a long process you so as in to the springs at yellowstone, and we will not do very well, bacteria will do much better. since japan and brazil are among the latest to report on the chrome cases, making almost 2 dozen countries so far hit by the rapidly spreading code strain coming out, we speak to have our ologist from the center that created this, put the vague job and what to expect from this new variance and in the cases we're seeing now everyone has a mild form. on the other hand, there's no doubt on how we can effect elderly people. want to wait another month or so to be sure. is another to you guys got us that they are somewhat seat of active . yes they, they do irritate the eyes of the front, but only a little bit. also, a report from the scene of protests in sudan were tens of thousands of marched against military rule following last month, coo and cnn. suspends its top anchor chris cuomo, after he's enrolled in

a sexual harassment scandal involving his brother, the former governor of new york. the same governor who allegedly hid the true toll of corrode a virus death among care, home residence in new york. ah . oh hi, welcome to the program life marty's world news age q. my name is kevin. oh, and i've got 30 minutes of my latest for you. and 1st, the new cove straight alma krohn continues to raise concerns around the world as denmark and i was confirmed that a person infected with omicron was apparently at a concert, attended by almost 2000 people, ramifications of that sofa known while japan is registered. its 1st on the chrome case, less than 24 hours after the country sealed its borders to foreigners. as a protective measure against the new mutated coven strain,

it echoes the world health organizations early conclusion that, that it's too little too late for blanket travel bands is on the chromosome ready spread to many countries around the world, shall it depends. he's got the latest. europe's fight against the idea of importing this super mutant strain of covet 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 the european medicines agency has said, even if they're not effective, there will be new vaccines developed soon. we could be in a position that were either a need to change the existing vaccines. we could be in a position to have those approved within 3 to 4 months. us from the start of the, of the time when they would store 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 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 jab. 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 back in a, did you receive a fine of 3600 euros you hadn't once dismissed? we didn't want to vaccine mandate. let me make that explicit sex. got that 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 close to the cove. it 19 pandemic will. it seems that that a virus and its variance,

including the super meeting strain, are certainly far from ready to go away. so far here in russia, there are no reports of on the cross infections, but the developers, the countries sputnik, the java, confident it'll provide sufficient protection against the new strain. and further, in the unlikely case, it doesn't, a modified version of the vaccine would go into production in just $45.00 days. that she for ologist at moscow's gum, a layer research center which developed the sputnik v job telling r t that the new cobit straight actually pays to have been weakened by its mutations. stood lynbrook oregon. what does the army crime? varian has turned to mutations and spike protein, including mutations that already existed, as well as new mutations and its origin isn't clear, but $32.00 mutations is too many. while some people are terrified, i find that aspect rather favorable effort mutated 32 times. that means it has an unstable genome. i suspected system controlling the accuracy of its genome has

become damaged. if so, it will be weak. it can spread well because of natural selection. but as pathogenesis might have been greatly reduced, in the cases we're seeing now. everyone has a mild form. no one has died so far. on the other hand, there's no doubt on how it can effect elderly people. will have to wait another month or so to be sure. was it at the show? how did it emerge? love, you see viruses don't ask anyone for permission. they live, they mutate a natural selection, works in favor of what can reproduce well, but the degree of pathogenic city isn't guided by natural selection, as it's not very important. and this variant has undergone. so many mutations, a virus doesn't need so many mutations to reproduce is a sign of genetic instability other day to day, tens of thousands of march to the sidney's capital cartoon against the military government. after last month's co, the security forces tried to break up the crowds with tear gas from one of the protest. road gas diva. cd correspondent, reporting next as tennis is being flagged by us, should

a nice police to disperse these protest. 30, a few 100 people hear these tear gas canisters that the outdated, so there are 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, are still angry. i still angry. they still believe the revolution has been stolen from what i heard is

