u. k. though. daily infections of exceeded a $100000.00 for the 1st time. the past they days have seen britain's highest numbers of new cases since the start of the pandemic. but 8000 people are currently hospital with the virus which is lower than during previous waves. the un security council is applying a sanctions exemption to afghanistan to get humanitarian aid to the millions in desperate need. governments and agencies can now send the money and goods to the country for the 1st time since the taliban to power rescue teams have been searching for at least 70 missing people in myanmar after a landslide, at a mine it hit while workers were digging for jade a northern catching state when they were swept into a lake. so far, one person has been confirmed dead. the area is the center of the and mars secretive jade industry. or minor is often work in dangerous conditions, landslides, of course, hundreds of deaths in recent years. back to witness. now i have been use our for you and just under half an hour with no. do you still keep that resume to play with a

u. k though and elsewhere as well. re challenge now report you might get side effects how to do that if they may be christmas, but the u. k. is vaccine boost a program rolls on without a pause. this is portsmouth on england, south coast and jobs are being given to people who slipped between the cracks. i'm not opposed with, i'm not laughing. i said we need to get the town vaccinated to be able to come get actual avenue homeless that particularly the homeless. they're very vulnerable at this time of year to co. they sleep rough and they definitely need to be protected from some come by. despite christmas day, the 25th and boxing day, the 26th being holidays jobs are still being given. it's just this sort of public service that boris johnson thanked health workers and care as for and his christmas message. all those in the, in a chess where he over christmas, our co workers, everyone involved in the incredible vaccination campaign. those looking after people who have lost loved ones this year and who would otherwise be on the road. he said, been so many words, those getting vaccinated and

u. k, though, and then obviously what we heard bars johnson just say, what does all of that mean for new year's eve celebrations there? well, i think i depends on where you are in the 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. s

u. k. though nave barker is our correspondence in london today. and nave. how are authorities? they're coping with these rise in cases you've got to the balance as always how to protect the people, but also the economy. that is the critical balance and there's also a political balance that's being weighed into all of this as well. because boris johnson knows that if he rushes ahead, we knew restrictions. it could well lead to a rebellion within his own ranks. a conservative party m p 's that a furious about the possibility of new restrictions on the way a 100 of them rebelled only a few days ago against plans to introduce vaccine passes to allow people to attend large scale events portions and had to rely on opposition and peace for support. they're also a chorus of business leaders saying that a new restrictions would leave thousands of businesses largely in the hospitality sector. going bussed in the new year without financial support in place to help them. so the government is going ahead with the one thing that it is certain about in the certainty surrounding the vaccine pr

u. k. but even though there is some bipartisan support here in the u. s, do you think that there's enough support for a full ban on the practice? i think there is no support at all for the ban. i mean, if you look at it in the $200.00 to $20.00 election financial services firms contributed over $2000000000.00 to politicians. and most of those people are now currently serving on the house financial services committee. and you know, the financial services firms did it correctly, they gave about 47 percent to republicans and 53 percent to republican. so it has to go through these legislative hurdles. it's really going to be dead on arrival. i don't see any sort of support currently for any type of repeal on payment for order flow. and even if they did it, it would still have to go through the scc rule making process as well. so it's a, it's going to be a very long and difficult process to begin with. so i just don't see it happening at all. i am, sorry, miles, i just have to clarify something. you're telling me that big business in the united states donate

u. k. and barbados, though none the less would remain strong friends. but there are concerns here. some of the back story, the transition, the worry is, could encourage other members of the british commonwealth like astray, layer and jamaica jumped ship to around to farmer talked about it to a story. jennifer hocking, who continue, says it's that long over june fight for countries to gained full independence. it's tremendously significant. of course, this is really mocking. the final saver and solve plot walked before my colonial ties to britain. it's, you know, these aquatic story connections that remain with the colonizing power for a long time, even after independence has taken hold. sorry, it's taken that long, both full, the legal requirements, the constitutional issues to be worked through. and of course, to gain the popular momentum for a change like these, which does tight some generations for it to really tight hold for the population to support it. as indeed i had in right number in barbados. do you think other countries and are gonna follows suit him? what about estrella

and it's even worse for services though with the u. k. trade policy observatory saying that imports and exports of services to the you have dropped 37 percent. so one saving grace for johnson is that covered has obscured the full impact of bricks. it but, and it seems that britain's hadn't got what they were promised yet. okay. daniel winter, thank you very much. and just finally a you stocking up for the new year. there may be many things already on your shopping list. drinks snacks, party decorations. but how about a bit of luck to in mexico city. people are getting ready for 2022 with some help from local shamans. and also picking up a few lucky charms to the shop to say it's critical to get rid of all negative energy in time. the new year dr. a tumultuous 20. 21. you can blame that's all for me and the business team here in berlin from all from us to add to our website. d t v dot com slash business. you can find us on facebook to joe next time ticket. ah, he go india miles bully shrug is becoming a super plans hello to pay a startup

u. k. although for example, you can and are trained from the u. k to belgium. that's still possible though, there's also not very logical all these restrictions and austria is now taking the lead because austria is only letting people in who are boosted. you can only get there if you have 3 shots, if you're only vaccinated, you needed an additional test. and all other people have to quarantine and, and the netherlands are contemplating a full lockdown again and also a trevor, ben and germany also is considering out some areas in europe as high risk area. so you can go back without guaranteeing. and in the next days and weeks, we will see more countries fall into this pattern. so we are back to the sky we had last christmas, and everybody bought into to avoid that. but the, the new or micron vibrant is forcing governments to react. now clearly restrictions, therefore, from country to country, could there be a unified it would be an approach well blood, li speaking, there is no a european approach. there was a summit just last thursday here by the leaders and had the dire warnings on the tab

even though the u. k is facing a shortage of rapid answer. jan test is also urging people to get vaccinated as soon as possible. the people who think the disease can't hurt them. look at the people going into hospital now. that could be you look at the intensive care units and the miserable needless 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 a diary. find a walk in center or make an online appointment. get that job and do something that will make 2022. a happy new year for russell. and roy challenge has been reporting from london. what any normal new year's eve this embankment here in london will be absolutely rammed with people coming down to watch the big firework spectacular. well, for the 2nd year running, the public event has been cancelled. people are being urged to stay home or watch whatever does happen on tv. now, despite the fact that every day there seems we, new or infection, recalls being br

it seems as though the u. k. isn't really fully equipped or prepared to deal with or something like storm are when yes we've seen wind speeds reaching 98 miles per hour. snow in some areas just simply hasn't stopped falling. so it is a very difficult time for the north of the country, but it's almost taken areas like this one back to victorian times and leaving families totally in the dark. okay, well thank sir for updating their shandey. that was chatty edwards, dash reporting from the north of england on the after effects of that huge storm a few days ago. many people still with our power. thank now russia's federal security service says it's apprehended, 3 ukrainian agents who it says with a gathering sensitive information and planning terror attacks with moral not his don quota or russia federal security services say they've detained 3 ukrainian agents that were planning 3 different terrorist attacks. the suspects are a man, his son and another young man. and they were planning acts of terror on a radio tower
