u. k. here in london, ah, there are no big civic celebrations. there are no big civic celebrations anywhere in the united kingdom. on a normal year where i'm standing at the moment later on in the evening would be absolutely thronging with people coming down to watch the big fireworks display that would be taking place over my shoulder. that's not happening this year. there were plans for celebrations in trafalgar square. that's not happening any more that was cancelled when the full her to the impact of omicron started to become clear. but in the you can, in england's there are still allowed her gatherings of, of significant numbers of people big numbers of people. that's not the case in other parts of the u. k. in scotland, wales, northern ireland, night clubs, a close, big limitations on gatherings of, you know, more than a several more than a few households or more than a 100 or 200 people, et cetera. so there are worries in those parts and, and in england that people are going to be flocking to england to come and come and celebrating and sp

u. k. here should he says do is inevitable when you, when you turn up the volume on these measures, one of these things take time and that to you have to change what's available and what's delivering that's about program. and i think that's what we need. i think that what we see is, is government being nervous about leaving the stable door from the horse to bolts because that's what's happened before. and they don't want it to happen again, much more transmissible. so that trans disability could more than even take any central drop in virulence, inability to cause disease, infect people. then you'll end up with a big burden on society and on each health care systems. none of the us military personnel involved in a bought strong strike of ghana stun, which killed 10 civilians. back in august we'll face any kind of punishment. the pentagon made up and i spent on monday do not anticipate there being issues of personal accountability to be had with respect to the august 29th. here strike lou. busy a

u k. soil ever so. so the very exciting for us here in the u. k. and that will be a 3 day event, is going to be really big festival and celebration of the space industry in the u. k. and to get the satellites up to space for the 1st time here, because he's never been able to launch from the u. k. and we build huge majority of the world small satellites here, but we can't watch them at the moment. so it is a big, big, big opportunity for the u. k. you've also recently signed a deal with sierra space, haven't you? how soon will that translate into a launch? sir? space is a very different system for us, so it will take off vertically somewhere else in the world, but it needs a horizontal spaceport to land dad's will run way to, to return from space. so that will be their return location and where they'll be bringing amazing r and d and research back from microgravity that we can process here in the u. k. and we're looking at doing it out in the next 5 or so years. they're due to have their 1st launch out in colorado, in 2023. so it's a of a few years

u. k boosted program. here in england, they promised to offer every adults that boost a job by the end of the year time, clearly running out that they have massively stepped up the number of jobs that are being given a almost a 1000000 on tuesday. we're given and it's not that the u. k. government is redefining its heights on 32nd charlotte to how challenging a time is this for people in the u. k. very challenging. i think the staff shortages is the biggest concern at the moment, particularly in hospitals emergency services, as well as we know just a couple of days till christmas, people here in the u. k. and around the world facing some very difficult decisions on how they best both celebrate christmas and loved ones. return times. and you did every correspondence or charlottesville, simple reporting from london. thank you very much. and germany has reported its 1st death from the arm across variance. the country's top public health body, so the person was between 60 and 79. so far, germany has confirmed over

and here in the u. k. there are no a standardized ation around ventilation requirements for public spaces, offices building schools. really, it is time to ensure that we have some of these basics in place to treat a clean air just as much as a public health issue as clean water. those are absolutely absolutely fundamental aspects towards this, and it is very likely that we will see a future restrictions here in the u. k. as a result of the rate of spread, i can't see it being blunted by boosters just because of how many we would need to deliver in a very short amount of time. ok, so what would your message please or 2 for people watching anywhere in the world right now about what they should be doing to protect themselves. well 1st of all, if you've not had your 1st or 2nd dose of vaccine, that would be the 1st step in terms of requiring protection and those who are eligible for getting a booster. absolutely, that would be the most effective. now in addition to that, we know that even people who have been

