ah that eyes naughty omicron spreads to $24.00 countries with the united states becoming the latest. as the w h cho sends the alarm. we look at how different countries are responding to the new strain of cognitive porter this hour. we visit a child care clinic in moscow as more, more young the patients are needing treatment for the virus. our children are age from one month to 17 years like conditions, very in severity. the children harris, severely l, and in the intensive care unit. and america face is the highest rate of inflation in decades while corporations are enjoying record profits. we look at new concerns for the economy, though, following the alma kron ag, bright and students protests is university in arizona for and against the quicken

erdrich. our written house is right to attend classes. ah, hello, just him mid day here in moscow you watching artie international. now the united states has registered his 1st case if the new k with varied only chrome, the victim is for the vaccinated has mild symptoms, am was returning from south africa, south korea and norway have also seen their 1st cases where with $24.00 countries now affected the world health organization says it's spread is inevitable. europe, meanwhile, is considering mandatory inoculations and ne restrictions with more his picture oliver sweden right now, where from wednesday and we seen the 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 that

required vaccine pass even if their job. now, if your residency is being processed or if you got your jobs outside of sweden, elsewhere in portugal, what we're seeing is the government there 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 back in 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 had to go into bars, jims, restaurants, hotels, or cinemas. now european chiefs are having serious discussions about a mandatory vaccinations being rolled out across the u. it is understandable and appropriate to lead this discussion now. and how we can encourage and potentially think about mandatory vaccination with in the european union. one 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 that, at least until the end of this week, it can be extended through until the 13th of december. however, that move not gone down well with some people her glossy. every day, new rules besides the health system should have been improved. and i don't understand why we should pay the price for that law. michelle, isn't that a relatively many people in austria to think the virus doesn't exist under think they're stand above everything that hurts me a bit because these people are sometimes really dumb position officials in austria say they didn't want to have to bring in a mandatory vaccination but their hand is being forced in this issue. we haven't once dismissed, we didn't want to vaccine mandate. let me make that explicit sex got that 20 months on for missed out of the pandemic. we are in

a situation that is dramatic. if you look at intensive care unit, said hospitals, oh, finish off in germany where the country recorded the highest coven straight. and 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 angle a 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. it all of a reporting our cove. it is no longer a disease that only affects elderly people and those of preexisting medical conditions. but doctors now wound that young people are becoming more susceptible to new variance. we visited a child health clinic here in moscow. ah, ah,

what age are the children here and what conditions are they into our children are age from one month to 17 years. the conditions varied severity for children here is severely ill and in the intensive care unit. unlike adults, co related pneumonia is less common among children, but it still happened. listen, showing 3 to full and c t severity for 3 years. oh, i thought so this means complete lung damage, almost 100 percent or store or what is especially alarming is that very importantly, just like an adult, there's a tendency for the disease to rapidly develop. meaning that at some point, you know, 10 percent of the lungs are affected and then suddenly it's up to almost 100 percent. yes, that's exactly what we've been seeing. especially when parents wait too long to call a doctor. how old are you? 10 years out there. exactly. how do you feel?

no, sometimes i have a headache, but i'm okay. that's not a my point. how long have you been ill? 10 days already? oh yes. i'm in my 2nd week, which are age puts are at risk, which is we've actually seen the highest incidence, right among teenagers, 2 thirds of the children, a school age kids between 7 and 17 years old is because they are hanging out together and contact and each other all the time, right. among other things, yes, you now to them, it's mostly tmj. is that become infected because they always hanging out together here. also because statistically, they demonstrate a more severe cause of illness than individuals of other ages to go get rid of them because their bodies are growing so fast. and because of their hormonal processes, yes, that mono bye grounds. and the physical transformation can influence the illnesses more by the lessons are affected by more risk factors related to the course of the disease for you to chew the neighbors and in their money, it is not

