hello, the you are just members to consider mandatory vaccinations as the new cobit strain appears to have been on the continent much earlier than thought virology from the russian developer, the sputnik v. jap tells our team what we might expect from the new varied with in the cases we're seeing now. everyone has a mild form. on the other hand, there's no doubt on how it can effect elderly people. walk to wait another month or so to be sure. is another g, a gas canister? they are somewhat effective? yes they, they do irritate the eyes of the broken a little bit. also, we report from the scene to protest in sudan, where tens of thousands of marched against military rule following last month's coat. and cnn, suspends top anchor chris co. most of the heated broiled in the sexual harassment scandal involving his brother, the former new york governor. that's the criticism of the network for also turning

a blind eye to andrew colombo, allegedly hiding the true toll of care, home covert deaths and mistake. ah, oh, hello, good, happy with his life for moscow, this is our t international one calling pray with the wealth news this our 1st and the new cobit strain on the chrome continues to raise concerns around the world. a you chief 1st, lavonne de lion says the blog should consider mandatory vaccinations as european nations have discovered the new strang was present at least 10 days before it was initially reported in south africa reporting next from sweden. he is peter oliver. lots going on all across europe when it comes to the omicron variant on dealing with this latest wave of cove at 19, which really has the continent in its great, i'm in sweden right now. where from wednesday we've seen vaccine passes having to

be shown. if you go to any public gathering now, there are some issues with that because not everybody in sweden is able to get not required vaccine pass even if they have job. now if your residency is being processed or if you got your jobs outside of sweden, you're going to face problems there. and you're not going to be able to show that all important piece of paper, all q all codes elsewhere in portugal. what we're seeing is the government that a see what's called a state of calamity. it's the 2nd highest state of alertness in the country, and what it means is that they're going to be bringing in new measures again, going to be bringing back in measures. i beg your pardon, things like mass squaring in public. you're also going to need to be able to show either a negative test or a vaccine certificates if he has to go into bars, jims, restaurants, hotels, or cinemas. now all of these measures are being brought in as european chiefs are

having serious discussions about a mandatory vaccinations being rolled out across the u. s. lafond line has been talking about just that it is understandable and appropriate to lead this discussion now and how we can encourage and potentially think about mandatory vaccination and within the european union. this needs discussion. wiley, a, you commission president there is talking about mandatory vaccination in the a you won't country that is already said it will be implementing mandatory jobs is austria that set to come in in february. the country is currently in a, a full national lockdown. it's supposed to be in not least until the end of this week, it can be extended through until the 13th december. however, that moves to implement. mandatory vaccination has not gone down well with some people in cities of girths and linds. we've seen demonstrators out on wednesday, shutting down public transport where they can also demonstrate is on the streets of

vienna as well. however, officials in austria say they didn't want to have to bring in mandatory vaccination, but their hand is being forced in this issue. we haven't once dismissed, we didn't want to vaccine mandates. let me make that explicit sex count that 20 months on for missed out of the pandemic. we are in a situation that is dramatic. if you look at intensive care units at hospitals. oh, finish off in germany, where the country recorded the highest coven death rate. since february of this year, 446 people in the last 24 hours dying with covert 19 in germany, we are going to be looking ahead to angular merkel. and the german government meeting with state leaders in that country on thursday, we're expecting to hear of more developments, perhaps more restrictions put in place in germany as well. or so far here in russia there are no reports of omicron infections, but the developers of the country. sputnik vega,

confident that it'll provide sufficient protection against the new strain. and in the unlikely case that it doesn't, a modified version of the vaccine could go into production and just 45 days that she for ologist at moscow's goliath research center, which developed the spin agree, jeff told artie that the new cobit strain actually appears to have been weakened by its mutations. the still then you will have to have, with the army kron. varian has $32.00 mutations and spike protein, including mutations that already existed, as well as new mutations. and this origin isn't clear, but 32 mutations is too many. while some people are terrified, i find that aspect rather favorable. if it mutated $32.00 times, that means it has an unstable genome. i suspected system controlling the accuracy of his 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 i would show how did it emerge of, utilize 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 is not very important, and this varying has undergone so many mutations, a virus doesn't need so many mutations to reproduce is a sign of genetic instability? yes. what? tens of thousands of marched and the sudanese capital cartoon against the military governments after last month's co security forces tried to break up the crowds with tear gas from one of the protests. murat gasdio, basine correspondence sent this report. yes, tennis is being fired by us should a nice police to disperse these protest. 30 a few 100 people here, 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. c 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 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 we're supposed to be a $1000000.00 man, much a protest against the military takeover as they say,

