so it is multi month multiple approach that is needed on we crohn is may be a little bit vaccine, evasive. however, what the boost is do is produce a large amount of those antibodies, also a slightly more diverse range of antibodies. and therefore, we can say that that booster works against delta as well as against omicron because we have more of it and a slightly below broader range of the antibodies, the world health organization and the world bank. so the cost of health care pushed more than half a $1000000000.00 people into extreme poverty at the heights of the pandemic. the w h o wants governments to speed up efforts to make healthcare accessible to everyone . it's encouraging introduction of universal health coverage. you foreign ministers are meeting in brussels with russia and china set to top the agenda. the foreign policy chief, joseph burrell, is joining the $27.00 foreign ministers. they've got plenty to discuss before thursdays, e u, leaders, summits, including possible sanctions on russia. and whether the you should join a diplomatic boycotts of the winter olympics in china. russia's warning of a confrontation if the u. s. and nato can't guarantee they won't put weapons close to its territory. the russian deputy foreign minister gave the warning after demand from president vladimir putin free legally binding guarantee that nita wont expand its presence further to the east neighbouring ukraine wants to become a native member. moscow is worried that would mean alliance forces could be moved there. natalie bennett has now become the 1st is really prime minister to make an official visit to the united arab emirates. he's meeting crime, prince mohammed bins. i had to discuss deepening ties and economic and regional issues. the established formal diplomatic ties with israel last year. people in the northern ethiopian town of labella say to grind rebels have recaptured the region just 2 weeks after government forces had taken control. the to grind people's liberation from says it's launch several counter offensive. it's targeting the road linking sheena and labella. in the region of m, horror. communications have been cut in the conflict zone. that made it hard to verify reports from labella, which is home to a u. n. world heritage site. there are no reports of any fighting. now is considered one of the most important wetlands in the world, doing yana national park in the science of spain is a unesco world heritage sites and the refuge for migrating birds and endangered animals. but as natasha could them reports, the park is suffering from years of water theft by farmers and now a drought with every season. different during yeah, not emerges. spain's 57 year old national park is nature's tablo of wetlands beaches dunes and pine forest ecosystems scientists called the wetlands one of the most important on the planet. yet these days it's the dry season year round at this unesco world heritage site. you can see that they just nothing an integral to state now because they know what the so old a species of finding my son can visit those which should be a perfect fit. and he said at half or so it thrown him here. they are in children, 3000 seasonal pods, used to dot the wetlands to day. there are less than $100.00. the world wildlife fund or w w f says, this park is surrounded by 1600 hector's of illegal strawberry blueberry and raspberry farms. the farmers don't have a permit to use water from an aqua for, to irrigate their berries, to preserve the ecosystem. the w w f says the water theft must end, and farmers, residents, and tourists need to conserve water. 10 years of lower than average rainfall and a drought declared last month, had exacerbated the water shortage. the farmers union in the province says barry farming provides 102000 jobs and instead of blaming them for streaming water resources, the government should complete a project to divert water from another basin. fitting the 2nd time will come follow, but will it? yeah. like which i to load on the dental on you. we're fed up with the way we've been portrayed over many years. we've been dedicating our lives to this if we want to leave something here so that this is completely compatible and so that our children can carry on. doing this to restrict water use, the spanish government sealed illegal wells and purchase farm land around diana national park. we to go together with the farmer, improved them by the mental condition, a super pro i knew ship if to reduce wasn't consumption because at the m. f though yanna are in good health, the sauce important for pharmacy in the future. for generations, the people and the park have co existed. if the future means less water, life may change for both. for the worst. natasha game, l. g 0. well, the province, spain palestinians are turning to renewable energy sources and a bit to get her on tight is really restrictions. palestinians don't have access to or control over the majority of lands in the occupied west bank. and now some are trying to install solar panels as need to abraham. now reports, this is the largest power plant in the occupied bank. it has 20000 solar panels and is now generating electricity for 3 palestinian institutions, including this hospital and ramallah. before switching to solar energy hospital manager save a paid $1000000.00 a year in electricity bills for the past 2 years. that electricity has been free of charge