ah ah, on the cross spreads to 24 countries now with the u. s. becoming the latest as the w h. o sends the alarm, we look at how different nations are responding to the new strain of cove. it also this how we visit a child care clinic here in moscow as more and more younger patients are needing treatment for the virus. our children age from one month to 17 years. the conditions vary in severity. the children harris, severely l, and in the intensive care unit in avenues in the u. k. thousands of in with our electricity. now for almost a week our finance had stored smoking complaints and the government's lagging in its response back. um hi. it's what it feels like. like i have no rights,

everything feels a start. you really have a base spit hard and students protest at the university in arizona for an against acquitted murderer coll rittenhouse his right to attend classes. ah. hello there. welcome to the program life maltese world. news h q. my name is kevin. oh, and i've got 30 minutes of my latest for you for moscow. and 1st that the u. s. has registered its 1st case of the new cove advert. alma kron the person in question. is fully vaccinated. the apparently has mild symptoms and was returning from south africa, south korea and norway. now i have also seen that 1st cases with $24.00 countries now affected will health organisation says it spread is inevitable. europe mean times considering mandatory inoculations and new restrictions with latest on that

saw your correspondent suite right now where from wednesday we 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 that required vaccine pass even if they had 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. they have 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 e u. it is understandable and appropriate to lead this discussion now. and how

we can encourage and potentially think about mandatory vaccination within 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's moved, not gone down well with some people have brought it into the closet 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. now mister up, isn't that a relatively many people in austria? do think the virus doesn't exist under think they're stand above everything. that hurts me a bit because these people are sometimes really dumping

a fish 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 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. oh, finish off in germany, where the country recorded the highest coven death rate. and since february of this year, 446 people in the last 24 hours dying with covered 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. cove, it's no longer disease that only affects elderly people in those with preexisting medical conditions, with doctors now than warning that young paper coming was susceptible to new

variance. we visited a child health clinic here in moscow. ah, ah, what age are the children here and what condition are they into our children are age from one month to 17 years. the conditions varied severity for children, her severely l, 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 to period 3rd full. 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 what. how long have you been ill? 10 days already? oh yes, i'm in my 2nd week. her 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, do you now to them as much they teenage is that become infected? because they always hanging out together also because statistically they demonstrate a more severe cause of illness than individuals of other ages. both get rid of them because their bodies are growing so fast. and because of their hormonal processes,

yes, mono by grounds, and the physical transformation can influence the illnesses more that the lessons are affected by more risk factors related to the course of the disease. for you to chew it, the game is ended, nobody is, it is not a harmless disease. it's not sorry that we sound 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 with a severe case of the disease and it 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 is just as you are for, for as near your full complications. develop very often as the coward. i do not depend on the severity of the disease or even children who have shown no symptoms face complications. what do you think about vaccinated adults? i think it's a very good idea. no 3 me hasn't died. there is no time to wait for children are also a source of infection, which if children are not vaccinated but will not be able to grade the necessary collective immunity, which will have all been talking about her so love yet. that works in that book 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 infections. some of the vaccine is infectious for cells, but not for the body in between. at the level of the organism, the virus does not reproduce the earth moves any real sinew, priesthood for

the world. health organization assist that people should limit traveling, wear masks, and get vaccinated south africa, which identify the course, they'll ma cranberry. it continues with life pretty much just normal with shops and restaurants, remaining open from their policy. i sent this back can help africa off coaching a positive pay per day. now this is a 20 percent increase on what the figures were just a few days ago before the commute perfect value and we conduct was discovered the world is terrified and why fi. so can you imagine that south africa to wait for it and identified the st. you'd have people here with who are just to fight in officer the waste on open. nobody, as you can see, social discipline thing. nobody is wearing mom. i wanted to see people can just, i think i'm the only person who's wearing them off and even that is on my turn being out is, is,

or is it is right by. you can also not limit your life for living in fear. because if you live in fear, you will always be consolidated to the circumstances that you are in for like going against rule. 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 restaurant. in other words, keeping vaccinated. here in south africa. no such thing exists. and this is a country way 70 percent of the population has not been vaccinated. and the entry factors are using, and that's new on the, on varian booth at vaccination. don't work. the only thing you need to do in south africa when entering a restaurant, it's put on some kind of car. we only get the new tires, and sometimes it gets screamed, sometimes on his screen of the temperature of which the temperature does it mean back off when? well, some people can go to a restaurant during the 19th, but because of the ignorance,