protest this year of the government, this all young voices. but this again is, is government. they want us even young government. what does it give up? men kill people. the people in, in the agreement piece is just as 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 as governments, 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 to go it's, it's getting her, it's becoming unbearable. or so spoken to the deputy chairman of the sudanese transitional council, he says the countries in the grip of

a crisis and further escalation could impact not only near by african states, but the whole world alone will confirm p sedan is now in a real crisis. there is real starvation, there are some people now who might have only one meal a day and maybe some who don't even have one meal. everything is expensive and we kept on warning, but unfortunately, no one listened. we did everything we could, we agreed and economic commission at the time that the country was at the peak of distress. but unfortunately, the counsel didn't want us to work together. so we left it. there was also security problem, no laws were implemented. so problems were numerous, but hopefully with hard work we can overcome all these things. sedan is in dire straits, in the south of the country, which has its own trouble. there at least 2000000 refugees. we have open borders with chad, which is a little more stable, but experience is conflicts here and there. so that has a strategic location to the world and especially to africa in cartoon. now there are i still members,

there are many terror sleeper cells in sidney cities. the walls have recourse to them with grave importance. if an escalation happens instead, and it will effect not only africa, but the entire world, because sedan is a corridor for illegal immigration and trans national crime law, cnn has suspended its leading anchor, chris co mouthed over his role and advising his brother, the foreman. your governor during a sexual harassment scandal. andrew cuomo her door, so previously been accused of hiding the true numbers of care. hm. covert deaths in the state. his art contributor lauren chen, 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 allegations. and even though there's nothing inherently wrong with that sibling connection with one brother being in media and the other brother being in politics when it comes to the cuomo, 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 cuomo, as 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 beer used to fit up the 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, crone of iris 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 looped in the calls with other friends of his and advisors that 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 candles 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 brother's 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 to 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 or also 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. following 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 of any of a news outlet. not surprised and the least embarrassing to any honorable journalist . it's hard to imagine and in use executive keeping chris cuomo on stuff after today's revelations. then again, as cnn likes to say, this is cnn amazing that chris cuomo still has a cushy job at cnn after flagrantly violating journalistic ethics. so to be 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 on andrew calls 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'm unsure whether that's going to be enough this time. and if chris cuomo is ultimately fired, it will just solidify a principle that we saw on action when his brother, andrew cuomo, resigned from his position as governor, which is that in 2021, you can apparently kill all of the nursing home residents. you want, as long as you don't get me tude, it's emerged that the f, b, i can access the data from the world's most popular messaging apps, including the likes of whatsapp on apples i message. an internal document dating

from january has just come to light and says that each walks up messages, so wilson destination be sent to investigators in almost real time. and if it's a search warrant, a person's list of contacts can also be provided. apples i message can provide even more data handing or enforcement chat content that's backed up in the cloud. telegram though, doesn't provide message content or contact information apart from on terrorism related issues. or you can respond from whatsapp, parent company matter. formerly facebook of calls concerning that they provide some data to the f b i, if there's a valid warrant, but matter insist that what sam doesn't disclose the actual content of messages. just the associated technical data, or internet law expert cohen says message abuses should no longer expect total privacy. user trust is only been broken. if the user has got a real expectation or to privacy, in order to appease to be the case it uses despite of promises by but by,

