katherine: there are a couple that have to fall in place. the supply of the tests and i understand that is gearing up but we are still short with the supply chain problems we have seen. there is also the free part. we need to make sure the funds are in latest, whether it is through private insurers or the government, so people don't take any -- have any financial barriers to getting the test. and we have to make sure that tests and vaccines are available to people that work around their school and work schedules. we need supply, money in place to do it, and the convenience to make sure it is readily available in people's realize. guy: in an ideal word, let's say there are no shortages on tests, how often with omicron do you think i would need to test? you said the gap between getting it and becoming infectious is incredibly short right now. we are seeing -- i have seen examples of that anecdotally in my own life. you can see the impact of the spread of that person gabbing at -- person giving it to other people. how often do you think we need

katherine birbalsingh, welcome to political thinking. thank you. that phrase, strictest head in britain. do you glow with pride? do you blush or do you laugh because you think it's absurd? well, all of that really — it's a bit funny. i think people imagine that i walk up and down the corridors with whips and chains when actually i'm often in my office meeting teachers. what does strict mean is what i'd say. it means immersing children in love and keeping your standards high with regard to your expectations, both in terms of discipline and in terms of what you can teach them. that's what strict is. and the children always prefer the strictest teachers at school. think about who you liked at school. it was the ones that had the highest expectations of you. there's expectations, yes, but strict in some of the ways, isn't it? in the sense of it's often said that the children queue up in silence in the corridors. yeah. to go to classroom. yes. and if so, why is that important? well, especially in the inner city, i understand that not every school needs

as katherine mentioned in her writing, if you're vaccinated and especially boosted, omicron probably does not change your health risk, individual health risk, in a huge way. but for the population, it's really scary. >> katherine, do you agree with david's assessment, is this really scary? >> yeah. i mean, i'm certainly in the camp where i'm deeply, deeply concerned. i never think it is time to panic but i think all of the warning signs are there. we have very little time to act, and honestly, our country was not prepared for a new variant that was moving this fast. to sort of grimace all the way back to the nfl strategy, i think there are some concerns there. we sort of have to strike a middle ground here. we know more post vaccination infections are going to happen. and we do i think have to find a middle ground towards catastrophizing all post vaccination exceptions and minimalizing cases because they do matter. i worry a little bit testing people only after they become symptomatic. we know with every version of this virus we've encountered so far, people become contagious well be

it would be far better as katherine says, if we were able to take proactive measures. if there had been, for instance, in this case, more firmness in the school that it refused to return the child to the school or if there had been a search of his backpack that revealed the gun. at a bare minimum, we need to hold these people responsible for their criminal conduct if for no other reason than to create deterrence. >> joyce vance, katherine schweit and shaq brewster. >>> i will be speaking about the pursuit of anyone who may have helped them to try to get away. >>> everyone in california, the battle is intensifying after a wave of brazen smash and grab robberies at retail stores across the golden state. videos of new thefts emerging almost daily on social media. retailers and prosecutors are calling for tougher legislation to help counter the growing threat after some blamed soft sentencing and bail policies for the rising crime rates. let's go to nbc's gad ve nay gas. >> the ka attorney general spoke yesterday to announce a six-year sentence for a man who would go into

there's also the tourism effect, katherine. what we've heard from theaters, from broadway, from museums, cultural institutions and of course restaurants, et cetera, is that this is their season where they really make their revenues, where they see their volume up. a lot of that is international tourists and in fact kids in many countries around the world, less than 12 years old, cannot be vaccinated. it's not available to them. so this is really going to damage our recovery during this heavy shopping season. maria: well, the other thing, katherine, is the fact that president biden tried a vaccine mandate on companies with 100 employees or more and was shut down by the supreme court. i mean, you've got federal judges saying that this is unconstitutional. so how does bill de blasio get away with with it? >> well, i think that, again, this happened with no forewarning, no real check on what would or would not be possible but the president's mandate at least allowed employers to take -- make allowances and provide testing for those

katherine wu, welcome to the "newshour". clearly, this is just still a very difficult time for americans just on the cusp of a holiday. explain to us how this wave with omicron is different from what we've already seen in this pandemic. >> absolutely. i think the biggest thing to point out here is just this feels like a wave on fast forward. we're seeing case rates doubling at astounding rates. we're seeing so many people test positive, and i think one of the most concerning things about this particular wave is omicron has found a much larger susceptible population than delta did just a few months ago. we know vaccinated people are far better protected than those who are unvaccinated against this variant, but it's clear that omicron can still move fast enough and dodge some immune defenses that it can still infect those vaccinated people and spread out of them. that means it just has more room to move around populations and we're seeing the effects of that now. the big concern here is we'll see a big wave of cases and possib