another tear gas canisters. they're being fired by police to this bus, this bus produce this year. and then today we're supposed to be a $1000000.00 man march. i want to protest against the military takeover as they say, protest this year of the government, this all young voice is what this again is, is government. they want us even young government. what does it give up and kill people? the people in, in 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 power to the military. we are out against hum duke and brew hon their political agreement and the 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. it's a, it's getting that it's becoming unbearable. i. santa ana suspended his leading on could chris cuomo over his roland advising his brother, the former new york governor during a sexual harassment scandal. andrew cuomo had previously been accused of hiding the true numbers of care home covert debts in the state, or to contribute to lauren chins scope morning. as most of us are probably aware of by now, chris cuomo is the brother of former governor of new york. andrew cuomo who had to resign in august following a slew of sexual misconduct allegation. and even though there's nothing inherently wrong with that sibling connection with one brother being in media and the other brother being and politics, when it comes to the coma brothers, specifically, chris cuomo is yet again, being accused of using his position at cnn as a prime time news anchor to help the political career of his brother and these

questions of impropriety on behalf of chris chromos part are not new. they 1st started early last year when at the height of coven hysteria, chris cuomo chose to interview his brother, who was at the time governor of new york on his show. so that in scale, this was the actual swab that was being used to fit up that double barrel shotgun that you have mounted on the front of your pretty face. and so when that interview came out, a lot of people, i think, were correctly wondering why chris cuomo was joking around with his brother, governor, about giant cute it's when. at the same time, his brother was being accused of housing kron, of various patients with nursing home patients in the same facilities. but despite cnn's attempts to reinforce at least some standards of journalistic integrity, this would not be the last time that chris cuomo would be accused of using his position to help his brother. specifically, earlier this year,

andrew comb was name was in headlines repeatedly because several women who had previously worked with the governor were now accusing him of sexual harassment. it didn't take too long before report started servicing that chris cuomo. the younger cuomo was actively advising his brother and how to handle all of these sexual harassment allegations. when my brother situation became turbulent, being moved into calls with other friends of his and advisors, but did include some of his staff. i understand why that was a problem for sienna and for a while it did seem like that would be the end of all of these different scandals at least as far as chris cuomo was concerned in till. that is, this week the new york attorney general's office released a series of documents showing that chris cuomo, involvement with his brothers office, was a little bit more in depth than he had led people to believe. a series of text messages exchange between chris cuomo and one of governor andrew almost top aides. melissa rosa shows that chris cuomo actually helped draft statements for his

brother in one text message. chris cuomo also texted melissa derosa that he quote, had a lead on the wedding girl, presumably referring to one of governor cuomo, accusers, and in one especially concerning exchange derosa texted chris cuomo, quote, rumor going around from politico one to 2 more people coming out tomorrow. can you check your sources to which chris cuomo responded on it? followed by no one has heard that yet falling the release of those text messages from derosa and cuomo, a slew of different left leaning media outlets have been calling for quote resignation. if this story is accurate, it describes a series of shocking ethical breaches. farmable offences with any of a news outlet. not surprised and 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 see an an amazing that chris cuomo still has a cushy job at cnn after flagrantly violate in journalistic ethics. so let me clear

here. we have chris cuomo using his knowledge as a media professional to help draft statements for his brother andrew cuomo when he was facing multiple allegations of sexual harassment. and not only that, but it also seems like chris cuomo was using his connections with in the media industry to gather information. i am andrew crow's accusers. so the question now is, what is next for chris cuomo? previously, it seems that scene and has been satisfied with chris, merely going on his prime time t v show to make apologies, but i am unsure whether that's going to be enough. this time, european central banks under far of conflation had its highest in the euro's 20 year history. economies play the inflation research on an unprecedented growth in energy prices, notably oil and gas, as well as the increased cost to goods and services. a tough and slow recovery from the corona virus pandemic. also the major impact was small credit rating agencies. and i was saying that the on the constrain could also hamper any economic care

improvement by bringing uncertainty to global markets. the european central bank though, thinks the situation is fine. most forecasts actually assume inflation will fall below 2 percent. so there really are no signs of price rises getting out of control . if without inflation would permanently settle above 2 percent, we would definitely react. however, at the moment we see no indication of this. despite those words, inflation in the block continues to gain momentum, reaching 6 to 8 percent who spoke to german economist who thinks is set to continue for years to come to. as i got fishing out, inflation creates social injustice left the winners. a few. the losers are the general population in the purchasing power of money decreases, rents to become more expensive, holidays become more expensive, etc, but inflation must be tackled at his roots, for there should be no 0 interest rate policy. and no further expansion of money supply has rise in inflation is also

