i am not sure whether it originated in south africa . it originated in south africa or botswana but theres coming out of south africa mainly because a small proportion of the population are fully vaccinated and anywhere you have a large number of unvaccinated people you tend to get variants occurring. the second thing is a high proportion of south africans have got hiv and that impairs their immune system. it also allows variants to generate both those things and because a perfect storm in south africa.— south africa. this is a controversial - south africa. this is a l controversial question, south africa. this is a i controversial question, i guess, but what you think governments and health body should be doing to try to counter this? should be doing to try to counterthis? in should be doing to try to counter this?— should be doing to try to counter this? in terms of countering _ counter this? in terms of countering the _ counter this? in terms of countering the variance l countering the variance emerging from south africa, clearly i think all developed countries, it is in their own inte

continues to be the sentiment from the south african government that south africa has been punished along with other southern african countries for detecting this variant in south africa. they are at the moment about 19 cases of the new variant in neighboring botswana. and those samples were sent to south africa. and that's also how this variant wires are identified. and the president had also gone on to talk about what a good job local sciences were doing in terms of the sequencing of genomes, as well as watching out for changes in mutations and the coven, 19 virus. and instead of being applauded for that, south africa is being punished. and this will just really worse than the economic situation in a country that's already had months of locked down where the south african ran. the currency has lost a significant amount of value and with thousands of jobs have been lost. and so this type of reaction, they're calling knee jerk reaction. they say is just unjustified unwarranted and simply unfair. what else do you have to say about the, the, the cases, the effect this is having on numbers of cases there. so, rama was, i had noted that about the that the cases had

south africa president. and more on this we want to turn to cnn joining us live from johannesburg. what did south africa president say about this? what is the likely impact of the new travel bans on the region? >> look, i'll talk to you about my personal experience. i'm stuck in south africa now. i cannot get a flight out. to my new home in dubai. it's been absolute pandemonium. since the announcement of the identification of omicron. and that is because the uk was very swift to put south africa on the red list. after that we saw so many other countries jump on board. doing the same. many say this was an aggressive knee jerk reaction to the identification of omicron. as we heard from the experts it's because of south africa excellent sequencing and ability due to hiv and aids experience. we were able to identify it here in south africa. that being said, the omicron variant has been identified in many other countries. since the announcement on thursday. so the fear here is already that omicron has already spread. we don't know what the origins are. the president says the bans are discrimination an

south africa. and now of course, this big number of people tested positive for army kron arriving on 2 flights from south africa. south africa, from johannesburg and cape town. on friday, 13 confirmed cases they, together with the other passengers, $61.00 in total who tested positive cove 19 are now isolating. the dutch authorities are taking this very, very seriously indeed. but you're right to say that. so we are right now counting things one by one. we may soon given the significant rise start to see this as being sought to see a surge of numbers in multiple countries. it is the view of one prominent south african scientist who 1st flags on the chron brought it to international attention that this very, it may already be present, may already be seated in multiple countries across europe, including here the united kingdom. the best line of defense says, or slow von de leon, the head of the european commission, who's been speaking in the past few minutes, is that we must vaccinate, vaccinate, vaccinate, or prepare for the worse and hope for the best. and lest we forget neve about the delta vary, which w

and the damage that apartheid has done to black, brown, and indians in south africa. >> the president says de klerk helped put southfrica on the path to democracy. >> he was a leader of a party that was largely discredited in relation to the role that the party played in forcing apartheid, but he had the courage to step away from the part that his party that he led had embarked upon. >> let's bring in our guests. all of them join us from johannesburg. a senior research fellow at africa and asia dialogues, a political analyst and author of "no white lies: black politics and white power," and the president of congress for the people and member of south african parliament. welcome to you all. why is it that people in south africa continue to be divided about the legacy of de klerk? >> former president de klerk has been a divisive figure for the fact that he was the leader of the dominant political party. it would -- it was inevitable his death would court divided opinion. him being the last apartheid president, again, it became obvious that at his death, he was likely to court controversy. currently, the majority of s