a harmless disease. it's not soluble. we sound the alarm and there is a disease for which there is no medicine. we have to day the course of the disease is unpredictable. we don't know why someone has it hard and someone else has an easy human. we, as we know there are risk groups, but for some unknown reason we severe case of the disease and you can be observed among healthy children. ah, here's a child and eventually wearing an oxygen mask. well yes, the child is really missing his mother, which is logical. that's why we always talk to him. the doctors are always with him . otherwise he can tear off the mask that children are getting much sick than in the 1st way. and worse than the 2nd and 3rd or yes, worse than waves 2 and 3, which in joker is yours or for us near your full complications develop very often us the code. i do not depend on the severity of the disease is covered. this even children who have shown no symptoms face complications. what do you think about

vaccinated adults? i think it's a very good idea. you're dreaming, it hasn't died. there is no time to wait for children also as sort of infection, which if children are not vaccinated will not be able to grade. the nasa recollect of immunity which will have all been talking about her so love yet that works in that are both with the vaccine works. so what should the concerns be here? the theoretically, we understand that this vaccine cannot be more dangerous than ada. no virus infection, well, some of the vaccine is infectious for cell will, but not for the body in between. at the level of the organism, the virus does not reproduce the earth was any real sinew, priesthood ah. now while the world health organization does insist that people should limit their travelling at the moment where masks and get vaccinated south africa, which identify the omicron very continues with life pretty much is normal with

shops and restaurants remaining open from their poorest, clear st. this report, kim, south africa approaching, came a co, the positive case of the day. now this is a 20 percent increase from what the figures were just a few days ago. before the new coverage van economy was discovered, the world is terrified in life. and you'd imagine that south africa to wait fine, perfect, came forward, and i tend to type in the strain. you'd have people here with who are just to fight it the way strong or open nobody sep, social discipline thing. nobody is wearing moss. i'm one of the few people can protect on the other is wearing them off and even that is on my turn being out is, is a risk. it is right by. you can also not limit your life to living in fear, because if you live in fear, you're always be consolidated to the circumstances that you are in the level of

like going against rules. so we don't, we don't, we not very law abiding citizens in many cities around the world. you have to show a passport when entering a waste aren't in other words keeping vaccinated. hearing south africa, no such thing exists. and this is the country with 70 percent of the population has not been vaccinated and the entry factors are using and that's new on the, on various as proof that vaccinations don't. the only thing you need to do in south africa when entering the restaurant is put on some sen. we only gets an entire and sometimes it gets screamed to sometimes on get screamed. temperature, which the temperature does it mean back off when? well, some people can go to a restaurant during the public 90, but because of their ignorance, nobody actually take it into consideration to offer like the safety protocols letter please put in place and not enough to ensure that everybody is safe. you can only assume that everyone is vaccinated because you would never know. so if you

vaccinated, you did your pocket. it's all possible to the population to remain calm. he said that there is enough information known about when we conduct the state not to justify for that restriction. however, he has war that he might consider mandatory destination for some activities and for some location if the situation to terry. in the meantime, be sucks, opened the restaurants are open to schools open. you can travel anywhere in the country. you want. you can wear mosque enough where moss, you can social distance, you can not social distance. in fact, what more south africans are afraid of is and not locked down, rather than i'll be con, policy r t, johannesburg, south africa. well, omicron could potentially be another play to the global economy with financial institutions. raising the alarm, i were spike in inflation. jew in part to supply chain issues. caliber shopping has more with inflation as their excuse us, corporations,

excluding the financial sector, are now jacking up their prices. the biggest corporations are now raking in the highest profit they've made since 1950. according to the u. s. department of commerce. meanwhile, average americans are getting squeezed on everything from food to fuel. when you hear about our taxation being super low, you know, i'd like for it to be an increase of everybody pays their fair share. that's fantastic for corporations. i'm not sure trickles down to middle class or lower income people. it is disgusting and patch level and i think it is an example of unbridled capitalism. lawmakers are demanding answers from the treasury and the federal reserve. the experts who have been advising you about the future rate of inflation have pretty

