feeling very happy with himself. kathryn stanczyszyn, bbc news. (pres)the headlines on bbc news... she got the ring and the cup, not bob. here are the headlines on bbc means. the number of new cases of coronavirus in england rises by around three quarters in just a week. these figures suggest that pandemic is growing. you can medicine regulate to follow the united states and approved the use of the pfizer vaccine for 12 to 15—year—olds. those are our headlines. now on bbc news it's stamping his watch. —— it is time for news watch. hello. welcome to news watch. the end ( dashed

variance, why it matters and what the latest strain of the covid—19 virus is called. and on the hottest day of the year, one unusually tiredness presenter is caught short by a wide shot in this video. there has been some worry over the past couple of weeks and political and medical circles. over the spread of a certain covid—19 variant in some areas of the uk. this is how up until the past few days it's been referred to. the scottish government has extended level three restrictions in glasgow for another week because of concerns about cases of the indian variant. the infections have climbed over the three weeks to 135 cases per 100,000. mostly thought to be the indian variant. in or out of areas in england where the indian variant is spreading. the scientific term for a the variance is b .1 .617.2 and some people would have preferred

that site the left snappy name to be used. epidemiologists explains why. it's been established that geographical references in disease and packaging names are stigmatizing... the indian government also criticised the use of the time and in response earlier this week the world health organization came up with some new names. ourfile world health organization came up with some new names. our file for they can experience, beta for the south african, dharma for the brazilian and delta for the indian. that elicited this response from aviva called mike. —— if we asked bbc news about this and they told us:.

as of the past few days, bbc reported to have mostly been using face rather cumbersome formulation. to contracted variant identified in india now known as delta continues and it's still not clear how fast it's writing. but the use of the term indian variant is still slipping through then act as can be seen from bea's website headlines from the past few days. gave it to us on thursday.

what should the variant to be called and does it matter? you can hear the view of a medical student who got in touch with us recently about this issue. thank you for coming on news watch. why are you so concerned with what the bbc calls this variant? i don't see the need for the region of the variant to be of any concern for the variant to be of any concern for the general public. the general public needs to know there is a near variant and a need to be more efficient but they don't need to know where it came from. that's not of any use to them. that's of the use of the government apply these new travel restrictions. the general publicjust needs to know they need to be more careful. and it's the government'sjob to be more careful. and it's the government's job to know where it came from. it's unnecessary. the more pressing reason is i think because it's a series of risk of racism that could occur because of

this and we have seen a an increase in hate crime against people of asian averaging over the past year because of so many high—profile figures around the world insisting on calling the original strain of the virus that china virus and i think it's completely unnecessary so i think we've already seen this happen once and i think continuing to cut it variant would spread racism and hate crimes occurring against a whole new group of people. the bbc has started referring to it as the variant first discovered in india to make it clear what the delta variance, then your name is referring to. is that any better? i think that who could called it delta variant and the bbc strength and team stats but less than 20 hours ago he saw another headline from the bbc when they headline was called the indian variant and then further down in the article they were to as the delta variant and i that's completely understandable because if

suddenly we made the switch people are not going to know what the delta daily meetings and that might cause panic because they might think this is a hole near variant. i think it's going to be hard to make that switch but my personal opinion is the general public figure should have already noticed this, they know they're ratings hate crimes against people and they should see this is very possible as we continue to call it the indian variant and although the who on said it now that they should be calling it a doubt variant, it's always been the who position that we should not be associating places with the virus level or variant. we've already seen that. who reaffirmed this in a treat and we have seen and themselves requested that it's not called the indian variant and we have seen nicola sturgeon stop calling it the indian variant almost two weeks ago because she foresaw that this could because she foresaw that this could be to hate crimes so i think the bbc might be trained now but this is too late. to might be trained now but this is too late. ., , ., ,