>> katherine, thank you for that kind introduction and for your work and activism. >> you make it easy and i'm so excited to talk not just about this book, but what the book represents more broadly and we've got to start from the beginning and it covers topics acquire a certain level of bravery to take on. and you dedicate it to a woman who passed away years before the book was published. you say about your friend, and i have this written down here, great many activists none of them had more moral-- and it's the sense of place and people that spoke with her and i miss that voice so much. we all hear its echo as long as we are engaged in this fight. >> can you tell how her work influenced the book? >> absolutely. it's very kind of you to bring her up. she's someone i think about almost daily. you know, when we started, it was the first iteration of the global or climate movement now happily, there's lots of other help and there's the movement and extinction or rebellion and within people, following greta thunberg and so on and so forth. we were reaching out around the world trying to fi

katherine da costa, bbc news.et's look at the latest government data now — some of the figures are still being affected by delays over the holiday period and some data has not yet been published. it also includes five days' worth of data from northern ireland. there were a record 183,037 new infections recorded in the latest 24—hour period. 57 deaths were recorded, that's of people who died within 28 days of a positive test. 0n vaccinations more than 325,000 people had boosters, bringing the total to more than 33 million. i've been speaking about the latest figures to professor anthony gordon, chair in anaesthesia and critical care at imperial college and consultant in intensive care medicine at st mary's hospital in london. it's a huge number, and i think it is worrying seeing so many cases that we know even though it's a small percentage of those people that will become seriously ill, that will be a large number that's still going to be admitted to hospital over the coming week. it was interesting hearing the pr

katherine rampel from "the washington post" and our political commentator., literally. that's how long it has been. so is it here to stay? >> i mean, that's the important question, right. if i knew the answer to that question, i would be a very, very rich woman. the real issue is that it looks like the forces behind inflation early on were, as you pointed out earlier, transitory. they were the result of reopening pains, that everybody wanted to start buying things at the same time and the global supply chains were not prepared, they were still quite fragile and dealing with factory closures and port congestion and other problems. and it looked like those kinds of bottlenecks would clear pretty quickly. that hasn't happened. and that hasn't happened for a number of reasons. of course we've had several new variants, two in particular that have been problematic since some of those forecasts were made, which have continued to make those supply chains very complicated and entangled. and they've also shifted what kinds of things we spend money on. americans have a

kevin: let's go to katherine eban at vanity fair. reporter: thank you for the briefing and thank you for taking my question. two weeks ago, the african union put out a statement calling on donor countries to no longer send donated covid vaccine doses that were ad hoc, provided with little notice, and had short shelf lives. they also called on donor countries to include ancillary supplies with those donations, including specialized syringes for the pfizer doses. my question is, has the white house, in light of this, reconsidered its policy of not including specialized syringes with the pfizer donations? or has it made any change to that policy? thank you. mr. zients: well, thanks for the questions. -- for the question. and i want to start by saying that the doses that we are sending are not short-lived doses, meaning they have an extended period of shelf life. so, that might be happening with other countries' donations, but not with the u.s. donations. and we've sent 320 million doses now to 110 countries, and that's more than every o

people in the uk tested positive for covid in the period before christmas. 0ur health correspondent katherinee back of 2021. nearly two years into this pandemic, many are exhausted. a spike in covid cases is driving a rise in staff sickness. in england, london is worst affected with about 4% of staff in acute trusts absent for covid—related reasons in the week before christmas, up nearly 60% on the week before. many feel it's impacting on patient care. the staff that are at work will be caring for more patients, trying to do more to cover for their missing colleagues, working extra hours, starting early, finishing late. the pressure will be immense. in the latest infection survey from the 0ns, infections increased across the uk to their highest level on record in the week to christmas eve. in england, one in 25 had the virus. in scotland, wales and northern ireland it was one in a0. infections doubled in a week in london. one in 15 tested positive. but there were big rises too in the north—west, yorkshire and the humber and west midlands. other regions weren't far behind. statisticians say in

[laughter] maria: katherine -- >> i definitely am, maria.cron variant. you say it's time to put your money in hard assets like gold, real estate, even art, katherine. walk us through this because are you expecting a selloff in stocks and you're looking for places to hide in real assets? >> yes, important to maintain a portion of your portfolio that does well in a stagflationary scenario, that's something we need to consider for the next 12 to 18 months, maybe a little further. the point is inflation is not entirely temporary in nature. we have a fiscal impulse and a wage price viral impulse that are pushing the demand side so it's not just the supply constraints emanating from bottlenecks in the supply chain. and we think the fed is really treading a dangerous line with regard to keeping rates so low, for such an extended period of time. now this omicron, the issue with omicron is it could push interest rate hikes even further down the line and that we think is a real threat to what at this point is very, very euphoric levels in the market.