much the same credibility, those as load sub night, night psychic hotline, you see on tv, we gotta get control of inflation. it's, it's ravaging our people. not much consolation from those tasks with running the economy. instead of telling us how things will improve, they tell us that because of the on a cron variant inflation may be here to stay. the recent rising covered 1900 cases and the emergence of the i'm a crime variant, post downside risks to the employment and economic activity and increased uncertainty for inflation. not surprisingly, the public is starting to lose faith in the government's ability to manage it anyway. to be honest is actually one more of like everything we're not bad is really bad, not a fan of joe biden in particular. so i do not think he's doing a good job feel like ever since he became president. things have been slowly going down. hell, especially in this city, but everything is about 40 percent higher than it was a couple of years ago. so no,

i would not say that there during for a job secretary of transport. pete blue disease says it's time to buy an electric car. he's pushing for an e vehicle discount to be included in jo biden's bill. back better for a lot of american working families. upgrading to an e car is not exactly in the budget. many are starting to see the white house as out of touch. you know, some people just need a cheap way to get to work. people who don't have jobs can buy an electric car. we have had economic crashes before and we have had public. does it health disasters before? but we have never had the 2 at the same time. colvin 19 together with an economic crash. when we were barely recovering from the crash of 2008 and 9. it is too much, and it needs a massive government intervention to fix this. and mr. biden is simply

either unable or unwilling to make any thing like the intervention needed by the crisis we're working and living through. many americans are starting to feel like they've been swindled. biden's administration seems a bit reluctant to offer a helping hand. caleb martin, r t new york. another new used car written ice cases continue to divide the united states right into his education. he was recently found not guilty of homicide in the killing of 2 black lives matter protests his last year. however, his decision to do online course is at arizona state university have a spot protest, even though he is not fully enrolled there. some students are opposed to him taking part, although others are rallying in support of his right to attend classes. we spoke to one of the organizers of a protest supporting kyle and he thinks that arizona university should accept written house if he wants to apply. i created

a counter protest against the students for socialism that were against covered in house being on campus and say they were educated on the child. they were super ignorant about the whole thing. because if they really wants to try, they would realize that how is not a murderer, how they verbally describe them to be at the process today. we had a lot of support for our written house that people showed up. and yeah, i think, i think we had 200 people and we out numbered the people protesting against cow 2 to one from my understanding cover in house is not a, a full time student. a su is a non degree seeking online student. i mean, you would have to go through the application process and i understand that any university has any right to not accept the students. i think that's a challenge you faces arizona state should you know if you were to apply to

a 4 year degree program like nursing like he wants to, i think you should accept them. well, last month, cal written highest was acquitted of all charges, after frankly shooting to white people during a black lives matter of protest in wisconsin, which had descended into a riot. he said he acted in self defense. moran again says that diversity should be unbiased, in cases like this university should be free from post on. there it is. right now what we're seeing is we're seeing a lot of professors indoctrinated students with leftist ideology and as train it's training a negative impact on the students on the campus. and they're not being able to have the right resources to be able to understand certain topics or information. the problem life where the, where the media, the media falsely covered the record written house child, and they depicted them as a white premises, a murderer. all the terrible things while the trial was going on and what the trial

basically did, it proved to be exactly that officer that and he acted in self defense and that's what the, the child route. so the problem lies where the media is. i mean, they continue to live to the, to the masses out. we still got plenty of stories feed on our website. the name is including a policeman is sacked after shooting a wheel chair, bang man, 9 times for allegedly shoplifting a tool box. you can read more about that, it out. you don't come and still had you hear this, our attention filled that you crying calls for more cooperation from night tell you to defend itself. again, so called russian aggression will have more nat geo stuffed the brand. ah, there is no pinnacle of evolution. everything's flat. a bacterium is the product to

