ground goodison park now this is the 2nd premier league game to be called off this season because a krone virus city confirmed for positive cases on friday including striker govern and defend a car walker their training ground is now closed for a deep clean. and a decision will be made in the next few days as to whether city's match with chelsea can go ahead on sunday frank lampard side were in action on monday they drew one all with aston villa they went ahead through livia as you all but annoyed because he equalized for velo who move up to 5th one place above chelsea and with 2 games in hand over them so we have to get safety paramount i believe that's why the game's been called off tonight because of the fear of the spread within the squad for man city so from our point of view in terms of our find out more the next day or 2 to make sure it has to be sorry for the 2 teams if not the game one go ahead i think the premier league have their rules and directives on that but yeah it's a tough time or there will be 5 matches in the premier league on choose a bar and course anymore interferen

her name is morgan krone. she's a nurse at indiana university health, which is in indianapolis. >> it's about 3:30 in the morning, and this is my fourth shift in a row. we're feeling, you know, trying to -- patients and the need for more nurses, so i offered to help out an extra shift this week. most of our patients over here are on monitors, and they're very sick. most of them have covid. a lot of them are requiring a lot of oxygen, so we have to keep them monitored very close. we're really seeing a lot of patients coming through our ev here at methodist, and more and more patients are coming up through these units and we're seeing a lot of covid. so we're admitting a lot here at night, and it's -- we're feeling the brunt of it, i think, right now, so. but we deal with a lot of covid up here, and that's predominantly all my patients tonight. >> that's predominantly all my patients tonight. it's 3:30 in the morning when she's recording that. admitting lots of patients every night through the e.d., through the

symptoms we have seen patients who are very sick with krone rows who are being ventilated and beachy capacity and then we have the less sick ones who are coming in short of breath who still need beds and oxygen again locking up the system so we're not only struggling to see those patients but other patients with general you know it is are being delayed because of the chronographs influx and so i mean it around the u.k. is it your impression that. that's a hospital would have to start turning away patients who have those other conditions you mention like heart attacks and so on in the way that they do in the 1st wave. i mean there's already talk about bringing sites and hospitals into red zones or red lights which basically means that they're going to be a diversion and only kobe patients are going to be admitted because people don't understand is when patients are being admitted with chronic rosa taking up ventilators and beds are the patients like you said heart attack patients unforeseen may not be able to get to bed and handsets to be transferred to other hospitals and so yes that

in the parliament hearing that i didn't attend in order to respect the instructions by the national kronetask force we all have to appoint both them it is not true that i didn't go to the postman because of yesterday's bill the government of course doesn't agree with that lucas lotion and sees it to be harmful to diplomatic activities and it's time for some whether his everton. hello there we got yet another tropical cyclone are running across southern india right warnings in force a see that massive cloud and here we go this systems continuing to intensify 110 kilometers per hour at least it is moving quickly so once it does punch its way through sri lanka into southern india the heavy rains should not last for too long it will cause flooding it will cause mudslides as you can see we could see in excess of 200 millimeters of rain so that's certainly something to keep an eye on them of those heavy downpours across the far north korean issue here we go through thursday into friday it will start spreading big and heavy downpours across a good part of town will not do and eventually it will

virus was picked up was by a consortium which sequence or read the genetic code of the circulating krone viruses and so far in britain they've read the genetic codes of more than 140000 infections in individuals and so they picked this particular variant up back in september but what got their attention of the scientists who were doing this was that it started at very low numbers and the frequency as of in other words as a proportion of the number of diagnoses being made increased quite dramatically quite quickly so by november it was accounting for a quarter of the new diagnoses of coronavirus and now in december just a month later it's accounting for in some parts of london 60 percent of the transmission events and that's why scientists is speculating that perhaps it is more transmissible because it's begun to dominate the population in that way but certainly the same sorts of changes that have been seen in this virus have been documented before in other countries so we think this is just a natural pathway the virus follows as it evolves to really spread as optimally as it can through
