the build up to the final and sports struggles on the spread of the army. kron variant steph curry helps to beat the code itself. while the nfl postpones games for the 1st time this season. ah, welcome to the new usa hoist in the u. k. where a record number of coven 19 cases have been recorded for 3rd day in a row, calls from across the political divide are growing louder for the british government to bring in more restrictions. 93000 infections or register on friday and case numbers nationwide increased by about 39 percent in just a week, which i know by neve parties in london news center and the really, as the holiday season looms large and the u. k is a now the thick of other get and other way the government is watching, i presume, a wondering what else they can really do without annoying the public even further. yes. so the government is really weighing up its options and is under a tremendous amount of pressure. firstly, to safeguard the economy of those that have been increasingly louder and louder, concerns coming from the hospitality sector about what new restrictions could mean for them. predictions of thousands of businesses going out of business business by, by the new year. on top of that though, we are seeing the figures of on the chrome rocket. it is the dominant strain here in the capital, and the only leading thing in the british government's arsenal is to ramp up. it's boost to drive, which is what we're seeing. this weekend's major stadium set at the home of chelsea, stanford bridge, wembley stadium will accommodate tens of thousands of people getting that boosters in those particular locations at 24 hour hub as opened in north london as well. but let's not forget, this isn't just simply about boosters. this is also about reaching people who haven't had any vaccines. the tool and the numbers are pretty staggering. according to saudi cars, the mayor of london, 1300000 people here in the capital have not had a single dose. and that's a similar story. and other major cities in birmingham, a 40 percent of under forty's, and certain parts of that city have not had a single dose. and each one of these people, it poses a potential risk of contracting the illness, getting serious c l, and impacting obviously on the services the hospitals can provide. one last point on this is that we're already seeing health services on the strain guys, hospital just down there. over my shoulder has reported that they are seriously short staffed as a result of doctors, nurses and other medics going off sick, having a drafting emergency help from other sexes of that's a national health services trust just to make up the numbers in crucial services like accident and emergency clinicals neve, across the continent, europe still has an ongoing delighted more restrictions coming in from various countries. that's absolutely right. so governments across europe all have an array of leavers in front of them when they're working out, which wants to pull either together on their own. they're in different countries, very in terms of how deep and how fast they want to go in introducing potential restrictions. but the same in france and germany and denmark, the numbers are going and the wrong direction. in portugal, by the end of the month, i believe the only criminal account for 80 percent of cases in spain. there are 500 cases, 400000, putting spain in the very high risk category. we know that the island has decided as a friday to introduce an 8 p m curfew. imagine a city like dublin going into the week before christmas, all of its bars and restaurants, 8 empty of people. and what is normally the busiest time of the year? we know that germany is also mulling the possibility of introducing restrictions on people traveling from the u. k from france and denmark into that country, possible 10 or 2 week quarantines for people traveling that we know of course the france introduced it's restrictions on people coming from the u. k. on friday came into force at 11 p. m. a massive rush of as people desperately trying to beat that deadline. decisions are being made of their very certainly not the easiest as it has to be made at this time of year for governments across europe. the fuck the forest law broadcast center in london. thank you. now, while all of this is going on in the you can your current virus cases and hospital admissions in the u. s. accelerating to now the number of infections is increased by 40 percent compared to last month, while the numbers in the hospital have risen by around 45 percent. many universities are going back to online teaching, and sports events have been canceled or postponed. experts predict the amok on variant will soon become the dominant strain that to mccann is increasing rapidly and we expect it to become the dominant strain in the united states as it has in other countries. in the coming weeks, we've seen cases of armor crown among those were about vaccinated and winston, and we believe these cases are milder or asymptomatic because of vaccine protection . unofficial does more from washington dc. well of course there was a big surgeon, vaccinations, just as the vaccination started to come on to the market. and america was very happy with the way things were going. but no, it's just less than 40 percent that aren't vaccinated here in the us that still quite a significant number. and if you break those figures down, you will find that most of the people who aren't vaccinated identify as republicans . so it really doesn't matter what joe biden or the white house says, there are a lot of people out in the united states who say, we're never going to listen to what this guy's got to see. even though he seeing this could actually save your life, and if you break down the figures even more, you will see that the number of people who are dying tend to be in read states. that is republican states. and the majority of those who are dying are republicans, and so that is a real worry no. add to that. the fact that we're coming in to the christmas and new year break. remember a month ago we were talking about thanksgiving. how is a big travel day or people we're going to big family