usually scientists will look at the flu prevalence in the southern hemisphere where the winter season just finished to help predict what may happen in the u.s. >> empirical data from the southern hemisphere is that flu rates have remained at historically low levels in australia and most of the southern hemisphere. in australia fewer than 10% of the flu tests they have done have been positive. they have only had 483 cases and no deaths. reporter: but we cannot be too safe. >> because if we have a covid surge and a flu surge it creates all sorts of extra pressure on the hospitals. reporter: he added we have already started to see shifting immunity with other viruses like rsv, a common respiratory virus usually contracted in the winter but became more common in the summer this year. so he says when changes like that happen it could further prolong our current flu season even past april or may when it is supposed to finish. stephanie sierra, abc 7 news. ama: since the symptoms for flu and covid are so similar, how do doctors recommend we differentiate them? reporter: they are very similar

but did you know there's an equally impressive display in the southern hemisphere, the aurora australisand to seek it out. it's really one of the world's most phenomenal natural light shows. it's very otherworldly, it's very dramatic. since moving to dunedin in 2013, i've become completely and utterly bonkers about this amazing phenomenon, and i spend many dark night chasing around remote parts of southern new zealand where we get to see the australis. but a few years ago i realised that actually if i really wanted to see the aurora australis, i've get to way south of new zealand. so to do that, we need — i guess you'd call it an airliner, basically. find the active area of the aurora and then start orbiting around till we get fantastic views, and that's what we're doing tonight. we're ten hours, really chasing auroras across the southern ocean, 41,000 feet in an amazing aircraft, boeing 787. we've just seen the numbers and it looks like the aurora is kind of brewing for a bit of a storm, which is good. you can tell there's been a bit of a party here in christchurch. i always like to ho

particularly green hydrogen, is that most of that power is within the developing world, within the southern hemisphereut you can create very large economies, fully sustainable, electrify their countries, have their kids be able to study at night like ours, which they can't without the lights on, and turn export economies into their countries. and you're trying to persuade me that this is, as you're using this word repeatedly, implementable in the short term, to set up in afghanistan, in countries like drc, the renewable energy sources that will power up a hydrogen—based economy around the world. i find that fantastical. all right, well, stephen, we're not talking afghanistan. i've been asked if i'll implement the projects. i did agree with the former government. i've said, "now, we have a set of principles. you can't abide by them. the answer is no." but we have 130 projects, stephen, around the world. now, there's trillions of dollars, there's any type of government commitments, there's lots of bold statements, but there just don't happen to be a lot of projects. and these are great projects, which f

usually, scientists study what's been circulating in the southern hemisphere to help formulate a flu. but, this year, the guesswork has been hampered by lockdowns disrupting the usual influenza patterns. if we look to australia, for example, we know that influenza a is circulating there right now, it's causing 97% of the flu cases. but if we look to china, which is ahead of us in terms of the lockdown measures and their progress through the covid pandemic, they have mainly influenza b, so we're not exactly certain, but the vaccines have a mix of strains in them, so they will offer protection for multiple different types of flu, so we're trying to cover all bases. flu normally kills around 11,000 people every winter, but a report published earlier this year from the academy of medical sciences warned respiratory illnesses could hit very high levels and flu deaths alone could reach 60,000 in a worst—case scenario. naomi grimley, bbc news. well, the focus today is on the flu vaccine, but in the last few minutes we have had news about the many people who took part in trials to develop a

we just watched the southern hemisphere going through their winter during our summer months.stimate is somewhere between we don't see any and we could have a major outbreak, which i know is not helpful. that's why you should get your flu shot because you don't want to play catchup should we have an outbreak. >> i usually get the flu or something close to it because of the social distancing, the hand washing, sanitizing and the masks, nothing the past two years. so there you go. >> that's good. that's good. >> good news. thank you. i appreciate it. i'll see you soon. >> thank you very much, don. >> we'll be right back. for people who could use a lift new neutrogena® rapid firming. a triple-lift serum with pure collagen. 92% saw visibly firmer skin in just 4 weeks. neutrogena® for people with skin. look, i gotta say something.

