An isolated island despite concerns from the un and Rights Groups. Plus backlash and boycott some like the provoke debate about diversity in japan. So more than one of the half 1000000 people have now died from 1000 worldwide a 3rd of those deaths happened in just the last 2 months several countries have been reporting record numbers of deaths and new cases among them its italy which did its highest daily death toll on thursday since the start of the pandemic its now introducing new restrictions including limiting movement between regions and in the worlds worst affected country the United States hospital admissions and fatalities have also reached new highs the president elect joe biden says he will ask americans to wear masks during his 1st 3 months in office. In the 1st day im an auger i had to say im going to ask the public for 100 days to mask this 100 days to mask now for over 100 days and i think well see a significant reduction if we curb that everything that occurs with vaccinations and masking to drive down the numbers considerably considerably but well have more on where the u. S. Stands of isolation shortly but 1st for a grand old has this report from the us the center of california. With new covert 19 cases surging across the u. S. Californias governor said hes pulling the emergency brake and will order a 3 week stay at home borders in parts of the state based on Hospital Capacity the bottom line is if we dont act now our Hospital System will be overwhelmed we dont act now will continue to see a death rate climb more lives lost governor Gavin Newsome says the shutdown will go into effect as each Regions Hospital intensive care unit capacity falls below 15 percent most parts of the state are due to pass that mark by mid december were bursting at the seams with too many i. C. U. Patients too many patients that need oxygen and the projections suggest were just in the beginning of this new some big people to hold on a little longer till coronavirus vaccines are rolled out we have a light at the end of the tunnel with these vaccines but we need to take seriously this moment this is the most challenging moment since the beginning of this pandemic but Public Health experts say restrictions lockdowns and stay at home orders are useless unless people observe them americans are fatigued we were never very good turns out and abiding by Public Health advice. We just not we have them all the more nasts we have been distancing weve alluded sizing it and been saying its my freedom not to do it. And so we really battle that and i dont see any indication that were going to change another issue that many states are struggling with is a lack of Trained Medical personnel to handle the siege Rhode Islands governor is begging for help and if youre a retired Health Care Worker of any kind or a Health Care Worker whos currently under employed maybe have some time to spare or are unemployed or working in a non health care setting. Im asking you to suit up and help us out the nations top Infectious Disease expert Dr Anthony Fauci met via video link with members of president elect joe bidens Transition Team for what he called substantive discussions about dealing with the pandemic here in los angeles the mayor had a blunt message for the citys 4000000 people cancel everything mere Eric Garcetti told angelenos if its not essential dont do it rob reynolds Al Jazeera Los Angeles ok lets get more developments in the u. S. With an official hes live at the white house or not and i hear that the food and drug commissioner stephen has been talking about the projected vaccinations. Exactly though the white house has been keen to get approval push through as quickly as possible clearly the pressure on the f. D. A. Got more intense and lead in the week when they realized that the u. K. Was about to give approval for the vaccinations there steven hunt who is the commissioner of the food and Drug Administration said that he did a robust meeting with mark meadows who is the chief of staff to donald trump robust tends to be technical terms for very low davidi show t. V. So you can gather that stephen hunt probably felt that he was coming under pressure he said that there is pressure on them but its to do the right thing in they will go through the process that they intend to go through so the f. D. A. Intends to hold hearings on the efficacy of these vaccinations or in december the 10th they will be public hearings they will review the evidence that is presented by the Drug Companies and then they will make the decision they are hoping that they will move very quickly after that so december the 10th theyre hoping with approval maybe just days afterwards theyll be able to start moving vaccination doses around the country and micheline i think the administration is hoping that theyll get somewhere in the region of 20000000 doses out into the country so people getting the fire showing the vaccinations before christmas with theyre talking about somewhere in the region of 500000000 to 1000000000 doses being available sometime in 2021 so with the the u. K. Approving the vaccination elio this week theres obviously pressure on the f. D. A. Here in the United States to follow suit but as we say that heating jus to take place on december the 10 so theyll be no movement before then despite the political pressure and then this year of course private hits employment rates were hearing theres another round of jobless numbers coming out how do they shape up. 145000 new jobs created in the United States in the last month you might think thats an impressive figure but when you compare that to the month before when 610000 were created it shows that the whole economy is slowing down its the 5th month in a row the figures have been what would be described as disappointing Unemployment Rate dropped from 6. 00 to 6. 00 but this slowdown suggests that employers are what he did but what lies ahead normally in the run up to the Christmas Holidays here in the United States you see a lot of employers starting to add to their what force expecting a rush before christmas hoping that theres going to be a lot of business particularly in retail thats simply not happening this time around certainly not to the levels that weve seen in years gone by you know in the past when the figures have been better than expected weve seen dole trying to make a very brief appearance in the Briefing Room to to see what a great job hes doing a couple of reasons that might not happen this time one the figures not as good as people hoped in to of course hes not running for reelection anymore so i suspect that these figures will be regarded by most in the white house as disappointing but at least theyre i think jobs and at least the Unemployment Rate is there so theres a few crumbs of comfort to take from these new figures and they are alan thanks very much an official there in washington d. C. The Foreign Ministers of qatar and kuwait say there has been some progress made to resolve the gulf crisis has been under an illegal land sea and air blockade by saudi arabia bahrain the u. A. E. And egypt since 2000 june 2017 the Foreign