u. k. and france, i think therapy reports that the individuals migrants who are coming to the u. k. are not only coming from france that they're coming from other countries such as belgium and the netherlands. and so i think it's very difficult to draw immediate conclusions and on here is responsible. i think it's true that this is an issue which is as historical, has been around for many years. and the u. k. and france have had close corporation since 2003 with the le tiki agreement and an series of bilateral agreements since then. and there has also been as, as you will be aware, an increased corporation this year already. and in july, if you can, france agreed to incorporate more so i think. and what's, what's needed at the moment is not so much a blame game, but rather looking at the thought, seeing what the situation is and working on a practical solutions. a good outcome. jack, you spoke about the o, it's work of the french anger, basically about the a letter which ballast johnson, the british prime minister, posted on twitter, which talks about he outlines key major areas wher

calorie labels on food are nothing new here. but in the u k there's a new push for posting summer information on alcohol. >> experts say public awareness of the calories in drinks would have health benefits, including lowering obesity rates. a study by the british government found that almost 3 and a half million people in the country consume an extra day's worth of calories. a week from alcohol. researchers also discovered that 75% of people in the u k are unaware of the amount of calories and beer, wine and cocktails. a drink. now the government is considering requiring manufacturers to post nutritional information including calories per serving on the alcohol labels to try to increase consumer knowledge. >> the merriam-webster dictionary has decided on his word of the year. it is vaccine. the dictionary's editor at large says the word represents 2 stories, the remarkable speed in which the covid-19 vaccines were developed as well as the policy debates surrounding them. the selection comes after the oxford dictionary announced that its word

u. k. are also releasing oil from their reserves. white house correspondent, kimberly how kit has more on the decisions. it was also a speech that was geared towards those nay sayers that say the president is making a mistake by releasing the strategic petroleum reserves. what the criticism has been, is that this might resolve the issue in the short term and lead to some, in the immediate future, lower gas prices. but ultimately, because the issue of supply and demand globally has not been resolved, that this will drive the prices up. so what you heard there is the president not only saying, look at this is a global problem, but the fact that he's also saying that this will work out in the end one point to know. and all of this is that with regard to the release of these reserves, the president isn't just releasing it all over night. in fact, there's going to be one portion down in the 1st 3 months and then another portion in the coming months. and this he believes is going to allow for this kind of staggered approach that will ensur

u. k. care home workers about being told by politicians to get a vaccination. but there will be people who remember back to last spring and the i was fatality numbers in u. k. k aims who are going to be thinking, if i'm putting my relative in these care homes, i want people to be vaccinated. they're going to be worried and maybe find that behavior selfish. yes, i expect care workers to be immunized because unfortunately, this corona virus can be infectious and could kill the elderly people without your knowing on the day you were infectious, we have to be careful to not let covered, once again, massed a lot of the social issues that are going on in society that have been a long time affecting people, causing deaths, housing long time ambulance weights. there are lots of issues that are underlying this. are we just like covert overtake if you are the government instead of mandatory a coven vaccinations? what would you do to convince people to get a job is not so much about convincing people being and people it be mandatory. i think it's more about giving people the choice and give them all the information that they require and letting them have the choice. several 100 brit

u. k. are expected to see it could not make impact, but it's certainly a lot of angle from the president and the government around the good work they say scientists are doing around sequencing to them sequencing and also just tracing cobra. 1900 changes and instead of south africa being punished, we had dec christa's in there from south africa's precedent on travel bands. and passengers arriving to you k from all 10 of these southern african nations need to quarantine as of sunday. that's the same for people from 6 of these countries entering japan. and from monday, the u. s. is banning travelers from 8 of them except for american citizens. as a nation to going further, america is halting. all incoming ad traveled from around the world. the next 2 weeks from monday and that fall as a similar decision by israel, a ban on all foreign travellers has just come into effect there to last the next 2 weeks. i forced reports from occupied east jerusalem. getting in while the getting was good. sunday was

