the to company said they would offer contact tracing software to public health institutions and governments to build their own apps around. at the heart of the system is bluetooth technology. when 2 phones recognized that they are close enough for a long enough period of time, they will tried an anonymous string of code with each other called a key. should one of the phone on his later input, a coded positive status into the app. the information would get pink to all the phones that have been in its proximity. with the previous 2 weeks. the keys are encrypted and constantly changing. but the most important point is that they never leave your phone. so there isn't a centralized list of who is interactive with whom. the partnership is arguably created, one of the most privacy protecting technologies to help track the spread of the current of ours. a smart move in both business and publicity times. when i spoke with ab guinea, he brought the solution is critique to the issue. now i would say that it's more as terrifying to me as many other solutions. good luck. we have to try to reduce our dep

of input from epidemiologists and public health specialists raised the likelihood of errors. by late april, the supreme court ruled that the government which had sidestepped parliament when it brought bush and that into the contact tracing set up needed to get this signed off by lawmakers. the ruling also stated that a suitable alternative compatible with the principles of privacy must be found. it was a victory, but it was temporary. amid a resurgence of corona virus infections in july, israel's parliament authorized the continued use of the shin bet program into january 2021. your study president, you're saying okay, we can track people. what do you may well, the next day to give up on this resource? is it right as a default to give your security services this power, you say more than what we're seeing wanted check their alternatives. i mean, i think this is the key issue. the greatest concern is that there is not the crisis, it would be great our crusher to increase the capabilities for a non tara related needs in the future, media lash justification of saving lives. howev

and so part of our conversation must expand to, i believe, a public health, a conversation or not just one that depends on what the military does or what law enforcement personnel may do. the vast majority of gone gun owners in this country are civilians that need to have public health viable solutions that provide both security and safety. at the same time, richard feldman at court wire smart guns not as commercialized as perhaps one would assume at this point in the life of people using hand guns, they're not as commercialized as one would assume they might be. is kind of country intuitive swears the dynamic going to come from. is it the gun lobby, the gun manufacturers, big business sponsors or government? i think it's going to be the market place. nanning encapsulates all of those you mentioned. but you know, i agree with what passed you just said i, you know, it's in our, we are the responsibility to do a much better job of keeping guns out of the hands of people who every one of us on this call and every gun on or i know believes or not have guns, but why would we want to use the

health at the university of color and madrid, and then john hopkins school of public health in the u. s. i asked him what might explain the differences between the neighborhoods. one of them is, what is the quality of housing and the amount of people living with you was in the same household unit where we know so far is that if you live in a small slant 56 people, it's pretty much impossible to keep the social distancing than we are right now, encouraging people to guess the way our cities are segregated. unorganized nowadays, and he doesn't matter if it's madrid, barcelona london or new york is some people get to choose or to pick where they want to live and others don't get to choose. and that's because of also lawyers, historical reasons, it's not a fancy area with that. with lots of renewal, then it's the perfect place where low income people and new immigrants are going to come on the list. so at the end, you have an, a mixture of low income, elderly people with immigrants from different countries of origin getting to live in these areas where we are seeing high rates of infecti

this is the latest public health officials to say that india is very much now. and the 3rd wave off the corona virus, and the few dry cases as being driven by the, on the cold, buried which $75.00 percentage of cases, and all major cities being on the cross. the eastern city of called casa, has recorded a highest number of davy cases since the pandemic began, and a positivity range of 38 percent. meaning that one and 3 people who are being tested and that may the city have the virus mon, by which is remain the worst effect city throughout the pad. demick seen the 700 percent increase in cases over the past week. and on tuesday it was 7.7 percent of those who tested positive, needing hospitalization. and while a lot of government health officials are saying that while hospital like the cases are going up at the hospitalization for the low 7.7 percent on tuesday, that was till $834.00 people. and the concern and is that with cases going up as they are, that india is underfunded. health care system is not going to be able to handle a huge strain on cases as we have