Ministers say constructive talks have taken place between the 4 nations and they all want to reach a final agreement President Trump Senior Advisor john krishna recently visited riyadh and for talks. We have achieved set and father set septum point of time more than a year ago and then things has slowed down and like now there are some moments that we hope that this will put and thought of us christ because we see and we believe actually that got a few nitty is very important for the security of the region for the stability of that region and for for the sake of our people this need this crisis needs to end what Kuwaiti Foreign minister gave a statement a short time ago saying progress has been made. If i thought that constructive and fruitful talks have taken place recently when all the parties have stressed the desire to reach a final agreement and resolutions to preserve the region stability and harmony maintain the interest of the peoples within this context we express our appreciation for the latest if its pledge or push into the us president s advice or joining me here in the hard small when Bashar Al Jazeera senior political analyst how do we frame this small and getting closer to resolution but just not quite there yet now absolutely i think. Were really getting very very close this time around the efforts on the part of the kuwaitis as well as on the parts of the qataris and the saudis are bearing fruit the main issues have been ironed and clearly the parties are willing to open a new page if you will not to look back and to see what is best to security and whereby. There is no return to the kind of crisis we saw in 2017 because as you know the qataris feel betrayed because of the way this been handled the dissent from ation the conspiracy and so on so forth so hopefully a new deal and you page a new chapter in the relations in the gulf the main issues and you say that how might the resolution look how would these issues and the challenges in the problems have been dealt with. Well look what we know for the time being is that that the corner negotiations that in places between saudi arabia and qatar so thats what its at and as we understand were saudi arabia goes the other 3 partners. Will probably follow and the saudis have at having got problems as you know whether it is the war in yemen the conflict with iran the gulf crisis and set them they losing an important ally in washington and having the threats of a new congress and the administration that thats not friends nettled so dave so clearly riyadh is moving towards sort of solution at least one crisis one preoccupation thats the gulf crisis i think they probably im not sure but i hope they understand that they made the mistake you know that way and so they would start behaving that way it probably through some confidence Building Measures like opening the airspace and saw so forth and then that could be followed with some specific buy in that total talks perhaps if you cut out of the way up in egypt and also what there was all the other problems i think what we have. We have for now is a Framework Agreement that they are turning the page and that there is a window if you will to dissolve this issue for a month thanks so much more mature with analysis and i think you.

The video features 3 teenagers who face bullying at school but overcome discrimination through sport. 2 of the girls are from racial minority groups and for some the ad wrongly portrays japanise prejudiced online criticism accuses nike of creating a false impression of japan from another critic the one thats prejudiced is nike while others have promised i wont buy nike ever again i think that they see the as be unnecessarily negative towards and and i think you have an older demographic it more male who are against one of the featured teenagers belongs to japans ethnically Korean Community mainly a legacy from japans colonial period when it ruled over the Korean Peninsula touching on the troubled relationship between the 2 neighbors always rekindles old animosities especially for the older generation but for younger people in japan there seems to be a greater acceptance of diversity with sport leading the way the success of japans multi racial rugby team in last years Rugby World Cup was widely celebrated and the emergence of bi racial tennis star nyoman osaka who is featured in the ad is having a profound impact on the images perience says that her project in the end you know i think resonate with young japanese over the summer we had black lives matters marches here japan is served leads exactly towards greater tolerance and diversity but of course there are people are not comfortable. For its part and nike is standing by the ad saying discrimination is a global issue and it exists around the world but clearly some in japan would have been happier if the company had focused on a different part of the world of the bride aljazeera. In a hollywood 1st want to brothers has announced it will make its blockbusters available to see.

Max platform in the coming months they just have been forced to bypass in a months closure to see their traditional Revenue Streams dry up john murray is a media and pop culture expert and he explains how this decision came about. What happened wasnt 2021 of the brothers released him it was a movie by Christopher Nolan the director of the right of the producer and he was adamant that that film had to go into theaters well were in a Global Pandemic and some people are going to be honest and depending on where you live in the world a lot of theaters will close so that will be heading over 200000000. 00 budget but in the United States it only made 20000000. 00 in its Opening Weekend now the Global Box Office of the film has been strong theyve made their money back and im sure what they start screaming at the film obviously make money but one of the brothers was like no were not doing this again so they already announce wonder woman was going to this streaming platform h. B. O. Max in december and now all 17 of their 2021 films will go on their streaming app because they are trying to err on the side of caution but also be think up their streaming about what weve seen are streaming platforms like disney plus already take some projects that were scheduled for theaters and added to the disney 1st platform theyve done that with several fields and for them just getting the unique brand new subscribers is a victory for the overall channel because the belief is if you show up for the matrix on a lot of brothers h. B. O. Match or you show up or disney film on a disney 1st and then maybe youll stay in consume all the content and so that subscriber and the long time in the long term sense of things is better than just a one off at the box office and so you know i dont lot of the theater owners across the world are frustrated they feel the solution money but the truth of the matter is Everybody Needs to err on the side of caution so the studios have this product and now they actually have a direct to consumer platform with the streaming apps that they can get the product to them and theyre not losing money in a lot.