for dr. henley, but up in the solar panels are covering all of our needs over the tricity as a hospital. it's part of our social responsibility to use in the tricity that we're generating and, and reduced out dependency on israel and 90 percent of the electricity used in the occupied west bank is bought from israel. the rust comes from jordan and through renewable energy sources. the local ballast indian initiative aims to install more solar panels in the west bank to increase reliance on green energy from 6 percent to 70 percent. what is really restrictions are complicating this process. israel prevents palestinians from developing the majority of land in the west bank, installing solar panels and school rooftop was one way around it. with access to lands is not the only issue, even when electricity is generated, it's not easy to transmitted from one location to another fella stand on the operates on low, low voltage and medium voltage grids. we don't have any transmission network that would enable us to do large scale projects. so we had to size this project, both in terms of availability of land and the capacity of the grid to carry and evacuate the power produced here. tens of thousands of past indians live off the grid. international organizations provided them with solar panels. now they are the only source of power. it's hardly enough to generate electricity for basic needs and only operates during sunlight. even though the electrical grid is meters away, better when communities here cannot benefit from it. it's part of the israeli electricity network and serve the league. it is really supplements in the area. the palestinian energy authority says investment in solar energy is relatively new and still way down by bureaucracy. there is a gap of coordination between these institutions that's been established in the law that slowing down the process and the create kind of bureaucratic procedures in a place where the sun shines more than 320 days a year. solar panels could solve the electricity problem, but it is the israeli occupation that's preventing the palestinian goals of energy, self reliance, madana him al jazeera, be occupied by bank. still ahead on al jazeera, all the sports with foreign. yes, we're live from our special studio here on the go. how waterfront with the latest sports coming up in a few moments. there's plenty of controversy after max for stopping one his 1st ever world championship in abu dhabi. we'll discuss all the follow to in just a few minutes. ah. with with mm whole ah. a thanks for your company. we're live from our special studio on the doe. how waterfront? hello, i'm far, it's small, plenty of sport coming up, including mercedes in time to appeal. match for stop is f one well title after he clenched victory and abu dhabi and we talked to a former international coach. she was in charge at 5 consecutive world cops about his expectations for catherine 2022. let's start with f one and red bull say they'll fight any court orders lodged by mercedes after max for snap and claimed his 1st world championship with hamilton's team had to appeal dismissed by the stewards after 1st stop in one in abu dhabi. a champion decider came down to the final lap of the race, and there was plenty of controversy after the checkered flag was waved. haul reese reports. ah, as dusk fell in abu dhabi, there was hope of a new dawn for red bull, max for stopping on pole head of the mercedes of louis hamilton, who started 2nd but seconds into the race, the reigning champion was in front, was stopping on the faster tires but sla, out of the blocks, if both crushed a stop and would be champion and straight away he nearly was an aggressive overtake from for stopping with sending hamilton into a short cut and back into the lead. ah, hamilton had a brief jewel with with stop and t might. sergio paris ah, soon recommended his mexican standoff with the stopping. with hamilton cruising and just 5 laps to go. nicholas, let's see, fees crash brought out the safety car. the stop and took the soft option, a new set of tires, in case it came down to a sprint. and it did oil weight getting these recalls out the way and just keep it both because christian just keep me a 2nd. as the authorities made one rule about the restart and overruled themselves with another, allowed ver stop and to catch up and deny hamilton a record 8th won't title in the list of circumstances. ah, it's certainly the wall, i mean just always kept fighting. and then of course, that opportunity in the law. so it's incredible until i haven't had club whether it's, it's insane. we gave it everything. they said that last part of the season we gave it absolutely everything. and we never gave out in this most important thing. the arguments continue to rage between the teams on the race director, but one man was above the bickering max for stopping formula one world champion of the season. that was never over until it was over. pull, reese, al jazeera ordones now lie from abu dhabi as chris madeleine. he is a correspondent for motor sports in new service racer. i press what are your expectations with a mercedes appeal? do they have legitimate grounds to complain? well, they certainly have areas. they can argue the same, some areas that were arguing last night with their original protests, but the students at the time made their own interpretation and rose and decided that no protest, one