u. k. for my undergraduate degree. i was contemplating coming back home for a long time because i was away for almost 8 years. i got the independence that i was looking for living abroad, going to school, figuring out life in who i am. but i got to a point where for me i just could never see myself living that long down. it never really felt like home. why for the long girls it's all started halfway through 2019. it was a lot to do with cost of menstrual products, even as university students living abroad. it was very expensive to buy material products and also the environmental impact that single use product tab. when the environment, when my sister and i 1st decided that this was what we're going to do, i was too scared to tell anybody. i didn't want people telling me no, don't do it. all people are going to say how you talking about period. my sister broke the news list. i gave it to her. after that it was a lot of support very quickly, especially because while the community people do not talk about periods, is a con

watch the positivity rate grow for me to thank you very much for me to me live there talking to us from the bureau in job book. well, the u. k. government has raised its current of virus threat level to for that's just short of the highest level that fits at 5 officials. a warning the spread of the army chrome variant is pushing the u. k. back into risky territory. the new threat level won't immediately affect existing rules and regulations, but a move to level 5 would bring with it more restrictions and will be triggered if the health system becomes overwhelmed. the prime minister boris johnson, urging people to get a 3rd vaccine shot. no one should be in any doubt. there is a tidal wave of omicron coming and i am afraid it is now clear that 2 doses of vaccine are simply not enough to give the level of protection we all need. but the good news is that our scientists are confident that with a 3rd dose a booster dose. we can all bring our level of protection back up. a fortnight ago, i said we would offer every eligible adult a booster by the end of january to day in light of this on the kron emergency. i'm bringing that targ

u. k for 3 weeks and took the right hand lane. instinctively rad seager and adviser for the don family earlier spoke to the program and said that their long campaign for justice is finally making progress. we sort of feel this is a combination of almost 2 and a half years now of relentless, tireless campaigning for this appalling decision by the u. s. government should deny mary's family justice. we don't know why this happened. all we know was that it, it was a, it's a terrible decision on the part of the u. s. government. and supposedly our strongest ally, why you would want to condemn a totally innocent family to, to this torture. this mental torture is beyond me, but we're very pleased now that i'm with your help and your colleagues helping the media that they have now clearly been left with no choice other than to change their decision and allow justice in whatever form that takes to now take its, it's natural course, i think the attorney point was when president biden came into office, can we know he suffered a, a similarly similar family tragedy himself. and we, what we learned from, fr

u. k. perspective for confectionary on products, cheeses, immensely, of course. and then with, and a lot of the u. k. micro cultural products going into australia and then from australia, of course a lot of their products, especially in the meat products, the lamb and the beef going into the u. k. one of the hold ups always was the different standards, the different standards in terms of use of hormones. and that's an issue with the course the u. s. trade deal. but those have been sort of eliminated. and this has been a win win, like i say, for both nations. i think something that's interesting aside factor here is this, as i mentioned before, where the more deals that the u. k. finalizes, it puts pressure on the u. s. y, because now the u. k. is in a much stronger position to negotiate the u. s. u k tre deal because they're having all these other deals completed across the country. and you're right, this is the 1st one that's actually from scratch and eliminating all tariffs. but let's talk when she was secretary of trade, she did complete 70 other ones. so that'

for court affiliation of the british system. one of the reform or the main points of it is that the u. k. wants to make it easier to, to port foreign offenders. that's something that a lot of conservative voters have been asking for for many years. why should that one be a problem? the numbers are far in offenders that have been coming to britain. if you look at statistics, our minuscule, in terms of overturning the anti human rights act, one could maybe say that britain is acting quite intelligently about this britain off to rule knows exactly the scale of the refugee crisis from countries that it participated in the annual bombarding of it was britain, of course, that destroyed africa's riches per capita. country libya on the mediterranean, there were thousands untold thousands of drowned. and of course, england and france were involved in that. we have refugees drowning in the english channel. and of course, england and britain was responsible partly for the aerial bombardment of iraq, afghanistan off syria, that britain knows where and why refugees are seeking solace and asylum from

u. k. for integrity. re put it. we've sent a very clear united message to blood met putin from this g 7 meeting. and we want russia to stop. it's aggression with respect to ukraine. and we have very clear that that would be severe consequences if that incursion took place. this is about deterring russia from taking that action. plenty of generosity, but very little in the way of specific seattle. what are these consequences that russia might suffer? we just don't know yet. might germany prepay be prepared to cancel the nord stream to gas pipeline? for example, might russia be expelled from the swift banking system? could ukraine be given proper, offensive weaponry to counter a russian invasion? you have to assume that these specific to exist somewhere that they have been conveyed to vladimir putin when joe biden and put in towards the other day. the white house said afterwards that the, that once done in 2014, when russia alex, you crimea from ukraine. those things could be on the table would be on the table if ther

u. s. president biden says the health system is prepared to handle the rise in cubic 19 infections. isolation, time for patients without symptoms, has been cut in half to 5 days. the u. k for now is not adding new restrictions even as this been reporting record infections in the past few days. and france is further tightening measures where the work from home policy and war restrictions for unvaccinated people. but it's holding off on a curse you for new years eve, welcome. our santa maria is here to tell us about the numbers in france, records being broken. there's wrinkles bring broken. the french are probably right to be concerned at this point. but what we'll try to do here is provider a little more context as to how the numbers off. let's start with the summaries and johns hopkins university of france, which quite simply shows here 9200000 confirmed cases cumulatively, over the course of this pandemic in a population of about 6768000000. the number of deaths is upwards of a 123000 deaths. now let's go to our world data for the chance here. first of all, daily confirmed cases and this is what folly was referring to earlier. the uptake in cases it has been very, ver

u. k. he says the needs to be more data on severity of the oma from variance for more restrictions or introduce the u. k. relying instead very, very heavily on its face to program. it aims to offer all adults a booster uh by the end of the year, very, very tight deadline, but it does seem to be rolling them out very quickly. always the 1000000 bases were given out on tuesday. so that does seem to be a huge increase on previously, and it's that, that the u. k. government really pending its hopes on so the government is doing all it can, at least that's what it says. but this 100000 cases in one day that must be a shock to the people there. what does this search mean for folks in the u. k, with many of them gathering for christmas? i think one of the really big concerns is emergency services as so many things stop shortages, shortages at the moment, people isolating because they have the on the chrome bearing, you're seeing that we had it in the report that in hospitals and just how tired a hospital walk is docs is nice, is all so long into this pandemic now now face with this additional tie, the