even so public health officials a warning of cases continue to climb like this. it could eventually swamp the health care system dominant cane with moral met from bill. and there's no question that the metrics administers who have been talking to the media today about the situation painting. a pretty bleak picture and those figures themselves are pretty bleak, 92000 up on 81000 or more than 10 percent. rise in the number of near infections in the course of one day. remembering that several days this week we've had record breaking figures and each day goes worse. and now we know that more than 70 percent of all the cases are only crohn cases. so it is definitely dominant in this country . some of the interesting things also was than celery things and things you could attach to this particular pandemic right now, is that testing is a bit of a problem. the authorities say there are plenty of p c, r tests that gold standard of testing. and yet, if you go around berlin and other cities, you'll see people queuing, round the corner of the big city blocks, try to get the

i'm frustrated with coded public health measures, and i wish they had to end them soon. and that is precisely the driver behind our policy to ensure that as many people vaccinated as possible we, i. so while most people are frustrated, but most people also agree that those measures are necessary. so we can get out of the pandemic as quickly as possible. so, and i can assure you that those people, some of those protesters, are off side with what canadians believe. a canadians ok want us to get out of dependent as quickly as possible. and that's why canada has one of the highest vaccination rate in the world. and it's, it's an interesting point. you make a mr. gob about the issue of frustration because some of canada's conservative politicians say that this truck convoy has become a symbol of the fatigue and divisions, falcon canada, 2 years into the pandemic. you describe that you so i mean candidates dealing with rising inflation, supply chain issues, worrying, labor shortages. i mean, this is bad news for you and your government isn't it? as you know, darren and i know

in a statement he said the ruling was made in the interest of public health and good. the prime minister scott morrison stated australians had made many sacrifices during his pandemic, and they expect those sacrifices to be protected. a point he made when the federal government cancelled. brockovich is visa for the 1st time. last week. rules are rules as well. i said yesterday. that's the policy the government and has been our government strong border protection policies, and particularly in relation to the pandemic. there is unsure the destroyer has one of the lowest death rights from cove it anywhere in the world. on monday, a federal court overturned the government's visa cancellation only now to have it revoked once again. astrology has had some of the toughest border restrictions in place during the pandemic. with 90 percent of australians out population now vaccinated the a morrison government has been about border control. i'm done this, there's been this great tension around celebrities. not only in sport, no film stars and jimmy's doors. mothers. i'm coming in

and joining us from being a liberal in india persona sally grubbs public health researcher and member of the people's health movement. welcome to the program. thank you for speaking to us on inside story. how do you see and you heard the, the director, general sounding pretty optimistic that the pandemic can and this year if he's saying countries work together, we've heard this call for global solidarity before. so it says optimism justified or is it misguided? no, i assume this is this is based on scientific facts based on 2 main facts that we can say. number one, that the backseat rate is increasing in multiple countries. and we know that the vaccines are effective, especially if the people are taking their doors. we know that the doors can provide some kind of protection if not necessary, from the infection, but at least from severe and this is even against america and body. and number 2 that there are more and more reports showing that the amik on friday. and although it's more transmissible, it cause milder disease, especially in the vaccinated individuals. the hopping by the end

the unique reality is not definitely in public health. of course you can be definitely talking about certain things, but definitely yes, there is a situation of maxine inequality in and for example, i was not even completed 23 percent of its population. i mean, it does not watson, it'd even 22 percent of population. so naturally it's a rhyme ground. i mean this whole topic of the better health system. and if you look at the southern african countries, you have much weaker health systems on hands. you can imagine what could be the situation there. so that's the point that i was trying to me. okay. on a present, on this point of inequality, public health officials warned at the time of the vaccine rollouts, which was correct me if i'm wrong here. but about a year ago now, they said that equitable vaccines was essential to preventing mutations, as well as dangerous variance that would prolong the pandemic. and here we are now, we hear the same calls for vaccine equality and, and equity. what's gone wrong? well, we took an approach which prom

