a long rows, s u. so as in to the springs at yellowstone, we will not do very well. in fact, we'll do much better now since japan and brazil were among the latest to report, alma kron cases making a total of 20 countries so far it by the rapidly spreading code which strike is another, dear god, god. as they are somewhat to see the effect of yes they, they do irritate the eyes of the throat with me a little bit. also this i, we report from the scene of protests in sudan where tens of thousands have marched against military rule following last month's cape and high school shoot. you meet, you can leave at 3 students dead. and 8 people injured have 15 year old is under arrest or sex, come twitter gets a new boss who believes the online giant shouldn't be too preoccupied by freedom of speech. ah

and i well can you watching at international now japan has registered his 1st on the current case less than 24 hours after the country. seeing its board is to foreigners as a protective measure against the new mutated code which strain it echoes the world health organizations earlier conclusion that it's too little too late for blanket travel bands as on the chrome has already spread around the world. yet now effects 20 countries. most of them in europe. charlotte davinsky has more europe's fight against the idea of importing this super mutant strain of coven 19 looks like it's already lost its 1st battle. the health authorities are now suggesting that on the con, was present on the continent at least 10 days before it was identified by our researches in south africa. that means that it may have been discovered down in the south

africa, but not necessarily originated that. and that could lead to more weight added to the claims of we heard from some presidents of african countries earlier this week that they feel that they're being punished with the travel bands that are currently in place. because there were searches were able to identify this new strain of covert 19. now meantime, many a questioning as we heard there, whether the vaccines are going to be efficient against this new strain, which apparently is widely different from the original strain of covey. 19 we've heard from the ceo of madonna, who said that he is not sure that they will be as effective. however, the head of european medicines agency has said, even if they're not effective, there will be new vaccines developed soon. we could be in a position, but were there a need to change the existing vaccines? we could be in a position to have those approved within 3 to 4 months. thus from the

start of the, of the time when they would start to, to, to change. and that's work that the companies will do. this version of the covey 19 variant has considerable uncertainties attached to it. it may be able to evade the body's immune system. now in light of that many countries are bringing in new restrictions and are pushing again for those who are unvaccinated, to go and get a job. for example, in greece, they have just now stated that from next month in january, though sure, age 60 or over and refused to be vaccinated, will now have a fine of a 100 years every month. they refused to get that job. meanwhile, austria is pushing ahead. however, with its plans to meet the vaccination mandatory for everyone, and they're saying that there will be a 3 strike system there on that 3rd strike. if you still refuse to get vaccinated, you'll receive a fine of 3600 euros. you have a month of me, we didn't want

a vaccine mandate. let me make that explicit sex gown, but 20 months on from the start of the pandemic. we are in a situation that is dramatic. if you look at intensive care units at hospitals, many had been hoping that 2021 would see an end or close to the cove. it 19 pandemic will. it seems that that a virus and its variance, including the super mutant strain, are certainly far from ready to go away. or so far here in russia there are no reports of former chron infections. however, developers are confident that the country's sputnik the job would provide enough protection from the new variant w h i representative in russia does say to that progress is being made and understanding the strain, although more work needs to be done. well, a mutation shows a number of i would say changes a number of notations that we can relate to something either to previous knowledge

. for example, the buyer at the very end has mutations. many more mutations on the spike. propane is actually the, the needle that the virus is using to, getting to the south to make us infected, to actually call infection, to spread further. and this is why, because it has many more, and other viruses are the variance. each has immediately come into concert. so i think they just acknowledge, but we don't have, i think them, you all the logical knowledge you telling us at the moment that this is a more deadly virus. what we know from south africa is that mainly young people and this is where the cluster was detected. and we do know that callie's been young. people is lighter. we do not have reports at this moment that it is causing more severe disease or that it is more lethal. this is not something that we should speculate off. we really need a bit more time. and this is why we have said that there is no place for panic,

