's within his own routing, conservative party only a few days ago. a 100 m p 's rejected the government's plans to introduce covert passes for people attending large scale events or storms and how to rely on opposition and peace or support instead. so on top of that, they have also been a series of mounting concerns raised by a business leaders as well. you have said look, if you do introduce new restrictions, going into christmas. thousands of businesses could go bust by january. if there isn't a financial support in place to do that, we've gathered that the chancellor's exchequer re, she seemed like the finance minister is now on his way back from holiday in california for further talks of business lead as possibly talks about financial measures. a, if a decision to time restrictions goes ahead. so the only thing with any certainty, the british government can do is push ahead where these booster ro, loudon is. turbocharged up program. there are mass vaccination efforts taking place in football stadiums this weekend and chelsea's home ground of saturday, wembley stadium on sunday. there's a 24 hour vaccination center opened in north london. and people are being invited to come along and, and do their bits for the why to good. but we've also learned from the mayor of london, or study con, there are there as many as 1300000 people in the capital alone, that haven't had a single job. that translates as many millions more across the country. and it's those people that are also being targeted and they say, ag, this vaccination drive as well. and of course, is not just the british government that's facing this dilemma administrations across the european continent. i've got the same problem. that's right. and getting the balance rights is incredibly difficult for all these different governments across the european union. of course, they want to balance the health of their economies with public health as well, but leave is already starting to be pulled in islands. a 8 p. m curfew was coming to place only a few days. of course, before christmas bars in dublin, restaurants in dublin will find themselves having to shut up shop way earlier than they would hopes during this is what is usually a very, very busy time for them. spain and portugal of both sounded the alarm there. portugal saying that 80 percent of cases by the end of the month, will be on the chron and germany has, puts france and denmark on its list of countries of concern. and is also mulling the possibility of introducing mandatory quarantines on people coming from the united kingdom to germany as well. and we also gather that possibly by the end of the day, the dutch government may have an announcement to make on new restrictions their new parker in london forest. thanks very much for the updates now. and fisher is in washington dc, following the elements from across the u. s. for infections on hospitalisation have searched. of course there was a big surgeon, vaccinations just as the vaccinations 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 wanting know, 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 waddy 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 omicron variant any time soon. fair damage as well as food and water shortages are being reported in some areas of the philippines. devastated by super typhoon roy around 18000 soldiers have been mobilized to help emergency personnel reach stranded communities. the number confirmed killed has risen to 33 with many missing in flood areas.

the recovery and repair operation. we're talking about, aside from that, hit the philippines on friday. and until now there are still many areas that remain cut off. now the government is able to conduct reconnaissance flights to get out led by the philippine military, but reconnaissance flights is not enough enable to be able to fully assess the situation on the ground. personnel needs to be on the ground. they need to be able to clear the debris in order to be able to send the most immediate supplies and that would be food, water, and medicine. we're getting reports of people who have died in many areas, that it's very hard to verify because even the government themselves be themselves admit that those work in the emergency response cluster of the office of the president did themselves say that it's very hard for them to verify information. so like i said, there is that they bought it hit the philippines on friday. it covered a huge swath of area to regents in the philippines and yet many communities remained cut off. at this point, we are in davos city. this is one of the main major drop of and jump off points of those who are doing reconnaissance. and you know, the situation is quite dire. here. resources are stretched as well because it covers a huge area here in the southern philippines. this is the country that is no stranger, the natural disasters, but the fin damage i laying out a has actually created a completely different kind of scenario, one that, that has made suffering even worse. the level has been raised indonesia way volcano threatens corrupt again. 40 people were killed earlier this month and 36 people remain missing on mount cemetery. everyone's been urged to avoid the danger zone on java island as experts report more activity, which could trigger an avalanche of lava and gas. more heavy rain in northern rocks, expected to hamper rescue efforts following flash floods. 12 people died in the deluge. i made up the what had his life for us in a bill a dreadful scenes behind you and across the area by mood. ah. will taylor, this is a, one of the neighborhoods in southern builders is circled up customer neighborhood. there was a severely hit by the floods on a friday, as you can see right behind me, the floods were very strong, that it demolished up, demolished this fence right behind me if you can see. and also some properties of civilians have been swept over by the floods. if you can see here in the back ground furniture of you can see over there. it civil defense teams have been a trying to help civilians are draining their houses and their properties and also rescue teams had been deployed to other areas to look for a missing victims. as you know, this area last one, at 12 months, infant in there that were swept over also by the flood. there are people here are very angry and they're questioning the government for what they call, not doing enough to protect it. is them, especially at, with their reports about drainage system is not working in some parts of the city. you say that the authorities are trying to help those in terms of the rescue and recovery operation. but where, how quickly have they been able to get to the affected areas that is more help coming in? well, the government has located 1000000, excuse me, 1000000000 iraqi dinars for rehabilitation of the areas affected by the floods for compensating people. and also for helping for helping people and districts for relief and for support that is estimated at about $700000.00. and meanwhile, the government of the prime minister could stand rigid mushroom burrows and he is studying or is trying to open an investigation. and what it calls and negligence and mismanagement, because some parts of the drainage system are not working in some parts of the city . as you know, this bill has been hit by civil floods in the past, and especially during the cold seasons moment of the had the in and we'll thank you see that he'd say it says it's prepared to talk to russia about just about to curb meter activity in eastern europe, the kremlin, and i was proposals on friday, calling for legally binding guarantee that nato would cease its military activity, eastern europe, and central asia. the u. s. remains concerned over russia's military buildup of at least $80000.00 soldiers on the ukrainian border. washington described some parts of the draft proposals as unacceptable and was they will be massive consequences of any aggression on ukraine. theresa fallon is director at the center for russia, europe, asia study. she says the u. s. would never agree to some of russia's demands. the 1st read of all of those who has been shocked. these are massive, asks that moscow the kremlin once so many of them. of course no one could agree to, for example, no further expansion. any countries that were included nato, since 1997 with major would have to ask with us, would have to ask permission from the kremlin to do any sort of activities. so i think that there are a lot of red lines there that the u. s. has agreed to discuss some of these issues, but these are big assets and like a sphere of influence, again that, that put in, wants to put in place just completed the summit. this kind of might give you a barometer of how some of the europeans, not all member states are members of nato, but they had said that there will be sanctions if russia continues to increase military activity in ukraine. so there are a lot of tensions. it's quite interesting the timing of all of this because who tim has come in to the 30th anniversary of the demise of the soviet union. so be december 25th and it seems i put in putting a lot of things, you know, lining up all the ducks he has in the shaded. he published a statement saying, how he worked doesn't have driver in the aftermath of the collapse of 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. well, still had held al jazeera, find out how a wave

rebels. one of them is the strategic city of wealthier, the last stronghold of the people's liberation front in the northern region. and if you're a p and government spokesman, it's forces laws and unexpected large scale attack piece that it calls the heavy loss of life and equipment. not even human rights counselors also overwritten objections from ethiopia to launch an investigation into potential war crimes. investigators say they receive credible reports at all sides committing violations in the offensive against growing rebels. 2000000 people have escaped heavy fighting with

killing spunk. protests kim potter says she accidentally fired her gun instead of a taser closing arguments in the trial in chicago. expected on monday, as john 100 reports, the fate of kim potter, a white police officer accused in the racially charged 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. with 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 one chaotic it and then he remember yelling, teaser teaser teaser and nothing happens. 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, the high cove at times the departmental motor vehicles was 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 legal force, that's probably not enough for a conviction. probably 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 just killed somebody you knew that natalie forest was unreasonable and unwarranted, or anybody. that's why
