the moment states that 5 members of the sovereign council will come from the transition military council and 5 members will be coming from the forces of freedom and change with the 11th member to be agreed upon by both sides it also states that the majority of the executive council will be decided on by the forces of freedom and change but what the roles of these 2 councils and the legislative assembly which will be formed 3 months after the transitional period is starting 3 months after the transition period starts is something that is yet to be discussed in you envoy and the transition military council say that that is something that they will wrap up on friday and that the final deal is signed on friday afternoon but until a bad deal is signed this deal is a landmark there still remains a lot to be talked about a lot of issues to be discussed between the 2 sides for sudan's transition to be complete. now the world health organization is meeting in geneva to decide if in the bowl outbreak in the eastern democratic republic of congo is an international

health emergency there's concern the outbreak could spread quickly after 2 infected people died in densely populated areas bordering rwanda and uganda the virus has claimed at least $1600.00 lives in the democratic republic of congo in the past year catherine soy has more from nairobi. we've spoken to a health ministry officials in uganda who say that they have started vaccinations in point market in the southwest where this woman who came to trade to sell her fish in this market and then went back home and died of a bola where she was so they've started this vaccinations they've also are taken some samples from some people and taken them to the uganda virus research institute in entebbe for tests that also set up check up points in all entries with d.r. see now the concern is that this market in this area is a major trading between the 2 countries one of the busiest and this woman came to

the market by road from the r. c. but it's not clear whether she made any stops who she interacted with along the way whether she spend nights in other places and it's also when she came to the market she fell sick and she was throwing up so it's not clear who cleared that up as well so a lot of concern around this and then across the indian r.c. the capital of north korea. we have also spoken to health officials there they say that they are looking for several people who were in touch with the preacher who was confirmed to have the boy and he has since died but they also say that many other people who interacted with him have come out to health workers and have been vaccinated government officials we've been speaking to also saying that they are confident that the disease is not going to spread far. well still ahead on al-jazeera the u.s. imposes new stronger sanctions against man miles military leaders cues on the mass

a bit of a foregone conclusion that joaquin guzman better known as el chapo would spend the rest of his life behind bars a life sentence was the mandatory minimum for the extensive conspiracy crimes that he was convicted of the government asked for an additional 30 years because he used a machine gun during some of his drug trafficking crimes for which he was convicted but of course even knowing what the sentence would be there's always drama surrounding guzman when he comes into the courtroom his wife emma coronel a spore oh the beauty queen in the courtroom along with his 2 twin daughters their 2 twin daughters and joaquin guzman himself spoke in the courthouse and complained about the conditions of his detention saying that it was psychological torture to be kept alone for 24 hours old a day he said it was cruel and inhumane not likely to get much sympathy from the judge or the crowd for that matter after some of the brutal crimes that he was

convicted of testimony during the 11 week trial included accounts of him killing someone who refused to shake his hand among many other awful crimes as well so not a surprise in terms of the sentence but certainly lots of drama in the courthouse behind me you can see maybe some of the intense security behind me as we are waiting for attorneys for the government as well as for the defense to come out and address the media as things are wrapping up inside the courthouse all right thanks so much for now chris and salumi that the international court of justice has ordered pakistan to review the death sentence handed down to a former indian navy officer. valve was put on death row for terrorism and espionage charges off that he was arrested in the block just down province the verdict is binding but he cannot be inforced the case has been a source of escalating tensions between the nuclear neighbors. well let's look at the events which led to the judge that was arrested in 2016 when he was charged

delayed by republicans who attempted to have the accusation of racism made by the house speaker introducing the bill struck off the record i urge you listen to the and you are that the balance of my house is going to the general speaker of the house if she would like to rephrase that comment i had actually read my remarks as a parliamentarian before i read them the unprecedented argument delayed the vote for hours many republicans clearly more angered by the speaker's words than by those treated by the president as a general make a demand of the words be taken down. a request for jones words or on parliamentary question to be taken out despite the republican fury a vote was taken and the house ruled the speaker's words should be kept on the record then another moment of drama for the 1st time a formal attempt in the house to move articles of impeachment against the president impeaching donald john truck president of the united states of

