scientists call it a variant factory. what data is the government using to back up this decision? how will be u. k. learn to live with the virus? well, looking at those rising case numbers, but what they're also looking at is a number of hospitalizations and death. so just to give you an example, yesterday 24000 cases reported, but just 15 does clearly know when me the number of apologies that we saw during the 1st wave over the winter period when you are seeing similar is not high numbers . so they are looking at that and saying that the u. k. successful vaccination campaign is very much weakening the link between cases hospitalizations and death them to that reason they feel confident going forward. i mean, just look at the numbers. 86 percent of the population has had one dice in the backseat and he's 163 percent of had 2 doses. but on the other side of that there are some fine to warning that loosening restriction completely going ahead with

4:09 pm
a portion of the elderly people are not still vaccinated for various reasons. some vaccination people also have been infected. for now the number needing hospital treatment remains low, although the figures are rising. so we do see people who actually acquired the delta after being immunized and they can transmitted yet, there are chances to be severely ill to be hospitalized or to die or slim. so we, so we definitely see a very important role for the innovation can use really government is pushing for 12 to 15 year olds to be a knock. elated now with the bio tech 5 vaccine. prime minister, enough tally bennett is appealing to young people directly. and you know, that come up with some of the guys that i know how much you want to enjoy the summer and you can, i also have 4 kids your age and they to want to enjoy the summer. we don't want to

for around a week, hungary and prime minister victor or boston has been placing full page political adverts in some of europe's leading newspapers. today the ad appeared in germany's biggest selling tabloid built in accusers, brussels of building its own, quote, super states that nobody authorized and list hungary proposals for the future of the european union. these include the strengthening of national parliaments and standing against closer european integration. the ad claims you citizens must also be saved from what it calls the dangerous challenge of migration. a number of newspapers say they refused to run the at our course funding to pay. i mean, it has been following the story. i mean, why is victor or by doing this? there are several reasons for that. on one side is the external pressure that
4:13 pm
hungary is facing over the n t l g b t q law that the parliament passed a few weeks ago. so he is trying, with this communication, push to go to several european newspapers to show that he's defending hungary position also inside of the european union. and another side of course, is also internal pressure there parliamentary elections coming up in hungary next year. and it's not looking good for victor all by and, and his leading party. so that's why i'm trying now to approach several newspapers to try to show this suggestions that sound rather like demands for the european union. some outlets refused to run this ad on what grounds? that's right. several media organization says that that they don't want to give a platform to a politician that they say subverting human rights in press freedom. a belgian newspaper, for example, did not publish this ad and is that published a rainbow with their words and mr. all bon law should never distinguish love from
4:14 pm
love. so there are several newspapers who said that victor alba should not be given this platform. and this happened on a day that today, for example, him, he was placed also on a list by reporters with a board us as the only european leader joining several of the leaders. and that he is attacking the freedom of the press and also pressing on judges and on other several communications and media organizations. that is also why he's trying to push now and to say that this is a sample and hungry is defending. now this opinion that he is expressing in these ads is not a popular or a wide spread opinion among the member states, but or by isn't completely alone with his proposed approaches. he, he is not completely alone and he also, these positions also get support by and other european countries. for example, poland also levine, l slovak,
4:15 pm
here. and there are the right wing politicians in germany and france in spain, who also support him here and have been criticizing the european union this linelle slovak here. and there are the right wing politicians in germany and france in spain, who also support him here and have been criticizing the european union. this latest discussion with and the prime minister of hungary is only the last of a series of discussions that he has had with the blog ranging form pressure on just as pressure on press freedom and also about migration that he's also addressing. and so does that. you intend to respond to mr or benz initiative, the spokesperson or the german government was asked about that earlier today. he did not refer to to that that was published. but he said that is important. and also in the charter of rights of the european union. they have been several politicians in brussels who have replied to this.