u. k. here, the more transmissible on the cranberry, and it's for the government to tight restrictions. but scientists, a warning that even more must be done and fast. if the country wants to stop hospital admissions from soaring, all of the meetings that we've attended in so far as the network is concerned with modeling is taking place. that the message is clear that this looks like it's the calm before the storm. ah, it's a problem across europe. searching cases, obama crohn and increased frustration that restrictions to combat it. in austria, several people protesting of vaccine mandate were arrested after demonstrations gone increasingly out of control. thousands of protesters in france also took to the streets to express their anger over vaccine past being discussed by the government. if the bill passes, it will bar the unvaccinated from entering public establishments like bars and cafes. it was, lexi does say vaccine pass is a form of dictatorships is not a public health issue, but a polit

u. k. such as here in germany because of the alarming situation there. and it's also moving at an alarming pay is take us through the current situation there at the moment. becca, that's right. germany, the latest country to add the u. k to its list is high risk areas as of tonight. and you want to ride in germany from the u. k, will have the quarantine for 2 weeks, a respective vaccine status, bad looking, as you say, at this rise of on the kron cases in the u. k. the moment we know that crohn is now the dominant barian in both england and scotland london particularly badly hit as you heard in that report, there are major incident have been declared here. essentially, that means that official, the mayor of london can't guarantee the same level of service from emergency services from hospital as the public may like the maryland and pointing particularly to staff absences as a result of the spread of on chrome. now, a massive record 10000 cases were reported in the u. k. yes. today, all this new variant, the mayor of london saying that whole specializatio

u. k. very all there are no big civic celebrations, not here in london. not in edinburgh, not caught if not in belfast. normally a pretty unusual year. this and franklin here in london would be starting to fill up with people now coming down. who will be here to watch queued celebrations, firework display spectacular. going off the famous london i. ferris wheel behind me would have why was going out of it at midnight. that's not happening this year. it didn't happen last year. that was, that was going to be celebration in trafalgar square. but as the only way to cold that was cancelled box elsewhere. if you're in england, at least you can still go and throw your royal party. you can go out to a restaurant, you can go to a nightclub, you can do what you want to do with century because there are no real restrictions in england, but other parts of the u. k. do you have restriction? so scotland, wales, and northern ireland night clubs are closed, tight limits on the number of people who can gather together and celebrates. and there are a warnings for him. hea

u. k. and europe. london remains the at the center here in the u. k. with more than a 122000, you infections recorded in one day while france is crossed a 100000 cases in a day. for the 1st time. we want to talk to me and mon now because the charity say the children is saying that 2 of its staff members are missing and me and mom after that.

it is very likely that we will see a future restrictions here in the u. k. as a result of the rate of spread, i, i can't see it being blunted by boosters just because of how many we would need to deliver in a very short amount of time has been on the sea earthquake, coff, indonesia, the magnitude 7.6. quite frigate tsunami warnings in areas within a 1000 kilometer radius. it happened all floris island in the east of the country. trauma was shallow. us secretary of state anthony blink and says the indo pacific region needs to be free of coercion, lincoln as in indonesia, on the 1st leg of a tour of southeast asia. washington is trying to count to china's influence in the region, a standoff between beijing and other countries in the resource rich south china sea has gotten more tents in recent years. because we all have a stake in ensuring that the world's most dynamic region is free from coercion and accessible to all. that's why there's so much concern from northeast asia, the southeast asia, from the meek, on river, the pacific islands about asians aggressi

it's something which i take great pride in here in the u. k, with a total society. and john's absolutely right. there is only one law in this country . that's the u. k. law, we all respected, we'll formulate and we continue to support that. no, but within the confines of law, the freedom to talk to show faith and i think that should be preserved. and i don't generally clue that totally. you should be able to practice your faith. you yourself said the muslim community, he's splits on this. the jewish community is as well. mohammed if there was a pole to morrow, well, both sides could put forward the position, you know, as well as i do, that the overwhelming majority would ban this, because each crew you are slitting the throats of animals without pre stunning them . you all welcome to religion. i like the fact where multiethnic and multicultural in our country. i respect your religion. i don't believe in it, but i respect it just dog. i respect the jewish. i don't agree with anti semitism more people being anti muslim, but i'm afraid this particular tradition is out