a problem for industry. companies have to buy raw materials themselves on international markets and have to pay workers and so on. and so again, in an inflation cycle, these goods become more expensive and the companies have higher production costs. these higher costs have to be passed on to the sales costs in the companies that cannot do this, have less profit and can go bankrupt. gate may, technically you can predict we can to the problem to do so. the central bank must race interest rates and curve the growth of the money supply. however, this is difficult because many see inflation policy as the policy of the lesser evil. the european central bank is sticking to its low interest rate policy, and therefore one has to fear that inflation will continue to rise in the coming years. in india. moscow says washington still has time to stop an escalating diplomatic route after you, as the authority said, deadlines to full scores of russia. diplomats out foreign ministry spokeswoman. we're here. maria is a hair of a brand of the us move an expulsion and will react accordingly. she says him,

we're smarter, and we view this american demand precisely as an expulsion of our diplomatic service. we intend to respond accordingly. by january 30. first of all, the u. s embassy personnel and moscow who have been on assignment for more than 3 years, must leave russia. lay so much like a spot then from arte correspondent tunnel course, i don't raj, the back story here. while kevin, this announcement by the russian foreign ministry, that certain number of american embassy workers are going to have to leave the country by the end of january, comes amid a number of diplomatic spats between the united states and russia. and just a day after it was announced that washington will not be issuing new visas to the family, members of russian envoys to the united states, making it extremely difficult for them to live and work at the embassy there. now, the spats actually have been going on for a while now. just recently, washington limited the term that russian diplomats conserve in the united states to

3 years while for other countries. it still at 5 years earlier. this actually also means that 55 russian diplomats will have to leave the country by 2022. this is something that the foreign ministry of russia has said our de facto expulsions. while washington has said they are not. earlier in the year, washington also ordered the closure of its consul, it's throughout russia and stopped issuing non diplomatic visas. this basically forces russian citizens to go to us embassies in other countries. and to apply for visas as quote, homeless nationalities. now, back in june, russian president vladimir putin and us president joe biden met to discuss the possibility of normalizing embassy services at their 2nd bilateral summit. but according to the russian foreign minister, circ, a lever of these talks were actually fruitless because washington apparently was not ready to compromise. so a month later we can we see a continuation of these back and forth between moscow and was center. yeah. all

could, isn't it okay? told called a thanks the update. thanks for being with us at home or wherever you tuned in around the world. let me tell you about what's coming up. if you're watching the clocks exactly 80 minutes policy, i by the way, will fears over freedom of expression, a growing over comments by twit, his new chief executive that seemed to de prioritize free speech will tell you more after the break. ah

join me every thursday on the alex simon show. when i'll be speaking to guess of the world of politics, sport, business, i'm show business. i'll see you then. ah ah. oh, logan. he craves urging nato to boost military cooperation and prepare sanctions against moscow in order to protect the country from the ported russian aggression.

as the west alliance is summit in latvia and has its 2nd day will fly the flag for britain and list trust the u. k. foreign secretary riding high aboard a tank in estonia, just miles from the russian border in the declaration that britain's leading the way against what she called russia's malign activity didn't get amidst the stunt was ab similar in appearance to margaret thatcher's tank, ride back then at a nato training camp in germany. early with him, a potent announce that russia tested a new powerful hypersonic missile. and it says it's development is in response to nato's expansion of weapon systems close to russia's borders. but natal secretary general's adamant and the last that supposed russian aggression towards ukraine is the reason enough to expand the military's place presence, their largest, the humans thought them even a dialogue with the united states and its allies. we will insist on the development of specific agreements excluding any further, nato advancements to the east and the deployments of weapon systems that threaten

us in the immediate vicinity of the russian federation. have stated several times that there will be a high rise, a high price to pay for russia if they once again use force against the in the pin sovereign ocean ukraine. and also over the years also increased our military presence in this region. just to make sure that all ours are totally the offended and protect the instant against the russian resurrections. former un weapons inspector, scott ritter telling us he thinks nato's playing a really dangerous game. and 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 strengths. it's a very dangerous game because as president buddhist said, of russia has read lines 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 provokes 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 in the u. s. is right now under the trump administration, the relationship between the united states data was a very strange one and it didn't get any better under bind. nato right now is looking for relevance and looking to reassemble a semblance of substance. they can pick the only target they have right now, which is russia. there's nothing nato can do, stand up to it. so why is natal provoking russia? it's simply doesn't make any sense. he just days into his new job as twitter ceo, but park i grow while is already ruffling feathers, that a phase of mo, clamped on that on content at the social network because of his past comments about