south africa could hardly be worse. it is summer here, and the tourt industry was hoping for a big boost after two wretched years of lockdowns. southa's foreign minister has criticized the travel ban, calling it "rushed, ecologically damaging," and urging britain to reconsider. that is not very likely, at least not in the short term. today, south africa is gearing up for a likely fourth wave, dominated by this new variant. . but scientists here insist that trying to isolate countries or regions makes no practical sense. >> we saw with the delta variant that within three weeks, 53 countries were reporting cases of the delta variant. so stop being shoveled from one country or even -- so stopping travel from one country or even a small group of countries really becomes superfluous. it is really not the solution. andrew: but could there be an upside to the arrival of this new variant? in recent months, south africa's vaccine rollout has slowed down. it is the same in other african countries, partly down to a shortage of vaccines, but also due to public apathy. fear of the new variant could change that. >> hopefully we get past this sta

south africa is done. he was the last president under south africa's racist apartheid system. he was diagnosed with cancer earlier this year. he said the clerk played a key role. >> south africans were not expecting much change from their new president in 1989 despite international pressure against apartheid and a growing protest movement at home. but frederick william de klerk had been in office only five months when he gave a speech announcing sweeping reforms. ending a system of racial segregation. he also made a commitment to release mel's him and -- nelson mandella. the icon of the struggle for black liberation walked free after more than 20 something years behind bars. in may of 1994, nelson mandela's party one a sweeping majority. he became south africa's first black president. his attitude toward the apartheid area remained ambiguous. in 1996, he withdrew his party from mandel's government and stepped down as vice president. shortly after, he retired from politics. reaction to his death in south africa has been mixed. >> rest in peace, someone has died but we need to se

about 50 cases of this particular variant in south africa, it's one that's also been detected in many other countries. and it shouldn't be assigned to south africa in particular. and that's simply because south africa, they say sciences here have been at the forefront of tracking these mutations and any changes in the virus. so they is concerned around the impact that these bands will have on south africa, especially given the difficulty the economy has gone through throughout the span. they make a head of the holiday season. when most of the travelers, the holiday travelers come from europe and the united kingdom and bring in millions of dollars worth of revenue and now that's going to come to was stopped. so there really is a worry around what the travel band means and the south african government saying they're going to try their best along with the world health organization to get that reversed. indeed, and with the run up to christmas, the timing couldn't be much worse. tell us a bit more about the new strain. what are scientists telling us? well, scientists are telling us be cautious. we do know that the world health organization ha

we have sent vaccines to south africa as well. south africa does not need any more vaccines in their having it trouble getting out into people's arms and the reluctance is there. i don't think it would have that effect. let me call alexis. >> thank you so much, mr. president. i want to ask if the u.s. is doing anything to screen international travels for the variant and what is being done, if anything, internally to see if the variant is already right? >> president biden: there's a lot being done. i'm going to turn to dr. fauci to answer that last question about what is being done. doc? >> thank you, mr. president. we are to have it in place will bill government united states that they have to be tested before they get on and they have to show vaccination documentation. even before omicron came in, we had a situation where will be able to test. talking about testing, fortunately for us, the pcr's that we use would pick up this very unusual variants that has a large constellation of mutation. fortunately for us, the pcr's that we do have

it deals with apartheid, south africa in postapartheid south africa.t deals with the promises and the hopes and what has happened there. one thing quite interesting about the novel is it has a very interesting narrator. the narrator shifts positions throughout the novel. sometimes it is very funny. sometimes it also turns on the reader and can be quite derisive. it can be quite mean and cruel. the idea for it came up during a semi-drunken conversation the author was having with a friend of his about funerals. kind of realized in his conversation where he thought, funerals can also be funny and funerals are not about the dead so much. they are about the living. it follows four funerals over four decades. brent: the way you describe it, it makes me think that the act of reading is also an act of working. you have to concentrate. that tells us or gives us some insight into the author. what more do we know about him? >> he has been nominated twice before for a booker prize in 2000 three and 2010. this is third time lucky for him. he suffered cancer as a ch

south african authorities have been actively sharing. but we still have a lot more to learn about the situation in south africa and the efforts should be focused on not only south africa but countries in the southern regions and ensure they get a full picture of the virus, able to clamp down as much as possible on the transmission of the virus and protect the rest of us from any potential consequences. >> there are so many moving pieces when it comes to the european health situation in this stage you have some countries with strict measures like austria with the 20 day lockdown and you have more restrictions for winter so what does it mean as we deal with a variant like this is the population slightly more protected than if they were circling as per norrmal as we went into the pandemic. >> i think it's important we separate the two concepts, the situation in europe is around the rapid transmission increases for the delta variant. which is the only -- practically the only variant circulating in europe the vaccines we have in europe and authorized by the medical authority are extremely efficient on protecting against severe disease, death and hospitalizations, an
