the netherlands is now the new variant hotspot in europe. more cases confirmed here than any other country. so the dutch health minister has, in the last hour, been updating people. 13 cases confirmed so far of the 0micron variant. but they're still conducting more sequencing tests so there could be more to follow. now these passengers arrived in the netherlands on friday, 61 of them tested positive for covid. they've been taken into isolation in a hotel. but those flights are still arriving so earlier today one came in from johannesburg, another one from cape town and that's causing quite a lot of concern here. because the netherlands is already battling a record—breaking infection rate. today in fact, new measures come into place, so bars, restaurants, cafes, nonessential shops, they have to close by 5pm. and this is to try to relieve pressure on the health service, the hospitals are overwhelmed so intensive care units don't have enough beds, operations are being cancelled and the boosterjabs are being slow to roll out here. it's the ove

the netherlands is battling record coronavirus infections. journalist stephanie van der berg is in the hague and told us more about what's driving these protests there. well, the main point of the demonstration is not that they have recurrent lockdown like in the netherlands where public spaces are closed at eight p.m., but the government announced that if that doesn't work, bringing down the record numbers of infections we are seeing the netherlands, that they might have to look at a system were unvaccinated people no longer will be able to have a green check in the corona app and therefore cannot access with that and so there will be restricted in their movements essentially going out and that is what a lot of people are protesting about we have a caretaker government and setting up a coalition party. one of the coalition parties are an orthodox christian party whose voters are also, a part of them that are not vaccinated because they believe it to be in gods hands and they already said they do not want separate rules for unvaccinated peopl

the netherlands and austria have imposed different forms of lockdown as their infection rates soared. so, what does this meanforthe uk? some argue that more immunity is being built up after previous infections and the rest of europe is now following. maybe they are actually experiencing what some parts of the uk experienced a little bit earlier in the autumn with delta, with things opening up and with the vaccines not fully kicking in, particularly for people in mid—life — that may be the pattern. i wouldn't assume we are going to follow the same trajectory as europe, but we're watching very closely, and obviously, there is concern. the latest infection surveyed from the office of national statistics suggests that in england last week, one in 65 people had the virus — lower than the previous week. in wales, it was one in 55 — also down. in scotland, with one in 95 people, case rates were said to be broadly level. in northern ireland, with one in 65 people, the trend was said to be uncertain. experts say the future path of covid is hard to predict. much will depend on the vacci

and actually the netherlands was initially criticised for being relatively relaxed compared to other countries. and actually the netherlands was initially criticised for being relatively relaxed compared to other countries. so it was one of the last countries in the world to introduce mandatory facemasks, it was one of the slowest in europe to roll out its vaccination programme, but now, with the icus — the intensive care units — reaching capacity and talk of transferring patients over the border to germany for treatment, this is the kind of short, sharp shock that the government is hoping will be enough to bring those record—breaking figures down. the interesting thing here is how divided dutch society has become. there has been a protest very close to where we are now. riot police used water cannon to try to disperse the anti—lockdown, anti—vaccine protesters who are there — about 200 of them — but they are in the minority. and when i've been speaking to people here on the square, this is just outside the dutch parliament building, most of them say, "well, actually, w