countries mostly in the southern hemisphere of still 500 million doses short.hat doesn't care about borders. the u.s. has shared more doses than any other country in the world. but does the u.s. need to focus more energy on vaccinations overseas before boosting at home? >> so the good news is we can do both. should we be doing more on global vaccinations? absolutely, we should be focusing more on increased production, sharing more. we still have too many doses expiring in our pharmacies and going to waste. we should be getting them out more efficiently and effectively. we have so many vaccine doses here that we can share them and vaccinate or boost the vulnerable americans who need that additional shot. so i don't see it as a tradeoff, but i agree we need to do more on global vaccinations. >> a study published on the cdc website shows people who got any covid vaccine were less likely to die from any cause, not just covid, compared to unvaccinated people. that tells us the vaccines are definitively safe. what else does it tell you about maybe just the kinds of p

the content in our emotion and our rage, if you will, to a population that's greater than the southern hemisphere this is terrifying. and we're seeing evidence of this everywhere. you can see levels of admittance to emergency rooms of self-harm among girls start to explode just as instagram was acquired by facebook. mark zuckerberg is the most dangerous person in the world, and this gestault around money being able to overrun any reasonable sense of regulation by big tech has turned this into -- has turned these companies into what i call the menace economy and some are worse than others but we have regulated other industries. it's just very strange that we've decided to let these firms get away with things that we would let no other firm get away with. >> scott galloway, appreciate it. thank you, scott. >> thank you, anderson. >>> still ahead. my conversation with william shatner about his upcoming trip to space. i think i'd be -- i mean, i would want to be staring out the window the whole time. >> glued! i want to spresz my nose up against the plastic window. what i don't want to see is somebod

i think it all starts with australia and the southern hemisphere.a did a lot of social distancing, a lot of masking, and that worked even better for flu than for covid by the way because it doesn't spread as easily. it worked, very low flu severity and cases, numbers extremely low in australia. then we saw the same thing. we had historic number of people getting the flu shot last year, over 160 million. that helped a lot. again the measures we call them mitigating strategies worked here too. here's the good news, australia another really low flu season this year. historically very very low again. very low severity, very low number of cases, so why are we concerned here? you already said it, because we're vulnerable because we don't have the cross protection of a prior year, and we especially worry about that in our children who we really don't want to see any severe cases among children, which we can see, and so i am encouraging everybody to get their flu shot now. right now, by the way, we're very very low on flu. of all the respiratory viruses goi

but last year we had so little flu both in the northern and southern hemisphere that. it does. as well. but i think the chances are it will be a very good match. plus all the vaccines. all the influenza vaccines cover four strings last year. many of them just covered three. so that will be very good. we have the high dose influenza vaccine for people 65 over. that's great. so those things are in her corner. the vaccines are critical, even though the influenza vaccines aren't as good as the covid vaccines, there's still protect at least half of the people who get them. but you know, it's not just vaccines. we can prevent covid and we can prevent influenza by the non pharmaceutical interventions of masking social distancing and avoiding congregate settings. keep that in mind. those things work too. yeah clearly, they do, given the level of flu activity that we saw during last year's flu season. it's pretty clear that mask wearing made an impact there. appreciate your time. we have to leave the conversation right there. dr jon swartz berg from uc berkeley school of public health,

a colder climate for the northern hemisphere and perhaps more droughts in the southern hemisphere.it is going to push agricultural prices and food prices. not that they needed another excuse to rally. finally, as we have all talked about, a very positive day. japanese stocks, korean stocks, all doing really well. semiconductors are doing well, driving career, we saw yesterday on earnings and taiwan is also doing excellent. hsi returns from a two day break and positive again today. anna: stocks are booming. that is a theme that comes through in the gmm. it is not just about u.s. bank earnings. are you feeling convinced? mark: not convinced that all. the earnings story has been so positive. we came from a little bit of a correction. maybe we got too pessimistic too quickly. people have got a little bit more into the inflation debate. one of the themes of this week is people got very excited and now we have already pushed back on the stagflation idea. growth is ok. it's not going to be stagflation. it may be inflation but not stagflation. anna: let me ask where you take your cues from

in the southern hemisphere, they are used much more rightly than we use in the north, so here's my questionout every other government? what about every other government? what about the uk government? do we just say, until congress makes dissent about this, there is nothing we do? ,, dissent about this, there is nothing wedo? ,, , we do? quite the opposite. i believe every country _ we do? quite the opposite. i believe every country in _ we do? quite the opposite. i believe every country in the _ we do? quite the opposite. i believe every country in the rotor _ we do? quite the opposite. i believe every country in the rotor look - we do? quite the opposite. i believe every country in the rotor look at - every country in the rotor look at its own values and do what he is right. and i think the uk should have its own laws, the european union should have its own laws, asia, south america, everywhere, everywhere need to do it, and the critical point is we do not need a core knitted response here. every country should pick the thing that bothers them most, the way australia did with their news or