u. k. are the parts of western europe and china infections arising. it'll be very interesting to see what happens in, in the northern hemisphere as by and large many countries have no restrictions at all now. and back to things. obviously the whole population is not vaccinated. and, and as they go into winter, people are closing the windows and doors and there's a higher risk of transmission in both households and businesses and social social settings. so i think where we're about to learn a lot and that is how much we can rely on the vaccine on to why richard nations are racing to give booster shots. poor countries, particularly in africa, are struggling to get supplies of back scenes, leaving millions of people, fundable, conflict and poverty have already devastated healthcare systems in syria, yemen, haiti, democratic republic of congo, which have yet to vaccinate. even 5 percent of the populations, the lack of vaccination in the poor world has a huge impact in 2 ways. first of many, many people are dying today. don't need to die. getting very, ver

u. k. are sitting down with iranian officials. iran's talk negotiator said he was optimistic after monday's meetings. iran wants all us sanctions dropped before agreeing to any deal. activists 11 and have been blocking roads in protest against deteriorating living conditions caused by the economic crisis. the local currency is in free fall, and the government has failed to provide the social safety net for the poor. after scrapping subsidies on essential goods. the crisis is not new, but critics say the situation is worsening. georgia's former president make our 2nd feeley has appeared in court on charges of abuse of office. he used the hearings in the capital to please see as an opportunity to publicly denounced the georgian authorities, such really has been held in jail since returning from exile last month. he faces 6 years in prison for corruption, but says the charges are politically motivated. and those are the top stories, the stream is coming up next, the asking if music can bring about

u. k. are grappling with a staffing crisis. the situation is being widely pinned on breaks it, but others claim the pandemic is the main factor. either way, things are at a critical stage. a shortage of butcher's means firms are now sending carcasses to the e. u for processing before being re imported back again. here's the take of the british meat processors association, chief on that is not an ideal solution by any stretch of imagination, but it's borne out of desperation. ready in terms of we haven't got enough butch's . we were in a situation where nearly 70 percent of our workers were non u. k. a, mainly from europe. we've got big building up on farm and we've been trying to keep that fly running on top of that. actually we've got the cost of exporting. so meet because of the actual house, it gets all that handles. we have to go straight to export, meet the british meet industry now has a sh staffing shortfall of 15 percent. it's lead to backlogs on all the tours and pre processing plants. outsourcing that work to the you a

u. k. are ineffective, but not only that, when done in this way, all they do is perpetuate stigma and xena phobia against the country in south africa. they did the right thing that after this this, this variance was isolated by dr. sequel, lily, a moya, as in bob, when scientist, based in botswana on that says nothing about wind is originated, it just means that's where this superior science was given the ability to use genomic sequencing was done. yeah. and that's an interesting point. you may go back to the south africa says as being punished for announcing this variance. i mean, that's a fair point. as you say, amounts of africa has been quite open and quite good about the genome sequencing. this rushed to isolate the country. right. i mean, this is as a country that has done exactly what they're supposed to do, be transparent, use the superior science to be able to let the world know what's going on. i'm and then for south africa and 7 other african countries to be targeted to travel bands

u. k. are also releasing oil from their reserves as bringing our white house correspondent kimberly hawkins in washington, dc. kimberly why has present by them made this decision and announcement now? well, it has a lot to do with the fact that we're going into the busiest travel season of the year for most americans. and that is particularly heightened, given the fact that americans haven't been traveling recently due to the pandemic. but things have changed. those numbers now expected to reach pre pandemic levels. and in the case of the american thanksgiving holiday that is occurring in the next couple of days, most americans drive their cars and the prices of gas, as you mentioned in some states have almost doubled in the us state of california. some americans pay $5.00 a gallon here in washington, d. c. more around the $4.00 mark. but the problem is, is that that is in terms of these prices and the high inflation that is not met the wages in the united states. so this is a president under e