we're going to reveal the extent of another hidden public health issue. loneliness, a or social distancing, physical distancing. quarantine locked down so fascination more than any other time in recent history. anti social behavior has become part of our global reality, because we'll separate ourselves from one another to stay for prolonged periods of time at home to not meet with friends and family to not commit to work or even sit in a restaurant or a cafe. all of that is quite anti social. it's not how humans a wide. and it's why, even though the physical health benefits of the coven triggered lockdown stepping, undeniable the psychological impact has been inescapable to italy's experience with corona virus was harrowing. it was one of the 1st european countries to be affected, and despite strict look down, it has had more than $36000.00 corona virus related deaths. as of october, this year, in early march after a cove in 19 outbreak flared up near her home. 74 year old psychologists, roberta brovio and for colleagues, set up a free mental health hotline for long body residence. she beg

and he said he made this decision on the grounds of public health. he said that john, which opposed a risk to the australian community, the government last week. and certainly the strength border forces noticed that he didn't meet the criteria for entry. and of course, he'd been given the exemption to travel and plainly astray and open by tennis australia and the victorian government and not long before. so it's another turn we do expect novick jacqowitz's team is legal team to appeal this decision yet again. and it's yet another twist in ongoing saga, just days before the australian open begins. weston, sidney university's david rowe says it's been an extraordinarily sensitive issue with debate within the government about who makes the ultimate coal being complete confusion here as to who actually has jurisdiction. so scott morrison, the prime minister said only a few days ago that the decision was essentially in the hands of the victorian state government. now the last are heard, state governments don't control national borders, but it seems to be

now public health experts are reminding the government that just last year we had a situation during the delta surge when millions of people across india continue to get infected as the so called super spread of religious gatherings continue. and that is again, that fear this time. how near micron is milder than dealt her? so what are the numbers like in terms of people ending up in hospital? so hospitalizations have remained relatively low. it's not as surge as we're seeing in cases, but there has been a gradual optic now prime minister movie has really to waited in our states once again to make sure hospitals have enough beds. there are enough facilities like oxygen supply and hospital se the all well equip because most beds are empty. but there are some concerns. for example, hundreds of healthcare workers have fallen sick so that has led to concerns over staff shortages. now this has all to impacted other medical treatment that's not covered. 19 related, several surgeries have had to be post on. the other concern is this trained this good take on other resources like testing? now

this is the latest public health officials to say that india is very much now. and the 3rd wave off the cover, and virus, and the few dry cases as being driven by the, on the called buried, which $75.00 percentage of cases, and all major cities being on the cross the eastern, to the of called casa, has recorded highest number of davy cases since the pandemic forget and the positivity range of 38 percent, meaning that one and 3 people who are being tested and the major city have the virus mon, by which is remain the worst effected city throughout the pad. that i could see the 700 percent increase in cases over the past week. and on tuesday it was 7.7 percent of those who tested positive meeting, hospitalization, and wall a lot of government health officials. the saying that while hospital life, the cases are going up at the hospitalization which the low 7.7 percent on tuesday, that was till 834 people. and the concern and is that with cases going up as they are, that india is underfunded. health care system, it's not going to be able to handle a huge strain on ca

but our tech solutions, the best solutions we're starting, something that seems like it's in public health, very quickly becomes about measuring people what data is being collected. where is it being for it? polly re looks at the limits of time and the potential of other creative ways to deal with the issues we face. track it when tech tools go viral. episode 3 of all hail the locked down on al jazeera. january on i just need i, we look back on us president joe biden supposed deal in office 12 months on from the capital building by the part of the stream and join our social media community . s, sierra leone to recovery from civil war, continues. we mark 2 decades since the end of one of africa's most political complex, the bottom line. steve clemens dives headlong into the u. s. issues that shape the rest of the world. as we enter the 3rd year with 19, we go back to where it all began and investigate how far we've come. since the pandemic january on i just stepped beyond the comfort zone. were assumptions or challenge travel to the ends of the earth and further experience, the unimaginable

because public health and public safety is a very high threshold when it comes to these types of issues. and is that defined in a clearer and straightforward way? how will, how will the court put that to the test? there isn't a dictionary definition that the, the courts will be looking acts as a number of factors that will be considering that the point is this is a residual discretion. this is something that the immigration minister has the power to do. so as long as the immigration minister can show that this is a rational decision that any reasonable person in their position with that information would make, then the court would find in favor of the immigration minister. problem is that the whole process hasn't exactly been handled very well, and so it does lend itself to there being an element of irrationality and decision . where do you see the flaws in this process? i think the fact that you've got 2 independent health panels who have given an exemption, one of which is from the one of the states government states authorities. the fact that he was allowed to claim. and he was in th