by our pole. and by, by other social media companies, they do provide information to law enforcement. and they said that, so i don't think there is a real expectation by users did. their data will completely remain private, only exist at all. they don't provide information date or within the conversation so, so they will not provide you with, with the actual conversation of the actual messages, but only with information around it. we have to believe them. we don't have any other choice in i think one point is the fact that there is a constant power struggle between government agency and the social media companies. you without say on the way escalating tensions as ukraine pushes for nato support and moscow tests, a new hypersonic missile and

a warning against the west strengthening military presence near its borders. it's our next story. when we come back, ah ah ah

there is no pinnacle of resolution, every thing's flat. a bacterium is a product to 4000000000 years of evolution. it is in a specific environment so away. so in that sense where we are still a few survivors of indigo along, along rose s u. so as in to the springs at yellowstone, we will not do very well. and we'll do much better in that sense. ah, hello again. ukraine is urging nato to boost military cooperation and prepare sanctions against moscow in order to protect the country from proportionate russian aggression. as the western alliances summit in latvia enters its 2nd day and flying the flag for britain foreign secretary, liz trusts, riding high a border military tank in nearby stony, just miles from the russian border. something of a declaration that britain's leading the way against what she called russia's

malign activity is not gonna mess either that the payoff stuff was similar to margaret thatcher's tank riding in years. gone by back then at a nato training camp in germany, in the eighty's. our tuesday, president putin announced that russia had tested a new powerful hypersonic missile and said its development was in response to nato's expansion of weapon systems close to brushes, borders. moscow claims that nature's escalation of tensions is unfounded and has threatened serious consequences if provoked on top of that the u. s. 3rd circ, a secretary of state, is saying that nato's build up is to counter what it sees as russian aggression against ukraine. were deeply concerned by evidence that rushes made plans for significant aggressive moves against ukraine. the plans include efforts to destabilize ukraine from within, as well as large scale military operations, delegates in a dialogue with the united states and its allies. we will insist on the development of specific agreements excluding any further may to advancements to the east and

the deployment of weapon systems that threaten us in the immediate vicinity of the russian federation. a life to lift an author of america's undeclared for daniel lazar. welcome back to see you could feel again. can i help you 1st about secretary of state? blink consort, saying russians rushes planned, aggressive moves against you, crying. what might his motive be for such a statement? what's, what do you think he's got his evidence that he has any, any evidence at all? there's just no sign that blushes planning, any kind of aggressive move against the ukraine. and there's every reason to believe that that, that is not the case. i mean, that is simply not vladimir modus operandi. he has no, nothing to gain from any kind of military provocation of that sort. and the, the us is really trying to keep the pressure on russia and vladimir the sky. the, the prime minister of the ukraine or the prisoners is clearly

a vantage. and somehow during the hot, sweeping the pressure up. and thereby ensuring further support by the, by the us. his ultimate game plan is to be admitted as a full member of nato. which if that does happen, would thrust nato into a, at a dangerous territorial dispute with russia. it's difficult to believe that nato will go so far, but the way people are behaving now and the way they are ratcheting up test tensions, certainly makes it seem more more plausible than it was in the past. president putin's medic, moscow doesn't want an escalation. do you think there are similar noises in the white house, in the biden administration, either a berkeley or at least back state that russia doesn't want to confrontation? want a military showdown? i hope they are a cooler heads in washington which are making this point. but the bottom

ministration is extremely aggressive. it's, it's desperate to show that it's actually in the wake of last summer's debacle in afghanistan. so therefore it's behaviors growing more aggressive and more erratic. so therefore, i think that the, the u. s. is can't be counted on to behave in a rational deliberate manner in that part of the world. the us as long said that it's military moves to support democracy that to cement security. but where does that stand in 2021, especially it up to you mentioned that development. i've canister. well, i mean a democracy and the inside and the terms just as they all purpose justification for us aggressive action. and the u. s. is next looking xtreme li, week and insecure in the aftermath of afghanistan just got just 3 or 4 months ago.

