russia will face severe penalties if it chooses to invade ukraine, i guess, as she will be. it's biden's most definitive statement yet on putin's intentions. but his comments spark criticism when he

job like others and bobbins, the 21 year old believe the misinformation and conspiracy theories about the vaccines. the 1st one is that when you get vaccinated rates the day earlier than expected. and the 2nd one is that why samuel did vaccinated you're initiated into such an isn't unlike most people are afraid of some sort of us life of rates. and really, there is a theory is very dangerous. zimbabwe missed is december target, a vaccinating 60 percent of the 15000000 population just over a 3rd had been fully inoculated. health workers say the problem isn't getting vaccine deliveries. china recently sent 10000000 doses and more on the way the challenge is convincing more people to accept them. oh, wendy cooney is getting her booster. she believes a low vaccination res could have something to do with the perceived madness of the on the con variant. most people don't know the benefits of being vaccinated, they just think it's, you know, we can get sick and recover at home. so most people won't come in just because of that. to raise the total, the government made a compulsory for all its workers to get vaccinated. the bobbins can only get into bars, restaurants and places

bill and people are fully vaccinated. reasons varied from country to country. they include access to the vaccines, logistics, hesitancy, and apathy. government leaders here say they are trying to

ambassador mona jewel sitting behind the foreign minister who chaired the meeting, played an instrumental role in mediation at the time. the un envoy tor westland, is also a norwegian, and he reacted to the latest. his railey action. 15 members of a family in chicago. sure are a palestinian neighbourhood in east jerusalem were dragged from their home. it was then demolished just hours before the security council meeting. i still remain concerned by the potential election of a number of palestinian families from homes they have lived in full decades in c. h . robinson. bartley moves of his dues and the risk that such acts use polls for escalating violence. i call on these really authorities to end the displacement and addictions of palestinians in line with this obligation on the international law. israel's ambassador to the un brought a large rock to the security council meeting, saying it was a palestinian terrorist weapon. a palestinian diplomat later remarked to me, perhaps our side should bring a fighter jet next time to show the weapons these riley's use. outside the council chamber, i asked the israeli ambassador to explain his government's actions and shake gerra in regards to what you asked me about the supposed evictions. again, israel is a low biding country. we have a very respected and responsible and independent legal system. will you don't abide by un security council resolutions that's international our, our legal system is her, is her respected internationally. and our courts, our own, as i said, independent no way had called this as a ministerial meeting of the security council. to refocus attention on one of the world's longest standing conflicts, cobra is clearly a factor, but out of the 15 council members, only gonna annoy

and violence that in court announced her candidacy on tuesday. she ran to the top job 20 years ago, was kidnapped by fall rebels and held for 6 and a half years. in an interview with us sounds, beauty, she outlined her vision for columbia. your 1st bid for the presidency, 2 decades ago was cut short when you were abducted by the resolution and forces of columbia far so many years later, what made you went through? right? well, i think this is a moment in the, in the history of my country where things are changing a very high speed. this is view 1st, because of the peace process that made colombians look at the reality in a different way. obviously are they well known internationally as a former hosted you bring sort of celebrity power to your candidacy. why should colombians vote for you? well, for it, because i'm a woman and we have another vision. war is a man. thing. woman is about reconciliation piece. building that together giving opportunity 2nd opportunity. but how much would you say that how as also to do with the fact that your coalition is somewhat suffering. and the paul is for the fact that the candidates until you decided to step into the race, we're all male white and older. well, it's changed. so now we're going to be on the top. i think this is a winning ticket. i really believe the change for columbia is in the center. it's not in the extremes. we are fed up with extremes. the extremes are the same for me . extreme right extreme left. it's the same thing. but there's, you have some specific proposals against the correction. because if you talk through practically all the candidates will tell you we are against corruption, i'm the best one to deal with it. is there one particular proposal that you think you can share with us? i want to point 8, sorry against corruption. because i think we need someone that will be dedicated to oversee all the secretaries ministries, all the administration of government in order to, to give guarantees to the people that the for that are working in my government will not steal, will not be corrupted. and recent events at the truth commission, you use very start words against the former fight commanders. do you think they need to do more for the victims of the internal conflict? of course they have to do more. i mean the victims we have been very, very generous with, with our abductors and with the people in the fog that have violated our human rights. but the fork which is now a political party, has to understand that there's no more time for justification. ok. i, a u. s. court recently ordered the fire to pay $36000000.00 in compensation for your abduction is something that you've also been trying to get in for many years. what do you make of this decision? well, i think it's a big victory. it's a moral victory because we have been living we were born under the system of corruption that has been abducting, are the possibilities of, of prosperity, of being who we want to to be. we were chained by corruption to poverty, to violence, to abuse, to segregation, to sexual and gender violence. that's corruption. so now we need, and i will make sure that columbia get can been seated, that the richness of my country will be put to serve our people. not the curved ones. scientists have discovered a rare coral reef off the coast of to he is being referred to as the field
