what these files show is that two months after the first delivery arrived from cambodia, the hse raisedsignments were labelled as "fluid—repellent gowns", the items themselves didn't meet the requirements to be used as such. according to the hse, these were not gowns, these were long—sleeved aprons. what followed was a summer of uncertainty. in the documents we've obtained, the department of health and social care spent weeks going back and forth with the hse, trying to figure out what they should tell the nhs about the clandeboye agencies items, whether they should just give them to dentists and not hospitals, if they could be used for single procedures, or even if they could be called ppe. as this went on, the discussion went wider. it turns out there were more of these items — known as a thumb—loop gown or thumb—loop apron — supplied by other companies. we showed one to ppe sales director rizwana hussain. well, i can tell from looking at this product, i've seen this product. it's a very common product and, you know, it's commonly referred to as a gown, but that's like a lay definitio

cambodia and the philippines, they wanted to open and they were looking at the peak season but also,he beginning of february which is an important travel period across the asia pacific. that looks as if it will not happen in any numbers at all right now. countries have reinstalled travel barriers and mechanisms such as an increase in quarantine, ramping up testing for people when they return to their own countries little and when they visit another country. so the immediate future looks very bleak. beyond that we have to look at getting through the immediate period which is the northern hemisphere winter season because you would be expecting a lot of demand into southeast asia over the coming months would be from europe and north america, particularly as given that most asia—pacific source markets are closed to thailand right now. the immediate future does not look too good but we have to take it quarter by quarter. they may seem a little old—fashioned these days, but when they first pinged onto our phones, text messages were the last word in cool. now the first text ever sent has be

the us has confirmed cases in 36 states, while the philippines and cambodia have detected their firstcron cases. our health editor hugh pym has this report. with the rapid spread of the new variant, the booster programme has been given new urgency. here, a gp in oxford visits elderly patients in their homes to give them the top—up jab. but it will give you a very good protection and boost your immunity. with evidence of that good protection against omicron infection, the booster roll—out will continue. but according to recent research, there's much less of a shield a few months after a second dose, and there's high—level concern about how much case numbers could rise. it's probably the most significant threat we've had since the start of the pandemic, and i'm sure, for example, that the numbers that we see on data over the next few days will be quite staggering compared to the rate of growth that we've seen in cases for previous variants. even if most of the extra cases are mild, that could result in more staff absences from key sectors of the economy and public services. and while om

for indo china, you can see the rain clouds pulling into vietnam and cambodia as well as southern parts of thailand. some more wet weather on the way here and the rain is going to pick up as well across parts of indonesia. potential java, for example, is what is borneo that wet and windy weather moving into brunei and it's more wet and windy weather on the way for eastern parts of the philippines. you can see it swirling and it's going to pull up into the north. and we could see some flash flooding here. that was we moved down under to australia. the flood threat remains across the east, thanks to those storms and showers that continue to plague that eastern coast. now it is going to get wetter here. as we move into the new week for the south of australia, we've also seen showers a cold front has caused some chilly mornings here. but further north it is looking a lot dryer. those heat wave conditions extending out to the east, so hot and dry for per it is going to get wet though for sydney. those stormy conditions are gonna move back in by the time we get in some monday. now what you ho

i think you know what happened in vietnam, cambodia in and lau have said i noticed previously that australia will lose its privilege of not being targeted by chinese nuclear weapons. thanks to this surprise, august deal between washington london and cambra. is that gonna happen? should there be nuclear missile upgrades to the nuclear submarines now being talking about coming from britain in the united states? well, 1st of all, this august is very much against the world because world today needs peace and stability. i possess you nuclear weapons, nuclear submarines, and they are kind of fine to me. it's a claim that is nuclear power summary. it is not agonized summary, but i would argue the difference on the hess richie is really very much artificial because a submarine is a weapon. and if it is powered by nuclear power, that nuclear power summary can strike or can be attacked in time of war and attacking a nuclear power summary. and we'll turn that summary in itself into a big explosion. and that's definitely will constitute a big nuclear weapon to start with. therefore, i would say, by poss