u. k. are employed in so called green jobs, but millions more will be required by that date of 2030. i'll just need barker reports now from the humble estuary on the northeast coast of england home to europe's biggest, offshore wind farms rising out of the north sea. a mighty feet of engineering. try to know offshore wind from taking shape. work of an army of newly trained apprentices. this is my going to be my 1st time apprentice. when farms been erected outside in the home by no faith. this ideal location for me to kind of get started and nearby whole. this is one of the largest manufacturers of turbine blades in the world. each hand crafted by workers, many of whom have retrained to join the sustainable energy sector. the region, once the major coal exporter has come full circle, embracing renewable energy, employ a 1000 people on this, this location. in direct roles, we have more than 20000 people apply for those roles at the time. it just shows how it captures people imagination not about working in believe, manufacture, but they hold renewables as a whole. we see potential grow

u. k. are employed in that sector, but climate experts say millions more will be needed by 2030. his knee fokker rising. else if the north sea, a mighty feet of engineering, try to knoll offshore wind from taking shape work of an army of newly trained apprentices. this is mark going to be my 1st time apprentice. when farms been erected outside in the homer? no say, so it's this idea locations me to kinda get started and did nearby whole. this is one of the largest manufacturers of turbine blades in the world. each hand crafted by workers, many of whom have retrained to join the sustainable energy sector. the region, once the major coal exporter has come full circle, embracing renewable energy. we employ a 1000 people on the, at this location. in direct roles, we have more than 20000 people apply for those roles of the sun. it just shows how it captures pizza, the man nation. not about working in manufacturing for the whole renewables such as a whole week, the potential growth as we grow and the blade size grows as well. they'll be further jobs created, not just direct jobs, but a

u. k are ineffective, but not only that, when done in this way, all they do is perpetuate stigma. and xena phobia against a country in south africa. they did the right thing that after this this, this variance was isolated by dr. sequel it, i'm loyal, as in bob, when scientist, based in botswana on deck says nothing about wind is originated. it just means that's where this superior science was done. the ability to use genomic sequencing was done. i mean, this is as a country that has done exactly what they're supposed to do, be transparent, use the superior science to be able to let the world know what's going on. and then for south africa and 7 other african countries to be targeted to travel bands with other countries that we know of right now, have the same variance is completely unacceptable to me, right? when we talk about global of vaccine in equity, we always think about this as a supply issue. but mistrust and access are equal parts of this. and do we not understand why mistrust is not perpetuate? when we continue to do things like this, this is absolutely unacceptable. fr

u. k are insisting belarus is trying to destabilize its neighbors, but russia, an ally of belarus, says that simply not true. christian salumi is at the united nations caribbean members of the security council called this closed door meeting, amid rising tensions at the border between poland and bella. roofs afterwards, the estonian master spoke to the media flanked by other european members of the council. in the united states, accusing the president, alexander lucas shanker. of bella, roost of facilitating migrants crossing the european union has been at odds with beller roosts ever since. the contested 2020 elections after which it imposed sanctions on the country. the bell russian authorities should understand that putting pressure on the european union in this way through a cynical instrumentalists zation of migrants will not succeed. russia's deputy ambassador also spoke his president, vladimir putin has also been accused of being behind the crisis by poland. but the deputy ambassador denied his country or bela roost had anything to do with bringing migrants to the border. there i

u. k, are just dropped in the bucket in terms of what actual volume they're actually, you know, after the market. oh, you know what, what's interesting is, is the u. s. and often itself is also fairly small, you know, it's, it $50000000.00 barrels right, of which $18000000.00 barrels will be accelerated, a pre approved sale to be brought forward under the remaining $32000000.00 barrels or an exchange. so they have to be replaced over time, depending on who takes it out. um so you know, the actual amount is, is fairly small. as i mentioned earlier, you know, it's going to be phased over next several months. i mean, did you us use over 20000000 barrels of oil per day and overall 50000000 barrel. you know, release is, you know, is, is fairly marginal. and i think this will compel to look like they were doing something. you know, the, the actual impact is going to be a fairly limited, you know, to what the, i wouldn't know if you could just kind of back, you know, a couple of weeks ago i'm oil prices were used for breath, you're heading towards 90. so just the need to talk out there in the ma