so the u. s. a talking tough, it's trying to prove that it is a, it's still a contender that it's still in charge of the world. but it's act is looking less and less convincing. and behavior in the ukraine seems to be erratic and insecure. it not confidence, inspiring and, and biden is ratcheting of the rhetoric in a way that, i believe is really irresponsible and immature. what about russia's hypersonic missile reveal the other day? do you think about it called washington on the hall? how do you think it'll gone down that? well, i mean, washington's were concerned. i mean, the u. s. is, has fallen behind. and this new kind of hypersonic missile technology, there's no doubt about it. so the u. s. is unnerved by the latest test and, and therefore, trying to compensate by, among other things, talking tough,

making threats, etc. but there's, there's no indication that russia is planning any kind of military provocation. and i said before, every reason to think that it simply is not the way the latter may behave. and this is whether you like, put in or not. but he's a very careful, very deliberate political actor. he doesn't engage in these kinds of this kinds of kinds of loose loose rhetoric and, and dangerous showdown. he clearly wants the us to back off to cease making threats and to try to lower temperatures, eastern ukraine. but ladder is lensky won't let that happen. and the, by the ministration shows every sign of going along the ukrainian government and in terms of the blame game between nato in russia. it's ben bingham fleming. over the years, always has done probably always. well, it's undoubtedly in about chapter at the moment. what's the way out?

it's hard to see what the way out with the way out is because nato is pressing. you know, it's continuing on it eastward drive. there's no talk is growing about admitting both the ukraine and, and ga, nato, general austin, a u. s. defense recently made a statement favor of granting that the ukraine nato. ringback membership, and if that was the case, if that actually happens, that would be, i would represent a clear attempt by nato to encircle russia on the east and on the south, thereby increasing military pressure. and remember, it was just that 25 years ago that big new brzezinski. the former jimmy carter is former national security adviser, an extremely influential voice in the u. s. foreign policy establishment called for breaking up russia for the u. s. sponsored dismemberment of russia into 3 parts. so

. so russia has every reason to be concerned. it has every reason to think that nato is engaging in a and a project long term project up in circle meant and, and dismemberment. and, and i think it's up to the, up to the us and its allies to provide tangible proof that that is no longer the case. yet everything us that really indicates the opposite written really as designs are designed to, to, to raise russian years of some kind of nato attempted to add an element. so unless nato backs off, i can see how this can really is in the morning drama to watch over the holiday season. i really appreciate your time again. daniels, journalist and author of america, undeclared. we'll live in new york. thank you. thank you. next, the european central banks on the fire after inflation had its highest the euro

currencies 20 year history economy to blaming the inflation research on an unprecedented growth in energy prices, notably oil and gas and goals, as well as the increased cost, all round of goods. and services. a tough and slow recovery from the corona virus pandemic is also had a major impact. what's more credit rating agencies are now saying that the on the chrome strain could also hamper any economic improvement by bringing uncertainty to global markets. the european central bank, both things 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 to percent, we would definitely react. however, at the moment we see no indication of this holds by those words. inflation across the block continued to gain momentum, reaching 6 to 8 percent of german economists. we spoke to fix that set to continue for years to come. as identifying our home inflation create social injustice influence the winners. a few,

the losers are the general population. the purchasing power of money decreases. rents become more expensive, holidays become more expensive, et cetera, but inflation must be tackled at its roots, for there should be no 0 interest rate policy and no further expansion of money supply rise in inflation is also a problem for industry. companies have to buy raw materials themselves and international markets have to pay workers and so on. so, 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. and companies that cannot do this, have less profit and can go bankrupt it 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's the inflation policy as the policy of the lesser evil. the european central bank is taken to its low interest rate policy and therefore one has to fear that inflation will continue to rise in the coming years

in india that should use for now your next half an hour. ah. with from supporters and conservative media spare no energy, dallas democrats are going to bar there to the left. the really true let majority of all voters say they support universal pre k free community college and low drug prices. so is going to far less really about the culture wars. mm hm. a wrong one. i just don't move any rules. yes. to shape out. this thing becomes the advocate

and engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. with the boom bus. the one bedroom show you care at the border met abrego board and i'm rachel lemons in washington. coming up, oil prices are thinking as the on the crime variant fears of infected 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 spread beyond this south african origin. offering you the latest figures with.
