including and rama la janine, and full cut him. we've also seeing the young palestinians take the, there's 3 still been to an to voice their anger. some of them went to a near the league. it is really a sediment of bad as me and i'm a love other is where in hebron where they threw rocks at these really army the army, you dispersed the crowds and responded with robert bullard tear gas and sun grenades . while the val affiliate leadership has condemned the killings and said that palestinians are in need of international perfection. people here say that the thunder nation are meaningless. they say that they were left alone facing one of the strongest armies in the world. the european union has signed a deal, the senate goal to buy 300000000 to interest vaccines. and the doses will be made by the comes from countries as to pester which will be set up, which was at

a preface, built factory outside the capital decker. it will then be distributed across west africa. european commission, president joseph, on the line is visiting senegal, before summit between the you and the african union this month. when people wanted some specific vaccine, some time was not available when some vaccine was believe not being efficient or causing problem people to want to different vaccine. that wasn't the existing social disorder facility where you have a agility where you can do different technology is a great opportunity where you can, so of those different meets for africans in general. and the last thing is that people may also trust better vaccine that are met locally in our experience as we are doing this for more than 8 years now, we realized that many african prefer to be vaccinated by vaccine many truck in africa. so we hope this would help actually increase the trust that they happened is vaccines. and somehow her addiction infection hesitance, i said,

bake has more from deca. of course, that's a boost for luke synagogue here, but also the rest of africa will create jobs here. but if africa has struggled with low vaccination rates, and part of that is access to vaccine doses in a global system that has that favored african countries. but also the world health organization program kovacs that's there to get poorer countries, vaccine doses. and that relies on donations and some of those donations are, of those doses have had short expiration date's not the end of last year. the synagogue last around 400000 doses because of those expiration dates and nigeria nearly a 1000000. but it's thought that once this factory is up and running and manufacturing bills, doses that should address some of the distribution issues. it's thought that now if they set up this panel when they set up this plant and they start manufacturing doses, africans manufacturing doses for africans, this should be a greater uptake. in those vaccinations. one of the busiest water crossing this

between the us and canada has now partially reopened. it was blocked by a convoy of truck as opposed to vaccine mandates. ambassador bridge between windsor and detroit carries 25 percent of all trade between the 2 countries. good to being transported through alternative crossings, causing some delays. the so called freedom convoy, protest is now in its 12 stay a truck has what the removal of all requirements to be vaccinated and other coded 19 restrictions. $200.00 is in one of those affected us border cities. detroit will be invalid or bridge. that's it. behind me is one of the biggest, actually, i mean, biggest commercial border crossing in all of north america. and if you just take a look back there, you can see one truck coming in this direction. now going toward canada in the other direction. there is no traffic and that's because it's been entirely shut down by

a group calling themselves of freedom convoy. these are truckers who say they want all covered 19 restrictions and vaccine mandates on both sides of the border removed or they will continue their protest. so they, when i got here on monday, you can look over there, the right most lanes are now blocked with orange cones, probably out of view. but on monday trucks were lined up there for miles back. they have since been cleared out because the border authority has closed that crossing entirely. it was closed in both directions until tuesday. that's when canadian authorities negotiated with the truckers and got one lane open coming back, which explains why there are so few trucks coming back in this direction. and that's going to huge commercial impacts. 75 percent of candidate exports go to the united states. one 3rd of that goes right through this border crossing right now, some of them can be verted, but there are delays. why is that a problem? because a number of the things that go cross that border,

everything from cattle to auto parts are parts for the u. s. auto industry. and those are delivered on a just in time basis if they don't arrive within a day or 2, those manufacturing plants can operate at full capacity. and that has upset leaders on both sides of the border. justin for know the canadian prime minister, i said these truckers have a right to be heard but not to block traffic or commerce. that sentiment was echoed from the white house as well. so far, authorities have been dealing on a negotiation basis with these truckers, although they say they are breaking the law by blocking commerce. but with every hour and every day in billions of dollars of commerce being stopped, the chances of a real confrontation between the truckers and police increases healthcare workers in sri lanka are on an indefinite strike. they're demanding better pay and recognition talks with the government of so far failed to produce any results. now fernandez reports from columba

ah, critical times in sri lanka, more than 60000 head to workers are on strike across the nation. disrupting a range of services, including medical clinics, consultations and tests, nurses, medical technicians, and public health inspectors are among those taking part and then they appear then that they will effect we can't get medicine or treatment because of this strike. we traveled a long way without eaten food because we had to get some tests done. the indefinite work stoppage by 18 health trade unions is pushing for a number of demands, our basins and our peoplesoft operating regarding this. but what can we do when the media and the bob public get really phase, and then b, c, and the salary comes in and meet is gopro, then they gotta help it. they don't all say anything, right? does he do it or? no, you got good. comedy says the strike is about winning. do recognition for walkers,

a. the has sector for been neglected. he says salary discrepancies, administrative issues, and the implementation of systems dealing with the public are among that concerns. many sri lanka, uns rely on the free health service because they cannot afford private health care . some of them travel long distances to secure specialist treatment and attend regular clinics. rural hospitals like this are usually teeming with people, but have gone quite in the last 3 days. help minister kelly rumble quello mit union leaders on tuesday, but they failed to resolve the issue better with genuine cases. oh, there been some been cases and i would say b, i accept, but i to ask for that. all right, but certain things i think this completely tim had been been done, been colored with the political aspirations. and i

am prepared to pollard strikers, have demonstrated outside the help ministry, some even forcing their way in to urge their demands be met. while the government and health trade unions try to negotiate a deal. housings of philanthropy are badly affected by disruptions to the free public health service. many want to see the 2 sides working out an agreement. but observe a thing that seems unlikely. michelle fernandez r 0 colombo scientists in the u. k of slashed a record for generating fusion energy, and it could help the battle against climate change. you actually feel the effects of nuclear fusion every day. it's the same process that the sun use is to generate heat father. so the process can be harnessed to generate clean energy and help the world move away from fossil fuels. such as at the joint european tourist facility in the u. k. have generation 59 mega jewels of heat during a 5 2nd burst of fusion,

a sequel to 14 kilos of t n t. and more than double the previous record. use special gases, but the heat it up to $150000000.00 degrees celsius. 10 times hotter from the center of the sun. and his whites appealing about one killer of fusion, few contains 10000000 times more energy than nikita of coal. oil or gas approaches . also releases no greenhouse gases or some other way to go nuclear fusion energy isn't expected to be properly generated in the u. k until the 2014. i think that's cover to reserve research for the max planck institute for plasma physics in germany. she says a, there's a very clear pop plan on how to move forward. the next step is eater, is the experimental reactor hardly being billed in southern france. it is this a larger scale much larger scale than an experiment we've done here. but the experiments we have succeeded in performing now in the, in this results we're presenting, is that teach us

a lot about how this plasmas will behave in this huge experimental reactor. this device will be able to produce even more fusion power up to $500.00 megawatts and for even longer time. and in parallel, we're thinking about the next step, which is a demonstration fusion power plant, which will show how we will deliver electricity. and after that, of course, it's for society to pick it up and use fusion energy. it's clean, it's safe, it's abundant. this is there, is it safe inherently? because there's nothing that can go wrong in principle that would require any, an a measure should be taken for the public. so if one does something wrong and the plasma just shuts down itself and there is absolutely no danger, a commercial space company space acts owned by billionaire in on mosque is losing up to 40 of it's brand new satellites because of a solar storm. they were among $49.00, launched into but just 6 days ago,