u. k. are urging the government to take drastic action over a health care crisis. that's after an h. s report found a growing number of people a dying while waiting for delayed emergency care. and how high profile example last month. it was our beta patel mother of 2 and greater manchester who passed away after waiting more than an hour for an ambulance to show up. call records show her screaming at 999, call handlers, pleading for help and telling them she was dying. her son, ash k patel told us what happened throw all initial calls. nobody stayed on the line with me. no one said ok. this is what you need to do to help your mom. not nothing. lot of this. the only time. you know, they gave me instruction was on the final call when my mom was passed on the floor and they gave me instructions to give the cpr and i see all the time the stayed on the phone. all the calls the only time. and that's because she was, you know, she stopped grieving. if they told me a half to know the typical wait time is going to be about an hour. at that point i could have taken it downstairs into the, into

u. k. but they can't reach the u. k. safely, because there are no visas where they can access safe transport to the u. k. and so this leads to the tragedy that we saw now, according to french law. if your and asylum seeker, you should have access to housing and food while you're waiting for your assignment, claim to be processed. but france has intentionally not provided a budget to ensure that refugees aren't homeless. so for example, the french parliament recently agreed to allocate a budget for 4 and a half 1000 homes for refugees. but there are 50000 refugees who have just recently been applying for asylum and you have situations where refugees not only live without homes, but if they tried to set up a tent on the streets, police will flash the 10, destroy it, and confiscate sleeping bags. so the government is actively trying to course individuals to leave the country. and that's one of the reasons that they risk their life. trying to cross the channel. police in iran have arrested 67 people during protests against water shortages. if are tea

u. k. are all also releasing well from their reserves. will it speak to our white house correspond? kimberly hawkins, she's in washington dc. kimberly, i seem to recall under president obama the price of a barrel of oil sat over a $100.00 a barrel to some time. and he chose not to do this. so why is by making the school now well, has a lot to do with the american thanksgiving holiday. it's the busiest travel day of the year in the united states that is coming up in a couple of days. and what this president doesn't want is americans thinking about him and blaming him for the high gas prices when they fill up their fuel tags. so this is in many cases political, but it also has to do with what we can see in the united states for recent weeks and months now. and that is overall rising prices. it's not just the price of gasoline, which out in california is about $5.00 a gallon here a d. c. it's about a hovering under $4.00 a gallon. so it really varies where you are in the country, but it's other things as well. the cost of food, the fact that there's been a supply chain crisis in the un

u. k. are to be blah blurring. but what about the real estate? what a, getting the power where it's needed to poor people in this world. under many thanks, under simmons took interest from ca, 26 in glasgow. well, as we were hearing there from andrew simmons in india has not signed up to the cold deal. and while renewable power generation has tripled there in recent years, the coal sector is also expanding. elizabeth moran and reports now from come home to india's biggest coal reserves. these fires have been burning across the jody a cold field in india's eastern state of johnson. for more than 100 years, they've destroyed thousands of homes and made much of jody a town uninhabitable. the bowery is now a single parent. after his 30 year old wife call jani baby fell into a pit while taking the daughter to use the toilet. the ground he often caves in the cause of the fires. my daughter came running and said mommy has fallen into a bit. i rushed to the fort and i pray to god that no one has to ever see a site like julia is india's most lucrative coa

u. k. are expected in a time when the economy has also been battered by the impact of coven 19 and south africa having been on a read list for many months once before familiar. what is the latest current situation in south africa? and how is this new strain impacted in scientists say they're still exploring the investigating, it's just exactly how it's impacting the spike in numbers in south africa. but, but we speak about a spike that's about $400.00 infections a month ago, per week on average. and now that's going to just over 2000. so they say that they still remains a significant amount of data to be collected, to understand better what is driving an increase in numbers. but also, and this comes from the world health organization, there's a reminder that the dominant variant globally is the delta variance, and that's a very, that's affecting many countries. so there isn't clarity or certainty on the extent of this new variant. and just how it might be driving up numbers. at this stage, sout

