adequately vaccinated. the government says around 90 percent of the population is immunized. on wednesday, it announced the 2nd boost, a shot for high risk groups, and people over 60 years old. well, the w h o says china's biggest challenge is to provide the right vaccines with the right doses. there's a little narrative at the moment that in some way, china lifted the restrictions and all of a sudden the disease out of is, is out of control. the disease was spreading intensively because i believe the control measures in themselves were mass stopping the disease. and i believe that the chinese authorities have decided strategically that, that for them is not the best option anymore. richard camper hes more from hong kong. the latest figures before the rules are relaxed, underscoring just how much of an impact these strict rules have had with everything from retail sales to factory output slumping. and that's not really showing any signs of having improved in the years and months up until this policy relaxation

taking place. the hope is, of course, that because of those, we like stations, things will bounce back. but as a say, the expectation from says it could take at least 6 more months for that to happen because they expect that to be a period between now and the middle of next year when it will take a lot of time for the public to get more confident with the idea of the latest variance, if coven 19 big acceptable in society, in the way that they have already become so in much of the rest of the world. and it's that time period that could be crucial for china because it's already struggling with high levels of unemployment and low levels of growth, which are not necessarily going to be sustainable without huge extra injections of stimulus from the central bank. and while that money may be available, it might not be something that policy makers of initially hope they would have to spend just to try and find a way of trying to transition out of a long standing 0 tolerance approach into what is now a much more relaxed state of affairs, but without perhaps analysts say the type of transitional planning in place to make that a smooth transition. tens of thousands of nurses in the u. k. a going on strike shortly

morning. spit lana, cleared up the damage and her father's flat just across the way. i thought the good morning go who had a life, does go off, it can be removed under place. it's not a big deal. it's a stoicism born of experience for months. russia has targeted ukraine, cities and power infrastructure. but stoicism does not mean apathy. it just makes up pretty much angry grid. this time the attack was a failure to put a laser umbrella in their information. all 13 drones were shopped out of the ukrainian air defense mo, it's well done. i'm proud of you, your citizens and we are grateful to the defense and don't ignore the sirens. but previous drone strikes, particularly when paired with cruise missiles, to be more successful. since mid october, russia has damaged every one of the cranes them power plants times the russians trying to choice is this. they call them karen's. but despite russia and iran

see here, it was a lucky day for key. if 100 percent of the drain shut down, no deaths and no injuries, but he's to say the next on this happens, they'll be so fortunate. and that's why ukraine is making better ad offense. one of the most important requests, it's making of its friends and allies, rory, talents out his era give more than 60 ukrainian soldiers. and to us citizen, have been freed in the prison exchange with russia. the ukrainian officials is the u. s. air force veteran had been course helping his people before falling into russian captivity. the bodies of 4 ukrainian soldiers were also handed over. give, did not say when the swat took place or how many russians were returned. iran has been removed from the un commission on the status of women after a vote led by the united states to ron has been criticized for suppressing the wave of protests that erupt it after the death of martha,

expanding its influence. is she home for tansy? the white house has been stressing that respects the sovereignty of jews, strategic priorities of african nations, and that it wouldn't use the liter summit to lecture nations about doing business with us rivals, china and russia. the u. s. does want to expand its footprint in africa and joe biden. hughes is address of the summit to make the argument that the u. s. and it's corporations will be a great business partner with african nations to ensure mutual success in the united states is committed to supporting every aspect. every aspect of africa is inclusive growth in creating the best possible environment for sustain commercial engagement between africa. companies and american companies. united states is all in an african future. the 2nd day of the summits, or several hours of paneled discussions about the potential of us african traded investments. but everyone here is aware that china has passed us by

a long way in business and strategic partnerships, and that the u. s. is not thrilled with those investments. what the nations here have been making clear is that they will not be beholden to any power as they look to the future. the president of the democratic republic of congo using a photo opportunity to quietly criticize the u. s. after receiving condolences for the flooding in the country, what's killed at least a 100, for example, you've just given us now sincere condolences for the tragedy and construction. thank you for your condolences. this is the very example of what we have regretted when some time the support from countries to pollute and which unfortunately leads to negative consequences in our countries that cannot protect themselves from this job button isn't having any bilateral meetings with the african leaders here. the responsibility of secretary of state as well blinking instead of the white house, said bite and would have informal little moments with leaders at the forum and at the white house dinner. it is fascinating watching us officials trying hard not to

talk about what they feel malign intentions of china and russia, but they know that to do so. if the suggests of african nations are somehow naive and unaware of the consequences of their own strategic priorities. shambrika and see al jazeera washington, the main opposition candidate and fiji general election says he will contest the outcome. after a report, a technical glitch cause the results to go offline. former prime minister for the vinny rob walker says provisional results showed his party in the lead before the app went down to several hours. when results came back online, current prime minister, frank binding rama's party within the lead and projected to win its try. ya is putting the price cap on gas and coal as it tries to curb soaring prices. parliament has approved a plan to set a price limit on energy supplies. it also says it will help households and businesses transition from gas to electricity inflation and the war and ukraine

they call it, electrify. how some of these houses around a stripe, particularly targeting the low middle income families, as well as more businesses. and this is to be converting from gas a to renewable energy. and this is of the maximizing energy efficiency addressing at the level of emissions outputs. the strategy has of course, drifting climate change as a result and happen to be given concessional, re bites and loans to help them pay to electrify behind the house. also, i should state also that this energy process, it's not long term, it's temporary only, but it will be in place now. for 12 months. hungry is foreign minister has outlined his nation's plan to diversify his future energy supply. in an interview with al jazeera peter c auto welcomed the co operation of countries. sanchez casa, who is supplying natural gas in an energy market, trying to win itself off. russian gas in germany, not so long ago, just

a couple of weeks ago, signed a 15 year deal with colored supply natural gas to ensure its long term energy security. is that something that you hungry looking to do? i was very happy when i learned about this agreement between germany and tar, because i do hope that such kind of forms of a practical cooperation will help to put the katara you rock cooperation on a more pragmatic basis. so instead of the constant lecturing and judgment on behalf of some european friends towards car, this relationship would be based on mutual respect and pragmatism. yes, definitely. we are looking for ways and means of diversification. no question. or do i have to tell you that for us, unlike some other european countries for us diversification means to be able to reach out to as many sources as it is just possible on as many routes as if you're

just possible. and not that is to the one geographic direction we turn to the other one and we look at katara as a reliable partner. no question. as is, there is an elegy port in our neighborhood in creation there hungary, the number one customer. so we have capacity is there is a kind of a likely scenario or a realistic scenario that once gas from katara would be added to our national energy mix, that these 2 are inches definitely, you know, in light of the invasion of ukraine, would you want to do away with putting any more russian oil and gas from, from tomorrow. if you could, we need the ration under just sources. and there is no scenario for the upcoming decade that we would not need because simply because of the infrastructure and you know, as long as we have a contract and the contract is being fulfilled, there's no real reason to, to do a war. yeah, we have invaded one of your neighbors and yeah,

we definitely come them. it's one thing to condemn the war, but it's another thing, you know, some of your critics have argued that hungry is actually helping to fund person and help and pay for the war by fill purchasing russian oil. and guess what, what do you take to that? look, if you're in ourselves, then we'd be a lot of able to have ukraine and then withdrawing from the contracts with russia, one energy supply would mean destroying the country. and you can catch the fallen t v with hungry foreign minister on talk to al jazeera dead. the interview is right here on saturday at 430 g m t ah, you're watching al jazeera and these are the top stories. this our new government data shows china's covered 90.