minister sanchez and says that because of a i vaccination right here in spain, the current measures are, are sufficient. okay, well meanwhile in the u. k, the government has promised no new restrictions. charlotte, what is the situation like in the u. k. right here in england, no new restrictions are set to be announced this week making this festive period very different to last year when millions were essentially told christmas was cancelled no restrictions coming into play here. but in scotland while northern island, they're all expecting more restrictions to come in after the christmas period. now, prime minister boris johnston says he's been weighing up the severity of the all micron very, and he's very much relying on the booster program here. it's really has been rum top over the last couple of weeks, given we know the efficacy of boost is against the on the crone very and, but this is all set against the backdrop of an abstract, tidal wave of cases at the moment. the last 2 days have seen over a 100000 new cases in the u. k. that's the highest number of confirmed cases since my testing began since the start of the pandemic. so t

it is very likely that we will see a future restrictions here in the u. k. as a result of the rate of spread, i can't see it being blunted by boosters just because of how many we would need to deliver in a very short amount of time. the astronomy in state of queensland has reopened its internal borders to the rest of the country for those who are fully vaccinated. as we are hot reports, the state of lashley shut itself off for 5 months at home. finally, for the holidays, pure joy for these loved ones as they re unite in the state of queensland in australia after having been separated because of the pandemic. welcome. hi, miss harris. this is miss my son and daughter. know you had been england for 5 years and i was planning to get married in 2020, and grace we were all going, but of course we couldn't do that. so they got married in september this year. and we now welcome home after foggy. so we thought you saw it, but not every one is so lucky. unlike domestic travelers, international travelers into the state of queensland will still require 2 weeks of quara

it is very likely that we will see a future restrictions here in the u. k. as a result of the rate of spread, i, i can't see it being blunted by boosters just because of how many we would need to deliver in a very short amount of time. turning some breaking news, coming out of indonesian, our toonami warning has been declared after an earthquake with a magnitude of 7.6. the quite happened. undersea of flores island official say the trema was shallow thing. you more details on that? soon as we get the, the us secretary of state entity, blink and says the in the pacific region needs to be free of coercion. lincoln is in indonesia, on the 1st leg of a tour of southeast asia. washington is trying to count that china's influence in the region a stand off between beijing and other countries and the results rich south china sea has gotten more hence in recent years. we all have a stake in ensuring that the world's most dynamic region is free from portion and accessible to all. that's why there's so much concern from ne, a to the southeast asia. and from the con riv

u. k. boost to program in here in england. they promised to offer every adults that boost a job by the end of the year time, clearly running out that they have massively stepped up the number of jobs that are being given a almost a 1000000 on tuesday we're given and it's not that the u. k. government is redefining its heights on 32nd. charlotte. so how challenging time is this for people in the u. k. very challenging. i think the staff shortages is the biggest concern at the moment, particularly in hospitals emergency services, as well as we know just a couple of days till christmas, people here in the u. k. and around the world facing some very difficult decisions on how they best buy, celebrate christmas and protect their loved ones. return times and do, did every correspondence or charlottesville, simple reporting from london. thank you very much. like to tell you now, but the other stories in the headlines around the world, china has long down the city. if she on home, 13000000 people in response to just over 200 coven 19

u. k is working better and then we look at hospitalizations as sammy was referring to. these are, we can't compare like for like here. these are just cumulative cases. but what you see is that really for the last year the u. k. has been bringing its number of hospitalizations down and its kept it quite low. whereas the united states over the summer was peaking there with its hospitalizations. and again, it's coming up now almost to those similar levels, excuse my, her rather squiggly drawings there, but it shows you the trend, doesn't it hospitalizations going up in a place where they're event, not as much vaccinations. and some we like the u. k, which is getting record numbers, but is keeping its hospitalization numbers low. so i think sammy and your guests will have a much more extra time. you know, we need to take this, this precise point. now. exactly. i, sam shows and it's the hospitalizations we need to watch to figure out how bad is on the chron really. all right, fantastic stuff. they're come all thanks. i was given us some more to talk about with professor annalise of versa alleys given what c'mon has just