misdemeanors the move is likely to intensify what has been a bitter debate among house democrats about impeachment more than 80 representatives are in record as urging such a move others including the house speaker have been arguing that it would be better to continue investigating the president through house committees rather than risk a failed move to impeach therefore downall john traub by causing such harm. 2 words for 30 of the united states is unfit to be president and warrants impeachment trial and removal from office a decision may not need to be made one way or the other mike hanna al-jazeera washington managing the risk of digital currency is like facebook's libro will be a priority for g 7 leaders meeting in france the french finance ministers warning

those responsible for human rights abuses is the stream now stay with us. after 25 years of importing the world's waste. recycling industry into chaos. results. we bring you the story. on al-jazeera. ok. you're in the stream today in the philippines what's the human cost of president reagan to tell drug war. of human rights abuses and what's being done about them are you personally impacted by the philippine war on drugs we want to hear what you have to say on this issue let us know via twitter or in our live you tube chat. i mean.

right and you are in the. thousands of crime suspects have been killed in philippine president drew go to tell his war on drugs over the past 3 years but rights groups believe the number of casualties is much higher than the 6000 some deaths the government admits to amnesty international says the killings disproportionately affect poor communities amount to crimes against humanity also the u.n. human rights council voted to investigate alleged abuses in the country those abuses include extrajudicial killings disappearances police coverups authorities say those killed were crime suspects who were armed i am resisting arrest the philippines human rights commission says there could be more than $27000.00 deaths from extra judicial killings the government denies that supporters insisted strong

campaign is necessary to reduce crime and they say that it's necessary to reduce crime so. in this episode will learn about the people impacted by this 3rd series policies and ask whether the nation's approach towards fighting drug crime needs reform but with us to discuss this in manila carlos condé a researcher with human rights watch also in manila. political and security analyst with the think tank asia pacific pathways to progress and in hong kong al jazeera correspondent. we reached out to the government for a representative to join our program as well but they declined our request so welcome to all of you and i want to start with our community because at the top of the show we asked people for their experiences if they've been impacted by this war on drugs we heard responses so this is in the al to process who writes on twitter if it had not been for deterred drug war my brother would have been

a drug addict until now he goes on to say my brother was fairly incarcerated by authorities there also reported cases of killings here at our place where we are due to the administration's anti-drug campaign and that's because some drug addicts have illegal possessions of firearms which give the police the right to protect their lives so a viewpoint that may not here often at least outside of the philippines what do you make of his take on this drug war because he seems to think it's success. well it's hard to make judgement of his personal experience but just based on my experience as someone's covered of the drug war from the very beginning i'd like to say that it's very hard to measure. the sentiment of people when they live in a climate of fear we we it was obvious from the very beginning there was always an issue of security safety physical security in so many neighborhoods across the

country and this is why when the president promised during the campaign and we've covered that can be quite extensively his campaign in particular i produced a documentary on president the terry dispraise eventually campaign and another documentary of his 1st 100 days he promised to end the presence of illegal drugs narcotics for within the 1st 6 months of his office so this campaign this promise presidential campaign promise is actually really essentially what propelled him to power and really what got him the presidency i guess a year after he sat in office he kind of admitted that he's not going to be able to fulfill that promise and more than 2 years on as the drug war continues so-called drug war continues he himself admits that it's not going to be he's not going to be able to stop the presence of illegal drugs here so yes there are so many people who feel that their lives have been transformed positively by the war on drugs but from

my experience i have also been witness to this so many families well also suffered because of you know the kind of loss that they've had you know losing somebody they love somebody they knew because of the so-called war on drugs so there are many different narrative but it's hard to determine that when everybody lives and do this climate of of fear and and you know and so it's we have to respect that a lot of people do feel the same similar but from my experience of covering their war and drugs that's kind of a minority perspective cause i just about to get in there let me just play some of . whom started off supporting the war of drugs she's from the philippines and then she had a tragedy in her home in a family and then she changed her mind have a listen to her pick up of the fact that. well not up on the bar on them but i was even saying that the tears of the families of those killed seem to fake but when that happened to us i felt the pain they were feeling which we were now

experiencing but. they are known by my direct and i was really supportive of what was happening in the drug war if it doesn't happen to your family you won't wake up to the truth become a good singing. the has. that's something i think that sentiment is something that we're seeing increasingly happening in the philippines because of the drug war and just to go back to. the killings on the family i mean this is something that the researcher for human rights watch has been spending considerable amount of time on trying to determine how. the killings the violence affected children particularly in poor farming is that. so far what i've seen from doing this and of course there are others who are doing this and particularly journalists as well but it seems that it's just some of them bearable. i think to watch to hear them.

