first, covid a new variant identified in south africa is causing concern and disrupting international travel as a result and clive, it s been called omicron tonight. it s always a bad sign when they give it a greek name, isn t it? yeah, it is. it s an attempt not to stigmatise its place, seeming place of origin but the south africans are feeling very bruised by this, actually, because they feel that their systems have managed to detect this, detect it pretty quickly, and bring it to the attention of the world. and the response from the likes of the uk and a number of other countries now is to suspend flights, and they feel a little bit bruised by that. but there is a great deal of anxiety about this. the mutations are rapid and they re numerous and as a result, there s a perception that it could well mean that the vaccines that are in operation may not be effective. but as far as the british are concerned, they feel, after the missteps that