i think here in the u. k, you'll see something in january, but we won't do it if it's fine to interrupt the capitalistic christmas season that people want. so a lot of this is based upon, if you look at universities, for instance, continuing to bring in students into areas and mandating. not that staff are vaccinated for instance, but that staff teaching areas that are crowded with students who are coughing, sometimes wearing masks. sometimes not a lot of this is because we're all living on economic bubbles that are just ready to burst. and that's, this could have been an opportunity for us to have those conversations. but are you worried where this is going to to lead it's a tire and stream, isn't it? you know, leaders making their citizens to what they're telling them. yeah, i mean, i have to be honest i, i kind of sometimes feel now 2 years into this that were being kind of led astray. not, not necessarily that the vaccines are right or wrong, but the idea that i just don't know that i have a lot of trust

with simon clark and associate professor in cellular microbiology at the university of reading here in the u. k. he joins us now. so thank you so much for joining us here on al jazeera, a lot of interesting studies have come out of america now. it's only been a month, as we've been saying, since it was 1st identified in south africa for a long time. we just didn't have the data, it seems now that a picture is emerging, a must a much more infectious, a variant, but perhaps a less deadly one. i. yeah. the, the data from the u. k is fairly small scale. it's only from infections younger people. so have to remember that caveat as well, but it's showing us initially at least a reduction in risk of going hospital of 50 percent, all the way down to half 2 thirds. but unfortunately, if you look at the numbers and you compare where we are today yesterday we were on the same days. now sir, we have 3 times as many infections and probably an awful lot more, which are, are very, very mild, are a soon to magic. so we could well end up with a situation where off dropping inability to cool seas is pulled the ot

the numbers have dramatically gone off over the last week, 2 weeks as well here in the u. k. that really is what the government here is, is putting it on this coming. of course, just before christmas, these huge numbers. what does this search mean for people in the u. k? as many of them gathering you say there are no going to be no more restrictions pre christmas. but what does it mean for people who want to meet with their families? i think 1st off, the really, really big concern at the moment his staff, shortages potentially and emergency services in hospital for example, by reporting stop shortages as people are isolating with co it. and just because of the sheer numbers of people inspected, that could cause real problems using problems and businesses as well. even though there are, as we said, no additional restrictions right now, a lot of people are making their own choices in how to handle this and just finding the limit contacts and limit their risk and run up to christmas. the business is very badly affected and then of course the public making very difficult decisions

u. k. but in france and it's reflected really across the continent, isn't it? absolutely. we thought here in the u. k. that a 129000 cases reported on tuesday. a record here. that was pretty extraordinary until france reported it's $290000.00 infections on wednesday. absolutely. i watering these numbers that are likely, i think in the next few days to continue to rise as we take stock continue to take stock of the christmas and new year holiday period. but in the meantime, records being broken all over europe national records. that is not just france, but italy, greece, portugal cypress molto. the list goes on. you've got the dutch of the swiss, who is saying today that all micro has now become the dominant, buried in those countries. germany says it will do in the coming days. the fins and the swedes have added to the long list of countries in posing new restrictions as the surge of alma chrome goes on. but you know, in the midst of all of that, some of the, she had numbers of people all for the sick or quarantine because mike was talking about that. the company's demanding changed. more

u. k. it's all not here nor edinburgh caught a 4 or belfast box. the difference in restrictions across the u. k. means that in england at least, you can still go out and party. you can gather together in pubs, restaurants, nightclubs, whatever. i'm celebrate, if you want. most people though, i think you're taking it easy to stay inside and in other parts of the u. k, scotland, wales, and northern ireland. the restrictions there mean that it's even more reduced. so nightclubs are closed in those parts of the u. k. big limitations on the number of people who can actually gather together. a told so much that they're all worries. i think in some parts that there's going to be an influx of people from scotland, wales, etc. into england to come down here and party and people me health officials, a warning against that saying that if you want to stay healthy and co cobra free best to stay inside this year and keep caution rory, i'm not sure how long we bought you live for but if you're out there new year's eve, i hope you find a hot chocolate or something.