so primary, scott marson saying this is in the public interest attorney interest of good health . it's gone past that hasn't, isn't it just isn't it was totally political now. is is a deeply blessed co question or is it the ho i'm i feel i re me it all. the morrison government has been a bad border control. and this is been this great tension around celebrities. not only in sport, no film stars and t. v. stars, mothers, i'm coming usual straight here as a time when people were forbidden from a from australian citizen, some permanent residents are allowed to visit. so they could their home country and they weren't allowed to go overseas and they weren't even allowed to move around the country. so it's a very sensitive issue here. and so not terribly surprising that so the political play has been on the side of standing away as celebrity can much made of novick joke of it himself. his vaccination status, his social media posts his travel, etc, etc. but i'm still trying to understand on the other side of the ledger where you've got the straining government, you've got the victorian s

the infection numbers are enormous and yet undeniably the public health consequences are less severe. so have we genuinely reached a turning point? well, plenty of scientists seem to think so. and even the world health organization says that 2022 could bring an end to the acute phase of the pandemic. but the world health organization cautions that's possible only if the vaccines and treatments available in the rich world are made equally available to all a goal. the world is some way from achieving and even then scientific views are divided on the contrary and actually shows us that this bias by flexible, the con, radiate is so different to the other ways that we've seen that actually able to enter and sell in incomplete, different ways from the waves, previous range use to enter and what we realize is that the space for the application of this virus is quite large. and a lot of transmission is allowed to continue. the course of the panoramic is going to be very, very unpredictable. hi, transmission rates, raise other concerns to the debilitating effects of long cove. it the continued

next week. public health experts say this is a welcome step, given the sarge, incorporate 900 cases across india. and what is the covey situation like across india? right now? we're seeing cases by get an alarming with just this morning. the government says that india recorded about 33000 new cases, a big jump from 10 days ago when india was recalling 1012000 cases a day in many cities, cases are rising and doubling almost over night. mom by which is in just financial stop. that is the hardest hit, new delhi is also see a big fight. so cool. cinemas, engines have been shot and there are restrictions on public fonts for restaurants. and, and i tell you, is also in place, in fact, the state of bingo has just shifted slide from moved by in jelly because of the cases now of public health. but have also off the government to consider turning down electioneering, you know, in just headed for elections in a couple of months, but political values continue. the government says it will look at hospitalizations and death to decide on for the cubs. because as of now, it says that cases have largely be

oh, his team i should say, is arguing that deportation could be as much of a threat to public health by fanning the anti vaccine statements like this saga continues in australia. sarah clark reporting live her from brisbin syrup. buddy, thanks indeed. back in serbia, fans of the world, number one, a standing by him saying that australia is treating him unfairly. oh, this additional or no luck with no look has gone true, is the frustration of foreign termination here? no, it's not no means. so one comes from here, 4 is not desirable anywhere. even if he's on the top of the world, does not acceptable. who said that if they had said from the beginning that only vaccinated people can participate, it wouldn't be correct. oh, but as it is at one point, they telling one thing another time, they tell him something else. and a stroke of which is legal troubles unfold. australia is battling a surge in corona virus infections. it's most popular state new south wales reported a 3rd day of a record number of deaths on friday hospitals. they're struggling with staff shortages and we'll have more o

if the less is slowing down, it's a sign in process because of this and public health measure due to kind of at 19 what, what does that mean for the the it and now the caravan of honduras that are starting the journey. now you're right on the money marianne, this is a worrying sign. again. the 1st major caravan of the year we've been monitoring this. we'd heard rumors that this was going to take place on saturday and sure enough our sources in honduras of reported that anywhere between 40600 people began to leave saint pedro sousa honduras the early hours of saturday. they've, at this point already reached the honduran border with guatemala. the vast majority of those in this caravan are from honduras. but there is also a large number of nicaraguan citizens, presumably people who are fleeing for political reasons. there has been a, a crackdown on descent linked to the pre, the, the most recent electoral cycle in nicaragua. but again, when you look at the sheer numbers of people here in tiquana, it's not just the policies of the united states. it's not just the pandemic, but it's this