admissible, but then you do have the power to appeal those decisions. so yet the way the rules are written, it looks like a the know cards should have been allowed to get out the way to the final laugh and it should have been created. but you had to hamilton them together on track the phone a lot. all the cars you to go out of the way, but it's not the way it's completely clearly worded in the regulations. the gray area for both teams log you to try and secure this. and the real painful part about it. it's nothing to do with anything, either driver or he did. he did wrong. the controversy comes from the rules applied correctly or not. so that's what we say to your asking and it will be tough for them to roll it because if i have so far already said no, we don't believe we did it wrong. and they kind of have to go against themselves. but mercedes will keep pushing because they feel about the rules, what applied fairly and correctly at the end of the rights allow the wreath director wanted this to be decided on the track. but his decisions are now being criticized. is that fair? in some ways it is fair because the rhetoric that needs to apply the regulations fairly and apply them as they have written because they are the regulations. so the team just studying and, and playing to is like the rules of that. again, the football, if, if you tell it that once in a box and that's one goal and then the referee says, actually i'm going to get the account to. that's not fair hearing. and that's where the question comes in. now it was admirable. what micro mossy the race director wants to do, he wanted to make sure the to drive it had the chance to fight fairly for the waiting on track problem. it just ended behind a safety car because that was potentially what was going to happen. he could have kept her out for another law because he couldn't the order out quick enough and that wasn't enough. honda or he could just not change your toe. and that would stop by contrary to take that we're down about his way, but not long to get louis that would have been very close between that hamilton at the end and, and made it out if i did favor hamilton to. so it was not perfect nor if anyone involved, but the way it was applied. and suddenly i get into sadie's and i said it wasn't a fair way of restarting the race. and how did it advantage directly which rebel took unfairly took in the sense that they were given out to him to stop and drug didn't need to take your time. okay, well i think this isn't quite over yet. chris madeleine, thank you so much for your time. thank you. the we're just days away from the semi finals of the fee for our copier. indo tournaments is being used as a test for organizers ahead of next year's world cub. it's the 1st time it will be played in the middle east and air countries will be hoping home field advantage or produce a breakout tournaments for teams from the region and richardson reports. i . firms in familiar surroundings following players in a country and culture, they know next years will cup and cattle is unique chance the arab teams to feel at home on footballs. biggest stage here in properties, pick them up. there's lots of different julian. that's right, that's right. so i think that to give the players like being over the years, we have the hallmark brands. it's kind of me to have to convey the hope. all of them will be present. the next year i woke up, now they open for them that they do much for the host will go. this is a great book entity for them to practice and make sure that the audi next a record full arab teams were at the 2018 finals in russia, but none made it out of the group. and no, our team has ever reached a world cub court to final, this time around though it will be less of a step into the unknown. the are familiar with the, with the rain. and no matter what. i mean, there is a little bit of a psychological home field advantage are also having the government. i mean, like logically, they're always talking about in business, you know, and they're going to help a lot of the players envision hopefully not only choice before the tournament, being held outside of the americas or europe in 2002 south career and japan co did the well cut both themes minded out of that group in south korea got as far as the semi finals. and when the event went to africa for the 1st time in 2010, gonna go within a penalty kick at the last 4. kids so have never previously plated a world cup of the oration champions and have competed as a guest team and a series of continental tournaments to prepare for the challenge. ahead. having followed the national team for a long time, no more than a decade. i think the mentality of the team is team. they're ready to take on challenges. they're ready to face any team. and even if they've had some bad results over the last 2 years, i think the concord, the fact that they're ready and on the day they can perform against any t it's nearly time for our footballs. finest ones, the call of a world cup. it will look and sound like no other me. andy richardson, al jazeera, of more in the story, were joined in the studio by war and milly, 10 of it, she touched 5 different countries in 5 consecutive world caps. first of all, that's amazing. thank you so much for joining us now. no arab countries got past the group stages in russia. having watched the arab car, do you think that's going to change next year?