u. k. and europe. london remains the at the center here in the u. k. with more than 122000 new infections recorded in one day, while frances cost a 100000 cases in the day for the 1st time. we want time to me and mom now because the charity save the children is saying that 2 of its staff members are missing and me and my officer that vehicle was set on fire. the remains of more than 2 dozen other people were found and burned out. cause in kaya state region bordering thailand, is seen more than a week of intense fighting between me and my army and the qur'an national union or about and mom lee has more. these fighters from the current national defense organisation, or k n d o. it's one of 2 ethnic fighting groups operating on the border between thailand, amanda, and for the past week, it's been involved in fierce fighting with government forces. made a general note, ivonya is leading his units on patrol near the current state health post to strengthening unified local courses. i think the main reason they're dropping bombs at night is to terrorize the p

u. k. in the us. i really doubt that, and that's the problem here. because even when you have really compelling evidence that assurances cannot be trusted, that the u. s. is not abiding by the rules. you know, they want a song to abide by the law. they want mendoza to abide by the law, but they are not abiding by the law themselves. but even when you have very iron clad evidence, your very compelling evidence. can you trust that the course will do the right thing? i hope so. i really hope so. but, you know, there is precedent that this case has been cited to block and extradition. and i very much hope that the u. k. course would also see this evidence and be convinced that you cannot trust these assurances. and therefore, block saunders extradition because eventually it will be in the hands of the secretary of state. so meaning protect patel. teresa may block the gallery, mckennan extradition. you got very lucky but will pretty patel do that for julian, it's orange. if there's no more, you know, there's no alternative avenues and it's ultimately in he

rises and they're seeing only chrome become the dominant cause of the infections as it, as it is here in the u. k. and before long, it will account for the vast majority of the diagnoses we're making. what is the appropriate response when there is this slight delay in receiving the data? and particularly when you look at the, the rate at which this very interest spreading. can we be sure, i mean, testing capacity can't keep up with the spread. well, that the testing past is pretty good. i mean, if you think a year and a half ago, we were struggling to do numbers of testing that thousands. now we're doing numbers of tests in the millions, but really we, we treat patients not numbers in the health service, and it's really important that we don't focus so much on the cases as on the consequences. and this is the big unknown. this remains the elephant in the room. it's what we don't know is going to happen. and this is the big question. will those people who catch this translate into severe disease? and if so, what fraction of them will that happen to? or will the vaccine status we already have and t

and so as we enter this holiday period here in the u. k, it is going to be an enormous challenge to meet the, that the expectations and ambitions of the prime minister. but that said, the, any chess has been going to try and i'm standing outside guys, hospital where people have been here since 7 o'clock this morning. i'm going to quickly step out the way. so richard, the camera man can look around. people are literally queueing out of the gates of this hospital in order to wait for their booster jobs. there are well as couple of 100 people at least here. there is another tent on the opposite side of this building on the, on the far side of this building where there are more a booster jobs being administered. in fact, that's where i got my booster jap. earlier on this month at people here, i can tell you from experience are going to be waiting at least an hour. i'm but they are willing to do so because of the urgency of the situation. and as the prime minister said, in that same address he gave on sunday night, even if alma cron doesn't lea

