8:09 am
the floods here, people say was the worst in living memory. waters rose quickly. people barely had time to escape and get to relief centers. the river, not far from the village and heavy rains over the weekend, had caused the river to burst its banks. you can see the extent of the damage caused by flood waters. houses completely destroyed. zinc roofs lie on the ground. trees have been up rooted water receded several days ago. so people have been able to return to begin the process of cleaning up. but rebuilding is going to take a lot longer, weeks, months even now people here say they have received some aid from volunteers and also from the government. but it's still a long and difficult road ahead to replace what they've lost. a severe winter storm is sweeping across the united states. snow and extremely cold weather. coincides with a start of the holiday travel season. bicycle hey, has the latest for many wishing for a white christmas,

8:15 am
ah ah, ah lou ah, welcome back, a good reminder, top stories here at this hour. the congressional panel investigating last year's attack on the u. s. capital has released its final report. it says former president donald trump criminally engaged in a conspiracy to overturn the results of the 2020 election and failed to stop his

8:17 am
biotech 5 jobs in germany would be for use on german nationals. beijing has so far, insisted on using its own vaccines. love, 20000, around 20000 and germans can now benefits for this for the time being. at the same time, we're trying to ensure that in addition to german citizens and national foreigners or so called ex portraits can also benefit from such as well. i found a peasant kids from university college london. she says, china is vulnerable to a major outbreak. there is an immunity gap due to the 0 coven policy, which means that the majority of the population has not yet been exposed. and we do have an elderly population that been backing hesitant and it's been difficult to get the home grown vaccine available to this population. so those 2 factors mean that over 60 percent of the population can be hit in the next 90 days and is going to be very difficult to combat the tidal wave of covet 19 in the wake of
8:18 am
what has been really a 3 years of quite severe cubic restriction, but some described as draconian, but it did in fact prevent many debts and we're seeing sort of the almost the consequence of that success now because there are many people that will be experiencing who would for the 1st time. so i think that there's also an issue here that we could see not, not just myself, but other models predict that over a 1000000 people i could end of died from cove it as a result of not just this way, but the consequent waves that will emerge from the current outbreak, india is to start random cove in 1900 tests for international travelers arriving and it's airports. health officials are on the lookout for new current virus variants or partner at towne jones. i live now from new jersey, putney. so how is the government preparing for it? thinks could be arise in coven cases. so the
8:19 am
message from the government is care precaution is better than kill. and often the alarming reports of the outbreak in china as well as the optic in cases and several other countries. the government is stepping up precautions. it has also off dates to be on an alert. now, many of these measures are pretty standard. we've seen them through the course of the pandemic. so regarding air travel, there is no life band, but about 2 percent of all incoming international travelers are being tested at random at airports. the government is also specifically shacking the b f 7 varian that's fueling the outbreak in china, and has all states to send positive samples for sequencing. now there is no mass monday net nationally, but the state of karnataka has now reinstated a mass mandate indoors. there's also a renewed focus on vaccinations. now,
8:20 am
90 percent, almost all of the eligible population in india has received both dozes but only a quarter of those people have taken the both of those. so the government is encouraging people to get that 3rd or 4th dose. now, since the beginning of the pandemic, india has reported the 2nd highest number of colbert 19 cases. but over the last few months, there has been a steady decline. this morning. numbers show that overnight in the record, fewer than 200 cases. but there are fairs of what another such could do from a health perspective, you might remember the devastation caused by the death wave. in the summer of 2021 . when hospitals ran out of beds, there was a crunch in terms of oxygen supply. a funeral pyres of burning through the night. there are also concerns about what this could do to the economy when the economy is seriously struggling to recover. while inflation has eased over the last few weeks
8:21 am
. other economic parameters, specifically, economic growth is still looking bleak of and weaker than what was expected. i took them into a live 1st day in new to a public. thank you. women in afghanistan are protesting against a new policy that bans them from university is the latest restriction imposed by the taliban since it returned to power. last year, fenton monahan has more. yes. these protesters say they're being punished for wanting an education. has their, their demand is simple. a woman's right to go to university, but they say open defiance of the taliban government is increasingly putting them at risk. so good much mcgee. this is more even the tele been turned out demonstrations into violence. the girls were beaten and ripped. we ran away. some girls were arrested. i don't know what will happen. on tuesday, the taliban band,