quite as sure this year what's going to be circulating, but we have got some idea from the southern hemispherey unwell with it. and, really importantly, you're much less likely to pass it on to other people who could be even more vulnerable. flu normally kills around 11,000 people every winter, but a report published earlier this year from the academy of medical sciences warned respiratory illnesses could hit very high levels, and flu deaths alone could reach 60,000 in worst case scenario. naomi grimley, bbc news. the number of countries on the uk red list, which are subject to the most severe covid travel restrictions, is being cut from 5a to seven. from monday, fully vaccinated travellers can come from countries like south africa, thailand and mexico without the mandatory ten days of hotel quarantine in britain. government is also planning to replace the day to a mandatory pcr tests with cheaper lateral flow tests. with more details on this, here's our transport correspondent caroline davies. piece by piece, plane by plane, international travel has been reopening. now the red list has dramat

right now it doesn't appear we will have a big flu season in the southern hemisphere which critics whatwe are in store for a bad seed flu season at some point because of the susceptibility since it's been quite cs and for so long, but it probably won't be that severe based on the models. maria: but you are feeling like as it relates to covid things have gotten better; correct? >> straight in the uk right now that's accounting or possibly accounting for a bump up in cases. we will not eradicate this. we need to keep hospitalizations down and the immunity process of future variance and we can keep hospitalizations lower than we are in good shape, but i worry people are seeking eradication with some of these covid policies that are really designed on covid elimination. we are not going to get there and we have no exit criteria right now, for a lot of policies put in place albeit school masks where vaccination mandates. we have no exit criteria once the cases go down and that's a problem. we have to adjust policy accordingly. maria: well, maybe that will happen after the 2022 election coinc

but did you know there's an equally impressive display in the southern hemisphere, the aurora australisround remote parts of southern new zealand when we get to see the australis. but a few years ago i realised if i wanted to see the aurora australis i've gotta get way south of new zealand. we've got to get an airliner, basically. find the active area of aurora and then start orbiting around until you get fantastic views, and that's what we're doing tonight. we are ten hours, really chasing auroras across the southern ocean, 41,000 feet in an amazing aircraft. boeing 787. we've just seen the numbers and the aurora is brewing for a bit of a storm. there is a bit of a party here in christchurch. i always like to hold off on the champagne until we've seen the aurora. that's my personal way of doing things but this is pretty exciting times. this stuff is important. tourism is important to our country, and whatever happens tonight, and i hope to god we see an aurora because otherwise i'm hiding in the toilet, this is really important. ijust want to say, rachel, what an amazing job you have d

s. southern command has warned, china is seeking to establish global logistics and basing and stress infrastructure in our hemisphere in order to project and sustain military power at greater distances. did you agree with that? i think china strategy in the region goes beyond, or it's not just about military strength. of course, it's about, you know, this geopolitical chess game where it's challenging the united states in its own back yard, a backyard that the united states left vacant for the last 20 years as it focused in the middle east. but it's also about securing strategic resources for china. ah, not just because of food, right. agriculture. and for example, pork meat are a sizable exports from south to china, but also securing access to raw materials like minerals needed in the energy transition. we're talking about here about lithium and copper, but also hydrocarbons. so it's not just about staging a military presence, but it's about securing china strategic future and, and do you think china her as china's economic ties have wanted any, any diplomatic influence in the region? of course, and also, i mean ch

southern border, the ports of entry. and a big challenge from a humanitarian standpoint, given what has happened to countries in the western hemisphere. we have all seen the images of the border patrol agents expelling haitian migrants at the border in nothing about those images is acceptable or appropriate. during my visit to the southern border, i saw, and we talked about this, border patrol agents unable to interpret the immigration laws on the books correctly. so my question to you is, how are you going to go about making sure that the agents understand the immigration and refugee laws that are on the books and, number two, that they act humanely when enforcing them? mr. magnus: mr. chairman, thank you very much for the question. i agree that border patrol agents and, for that matter, all members of cbp have significant roles, law enforcement and treating people with humanity. that is what i expect of my own officers wherever i have worked. but i also think that framing has to go back all the way to the academy level, where people first start. in fact i think you can make a credible case that it goes all the way back to the trait
