done. they say that's because she had only been in the u. k for 3 weeks and took the right hand lane. instinctively, well, let's learn more and cross live now to rob seger advisor and spoke suppose in full, that done family. thanks so much for joining us here. we're naughty, international, great to have you with us. we understand that a mrs. a kudos will be attending the trial by video, not in person. so can justice still be served while she remains stateside? do you think, rory, good afternoon, look, or, or, or, or position all along. as victims of this crime is didn't a, you just don't get to do this sort of thing and walk away when we're less concerned about what the outcome of any criminal proceedings are. we're more concerned with that point of principle and it's now up to these, to the british authorities to see that justice is done and, and the family will just play their part about as the victims of a crime. it's not up to us. but, you know, speaking honestly, on behalf of the family how justice is done, it is less important than than

u. k. has done something to offend or slow, perhaps coming up with ah ah ah, ah ah ah, ah, with ah, with to what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms race is on offense. very dramatic development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very difficult time time to sit down and talk oh hello again. the new omicron strain of cobit has not been detected in 38 countries according to the world health organization. no debt soviet been reported with this particular mutation. though the latest data suggests the virus is spreading twice as fast as the previous delta variant. not south south africa, which was among the 1st to report the new strain, a seeing record daily cove infections. the low vaccination rate in the country has started picking up in recent days. jobs are widely available, but less than half of the adult population has been inoculated or corresponded policy, or spoke to vaccine experts and the country's largest city journalist. people don't know what this on the crown is, esp

u. k. they, they lag 2 to 3 weeks behind what happens here. so they have done this time when the u. k introduced travel restrictions a week or so later. europe did the same thing with predictably limited results. the u. k. introduced light touch measures and now we see france and germany. others have gone further, of course, but france and germany also introducing light touch measures, looking at the same data coming perhaps to similar conclusions and deciding that the really important thing here is the booster campaign. so german is you outline that introducing some new restrictions and measures over the new year period. but putting the focus on getting people to try to buy time for that to happen. france reducing the delay off to the 2nd dose of the vaccine before you can get a booster from 4 months to 3 months. and, you know, everybody essentially in the same boat in this part of the world. looking at what happens here looking at the data, and i'm hoping that it turns out to be less severe. that it was that the vaccine that it than delta was that the vaccine program continues to b

u. k, prosecutors say the wife of a u. s. diplomat charged with killing a teenager will face criminal proceedings after all, answer coolest. fled to america after her car collided with motorcyclist. hurry done outside the pentagon military base in england. the tragedy happened more than 2 years ago, then mister coolest was charged with causing death by dangerous driving. right after the crash though, she claimed diplomatic immunity and was allowed to leave the u. k. that family filed an extradition request, which was rejected by washington, lawyers acting for cyclists on previously admitted that she drove on the wrong side of the road before colliding with hurry done. they say that's because she had only been in the u. k. 3 weeks and took the right hand lane instinctively. rod seager, an advisor from the done family earlier spoke to the program. he thinks their long campaign for justice is finally making progress. we sort of feel this is a combination of almost 2 and a half years now of relentless, tireless campaigning for this appalling decision by the u. s. government should deny mary's family justice. we don't know why this happened. all we know was that it was a, it's a terrible decisio

u. k as well. what seems to be kind of the general sincere of what needs to be done in order to get on the ground under control, specifically in the u. k. well specifically the you can think they've been, they've actually done overall good job on in terms of the vaccination rates because a 92 percent of the population is vaccinated. particularly those over 12 and 8 in 10 adults had their 2nd job and there's plenty for the rest. i think the n h s has done a very efficient job, certainly more efficient than the rest of europe. and so on the chrome, i think it's going to be very similar and that is adding people vaccinated. and what people are talking about is very interesting though boys johnson doesn't talk about this. president biden doesn't talk about it is, you know, the people that do, it's very unfortunate, of course, that they suffer greatly. and those people that, that, you know, with that the death rates are they don't talk about the co morbidity issues. they don't talk about the co mobility numbers of the commodity rates a tool. i'm so that the lot of people are immune compromised every sick. a

is a silver lining, though, which is that new data that's come out from a study that's been done in the u. k. suggest that if you have the micron variance, you are a 3rd less likely to end up in hospital than you would have done if you had the delta variance. add to that the improvements that being triple vaccinated gives to your chances as well and 81 percent reduction in the likelihood the over in end up in the hospital compared to what you would be likely to end up in hospital if. if you have been completely vaccinated, those are the silver linings, but yeah, i have to say it's still looking pretty grim out that with the that the severe number of people who are getting into hospital anyway. and the burden that all of those hospitalizations are putting on the national health service at the u. k. you have lots of start from the n h s who are off sick at the moment with coven 19. and the system is starting to creek. so politicians around the u. k. a warning that the situation is worsening. we don't yet know when the peak at the micro wave is going to be reached at the moment and the number o

we estimated to be at the beginning of 2022 or at the end of january to be done in the u. k. where booster jobs will be available to anyone over 18. the arrival of the alma cron variant has led to a clamor for vaccinations. we're starting to see people who, i think probably anxious about the various in come across in the us to get people coming for their 1st and 2nd jazz that they couldn't possibly had months ago. you case prime minister boris johnson himself got his booster on thursday in germany. the government will also consider compulsory vaccinations. and as people put their hopes in jobs, being able to ward off on chrome, something that scientists are still unsure about. there's a chilling prediction from the european union's public health agency. it says that within a few months the omicron variant could be causing more than half of covered infections in the e u. and from the norwegian, capital alls low another warning, more than 50 people have been infected with the over crown variance at a christmas party in a restaurant. the government says they were all vaccinated.

u. k. government, what, how did you feel that i've done a few between just during the pandemic itself, but what you know, was the government really listening to the advice and the potential outcomes of, of locked downs and other such a border closures? well, the interesting thing in the u. k certainly is that the scientists were calling for tied to measures a little bit before they the sort of on the current very variance impact was properly calculated. so they had been dis, concerned that things were getting slightly worse, that cases would be picking up in the winter. and they had already been, of course, some increased travel restrictions that were coming along. in addition to what we've seen more recently, which is go back to working from home as much as you possibly can. and the discussions that we having about cov, if possible, and so on. so i would suggest that in this case, the politicians here would say we have been listening to the science even though, as has just been said, maybe the army can barion isn't as dangerous as people had thought in terms of its impact, even though it'