recount what happened to. the killing of their father or brother and more importantly what happens afterwards to be a lot of lost lives a lot of the children of stuff going to school a lot of them. basically just started working some of them a lot of them started living on the streets in the streets because no one could take care of them anymore so you know this drug was. deemed justifiable because of the many intractable problems that we've been facing for decades now but these drug war houses. in the copper scruffy. you know it has dominated generation of filipinos so i think you can. see is that particularly the poor one and that is exactly where community is picking up on so g.-o. here on twitter says it's not really the for paying the highest price but rather only the poor are paying the price figure drug lords are still free to roam around

while the poor become collateral i wrote an essay for this for my human rights class last week he writes and a turkey is becoming one knows most of it so there is an extreme example right there except an extreme analogy that he's making right there that i don't think all the people in our community would agree with but the point is making about who this a fax lucio what do you make of that point that this is mostly and mainly affecting the poor sure. the drug war is a very interesting campaign. where the government opinion poll busy shows the public support for the war since the 17. benefited the most argue this war is after the there in support of the gate leading to a meeting where the conduct of the drug war. recently in the midterm elections you have former or the face of the drug war former police chief

ronald but thought a lot also winning the 5th spot. in the contest or. this by paving go to law making. production and the surface of the brutal raising remain high actually surprising even in the last this week the flu is the 4th who were. among. the demographic that suffered the most from the drug war so if i may you find me. there but really we need to i think you said just the minds of a lot of people the simple scream popularity of a president justification or justifies or excuses out in some thousands of murders that we're seeing i mean no one is disputing that he is popular he is extremely

popular because filipinos have grown sick and tired of the old ways of doing politics in the country and he presented himself as the solution to many of our problems not just on the drugs but to confuse popularity a widespread support and worse an endorsement or a justification for the drug war i think it's just extremely. curious and i think that's just not you know it just flies in the face of the many sufferings of the people that we're seeing. i want to know i am not in any way. or just a part of his popularity or were you know the excesses in the views of the. things like those. really mar the complaint and i actually look forward to the next 3 years to actually move forward to help and the more that we have lived a good aspect. and probably right may become more you may try to rein in this when

the excesses of police and law enforcement behind an illegal drug operation i think into actually in the survey and if i may i just want to push you along a little bit because the numbers even though the to speak to for the number of civilian deaths these are the numbers and the instances of human rights alleged abuses as well made the un human rights council say we need to be investigating what is happening in the philippines on the war on drugs jamila do you want to take us into what exactly are they able to do if anything. well i'll leave that up to carlos was been part of you know has been closely following the u.n. human rights in the regions over the past few months but what i can just say when we talk speak of the popularity of the president so many surveys in the past actually do say that the general filipino public do approve of the need for the

campaign against drugs however not everybody and majority of them do not agree with the killings that have been committed by police and that the majority of those who have been surveyed do feel that they may be a victim to extrajudicial killings so that's quite telling when we speak of popularity when we speak of surveys we need to do and look into the context of the questions and the kind of answers that were given by those who have been surveyed i just wanted to add to that based on my coverage of the government's reaction of you know foreign international organizations coming in to investigate they have always been dismissive of organizations coming in to investigate you can rights watch on this international perhaps the e.u. they have always said that this is basically interference and that much has is being done to prosecute those. people or government officials in question so i

think that reaction when they that human rights council decision came out and the reaction of the government was quite expected they were dismissive and they were even actually contemplating on cutting diplomatic ties with iceland i mean that was a statement released yesterday by the government spokesperson. we just got this come and live in and here you are there carlos i'll give this to you because we just got this coming in live on you tube this is going to loop flores who says polls are easy to manipulate and this is picking up on the point that you are making with lucio about opinion polls and support and popularity. they're easy to manipulate especially in a country that doesn't have. election systems the question is whether or not filipinos believe drug use and addiction has gone down with this what do we know about drugs and addiction well if you if you listen to the government they're contradicting basically they're saying that drug use in the philippines remains the