but there is place for preparedness, proportion, and action. all the producers of ac seems all over the world. i testing now they are doing are in laboratory they're looking at how the, neutralizing antibodies are behaving against this variant. and who knows? so by the key thing is that if the, well, the good you was all the available methods. number one, vaccination number 2 masks, and based on saying number 3, ventilating, close spaces, and number 4, hygiene that will dramatically reduce the transmission if we manage to get the vaccines to the populations, which will have the vaccines. when managed to reach the level of coverage, which is pretty high for any disease, any vital disease you need less than 10 percent of susceptible population not will have major outbreak. but even with 80 percent you can't control the,

our brakes because this disease that is causing as symptomatic issues. but we have to, we have to comply, we have to and we have to work together. in other news, tens of thousands of march in the sudanese capital cartoon against the military government following last month's qu, security forces try to break up. the crowds with tear gas from one of the protests were aghast if sent this report as tennis is being fired by us, should a nice police to disperse these protest? 30, a few 100 people hear these tear gas canisters that the outdated, so that beyond due date. so the effect that they have isn't quite as powerful as if they had been pressure to people can comfortably pick them up, throw them away and play this game with police officers. and police evidently weren't having any of that. and these are, it is getting

a bit uncomfortable here. eyes are beginning to sting as well as people's throats. but police are again forcing people back, asking them to disperse people here. nevertheless, are i still angry? i still angry. they still believe the revolution has been stolen from them. when i heard is another tear gas canisters they're being fired by police to this bus. this bus produce this year, dana today was supposed to be a $1000000.00 men, much a protest against the military stake over, as they say, protest this year of the government, this all young voices. but this again is it's government. they want us even young government. what does it of up and kill people?

the people who need agreement piece is justice. many people here feel betrayed by the actions of the prime minister, the civilian government, who agreed to the military demands the militaries, demands that they hand over a part of their policy to the military. we are out against hum duke and brew hon their political agreement. and this government, so we are not pleased with this work and the political games we are industries because no one rules us and no one can ruin. we rule ourselves. we have the go. oh it's a, it's getting her, it's becoming unbearable. i guess if they're in sudan, now he's just stir, take into his new job as twitter as ceo, but perhaps i could, a wall is already buffing feathers for our face, if more clamped and on content at the social network because of his past comments about not prioritizing freedom of speech,

what twitter has already moved to ban the sharing of photos and videos of people without their consent. baez's can i fact the image and it will be removed or the pan though doesn't apply to public figures. if the tweet date to be of public interest low, it seems to the platform itself will decide on that ah, rule is known to be bound by the 1st amendment now moves reflective of things that we believe lead to a healthier public conversation. focus less on thinking about free speech with it's not gonna make a distinction between muslims and extremists. then what should i distinguish between white people embraces, ah,

ah, dorsey, on the far from both parties defends labeling tweets. twitter deliberately prevented users from sharing contra vital laptops or tweaks at bands trumps account, citing risk bertha violence. darcy sas company was wrong to block your cross country biden's story. dec dorsey has been kind of on the, on the way of being forced out for some time. he has some activist investors who have been heavily involved in this company who wanted him out for some time. he says he's going to go focus on bitcoin. can he loves decentralization lies by the way he loves big coin because he wants to control the space, not because he believes the centralization hadn't said that. love jack dorothy was probably going to be on his way out. anyways, as i said, because of those investors. but i think the bigger issue now is his replacement, his replacement, who was even more anti free speech than he is. in fact,

these new rules are, were just instituted just today by twitter. they came out and essentially said that you cannot take pictures of anyone who's a 3rd party private individual and post it on the platform without their consent. and that's insane. what does that mean for like project veritax? what does that mean for any whistleblower? what does that mean for anyone who just takes a picture out in public? the supreme court is already that when you're in the public space, you have no expectation of privacy. so what twitter is essentially saying is that there are no rules in the world, including laws that surpass its own policies and it's policies are below. the lamp for students have been killed innate, other people injured, including a teacher in a school shooting in the u. s. state of michigan, please say that the 15 year old suspect 5 more than a dozen shots from a semi automatic hand gun. however, he surrendered 5 minutes after police responded. a police officer stationed at the school helped detainer suspecting to say that no shots were fired during the arrest, and a teenager gave up without