8:24 am
my, the children of barn croft primary school be heading the musical st. autumn. ah, kids on vocals, parents handling video and editing with this cover of an 18 pop classic your the voice by john farnham, they're shooting for that most hallowed of british traditions. topping the charts for the christmas, number one single. ah not for 14, you're fine though. they're much more modest aim is to keep their school lights on and their teachers employed. ah, i've been a teacher since the late ninety's. ah, this is the worst i've ever known it. bon crosshead says the school is in a huge financial black hole, and it's not alone. it's absolutely country light. and i think if you spoke to any
8:25 am
had teacher in the country, they would say that and their school has been really badly hit by this earlier in the year, teachers wages went up box. the government did not give schools the money to pay for this, leaving them with serious budget deficits. bancroft hopes they can raise enough money to buy solar panels for the roof. cutting soaring energy bills might mean the school won't have to make staff redundancy in a year or 2, the teaching assistants that vulnerable and special needs children rely on for support. despite having fun with the video, the situation has left parents to sponsored. i'm really angry and you know, our children, they, they, you know, say like, i sort of not the future really we need to invest and then it's a bigger home is affecting schools everywhere and, and if it's very, very ring for the future of education in the whole country, you're the reason trying on this. oh, making noise in ne coke ah,
8:26 am
and things in that you mumsy, that every day. lee, my layer in new hampshire. stevenson, and i basically just was, i give you said he got another and he knew an old one practice of christmas number one would of course be a fantastic present for the kids and the parents of driscoll, but a better one would be the funding they need indeed, the funding that every cast strapped school across this country needs and isn't receiving at the moment or a challenge out a 0 london. now king charles, the 3rd will address the you. cain is 1st christmas day speech on sunday. it camps a to motors, year for the british monarchy and his ears. andrew simmons takes a look back at the last 12 months and the challenges facing the new king for the millions who follow british royalty 2022 will stand out in history for generations to come. the year queen elizabeth the 2nd celebrated 70 years on the throne. the
8:27 am
platinum jubilee. i think i might just put a knife, but it was also the year her extraordinary rain was to end. this was the last the world saw of her on the 6th of september, appointing her 15th prime minister at boehmer old castle in scotland. she died 2 days later, throughout her life. her majesty the queen, my beloved mother, was an inspiration, an example to me, and to all my family. and we owe her the most heartfelt debt. any family could owe to their mother. oh, load was a state key with pageant free and tradition. millions reacted with with spectrum formless. most of the british people had never known any other monarch. the queen's coronation was in june 1953 in westminster abbey. she was only $25.00 when she acceded to the throne, more than a year before. 70 years after his mother was crowned here,
8:28 am
king charles will have his coronation in westminster abbey. it will be steeped in centuries old tradition, but there will be a difference in tone and attempt to save money in difficult times for the economy of britain at $74.00. king charles will obviously have a much shorter rain than his mother, but he will face major difficulties. isolated incidents like this don't help but the public standing of king charles isn't his main problem. and while grumpiness may not be normal protocol, the reported feedback from this incident was mainly positive. royal watches saying it shows even a king can have a temper tantrum. serious issues abound, though not least, the role of prince andrew who stripped of royal duties and most of his titles,
8:29 am
a woman in the u. s. accused him of sexual assault when she was 17. he's made a financial settlement with her, but he denies any wrongdoing to describe what happened with an prince. angie's association with jeffrey, obscene and glen maxwell as a scandal, is in some waiting under state how horrific that is for the palace to have continued to give shelter and to give credibility is unbelievably damaging the hierarchy of the family. you know there's leaking but there's also plenty of sorts. prince harry and his wife megan michael presented potentially even more damaging issue your own freedom. like the 6 part docu series on netflix set out the couple's grievances and why they decided to leave royal duties. a move to the u. s. we can't disregard the impact to the harry and make and split. but i think it's pretty clear that the monarchy will
8:30 am
whether this, as it has so many of the storms, not one watches agree with that optimism though. other issues include a police inquiry into some of prince charles's charities over allegations that cash has been donated. in return for royal honors, there is consternation about the monarch his future in particular. it's 14 overseas realms. i still don't think that will see a republic during his life time, but i think the prospect of a republic ah, has drawn closer and i think a lot of the overseas rounds will depart during his reign. there's a big majority in favor of the monarchy in the u. k. but critics say king charles needs to make the royal family more relevant to british life and to crack down on scandals and excessive spending. andrew simmons alger zoom loved.