same and in fact they're saying that it's. probably illegal drugs and you. actually worse and so you know it's it's kind of a conundrum to many of us but just to go back to the popularity before attack of the u.n. human rights council. keep in mind that the government has exploited and misused and used to the hilt this issue about the popular art of the president of the excuse everything that has happened in this country and you hear that a lot of times in many of your conversations and many of my conversations we people from different members of the international community but just on the solution i think is a very crucial step this is this is a small step but very crucial step for accountability as we've been saying because the local the domestic human rights accountability mechanisms have not been working the guards what you hear from the government it's not been working and that's precisely why the u.n. human rights council need to act now what will happen after this i mean we will

leave it to the office of the high commissioner for human rights to do what is necessary or what she thinks she could do but the un human rights council does not lack for options on how to determine the situation on the ground so they really do that and you will by the next session in june 2020 are expected to put to submit a report to the council and and to see where their future significant actions can be taken in moving forward and this quest for action doesn't just come from outside of the philippines it comes from inside of the philippines have a listen to one woman one activist teaching in a. more than 2 years ago in manila the net cost to your son was killed by armed men but she believes they were linked to the police monette blames president of the so-called war and drugs for her son's death and she's become an activist speaking out against the campaign.

extradition killings should and the government should instead serve the filipinos according to government data more than 6000 people have been killed over the past 3 years an average of 6 every day. so this is where you hit in the last reporting and you can see from within the philippines it's not just outsiders who are upset with the number of civilians who are dying but it's people within the philippines how do you make sense of that because i know early we would talk about the popularity of the president but you also have activists saying this one drugs has to stop. sure so the drug war as of earlier has become abusive. really also. even the death toll has been a best the figure of government saying that it's in the vicinity of 6000 rights which you say it's over there are some the police were saying because.

those killed in legitimate and be drug operations with those beds or homicides under investigation so listen though if i if i'm just really very direct than there are too many civilians who are dying as a little girl the youngest. that we believed to have been caught up in a drug raid we're going to share pictures of her funeral here she was 3 years old caught up in a drug raid there was a teenager who can was caught up in a in a raid as well and we'll say pictures of his friend or so you can we can debate the stats but there are civilians innocents who are dying what do you do about that within the philippines what's the president do about that. well sure there are a lot that all damages the campaign and i think government should bride to be assured the public that moving forward this campaign bus the main with this level

of support then is passed to reassure the public that such incidents with. will need to be gated and those involved in such a should be used to that if they were found to do so. then they had to be prosecuted. we will recall some policemen involved in the killing of minors. where brought to justice. and people really demanded and the family of the victim. so i think alongside the pain to go through this once the internal forensics within the whole thing falls. so the police and they stand. there are. police officers involved in the drug trade and this complicates the execution of the drug

so i think government should demonstrate serious work with the elements and. gone beyond i think right now we've gone beyond and i think the p.n.p. have demonstrated it's a new building is income income possibly investigate i think right now with all these debts i think. asking the police to mitigate the drug war asking the government to do you know to deal with this colossal collateral damage to think a very low you know what we're asking right now what the human rights defenders want what the victims want is accountability you know their house to be a 2 year demonstration account to be. you know the case about the 17 year old. not just hold it in the conviction of people whose office is not just one of the house of the house of documents it's been 16 now that is not ought.

to be that is coming so and the government itself the philippine national police they have all been trying to frustrate every attempt to investigate and you know to ensure accountability domestic so i think at this point the philippine government the philippine national police department of justice they have humans treated and we really really. would be from the from the perpetrators of killings and we're just talking about the killings by the police ok so let me just say that the pm pay i guess the mention the pm piece an acronym is the philippines national police many so i want to share 2 takes on this is the 1st one is from our own on twitter who says that this anti-drug campaign the so-called drug war has produced results for the surrender of he gives the number here of 1000000 drug dependence of course we can independent independently verify that he says the difference though can be felt

in communities where petty crimes were rampant before the crackdown the depressed area in the city where i reside had drugs being sold openly in the streets before this so that's one take on this but on the opposite side of this spectrum from someone who says reform it needs to happen is r.j. and he says the u.n. human rights council of this resolution on this drug war campaign is an initial step to bring justice to thousands of deaths since he came to power the pressure from the international community and the call for the protection of human rights in the course of the government's blatant disrespect brings the situation in the court of public opinion jim i'll bring you back in here because he mentions public opinion what do you think public opinion is of this e.u. in investigation and especially given that the president has already said that you know he is against it. well it's hard to say exactly. yet what it's too early to basically figure out what is public opinion of this