u. k. at 1st of all these graphs i'll show you are a 4 month snapshot from august starting. so this whole period here the u. k. was looking at sort of $35.00 to $45000.00 cases a day. now, in the realms of $75000.00 a day plus in the united states will ever doing quite well. it's definitely a downward trajectory from that high of 100. $60000.00 plus in september. now, this point round a 130000 cases a day. this is a 7 day rolling average i should point out as well. and south africa just wanted to show you as well for a global picture where all the current was 1st detected, of course, this whole period. look at that october and november. we're only talking about 200 cases a day up here easily in excess of 20000 cases a day. so that's a little snapshot from around a few countries here now from the head of the world health organization. all of ours are seek of this bunda me. all of us want to spend time with friends and family. all of us want to get back to normal. the fastest way to do this is for all of us leaders and individuals to make the difficult decisions that must be made to protect ourselves a

so let's bring a question here that i think perhaps a lot of people in the u. k may not be aware of, but the u. k is now directly involved in ukraine according to the u. k. government london is helping ukraine strengthen its military abilities through operation orbital, under which the u. k. get this pull. the u. k has trained over 21000 members of the ukranian army. is this in britain's best interest? no, it's insane. is absolutely insane. it's provocative. this is the point, i mean, there's lots of posturing going on here and we need to get beyond that because this is a very, very dangerous situation. but as i said earlier, they need to get on the table getting to discuss this, the british government should step back to me. i've had nonsense, a miss country recently on radio programs. and on t v dot, we could be entering a sort of new crime. you will be, it's crazy. we need to step back because the older doing is endangered wells. and of course, our ne not are trying to come out. some back shows. proposals are all certainly rational russians rushes, resistance

here in the u. k. that really is what the government here is, is pending its hopes on this coming. of course, just before christmas, these huge numbers. what does this search mean for people in the u. k? as many of them gathering you say, there are not going to be no more restrictions for christmas. but what does it mean for people who want to meet with their families? i think fast of the really, really big concern at the moment his staff, shortages potentially and emergency services in hospital for example, by reporting stop shortages as people are isolating with co it. and just because of the sheer numbers of people inspects that, that could cause real problems using problems and businesses as well. even though there are, as we've said, no additional restrictions right now, a lot of people are making their own choices in how to handle this. and just putting the limit contacts and limit their risk and they run up to christmas. they business is very badly affected. and then of course, the public making very difficult decisions out since the case around the world at the moment about

this is a new daily high for the country, or here in the u. k. another record number of infections was reported on friday. it more than a $189000.00. a prime minister orest johnson has not been new years eve celebrations in england. instead, encouraging people to take a coven test, and to get vaccinated. the people who think the disease can't hurt the look at the people going into hospital. now. that could be you look at the intensive care units and the miserable legally suffering of those who did not get that booster. that could be you. so making your new year's resolution far easier than losing weight or keeping your diary. falling a walk in center or make an online appointment. get that job a do something that will make 2022. a happy new year. russell has been reco numbers of infections again in the us, nearly 650000 people tested positive. while in all the cities in france including the capital powers, mosques are now mandatory outside in india. daily infections of more than doubled in the past week. more than 16000 new cases reported on frid

u. k. the country where these proceedings have been taking place. the precedent that is being said here is alarming. if the u. s. successful in extra reading and prosecuting joanna songs, we could see the very media partners that have published information based on these liter documents targeted. not the too often news organizations take. their editorial leads from politicians that has created another gaping hole in the narrative around julian. they don't think a lot of the care storm or heads the labor for the official opposition in the british parliament, leading figures in his party, reacted to the latest court ruling with 5 star mer is a lawyer who used to head the case crown prosecution. so, back in 2012, when prosecutors in sweden were considering dropping their bogus sexual assault investigation into songs, british prosecutors working understood armor lobbied against that part. they sent an e mail to stucco, saying don't you dare get cold feet? the swedes ended up dropping the case anyway. but british thumbs had tried to tip the scales of swedish justice on here stormers watch. d