gatherings? nothing compared to christmas and new year. in fact, from to night, people are going to start heading off on their christmas and new year vacations. and that is a real worry for the white house and for the health experts, because they believe that this will lead to a search, which of course then leads to increased hospitalizations, which means that joe biden isn't kicking the but of the, or macro variant anytime soon. thousands of soldiers and emergency personnel adjoining search and rescue efforts in the philippines after was hit by one of the strongest storms in the world. a sure these 12 people were killed as typhoon rifle to call southern and central regions on thursday and friday. hundreds of thousands of people have been false from their homes. the storm is not easing and has moved into the south china sea. jamila island dugan is in manila and says the level of devastation is only now becoming clearer. we are starting to be able to be in touch with our contacts on the ground. those who are in the province of city go, behold, province in later province. and the situation really is quite desperate people we've spoken to say they are in desperate need of water medicine shelter, you know, basic blankets and sleeping meds. many of the areas also have their hearts, but those partly damaged some of the patients. there are also in need of basic food medicine and supplies. but again, the major issue here is that the traveling point, the transport stops the airports and the ports of largely been destroyed. the winter national airport is non operational, same with other airport in city golf prob, and so a lot of the operations are moving eastward in the city. and this is where a lot of the recon flights are coming out. we've spoken also to the emergency response officials here or who are still trying to figure out exactly what the depth is. there are conflicting numbers coming out and they themselves admit that this is really the most critical part. getting this information very fine and making sure that help gets to those who need it most. but you know it's a communication and transportation issue at this point. now the level has been raised in indonesia, where volcano threatened to, up again, 48 people were killed earlier this month and 36 people remain missing on a mound. similar to everyone's being edge to avoid the danger zone on java island is expense report more activity, which could trigger an avalanche of lava and gas. morehead, here on the news, our including talking trade in turkey, leaders of several african state southern assembled to do business with president. one will be there live with more and we debate how to move from coal to clean energy in a world. so reliant on the black field. and we'll have all of the build up to the our final set to be last major run through before capital 2022 world. ah, let us policewoman has apologized in court for shooting a black man who's killing spunk. protests. kim potter says she accidentally find her gun instead of her taser. closing arguments in the trial in chicago are expected. on monday. john 100 reports the fate of kim potter white police officer accused in the racially charge killing of a black man will soon be in the hands of a jury. members of the jury in highly anticipated testimony in minneapolis, courtroom potter took the stand in her own defense, breaking down, saying she meant to pull out her taser. but the former police officer who was a 26 year veteran says she accidentally drew her gun instead and fired, killing 20 year old dante, right. as he drove away from police, it's just chaotic. and then i remember yelling, teaser taser taser and nothing happened. potter was supervising another officer when he pulled right over for offenses. she says probably did not merit a traffic stop. right had expired registration tags and an air freshener dangling from the rear view mirror. both technical violations that are often overlooked. an air freshener to me is not just an equipment violation. and during the cove at times of the high cove at times the departmental motor vehicles were so off line that people were getting tabs and we were advised not to try to enforce a lot of those things because the tabs, we're just not in circulation. then the stop went wrong, right? pulling away with an officer still dangling from his car. potter says the officer had a look of fear on his face and she wanted to save his life. potter is charged with 1st and 2nd degree manslaughter. legal experts say that the prosecution probably has to prove that she acted with some degree of consciousness. if the jury decides that she acted unconsciously and didn't know that she was using lethal force, that's probably not enough for a conviction. the shooting came when public interest in police killings of black men was at its peak in the midst of the racially charged trial of the white police officer who killed george floyd in neighboring minneapolis drawing protesters to the scene of the brooklyn center. shoot over and over in a tearful cross examination, potter who had never fired a weapon in an arrest. apologized, you are focused on what you had done because you had to tell somebody you knew the deadly force was unreasonable and unwarranted or anybody that's why you said, i'm going to go to print the i don't whether that happens and whether dante writes life ended in an unfortunate accident or a criminal act, a jury will decide. john henderson al jazeera chicago. united states says it is prepared to talk to russia about its demands to curb nato activity in eastern europe, russia, and outs rehearsals on friday, calling for a legally binding guarantee that nato would cease its military activity in eastern europe and central asia. the instruments concerned over russia's military build of at least $80000.00 soldiers, only ukrainian border that washington described some parts of the draft proposal acceptable awards. there will be massive consequences over any aggression on ukraine, as bringing to he's found she is the director at the center for russia, europe, and asia studies. she joins me now via skype from brussels. good to have you with us on out as aramis valid