because i think it just came out about less than 2 weeks ago but you know if we're looking at a situation where people have have basically been reading up every day and watching everything news about the drug war and and and we seen basically that majority of people are much are busy with the very basics having to you know find food for the table jobs the concept of you know fundamental freedoms basic freedoms human rights these these concepts are abstract in many ways this is why this is when government agencies do come in and need to come in to perform do duties and this is where like our carlos carlos believes and all other n.g.o.s believe where the government feel to act i meet you you cannot expect the public to be the one to to react and give the kind of opinion when it comes to issues like this because there is a need for institutions to function properly to support and protect the public and

i think this is what is the basis basically of the human investigate u.n. investigation they said philip in government us fail to act and this is why we need to come in and investigate and it's important to remember that this is not the only international court possibly investigating president of the could there is war in drugs the international criminal court is also looking at the possible the probability of a case if there is any merits of possible crimes against humanity committed there have been more than 50 communications submitted by different civil society groups so the international criminal court so that's also something that needs to be this needs to be watched out for and also on the local level the supreme court has already ordered the p.n.p. to submit. a lot. and thousands of police reports need to submit to the supreme court a spy. give its investigation but for what i know and please correct me from wrong these it's not been submitted right jim and i did philippine national police if i

a restaurant attack in northern iraq. containing a ball alex break as the world health organization meets to decide what to do vaccinations on the way to stop the spread of the deadly virus. life and prison for one of the world's most dangerous criminals when live in new york for a look at the saga of drug kingpin. and in sport rory mcilroy is helping local knowledge can guide him to open champion championship success the northern irishman is on home soil as he targets a 1st major title inside. we begin with a developing story out of the northern iraqi city of ed being which the deputy consul general has been shot dead at least one other person has been reportedly

killed these are the latest pictures from the scene in a suburb of. well the incident happened just after 2 pm local time inside a restaurant called that's where the turkish diplomat was dining. sim course who is standing by for us in istanbul with reaction out of turkey but 1st let's go to our correspondent in baghdad asama been job dave is joining us from there what are you hearing what's the latest that you're hearing about this incident asama. elizabeth it was a brazen attack in broad daylight where multiple assailants came to words this restaurant and one gunman opened fire at the consul general according to intelligence sources they have told us that he was killed at point blank range and it appears that these assailants knew exactly who to target and how to target them it is a unique incident of its kind that we've seen we have not seen diplomats coming under attack or any threat levels being raised for diplomats as security has been

relaxed in northern iraq as well as other parts of iraq after the defeat of eisel 2 years ago but it is a region which is a complicated myriad of problems around it it's not just isolate that the forces in the kurdish region have been facing they've also faced the p.k. rebels which turkey. dinner labeled as terrorists also kurdish fighters which iran labeled as terrorists and or both of these countries in the last few days have been carrying out attacks in northern iraq against these kurdish fighters so far no group has claimed responsibility we do not know what was the water of this attack but it appears that this was a calculated incident of the iraqi foreign ministry saying that it condemns this attack and the kurdish security establishment released a statement assuring people in this northern part of the country that it is doing all it can to secure the area and make sure that it provide safety and security to all of the people the area itself has been cordoned off an investigation is

underway providing safety and security asama again this is a relatively peaceful area especially compared to the rest of iraq. absolutely that is why you see not just diplomats but foreigners as well going out to various places this is the location of this restaurant is between an upscale neighborhood called dream city and car and both of these places are frequented by not just iraqis and kurds but also other nationalities people who move freely between these areas there is a lot of non-government organizations which are carrying out aid work in iraq who base themselves in northern iraq because of safety as well so it has taken the iraqi at the kurdish security forces by surprise it is a relatively peaceful area but it has seen some turmoil as well in the past but

given the current circumstances yes security was relaxed but it goes to show that the threat isn't completely over asama thank you for that some of the but the latest live in baghdad let's go to 7 course you know it is joining us live from istanbul talk us through what the turkish government is saying about the center. well actually they are a little bit conflicting statements both from the turkish. side and the iraqi side for instance like an hour ago turkey's foreign minister delivered a short press brave in which he said that there were 3 perpetrators. in erbil and he said that besides the particle still general who got killed during this assault 2 iraqi citizens got shot as well and those iraqi citizens were sitting at the next table of the turkish diplomats and one of them got killed one of them got wounded evelyn that according to his foreign minister statement of

