ah, people in bay ging line up to get nasal spray boosters. cases are surging after the government abruptly ended. it's strict 0 covered policy. in the wake of nationwide protests against the restrictions authorities are trying to persuade reluctant seniors and others at risk to get vaccinated to prevent large scale outbreaks, hospitalizations, and death. those already showing symptoms make their way to temporary clinics set up around the city like is public gymnasium, where they can get medical advice and treatment. others are opting to stay home either because they're already sick or trying to avoid infection. that means deliveries of food and every day items are in heavy demand. but scores of workers are also coming down with the virus. so packages pile up on

the streets unclaimed. in china's financial hub, shanghai schools of switch to online classes as cases, sore nurseries, and child care centers are also set to close across the country. people were quick to return to old habits when the restrictions were eased. crowding shopping malls, subway stations, restaurants only, and for young people, it's about going out traveling and enjoying life. and many popular places are already full and it's difficult to make reservations. life is returning to pre pandemic levels. koya is uday and us home. the freedoms have come at a price. the official death toll remains low at a little more than $5200.00. but experts believe the real figure is many times higher and that china may be facing its worst serge. yet, in the build up to the winter travel season and lunar new year when hundreds of

millions of workers will travel home by road rail and air journalist fabi and christmas in beijing. and earlier he gave us a sense of the skype of the infections in china. the official number say you have become unreliable, really useless because some people are simply stopped testing at the designated testing side. most of them infections are unreported. so we have to use some other mirrors. he and beijing were many of correspondence are we can do on the round research and, you know, interview people and i spoke to many a chinese who's m, you know, colleagues were literally is suffering 90 percent, her f under colbert symptoms. so most of them are infected, and that's also what i've been hearing from my own personal network. i would say that the majority of bridging a st already been infected and you can see that it's really an extreme stress test because her infections are rising a. so rapidly and especially in the beginning of this rice, it wasn't an world really long queues in front of the fever clinics. and we know

that from reports that are also the crematorium center, a funeral homes are working overtime. so of course isn't really extreme stress test, but sulfide seems the health system is holding up. but i mean, the real tests will come in. the more provincial am areas in the west of china because they don't, haven't asked develop medical system as we do here in beijing or so other big cities like shanghai and extreme stress testers. as you say, fabian could all authorities bring back the strict measures that led to these widespread protests recently across china? no, those locked downs were basically aimed to contain the virus. but i mean, now it's impossible to contain a virus. it is so fast spread, basically are all around the country and are there it's really irreversible. there's no turning back. what we will, however, likely see is some mitigate dition or mitigation effort. some efforts to slow the spread of the virus. for example, in shanghai, the schools have been close early or, you know,

in some cities the elderly homes were, will i was suspend, any, you know, of visitors. so this we will see but am for any lockdown. so it's entirely not possible doesn't even make sense, of course, and it will only buy you a little bit of time. i think am the problem of 0 move. it was that there was no exit plan. and, and the reason we opened is some, are the, the economy was deteriorating, so now there's no turning back to 0, covert fabiani christmas in beijing there. thank you. ok, let's get a round up of some other world use headlines. now. the e u has agreed to reform it's carbon market with the aim of a 62 percent emissions cut by 2030. currently electricity producers and industries with high energy demands can buy allowances to cover their carbon admissions. it's hope the deal will decrease these quarters and encourage investment in green now technology picture. japan is lodge the strong protest after north korea 5 to
