facilities ahead of the holiday period. some fear the travel rush will lead to a new search of infections in rural areas, especially among the elderly. the government has issued guidelines, discouraging large gatherings and any trips that expose older people and pregnant women to the virus. but they've stopped short of enforcing any bands for junk. the warnings are too little, too late. adding to his frustration, the knowledge, his loved ones were probably not added to the official virus death toll on his aunt's death certificate. the cause of death is described as heart failure. katrina, you al jazeera dating. meanwhile, hong kong has announced people infected with covey 19 will no longer be required to quarantine. the business harp has been scrapping the last of his restrictions and opening back up to the world. last week. high speed strains between hong kong and mainland china resumed service. it follows beijing's decision to end. it's

that. and so today i'm announcing that i will not be seeking re election and then my tumors, prime minister will conclude no later than the 7th of february when he has more from auckland's. the announcement from justin to reduce that she would be resigning, came as a complete surprise to everyone in new zealand. it wasn't that long ago after all that. she said she would definitely be seeking a 3rd term and office when the election is held this year. and that was the other big announcement from her that the election date has been set for the 14th of october this year. she of course will not be contesting that election. in fact, she says she will be in office no longer than february the 7th. so the labor party caucus will now meet this coming sunday to vote in a new party leader and prime minister. and that person will go on to contest that

election. the timing of this announcement is interesting, and the main reason that she's given for resigning is that it's simply time are that she feels she doesn't have what it takes anymore at to lead the country to go for a 3rd term in office. but her popularity, according to opinion polls had been declining, and there was a growing sense that it would become increasingly difficult for her at to win that election, the closer we got to it. so how will she be remembered despite those declining numbers in the opinion polls, she'll go down in history, i think out fairly well in terms of her memory. she'll be remembered as a crisis. prime minister, one who was able to communicate very well, particularly in some of museums darkest times. as she led you zealand through of course, the mosque shootings and christ church in 2019 the for cardi white island volcanic eruption later. that same year that claimed the lives of $22.00 people. and of course, the coven 19 pandemic when she led out what was regarded as

a world leading response to that crisis. but increasingly, new zealand is felt that the government began to overreach. the longer the pandemic went on and affect the since was rightly or wrongly at that while the rest of the world was reopening you zealand was taking too long to do so that history will judge her again as a leader who was able to handle some of these ellen's darkest moments, perhaps better than any one else could have as thank you back now to this breaking your story out of israel, israel releasing one of his long as hell, palestinian israeli prisoners that speak to i'm at my hotel. he says, ally from my, her eunice, his home in iraq. israel tell us about what's happening, where you are. i mean, this looks like a big celebration despite israeli authorities banning celebrations after the needs of his president. so after many hours in eager anticipation of mary eunice is