u. k. and the u. s. government secrets he helped expose our starting point this week. here's what i need. friday, december 10th, 2001 day a high court in london ruled the julian astonished, could be expedited to washing happened to united nations human rights. it was the same day, 2 other journalists were receiving them, nobel prize diplomacy. it was also the vital ministration posted more than $100.00 global leaders and what it called summit for democracy in terms of the international media cycle. it was a day where focus on journalism would very much been on the nobel peace prize, because of course, 2 journalists were receiving the nobel that day, maria, philippines, and dmitri morocco from russia, and also on the us where the biden administration was concluding its big summit for democracy, we've shown a spotlight on the importance of protecting media freedom from around the world to discuss issues related to human rights including media freedom. the court decision came on the day when statements were made by the buyers not instruction in support of press freedom as being the a prerequ

and the notable difference here is that the u. k. isn't a part of the you anymore. and in those same conditions then don't apply. alright, well, how's the u. k responding to all of this, them, they're quite, they're not happy about it. of course, for us, johnson has and said outright that he doesn't think that it's a fair decision. and many conservative politicians are also arguing that it may be a political move. it does follow of weeks of political attentions between the 2 countries over things like prospects that fishing rates and migration or the channel. but on the other hand, if you just look at the numbers a lot, i mean the u. k reported 93000 cases on friday. so you could argue with that speak for itself. all right, we'll leave it there. d. w 's. how normal, thanks for bringing us all that information. france is not the only country in europe bracing for a new wave of infections across the continent. governments are introducing restrictions such as limiting opening times for popes and venues. vaccinating children is another measure. authorities are taking to

u. k. thanks have been here on the news, our doctor moga. how did we get to a place where vaccines are expiring before they're being administered? is this an issue with the logistics surrounding distribution? it's it, well, if you get a new reporter said, you know, the vaccines were giving to lead jerry until other countries was very short, expire a day. so you give them to the country with so ex expired they. that is just not enough time to deliver the vaccine. so rural areas of religious, you're not enough time for the transport house workers and all the logistics that surround vaccines to, to work but sees them not just the wild, you know of the vaccine. this is the vaccine, the syringe is the transport, the health workers, the, you know, the, the movement, the cool chain between when arrives of the airport to until it goes to where it's actually going to be given to people. so you need the time and all this year, what happens in africa, particularly is african governments didn't know in good time, how many vaccines they're going to get.

u. k. authorities also announcing huge record numbers for the u. k. huge numbers seem to be reflected across the continent as natasha said from france as well. yeah, well those numbers reported here on tuesday seemed pretty extraordinary. a 129000 new infections in the you count tuesday. we haven't the wednesday figure yet. but of course, that figured itself dwarfed by the french numbers 209000 reported on wednesday. and i think you can probably assume that these numbers are going to continue to go up as we continue to take stock of the christmas and new year period of records being set, as you say, all over europe. france of course, is emily greece, portugal side for small to all setting infection rate records. the swiss of the dutch say that on the call is now the dominant strain. their germany says it will be in just a few days time. finland, even sweden, adding to the list of countries piling on the restrictions to try and deal with this thing. but, you know, in the midst of all of this, in the midst of these high rates in the midst of new measures being introduced, that does seem to be a real shift in thinking among these countries, not least the w h o as well away from the

here in the u. k. infections and our doubling every 2 days, whole band and reports from london. in europe, the jobs are going into people's arms as fast as they can be unpacked. more than half a 1000000 booster shots were administered in the u. k. in just one day, fall short of the 1000000 a day, the government's aiming for. but the race to reinforce immunity is gathering pace. it's the extraordinary infectiousness of the on the con variant though, which is really worrying global scientists and health experts we have learned by now that we underestimate this bio set out period even if or me cron does cause less cbs, this is the sheer number of cases could once again overwhelm unprepared. health systems in the u. k, on the con cases are now doubling every 2 days. and with more than 200000 possibly infected every day, the number could pass a 1000000 within a week, long queues again at vaccinations, centers up and down the u. k. as the government's brewster jap program continues apace. with the dilemma facing the politicians on that side of the river is whether the jobs alone will