course turkey pledged to send a geisha in from i don't you know due to follow up this investigation close to the investigation which is conducted by the iraqi officials and the kurdish officials. but the p.k. k. the out the kurdistan workers party right now is actually suspect it's by many experts right now however they deny their involvement in this assault but there is a the turkish experts are focusing on it. as there is a change in the leadership of they were going to say. thank you for that so then of course with the latest live from istanbul we are going to get more on this we're joined by ha 2nd the 2 turkey political risk analyst at i.h.s. market and he's joining us live from london very good to have you with us on al-jazeera so what do you make of this incident and do you think that it does have anything to do with the turkey's military operations in northern iraq against.

groups that turkey deems to be an extension of the kurdistan workers party or the p.k. k. in this part of iraq. it has everything to do with the k.k.k. presence in the area. operations which turkey has been conducting in the past several months against. what we saw last week was the fascination of a high profile p.k. figure tracked by the turkish forces. and that was the result of an airstrike and this is likely to have been a direct retaliation to that and also. a warning to. me. about. cooperation with the turkish forces. but of course that can. be attacked as an infringement of

a problem and it will be conducted by the team that's right mr 2nd because our turkey's operations in northern iraq actually legal. but that's really you hear different voices expressing different ideas about that on the one hand because g.e. is turning a blind eye to the operation and some might even say they're cooperate. but officially be backed the government has not necessarily invited turkey to be. about instead they're not doing anything about it but it is really in this gray area. which which is allowed turkey to continue its operation. the 2nd we thank you for your time and your analysis on this that is a 2nd live in london thank you. we're going to move on to other news around the world health organization is meeting in geneva to decide if a ball outbreak in the eastern democratic republic of congo is an international

health emergency there is concern that the outbreak could spread quickly after 2 infected people died and densely populated areas the water in rwanda and uganda the virus has claimed at least 1600 lives in democratic republic of congo in the past year. there are fears that the epidemic n d r congo is on the verge of becoming a regional outbreak that's after a woman died of the virus and d r c after selling fish in a village in uganda she came to contact with at least 60 people on her journey to and from him pawned way market there's also been a case of a bowler in the city of goma the world health organization chief described this case as a potential game changer as it would be difficult to track the spread of virus across an urban population in 2 rwanda a vaccination drive targeting those who may have come into contact with a bottle of victims has been ramped up well let's get more on this we're joined by

derek gather at a viral adjust and lecture at the department of biomedical and life sciences at lancaster university and he's joining us live from lancaster very good to have you with us on our dizzier when we look at the latest victim is those of a woman who worked in the market and a preacher how hard is that for thought is to try and track down everyone that these people had contact with. it's a very difficult proposition indeed we reckon that there's about 90 percent. efficiency in tracking down contacts so but that is the 10 percent that i'm not trying to turn that really constitute a problem because that gives you a 10 percent chance that was somebody who has been infected by a case that will then go into effect somebody else and it's really difficult given the security situation in the east india r.c.f. movement at the borders there's been a lot of checking of people that have been crossing. crossing points and in fact 21

cases have been identified since it began over a year ago of people who tested positive for border with a who had a high temperature with one of the 3rd more to chicks that are used to portals who then went on to test positive for both of either sort 21 of those potential cross-grained of transmission of ins have been prevented which is clearly very good news but we have recently had these these other cases where it's been transmitted to uganda and this together you mention the security situation there are of course other huge challenges in this region there is very poor infrastructure distrust and health workers as and a lack of access to basic medical care to. yes i was created 25 percent of people in a recent survey in the area by harvard university researchers didn't believe in the existence of of a board virus and 60 percent or more of the population said that they didn't trust

the government to give them proper information about breaks or public health workers are working under a very. difficult burden here to try to convince the population that the that we need to be vaccinated having said that what we have managed to get the vaccine only to about $160000.00 people and this is far more people than we anticipated originally would need to be vaccinated and i think one of the things that the world health organization will probably be considering it is whether we need to move from a contact vaccination campaign a ring vaccination campaign where we will only try to identify contacts to vaccinate them to a mass vaccination campaign where we try to evacuate everybody that lives within a certain area the problem with that that was that we need will need millions of doses of vaccine not just tens or hundreds of thousands let's together thank you very much for your time and your insights on the that is derek gatherer live and lancaster thank you appending more ahead on the news hour.