a struggle. while the motives for the attack do remain unclear, though, and the suspect to so far, refused to cooperate further. one mother describe the atmosphere at the school. actually the threat was standing there and i hear your voice in. if you come to this school, you're gonna, you're gonna get shot or not. you are. so if you don't want to get caught, you should stay home. a lot of keith, of the ones that i do not did not want to go to school. they haven't been met one to stay at school. so this is not something this give, you know, but then it gets up to date and say, i don't want to go to school. something has been going on after high there to think even if he is not one to go to school. will have been 28 school shootings this year . most of them since august in 2020 by comparison the were 10, although that big difference is probably due to a shift to remote learning for nearly all schools last year. while we talk to news anchor and commentator john de master about the ongoing problem of gun violence in

america, you start to think about back when, when we went to school, they didn't have metal detectors. didn't have happened the things that they have now. and even with all these precautions, somehow things still happen. you know, how did, how did they get them in the 1st place that somebody help them? those are all the questions that law enforcement that police are asking. right now . we want your answers for, you know, a few days. i'm sure, maybe a week it, it depends how quickly they can put it all together. but how do you completely stop something like this? and then when you take away weapons to take away guns, you run the danger of how do you protect yourself? and if somebody does get a hold of one, you know, chances are they, they don't have them legally. how do you protect yourself daily? you run the risk of taking, taking weapons away completely. and can you ever really get rid of them? ukraine is urging nato to boost military cooperation and prepare sanctions against small sco in order to protect the country from russian aggression. that as the nato summit in latvia enters his 2nd day, fully black pace and did,

and russia had tested a new powerful hypersonic weapons. and says that the development of these types of missiles is in response to the pentagon, escalating tensions with the criminal if missile sites appear on the territory of ukraine and the flight time of missiles to moscow will be 7 to 10 minutes. and the case of hypersonic weapons 5 minutes. imagine that what else can we do? we will be forced to create similar sites as a reaction to those who threaten us in this way. and we can do it now because we have successfully tested a hypersonic missile. and at the beginning of the year, we will already have new c based miss 1000 service, which can travel speeds to mark 9. the flight time for these missiles will also be 5 minutes. why are we doing all this? creating such threats for us is the red line, but i hope it doesn't come to that common sense and the joint responsibility for all countries and for the well community will prevail. well, meanwhile,

the russian aggression narrative does seem to be dominant in western countries at the moment as night say, and the you ask, whom russia not to interfere in the politics of european sovereign states. and as i have stated several times, thought there will be a hoist, a high price to pay for russia if that once again use force against the independence over in the ocean ukraine. and also. busy over the years also increased our military presence in this region, just to make sure that all our laws are totally defended, unprotected an instant against the russian resurrections. the global posture of you strengthens the combat, credible deterrent against russian aggression in europe. and enables nato forces to operate more effectively. we continue to watch with great concern movements by russian military units near the ukraine border. i obviously can't speak to their

their intentions, but we continue to believe that any escal latoria aggressive actions would be a great concern not only to the united states and i have but hello to our allies and partners there on the european cotton, former un weapons inspector, scott ritter to tell us that he thinks that nighttime is playing a very dangerous game. there's nothing about what nato is doing right now. that makes any sense whatsoever. at the end of the day, they're only playing to russian strength. it's a very dangerous game because as president goodness said, of russia has read lives in that these red lines aren't just figurative. they're real. and there will be real consequences if these red lines are continue to be violated. as far as anybody can tell, is not prepared to invade ukraine unprovoked. if ukraine attacks or otherwise provoked russia, russia will respond. but the notion of russia just starting a war of aggression against ukraine, out of the blue,