nobody actually take it into consideration. so i feel 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 whose you would never know. so if you vaccinate the you did your pot to sounds like of the population to remain calm. he says that there is enough information known about on we conduct that state not to justify that restrictions. i think he has more that he might consider mandatory destination for some activities and for some location it's the situation to terry. in the meantime, the sub to open, the restaurants are open to schools open. you can travel anywhere in the country. you want, you can wear moss, keep enough, clear, moss: you can so she'll distance, you cannot social distance. in fact, what more south africans are afraid of is not a locked down, rather than i'll be con, policy, a r t, johannesburg, south africa. and in the us all mccombs also spoke to greg consent for the economy

to stop markets shaken by the news on top of the highest. 7 inflation rights decades, glove more map it later in the program is saying it states for next story though, the col rittenhouse case continues to divide the u. s. right down to his education . he was recently found not guilty, of course, of homicide and the killing of 2 black lives matter protests his last year. however, his previous links to virus stone, i, arizona state university of prompted protests, even though he's not enrolled there. some students are opposed to the idea of him being on campus at all, although others are running in a support of his right to attend classes. but we spoke to one of the organizes of a demonstration supporting kyle. he thinks arizona university should accept written house if he wants to apply. i created the counter protest against the students for socialism that were against covered in house being on campus and

say they were educated on the town. they were super ignorant about the whole thing because if they really wanted 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 how written, how's that people showed up and yeah, i think, i think we had 200 people and we out numbered the people protesting against how to the one from my understanding cover in the house is not a, a full time student. a su is a non degree seeking online student. i mean, you 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, to a 4 year degree program like nursing like he wants to. i think you should accept them. well, i smile col rittenhouse was acquitted,

of all charges of to fatally shooting to white people. jury black lives matter protests in wisconsin, which is descended into a riot. he said to this self defense snake mirandi telling us university should be unbiased anyway. in cases like this, universities should be free from political narratives. um right now what we're seeing is we're seeing a lot of professors indoctrinated students with left this ideologies. and it's trina, it's training and negative impact on the students on campus, and they're not being able to have the right resources to be able to understand certain topics or information. the problem lies where the, where the media is because the media falsely covered or cow rittenhouse child, and they depicted him as a wise premises, a murderer on all these terrible things while the child was going on. and what the child 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,

it continues to live to the, to the masses. boy, online from us, so there's plenty of co cigarettes he don't call them. wanted to highlight this story. a u. s. police officer is sacs off to shooting a wheelchair user 9 times out for a allegedly shot, lifted a toolbox. you can read more about that at all. it's he don't. com mean time here, the gala mexico sex trafficking charlie new york throws up some famous names as jeffrey up scenes form of pilot tells all and kevin o' it. i'll tell you more about that says one of the stories we got lined up after the break with when i would show seemed wrong. i just don't know. i mean, you have to fill out the theme because the applicant and engagement

equals the trail. when so many find themselves will depart, we choose to look some common ground. blue, blue, blue, blue, blue. with . so i thought

oh, my there, thanks. watching out international today. exactly. 17 past the hour. next. some big names are being dragged into the sex trafficking, trial of calais maxwell. verna, long time companion. of course a sex offender, jeffrey epstein is been alleged rather presidents princes, even the hollywood stars, which often used his private jet which ferried young women to his private caribbean . island max was accused of grooming underage girls for epstein and the american financing convicted of sex offences back in 2019. he died imprison, same year is what we've learned from the trial so far. 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 to the massages herself, and sometimes she touched the girl's claudia. 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. defense claims maxwell as a scapegoat for abstains crimes. invoke some 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 abstain. took part in abuse

herself. he 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 doesn't accuses have shaken the money tree, and millions of dollars have fallen their way reference to fund set up by abstaining state to compensate his victims. elaine maxwell trial to be continued up to 30000 homes in the u. k. a without electricity for 6 day now after a huge storm calls the biggest power disruption in more than a decade and claimed the lives of 3 northern england and parts of scotland. the worst affected with many residents forced out of their homes that come home. that's what it feels. look like. i have no roots. it's a bit tough. sorry, i didn't mean to cry, but it's been hard. like we brought our animals at home. we are going to go fish

