also goes down . this is a pretty volatile crypto currency. now that could be a problem for salvador, and that's because the country is quite in debt, and it's been looking for a loan from the, from the international monetary fund. one of the things that the international monetary fund has been worried about, given that load, has been the use of bitcoin in the country. so now it seems, there's 2 ways that president naive bu kelly can go. he can even stop using it unlikely, and possibly get that help from the international monetary fund, or he can double down or bitcoin, which is actually planning to do at the moment. he's planning a big coin city in which bitcoin is mind. he's also planning so called volcano

bones which are about a volcano that can be mine is the energy can be used to my bitcoin. and he's aiming to sell those, those a link to help with bitcoin as well. so a sort of decision point is approaching for this country of salvatore to really go with point this potentially lucrative or bullet, but also volatile crypto currency, or perhaps to go with the help from the international monetary fund ah target. i'm fully back with the headlines on al jazeera, the u. s. is working on reducing europe's dependence on russian gas as tension bills over ukraine, washington and its european allies as carrying global markets for other sources in case moscow squeezes supplies in retaliation against any sanctions. and rushes holding a week of military drills in the region and in unexplained mia in ukraine efforts, shipment of american weapons and.