is ludicrous and nato knows this. we need to put this into perspective of where nato and the u. s. is right now, under the trump administration, the relationship between the united states, nato, was a very strained war, and it didn't get any better under bye. and nato right now is looking for relevance and looking to reassemble assemblies of substance. they can pick the only target they have right now, which is russia, and there's nothing nato can do to stand up to it. so why is natal provoking russia? it simply doesn't make any sense that while the well a sanctioned watch, then how events that will unfold. the u. k. foreign secretary, his trust is at creasing on a battle thank with british troops in estonia, the p. austin has been marked on the line now with that sum, noticing a case of margaret thatcher in the pa, politicians at parents. not still had he decided seen n suspends. it's still thank a chris claim, i think, and broiled in a sexual harassment scandal involving his brother, the former governor of new york. when i look at that story press of his take to stop this

for ah ah, ah ah, from supporters and conservative media spare no energy, dallas democrats are going to bar there to the left. is that really true?

let majority of all voters say they support universal pre kc free community college and low drug prices. so is going to far left really about the culture wars. ah ah, ah ah. hello daniel. without international now cnn has suspended one of its top anchors. chris cuomo over his role in advising his brother, the former governor of new york during a sexual harassment scandal. a backlash erupted off to chrome. i was back on there with his show on monday. if this story is accurate, he describes a series of shocking ethical breaches, farmable offences at any other news outlet. not surprised him,

the least embarrassing to any honorable journalist. it's hard to imagine any news executive keeping chris cuomo on stuff after today's revelations. then again, as seen and likes to say this is cnn. amazing. as chris cuomo still has a cushy job at cnn, after flagrantly violating journalistic ethics. while chris cuomo alleged to use his sources in the media to seek information on women who accused his brother, andrew, of sexual harassment, incriminating text messages though, between the anchor and the governor's former top aid. listen to rose. i have been released by the attorney general, and cnn did say that they show a greater level of involvement than they were previously aware of. i have a lead on the weather girl room a go in the round from politico want to more people coming out to morrow care check . yes sir. says on it. no one has heard that

he is. did you get any more intel? seen an anchor though? does insist he was not closely advising his brother, and that he had only a regular contact with the governor's aid, legal, immediate, unless they line or to say that the messages to you tell a different story, a suspended indefinitely. what is that mean? if somebody is in a coma indefinitely, i, i think i think the writings on the wall, but to be fair. this was a high paid $6000000.00 a year, cnn prime time anchor, who basically was texting his brothers, political advisor, explaining exactly what he was going to do. show of there's a crime for being stupid. he should get the death penalty because that's just insane. he had to do it, was somebody's approval. he had to have the approval of cnn for him to go in here. he didn't even really address. would you figure?

well, i'm just going to just move on water under the bridge. we'll just move along. you know, remember, this is, this is a person who has incurred the wrath and the resentment of a lot of his colleagues and journalists across the board. this was the fellow during coven, who claim to be living in a basement. when others saw him out and about me lie after lie of your lie. chrome old. how did was enough. he needs to just leave leg people. forget about him. we call this the united states of amnesia. cheers. wait, go. birthplace of rum. andreana. barbados is cut ties with britain cocked, nearly 400 years. the caribbean nation has officially dismissed the queen as head of state and declared itself an independent republic or prince charles did attend the ceremony in the capital bridge time. on behalf of the queen where governor

general send for mason was sworn in as the islands president express hopes, too, that the kn barbados would remain strong friends. but they're all concerns that the transition could encourage other members of the british commonwealth like australia and jamaica to jump ship to australian historian jennifer hawking told me it is long as the g for countries to gain full independence is tremendously significant. of course, this is really mocking the final severance solved slot war before my colonial ties to britain. it's, you know, these aquatic soon re, connections that remain with the colonizing power for a long time, even after independence has taken hold. sorry, it's taken that long both for the legal requirements, the constitutional issues to be worked through. and of course, to gain the popular momentum for a change by thieves which does tight some generations for it to really tight holds