now. and a point plan of demands that's been handed to the us. what's your initial response to how the us will react to it? well, it's very important to keep in mind that this is in regard to nato's with the u. s . funds to work with its allies, but i think the 1st read of all of those who has been shocked these are massive, asked then that moscow, the colonel and once so many of them, of course, no one could agree to, for example, no, for the expansion, any countries that were included natal since 1997 when they don't have to ask yes would have to ask permission from the crew and to do any sort of activities. so i think that there are a lot of those lines there and that the u. s. has agreed to discuss some of these issues, but it is a big asked and it looked like a sphere influence again that that couldn't wants to put in place. yeah, i do appreciate the fact that it's guided it's sort of requested from the u. s. but the u. s. would obviously go to nato, but everybody looks to you at the u. s. a guidance really on all of this. and so therefore, what one does it as sort of an after russia sort of invaded an annex ukrainian territory. it's demanding nato withdrawal, or else, i mean, nato isn't ukraine in terms of an uncertain countries are in terms of supporting and training ukrainian personnel. it's just a complete red line for the russians. and what one does, how nato is going to react to that particular part of the, the request. well, yes, just completed the summit. this kind of might give you a barometer of how some of the europeans, not all you member states are members of nato. but they said that there will be sanctions if russia continues to increase military committee in ukraine. so there are a lot of tensions. it's quite interesting the timing of all of this because put in has, who are coming to the 30th anniversary of the demise of the soviet union. so be december 25th and it seems i couldn't put a lot of things, you know, lining up all those ducks. he has a machine that he, he publishes statement saying how he worked doesn't have driver in the aftermath of the class, the soviet union. so these anniversaries are very, very important to him, and it's almost laying out these incredible red lines that he knows nato and the u. s. cannot agree to, it's kind of beefing up his domestic support back back in russia and they did it before he part of the audience is the domestic audience. but i want to miss fall of how much of this is about testing the water, not just with the u. s. but with nato. there's a huge list of very important demands as far as moscow is concerned. surely he knows he's not going to get all of them. and it's also interesting because we have the new german government and the angel of miracles rush in. she was on a telephone often with puts and she's gone now. and so we have a new chancellor. all of the shows, and it's almost says in the waters to see how germany will respond to this as well . because france, germany in italy, are bit skeptical about kind of more sanctions on, on russia, in regards to ukraine because they're interested in continuing good business deals . with the russians, and in a nurturing to gas pipeline, which is a big part of all of this and the u. s. wanted sanction, perhaps once it's sanctioned, in order to punish russia. she who did has been so clever using his economic leverage. now gas prices are increasing dramatically in europe, so there's no appetite to sanction of the russians in regards to gas and ukraine. so she, president putin has really moved maneuvered himself into a very interesting position right now. it is interesting position because it's also jigsaw puzzles that sort of surround the whole ukrainian issue. but then it's very starkly president. putin is also saying that we're very close to a similar situation as well as between, for example, the u. s. and russia, when it came to the cuban missile crisis of 1962. and this old to do, of course, obviously without military build up, the nato a is helping ukraine wave. i mean, all we at that stage yet, if we want to zoom out even further, we had the she put in meeting. and so both of them that they would reinforce each other's positions. she didn't pick and said he would reinforce, put his position on the ukraine and put in said he would support. she took things position in regards to taiwan. so this has huge geopolitical ramifications. everyone's watching closely on, you know, how the u. s. how the west responds to put in saber rattling in regard to ukraine. you shall see what happens, a choice of helena joining us from the central russia, europe, and asia studies. thank you. thank you. that the human rights council has overwritten objections from ethiopia to launch an international investigation into potential war crimes. investigate to say they receive credible reports at all sides or committing violations in the year long offensive against to grind rebels. more than a 1000000 people have escaped heavy fighting with reports of mass killings, rape, and other atrocities. the estimates are shocking. according to information at our disposal, from november 2020, to june 2021. over 2200 survivors reported sexual and gender based violence to health facilities across the gray region. one of the one stop centers reported that the victims in over 90 percent of cases were miners and estimated that visit's to the center had quadrupled since the complete iraq a year ago. it is important to keep in mind that this figures are most probably an underestimation of the true extent of the sexual and gender baselines being perpetrated. if you're because government says it won't cooperate with the investigation and accused the human body of being used as an instrument of political pressure. we hold our own household members though who fund brezza bill stand against, short sighted in those and that he feels police as if you know, human rights by the getting these, these are you. i will leg buoy, tell you that my government will not operate with anyone. can assume that maybe in good or he the current wave of undocumented migrants in chile is one of the key issues that could determine the outcome of