4000000000 years of evolution. it is in a specific environment so away. so in our sense where we are the lucky survivors at the end of a long, long process you. so as in savannah springs at yellowstone, we will not do very well. bacteria will do much better in that sense. oh, when i would show seemed wrong when i just don't know. i mean, you have to fill out the theme because after kid and engagement, it was the trail. when so many find themselves will to part, we choose to look for common ground. join me every thursday on the alex salmon. sure. and i'll be speaking to guess when the world politics sport business. i'm sure business. i'll see you then.

mm. oh, hello again. now i see about 30000 homes in the you k, the mine to still without electricity for 6 day or the north of england. and scotland were hit by storm arwin that caused the biggest power disruption in more than a decade and claimed the lives 2 of 3 people. so let's get the latest 9 cross live to the case. be with our correspondent that jerry edwards dash deer and hello to you, a shout here. i suppose the big question is when is the power going to come back on? well that is the question that so many people here in the north of england or the all sky, it comes as tens of thousands of people in the north of england are still having to live without electricity for 6 consecutive day now off the storm or when and all of the damage that it has cause in fact,

many people have been told it won't be at least another week until all of that power is restored. now i'm in south lakes in cumbria where people are desperately truck, places of wolves, places of safety and temporary accommodation. in fact, the cumbria hotel directly behind me is one of those places. that's a temporary accommodation side all funded by the local council. now in this small area are alone around 1800 people are in this blackout situation. and today i said to one woman who is staying at this hotel. this is her 1st night in this hotel. she's got 2 young kids and 2 dogs and says it's impossible to live in this situation. with no end in sight. we went to blackpool to stay the but the commuting is just been so hard. obviously we've left our house. we left the animals and we just left for blackpool. and i finally got hold of somebody when i was in blackpool, who said, we do know of your fault because the 1st few times we had friends phoning for us

and they said, or they don't know of your fault, we flag them down and they say they don't know of the false, and then i did get hold and i said, we do know of your fault now, and just to be patient and to wait. so we're waiting. we haven't heard anything yet . so when they gonna fix it, shed as was dashti reporting, our fortune, we lost her connection with the half way through. but we'll see we can reestablish that a bit later on. now another news, or some big names, are being dragged into the sex trafficking trial of his lay maxwell, a long time companion of the sex offender, jeffrey epstein. its been alleged presidents, princes, and hollywood stars, often used his private jet, which ferried young women to his private caribbean island. maxwell is accused of grooming, under aged girls for epstein, an american financier, convicted of sex offences back in 2019. he died in prison. the same year his what we've learned so far from the trial adam and eve,

the leader express and unexpected scapegoat. 5 takeaways from tulane maxwell trial . so far, prosecutors go with ab shane's partner in crime definition. sometimes she was even in the room for the massages herself and sometimes she touched the girl's bodies. and even when she was not in the room make no mistake. she knew exactly what epstein was going to do with those children when she sent them to him inside the massage rooms. the ferns claims maxwell as a scapegoat for abstains christ invokes bible as proof. ever since eve was accused of tempting adam for the apple, women have been blamed for the bad behavior of men and women are often villain ised and punished more than the men ever are. pilot of abstains liter express called as 1st witness recalls flying important people including prince andrew, donald trump, kevin spacey bill clinton. but i never saw any sexual activity,

no witness identified as jane says she was sexually abused. at the age of 14, jane claims maxwell instructed her on how to please abs they took part in abuse herself. she asked me to take my top off and then their hands were everywhere, and glean was robin him and kissing him and fondling. defense says accusers cannot be trusted memories, fade money, does it accuses, have shaken the money tree, and millions of dollars have fallen their way reference to find said, oh, by abstain a state to compensate his victims. elaine maxwell, trial to be, you continue. okay. will be all right, please to say we can go back to the u. k. m. speak with our correspondent there shout. he had boost ashley. he was telling sir, bout how residents i think it's up to 30000 residents. a still without power for 6 day off. for a big storm in the u. k. a shout to you, you,

