the live pictures. this is dated when the news live from the man in the u.k. sounds the alarm over the new coronavirus ferry and prime minister boris johnson says there's now evidence to suggest as well as more contagious than any taishan may also be deadly also on the program supporters of jail kremlin critic election about only take to the streets of tehran as rallies across russia that's despite police warning that don't break up any protests the 1st demonstrations says to

rally return to russia last weekend. and it was goals galore as bloodbath put a dent in goldman's going does make a title hopes in a thrilling battle of the brosius. i'm rebecca riches welcome to the program and it's the news we were hoping not to hear british prime minister barak johnson says there's now evidence to suggest the new coronavirus variant 1st detected in the u.k. is not only more contagious but more deadly as well i mean attention has now spread to more than 60 countries and britain itself is struggling to bring infections under control. it's a relentless nightmare for health care workers across the u.k. the shifts are physically and emotionally grueling campus lives cannot be saved

many more people have been hospitalized then during the 1st peak last april and a coronavirus ferry and known as b 117 is playing a significant role in the suffering scientists say it's almost certainly more infectious and now government health advisers believe it could be more deadly though they caution the assessments based on sparse data we've been informed today that in addition to spreading more quickly it also appears that there is some evidence that the new variant the very that was 1st identified in london in the scythe east may be associated with a higher degree of mortality the u.k. has one of the highest death rates from covert in the world almost 100000 people have lost their lives with ethnic minorities disproportionately affected those groups are also more likely to refuse vaccinations when offered them so authorities

are trying to tackle mistrust dissin from asian must have joined the campaign to persuade skeptical muslims that the key message is the vaccination this vaccination is effective and over the nation is. missable under under all sort of readings of the religion in the u.k. he's been making good progress with inoculation administering jobs to a larger percentage of its population than any other european country but the government says restrictions won't be eased until infections have dropped and it's sure the vaccination program is working. our correspondent being asked is standing by for us in london to get at these new findings likely to change the u.k.'s response to the pandemic. this is the question being asked for a back up but for the moment the answer from the prime minister is no because the u.k. is already in

a pretty strict lockdown i live in central london the streets here are really mostly empty because people are not coming into offices to work they are staying at home they're working from home if they can the schools are closed sencha workers can send their children to school so they say it is already pretty straight however also we know from from data that the mobility is still a little bit higher than it used to be in the fast locked and so so questions keep being also exactly who is more mobile and is that really is that really necessary and for example finds all debate should there be more fines almost straight to enforcement of the lockdown rules what about travel restrictions could this these findings lead to tougher border restrictions both in both directions. definitely that's that's very much being had of the moment not only in the u.k. but also in the us some countries have already flights and ferries from the u.k.

like the netherlands for example so this is countries trying to protect themselves against new variance so this new variant is now dominant in the u.k. and other european countries are hoping that they can keep it at bay because it is transmissible and now it seems also possibly more deadly the u.k. itself though also wants to protect itself because the inoculation program is pretty successful here so far over 7 percent of the population has already received . experts medical experts are hoping that this would have an effect and the u.k. does also debate whether there should be border closures in order to protect the u.k. from other variants across the world indeed well the a you would be right to be concerned because europe's coronavirus vaccination rollout is facing a bit of a setback with drug maker astra zeneca telling the commission it won't be able to

deliver the agreed volumes of its coded 19 vaccine within the agreed time frame astra zeneca which developed its vaccine the university said it would have to cut initial deliveries to the e.u. by 60 percent the company was expected to supply are around 18000000 doses by the end of march it's blaming the reduction on production problems at a factory in belgium. big hasn't even approved the vaccine yet and the company says the delay will be temporary how much of a setback is the case. well across the u.k. and also across across the e.u. there is an absolute race against time because we know that obviously vaccination the the the availability of all these vaccine is is for the moment is the problem really across the world say so countries are basically scrambling for $44.00 vaccines we know that in the u.k.

there is a target to until mid february to inoculate at least was one of the most vulnerable groups of the population but also government ministers admit it's pretty tight and this is. a situation that's replicated across the e.u. really when i'm being it must been to us from london thanks very much let's turn now to some of the other stories making headlines today some 10000 hong kong those have been ordered to stay in their homes for 2 days as the city battles a fresh corona virus outbreak residents in a poor and densely populated area and a cow loon district will undergo compulsory testing before being allowed to leave thousands of police have been deployed to enforce the lockdown. the start date for the impeachment trial against former u.s. president donald trump has been pushed back to the week of the 8th of february senate majority leader chuck schumer announced the delay which will give the senate