of the population to support it. as indeed i had in right number in barbados, you think other countries and are gonna follows? so you tell me more about estrella all look at the commonwealth nations and there now i think she's staying or mining a constitutional monarchy for which the queen is still the queen and the head of sight of those countries. i'm certain they, it's a natural progression and all life countries, including australia, will be looking very carefully at this. i mean, i find that as a historian, but also as a proud republican myself, i'm on the board of the most trying republican movement. i find it slightly humiliating both of us as an australian, and also as a, as a general citizen, that our country still swayed allegiance in that way. in that our head of site is the quain. and i think it's long overdue for all former colonies to, to move towards full independence and an ability to shape baker street in the why. now, that doesn't deny that history,

but builds on and look forward for ourselves. a report on the deforestation of the amazon claims that some famous fashion company, such as prod, annika and addie das, a contributing to the destruction of the rain forest through their production of leather and leather goods in the region. when, according to the research, some of the companies are likely violating their own policies against sourcing leather from brazil, while most don't even have relevant rules in place. the lead author of the report, greg haig says that the companies need to, though every step in the production of that goods. you know, we've been doing this kind of research for 2 decades and we kind of kind of come across as time and time again where, where companies feel that they're the relieved of responsibility because of supply chains are complex. but it's actually the entirely the opposite. you know, the supply chains that they've created are their own creation and it's complete their responsibility of the brands that are supplying the product to the consumer

to ensure their own suppliers and supply chains are free for problems. if the company is unable to verify its own supply chains by asking suppliers to take certain kind of course of action, and then perhaps they need to consider switching suppliers. but according to the government itinerary 7000000 has if the preceding rain forests have been destroyed over the last decade or say, great cakes again, says that authorities do need to step up and not be complicit in the destruction. obviously in brazil, the, the key decision maker is a brazilian government, so they're the only ones that have the legal authority to change the system in order to stop deforestation. but there's been a record of complicit involvement and deforestation where we've seen the rates of deforestation increase year by year over the last decade. the brazilian government is not taking responsibility to stop the deforestation, but nobody really knows a psychology that's going on aside. everyone's head inside the company. there are some people inside the company that have really strong moral imperative to take action, and they want to take action or others that are simply doing it to increase revenue

. you know, it doesn't really matter to me what the motivation is because it comes down to the action we have to take. if they are that they make money in the process by becoming green companies. that's absolutely fine, but we can't let the earth be destroyed. that's what it comes down to the amazon rain forest is the most iconic reinforce and the most of about of us in the plan, it's already moving towards tipping point where it's starting to become in places that emitter of carbon dioxide rather than a sequester already. because of human interference, 2 percent of global c o 2 emissions is not a small issue to be taken lightly. now print shop states if they say here, not international thanks the company assassinate mo, from us in 30 minutes. you were to, there was bad. your eyes and your post. yeah. that it would stop you from having real friends and finding a girlfriend. but what they fail to mention is that you could make thousands of

dollars every weekend by simply playing video getting a station even a couple of them. but we formed the solution that was showing it's a little under property for georgia resume the prison yet. okay. much for to do so, please don't don't of course to make video games a high paying job. you have to be gifted and quick with it. hang on to a spike, to parents, to little bit close to listening. brought in this sounds a webpage, bentley up from youngs produce park even established yet gala boy, when you mouse storm you my video it out or you me. i was at news, few are guy of the owner, but i will that be cool. it will still be se odd to do. i also use join me every thursday on the alex simon. sure. and i'll be speaking to guess when the world politics sport business. i'm show business, i'll see you then. ah

ah hello and welcome to cross off. were all things considered? i am peter lavelle. trump supporters and conservative media spare no energy, dallas democrats are going too far there to lefty. is that really true? majority of all voters say they support universal pre k free community college and low drug prices. so is going to far left really about the culture wars. i cross talking democrats, i'm joined by my guess, kevin chavez and why.