you are commenting on how many residents they're having to stay in hotels and the bill is being footed by the local council. yes, that's absolutely right, because of course the damage caused by storm are when has been totally catastrophic . the region has seen fallen trees day bree in the road, in people's gardens and even power lines completely on the floor. i've seen that myself driving through the area around 1000000 homes and businesses were shut off entirely at the beginning of the situation last week. official statistics, though, se 97 percent of all of these places have now been let back up. however, the statistics, official ones seem to be quite contradictory to what i'm seeing here on the ground . still people in these kind of remote places are in a total blackout. as i was saying. as some people are being taught, it might not even be next week until the power is restored. i spoke earlier with

a local counselor for the owner heineman, who was saying to me that she's been, were working relentlessly, day and night, trying to get people into temporary accommodation, but says it's the community that have all come together and haven't really seen much help from the government, the government systems in the community has done everything. it was only yesterday that we got the 1st and teams going out and actually attempting to find people. but that was 5 days into this with as a say, a minus 5 degrees to to decrease temperatures. if he were to head oh, people were in a room with no heat, no lights, no food, no means of a hot food. no hot drink. if he was to say that, that 8 and a half for one nights, he would say that was extreme, but fat to happened. it is been ongoing now. well, electrical companies, they say that they've been working with people on the ground to try and resolve the issue many have of course it should apologies to their customers saying that they

should probably find alternative accommodation. but i've heard from people here that many have been waiting days upon days for a response from these companies. and when they have got one, it's simply been a generic message now on a governmental level. we've also heard from the prime minister, or is johnson who says he's extremely sympathetic with all of those people affected . whilst the business secretary, he said to the government is ensuring that people are comfortable, which is something contradictory to people on the ground here. plus he was taken to task in the house of commons by the opposition. what is the government doing to help the most vulnerable residence in durham to get the help that they need not to moral, not next week, but to day, we are working with the local resilience with the job of the local residents for in the 1st instance in the 1st instance to find out what's going on to coordinate local responses. and then the government here is very,

very focused on helping them to get what they need to make the situation much more comfortable. ah, well, it's actually the local community that's come together to make the situation more comfortable for local residents. what we've seen is people setting up daily hot food shares help blinds hobbs, many volunteers all coming together to try and relocate people. of course, it's been a very, very difficult time for the community and this woman that i had spoken to earlier, she says it's been incredibly traumatic for her and her family come home. it's what it feels like. like i have no roots, it's a bit tough. sorry, i mean to cry, but it's been hide like we've brought our animals at home that she, we're going to go for each other one today. and it is the feel very unsettling. you still trying to work and take the kids to school and carry on like normal,

but everything feels up to down. you really have a base so it's been hard. well, she's not alone. early this morning at breakfast, i was speaking to another woman who totally broke down only when i asked her how she was doing, of course, electro companies. they're all saying that this situation is totally unprecedented . it seems as though the u. k. isn't really fully equipped or prepared to deal with or something like storm are when yes we've seen wind speeds reaching 98 miles per hour. snow in some areas just simply hasn't stopped falling. so it is a very difficult time for the north of the country, but it's almost taken areas like this one back to victorian times and leaving families totally in the dark. okay, well thank sir for updating their shandey. that was chatty edwards, dash reporting from the north of england on the after effects of that huge storm a few days ago. many people still with our power. thank now russia's federal

security service says it's apprehended, 3 ukrainian agents who it says with a gathering sensitive information and planning terror attacks with moral not his don quota or russia federal security services say they've detained 3 ukrainian agents that were planning 3 different terrorist attacks. the suspects are a man, his son and another young man. and they were planning acts of terror on a radio tower and rushes, a black sea fleet on another television tower, as well as on an electrical station. now, one of the detained agents even allegedly planned to use to hold made 1.5 kilogram, t and t bombs to carry out this terrorist attack. now, all of the suspects gave video confessions, and they've said that they explained exactly what the terrorist acts were and how they planned to carry them out. according to the suspects, they were directly recruited by ukraine's security services. they were told to collect sensitive information. they were told to carry out these terrorist attacks

and they were even instructed on how to do all this while not getting caught. so this.