there are no good mechanisms to report them quickly to public health authorities . so the, the 1000000 we, we heard about is actually maybe more than one day's worth, because a lot of reports weren't submitted over over the weekend. so hospitalizations really speak to the impact on the health care system and the, the, the impact on the population people and was sick in the hospital is another important thing to know because the, the, the i c use are not full. the hospitals are getting to be full again. but for example, our hospital only has about 10 people in the i see you right now. one ventilators, where as it was 70, or $75.00 at the pico last winter, we have to run our economy. and most of the people that are out there, especially the ones that are vaccinated, are only mildly ill. and you know, theoretically, could work. but we're not going to break the chain of transmission. and it is a trade off between keeping the economy going and decreasing out the number of infections. where as for many people it's, it's just a bad cold for a few days. and we do have this

her sick say the measure exploits. public health concern over the pandemic as a pretext to avoid having to process asylum applications. manny wrapper reports, hundreds of people gathered in the city of some federal sula, honduras in the early hours of saturday. they quickly organized before sunrise to begin the perilous journey of more than 4000 kilometers toward the united states burritos in. but i bar, whether it is already danger, but whether you're going with a smuggler or in the cut of arm, because it all was danger. and anyway, i know my blow hulu. our grip. it's the 1st large scale wave of central american migrants of 2022 while most or from honduras. there is also a large number of migrants from nicaragua. i am a complimentary and doodle. when all god, it is quite a tough road ahead of us and we ask god as well as the government of honduras says, we are still in hon jordan territory to please accompany us until we reach guatemala. to not put any road blocks ahead of us or finding migrants rights activist watched closely as the mass of people left the city. they also made an effo

he posed a public health risk. and the alex hoped, the immigration minister made the decision. he used his discretionary powers as the minister at to revoke his visa cit based stating it was on the public grounds in the best interest of the australian community, a community to leave. and he simply said that to him stat saying he had jock of staying here and remaining in australia, he would fuel this anti backslash and sentiment. so this is a big decision after days and days of this saga died before the federal court. twice his bees are being revoked twice and finally, a decision before the federal court with the chief justice as stating the joker which must go. and this could also main or were yet to hear whether or not they will include this, but he could also be banned from re entering australia based on this decision that could mean the job which could be 37 years of age before he is able to return to try and compete again in this tournament. now, the judge said, due to the urgency of this case purely on the ground itself, was one day on the eve of this tray and open a jock

she perhaps the country's best known public health expert. this is a, a contentious hearing where they are basically accusing the administration of failing the american people and having lost the american people's trust. however, paula, we have seen dr. will and skiing, try to be diplomatic in her answers as government officials are trained to do when they testified before congress, dr. foul, she has a been accusing senators of trying to play politics with public health policy. and it's made for some interesting fireworks. now whether or not this all clarifies what's going to happen with the administration's response going forward remains to be seen. ok, ross jordan, ebay has not since 8 a from washington d. c. it was. thank you. let's as being naive political haine, she's outside a hospital in counseling and in maryland's we've got this as senate hearing on going at a in the capital. but keith, tell us what it's like on the grounds right now, because there are reports that hospitals in the us to coming on to real pressure. incredible pressur

now public health experts are reminding the government that just last year we had a situation during the delta surge when millions of people across india continue to get infected as the so called super spread of religious gatherings continue. and that is again, the fear this time china is facing a taste of its so called 0 covered policy ahead of the paging winter olympics in february. and a varsity of towns in is under restrict locked on with 41 locally transmitted on the con cases reported on thursday. travel in and out of the area has been severely restricted. their affairs at the outbreak could disrupt the winter games. and also the lunar new year celebrations next month for it can it is monitoring developments from hong kong. the focus of china's cove efforts is intention. now. they're not exactly sure what the source is and change in, but they do know that the chain of transmission looks to have gone through primary school kids. now change in to give you an idea is just about a 30 minute train ride to bay jing where the winter games will be held. so that's why there's a lot arou