not prioritizing freedom of speech. and so it has already moved to abound the sharing of photos and videos of people without their consent uses. can i flag the image and if they do it will be remove the band doesn't apply to public figures though if the tweets are of public interest. but it seems the platform itself is set to decide on that. ah, no rule is known to be bound by the 1st amendment that moves reflective of things that we believe lead to a healthy public conversation. focus less on thinking about free speech with it's not going to make a distinction between muslims and extremists. then what should i distinguish for to why people embraces. ah,

ah, dorsey, on the far from both parties, defends labeling tweets. twitter deliberately prevented users from sharing contra biden laptops or twitter pans trumps account, citing risk of further violence. darcy says company was wrong to block new york past hunter 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 in decentralization, 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, up and so on. the next, the birthplace of rum and brianna barbados has cut his ties with britain off to so long after nearly 400 years. the caribbean nations officially dismissed the queen his head of state and declared himself an independent republic. prince charles, attend to the ceremony in the capitol, which turned on behalf of the queen, where a governor general sandra mason was sworn in as the islands president. he expressed hope that the u. k. of barbados, folk would remain strong friends. it thought the transition could encourage other

members of the british commonwealth, however, like austria, like jamaica to jump ship to andrew pharma told to historian jennifer hawking, who says full independence for these countries is in fact long overdue. it's tremendously significant. of course, this is really mocking the final saver i don't solved. lot want before my colonial ties to britain it's, you know, these are quite extraordinary 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 populum of main center for a change by these, which does tight some generations for it to really tight hold for the population to support it as a date i had in great number in barbados. do you think other countries and they're

gonna follow suit him. what about astray? leah all look at the common all nations and there now i think she's staying her mining a constitutional monarchy for which the queen is still the queen and the head. a side of those countries. so certainly it's a natural progression and all life countries, including australia will be looking very carefully this on the not find that as a historian, but also as a proud republican myself, i'm on the board of the republican movement. i find it slightly humiliating by themselves as an australian, and also as a, as a general because of that, our country still swayed allegiance in that way. in that our head of site is quite, and i think it's long, but you all for the colonies to, to move towards full independence and, and an ability to shape bacon street in the why. now that doesn't deny that history but builds on and look forward for ourselves. if you want to find out what else we're talking about. so check that out t dot com,

but for now reporting football team to national for you as well. my name is kevin. oh it, thanks for checking in. i can tell you various taylor made shows, rona, just a minute or 2 in your part of the world. mm mm mm. with a the worn drugs noted as a way to combat a gray problem. what's the warranty? it's part of the attitude of the nation, not just of north dakota, and it got to be something that you could get elected. this time, the fight against drugs still good to try and shake. told us that andrew was competent short form is way too dangerous for him to be doing. clearly they put him

in harm's way. rural college students just get shot in the head and found in the river like that something else had to be happening because there is no pinnacle of evolution. everything's glad about terry and isn't product to full 1000000000 years of evolution in a specific environment. so a week, so in that sense, with the few survivors within to vote along a long process you. so as in to the springs at yellowstone, we will not do very well. bacteria will do much better in that sense. the boom bus, the one business show you care the board to met bridge

a board and i'm rachel lemons in washington coming at oil prices are thinking as the on the crime variant theory. and in fact, as markets across the globe, straight ahead will discuss the movement in the sector. this under the novel strain has been found even more nations as it is read beyond its south african origin, will bring you the latest figures with an expert in the field and australia cracked out on social media is taking a new turn as the nation has proposed a lot of combat online for all got a lot to get to work, go and we leave the program with another brutal day for markets with the dow dropping as much as 700 points. now the reverse from monday's rebound comes with experts assess the latest coping 19 variant and how to respond to it. while federal reserve chairman j, paola and treasury secretary genet, jaelyn also testified before congress on tuesday. how sparked a sharp reaction from investors after he told the senate banking committee that there is a.