u. k. are all also releasing well from their reserves. well, let's be to our white house correspondent, kimberly hallett in washington, dc. kimberly we were saying earlier under obama, the price of about of oil sat over $100.00 a barrel for some time. he chose not to do this. so, why is biden deciding to do this now? or perhaps, we'll have a clear understanding about the timing, given the fact that the u. s. president will be talking about this, why he decided to do this in the next hour. so we're watching very carefully here at the white house for that. but there's been all kinds of speculation about why this might be happening now. and it has to do in large part with the american thanksgiving holiday. this week. it's the busiest travel holiday of the year in the united states and millions of americans get into their cars. they fill up their gas tanks and they are too happy with what they're seeing right now in the u. s. in some states, the price of gasoline has risen as much as 50 percent like states like california other parts. it's no

u. k. are all also releasing oil from their reserves. our white house correspondent can be hawk. it has more. what this president doesn't want is americans thinking about him and blaming him for the high gas prices when they fill up their fuel tanks. so this is in many cases political, but it also has to do with what we've been seeing the united states for recent weeks and months now. and that is overall rising prices. it's not just the price of gasoline, which out in california is about $5.00 a gallon here in d. c. it's about a hovering under $4.00 a gallon. so it really varies where you are in the country, but it's other things as well. the cost of food, the fact that there's been a supply chain crisis in the united states and globally, which means that many retailers can't keep the shelves stocked. so all of this is leading to a problem for the president politically, that is low approval ratings. the president doesn't want to see those fall any further, or have people gathered around the table, grumbling and calling out his name. so the timing is strategic on the part of the p

u. k. scientists are describing a new cobit 19 varian identified across southern africa. as the most concerning. they have seen yet, the u. k. health security agency says it has mutations that could make it spread and infect people more easily. it adds the variance, spike protein is dramatically different to the original corona virus. the cooper 19 vaccines are based on southern african scientists say they've detected the variant in small numbers of people so far. cases of also been seen in botswana and hong kong. the early indications we have of the varied is that it may be more transmissible than the delta variant and it, the vaccines that we currently have may be less effective against it. our scientists are deeply concerned about this varied. i'm concerned of course, and that's one of the reasons we've taken this action to day. i will say we don't know enough about this very and no one does. i think probably the u. k knows more the most because the excellent work we do on surveillance. but i think it is right that we take this approach and we remain cautious. the deput

u. k. scientists are describing a new cobit 19 varian identified across southern africa as the most concerning, they have seen yet the u. k. health security agency says it has mutations that could make a spread, and in fact, people more easily. it adds the variance, spike protein is dramatically different to the original corona virus. the cooper 19 vaccines are based on southern african scientists say they've detected the variant in small numbers of people so far cases of.

u. k. but they can't reach the u. k. safely, because there are no visas where they can access safe transport to the u. k. and so this leaves the tragedy that we saw. now, france has said that these people don't want to be in france, say it because the language barrier and other reasons. if france did more to encourage them to stay in france, is that a way forward? do you think? absolutely, the problem isn't just that france isn't doing more to encourage them. it's that france is actively making it so that refugees can't access basic necessities ran so according to french law, if you're in a silent seeker, you should have access to housing and food while you're waiting for your asylum claim to be processed. but france has intentionally not provided a budget to ensure that refugees aren't homeless. so for example, the french parliament recently agreed to allocate a budget for 4 and a half 1000 homes for refugees. but there are 50000 refugees who have just recently been applying for asylum and you have situations where refugees not only live without

u. k. as concerns about these new cases and they are ready to take action. just talk us through what steps the u. k is likely to be taking yes, we spoke about a couple of hours ago about the potential for plan b, which would be the idea of non vaccinated people being bought from certain indoor venues and a return of trace mass in certain venues as well. well, certainly the face mask part as come to pass and that's what or johnson, the prime minister said. there will be a requirement for people to start wearing face masters, certain indoor shops, for example. some of the other details that he gave were also rather fascinating. first of all, he said, as other people have said that we are in a very early stage of trying to get an understanding of exactly what this on the con variant means whether it's more transmissible, wherever it's more deadly, those kind of the characteristics of it. so at the very early stages of that, he also said that it does spread rapidly and has a crucial point. she said it seems to spread rapidly, even between those people who are alr