are the one today, and it is the feel very unsettling is still trying to work and take the kids to school and carry on like normal. but everything feels of saddam, you really have a base. so spit hard. tens of thousands of people in the north of england are still having to live without electricity for 6 consecutive day. and it feels that there's no end in sight. as some people have even been told now this could go on for at least another week. i'm in south lakes in cumbria, where people are so desperate now trying to look for places to he top to keep warm and to have some temporary accommodation. now, hotels are like this one have opened the doors now to the local community is being funded by the local council because still around 1800 people are still without electricity and that's in just in a small area alone. it includes, of course, the vulnerable, the l to be living on their own as well. and it is,

i have to tell you absolutely freezing weather conditions here in this part of the country. now the local counselor who i've been speaking with, she told me she has been speaking to so many people. i saw her relentlessly working day and night, trying to get people into a tentative accommodation. and she said, is the community that's really come together? and she hasn't seen any support from the government. the government is in the community has done everything. it was only yesterday that we got an assist and teams going out and actually attempting to find people. but that was 5 days into this with as a say minus 5 degrees to 2 degrees temperatures. if he were to head out people who in a room with no heat, no lights, no food, no means of office, no drink. if you the say that that agent for one night he would say that was extreme fat to that and it's, it's been ongoing now. well, the prime minister, forrest johnson,

says he's extremely sympathetic to all of those people affected while the business secretary, he says, the government is ensuring that people are comfortable when he was taken to task about the situation 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 job or the local residents for the 1st instance. the 1st instance to find out what's going on and 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. what people haven't been comfortable here, that is certainly not the reality. i've had people waiting days and days to get a response from their power companies only to be sent a very generic text message. still, we've seen day bri on the roads,

wires and even in people's gardens just driving around this morning. it's very evidence about the situation and how bad the damage really is. it's an incredibly traumatic situation for many local residents. so we went to the black pool to stay, but the commuting as has been so hard. obviously we've left a house left 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 said they don't know of the faults, and then i did get hold of them. they said we do know of your fault. no. and just to be patient and so wait. so we're waiting. we haven't heard anything yet. so when they gonna fix it. so it seems like it really is a waiting game, of course, the government and the power supply companies, they will say the city asian is unprecedented. and yes indeed, as we've seen, wind speeds up to 98 miles per hour, snow in some areas. this continues to full,

all of which the united kingdom really doesn't feel very prepared for situations like this. but it's taken areas like this as small area in north of england, almost back to victorian times with no end in sight. but ultimately living many families totally in the dark on the cone could potentially be another blow to the global economy coast to with financial institutions. raising the alarm over a spike in inflation to in part, to supply chain issues. kellum open explains 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 profits 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. but when you hear about our taxation being super low, you know, i'd like for it to be an increase that 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 low sub night night. psyche cot lines you see on tv. we've got to 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. any way to be honest is actually one more of like everything when it's 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 i've been slowly going downhill, especially in this city, but everything is about 40 percent higher than it was a couple of years ago. so now 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 $9.00, 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 anything 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 art in new york. 3. will these stories have breached to tell you about palestinian security forces of rescue to israelis from

a mall but to they entered the city of ramallah by mistake? the pair were attempting to drive to a westbank settlements that caused torsh by police. did he use 7 people if it injured soft retrain derailed in northern italy, the dr. apparently break todd of to no to sing full and rocks on the tracks. but then the train went off the rails and was trapped to the entrance to the tunnel. hundreds of pro choice activists of rally did bull sore as the polish parliament to pay to the proposal to completely ban a bullshit, including in cases of rape and pregnancy, that posed a threat to women's health. the testers held signs with red paint symbolizing blood, while chanting slogans. here, russia's federal security services it's apprehended, 3 ukrainian agents who'd says were gathering sensitive information and planning terror attacks done lakotas go. the story or russia's 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 home 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 plan to carry them out. according to the suspects they worked directly recruited by ukraine's a 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 event really doesn't bode well for relations between ukraine and russia at this time in a tunnel cultural, putting their foot note to the story kit fo denies the claims of its agents being

detained, saying the l, asians are fabricated. meantime, a new trend itself in anti government protests in the capital care of off to claims of a qu by the country's president. hundreds marched in caves, independence squared through coins that the president's office calling with traitor and demanding his impeachment, press his claim that authorities of violating the constitution are conducting a qu, themselves. last friday, zalinski said a plot had been uncovered to topple his government and that it was orchestrated by russia. that's what we talked about this hour so far from moscow reporting. so you for from out international and i will use h q. it's kevin over here. great tech company enjoy the rest of your afternoon.
