unprompted and uninterrupted discussions from our london broadcast center on al-jazeera. i just think it's an embarrassment. quite frankly, us president elect joe biden says donald trump's refusal to concede will not help his legacy or stop the transfer of power problems obama knew watching on to serialize my headquarters here in doha, coming up in the next 30 minutes. welcome to the program. we begin in the u.s. where president elect joe biden has called all chance refusal to concede the

presidential election and then barrus mint. but biden says nothing will stop the transfer of power in january and that's despite the trumpet. ministrations reportedly refusing to assist the president elect's transition team and official has more washington d.c. . well, donald trump is keeping a low profile. joe biden is putting himself front and center. this was an event to discuss the affordable care act, but the president elect questions on other topics and he had a message to the man he will replace at his refusal to accept the result. i just think it's an embarrassment. quite frankly, the only thing that how can we say this tax? i think it will not help the president's legacy. i think that i know from my discussions with foreign leaders of us for that they

are hopeful that the united states democratic institutions are viewed once again as going strong and endure. and, but i think at the end of the day, you know, it's all going to come to fruition in january 20th. all foreign leaders, a calling joe biden to congratulate him. trump, secretary of state america's top diplomat, has called the result into question. it will be a smooth transition to a 2nd trimester action. right? we're ready. the world is watching what's taking place. we're going to come of the votes. when the process is complete, electors elected. there's a process. the constitution lays it out pretty clearly. various government agencies and departments. it's been reported have been ordered by the white house not to help with the presidential transition, because the result is still in doubt. that hasn't stopped joe biden, pushing ahead with planning for day one. even without the immediate assistance of the trumpet ministration. and the leader of the republicans in the senate says that

really won't create problems. i don't think anything that occurred. so for iraq's, an ordinary one, $200.00 soldiers lost their lives or depass 6 weeks. i mean, it has now also lost all 7 as every region surrounding the un klav it had occupied since $994.00, as well as a total of shusha in the corner. it's hard to swallow. this is a very difficult time for me and for prime minister and he called bashing me on that he was already under international pressure, just signed a cease fire agreement. and now is having an even harder time at home, explaining to people that this was the best option. in the current situation, there was no chance of making another decision, a plan to give more details such as why and what the reason was behind last month's events. i can't do right now for one simple reason because stopping military actions is the main focus right now. and if i say something, i couldn't danger people. but bush in the end hasn't managed to convince many

people, even among those who are calling for his resignation. yes, so what i've done my, i'm an ordinary mother, but what happened is horrible. every day we were given good news and suddenly this happens. good or bad. i don't know, but i don't want an agreement at the price of all those innocent children who died . it should have been done earlier, he needs to answer our questions. some of the russian peacekeepers have already arrived in the media. they will be deployed in to guarantee to cease fire. but for armenians, this sense of loss that azerbaijan felt for needy 3 decades is just beginning to seep in. but at that hamid president, what he calls a year patient reports from the capitol years in the making either by johnnie's or jubilant after the announcement of a deal to end the conflict in the corner. even physically stop some people from

showing their joy, hundreds of thousands of displaced people live, want to return. now that seems possible to return to the place where my mother or grandmother were born from. and to me, i can't even describe this feeling. it's impossible to express all this after a steady gains on the battlefield since september, the deal has been made possible largely because of other by john's advanced military power. the president acknowledged his forces as he declared the conflict over god bless heroes as a result of their heroism and self-sacrifice, we return to our learns that soldiers can recover soon and return to normal life. i have called it an armenian defeat, agreed with russian relations. and the deal will hold onto the areas of the book

during the recent fighting, i mean, year has agreed to withdraw from several of the nearby areas. in the coming few weeks, russian peacekeepers will remain in the region, but an extended 5 years in return other by john will stop its advances and the guns on the front lines have fallen silent. as it would join the army that we are capable to liberate our troops, we have liberated. now we also showed that we have the political will to stop the hostilities and to continue negotiations. many people in the capital don't completely trust russian peacekeepers and wanted their forces to retake all of the disputed nagorno-karabakh region. the turkish foreign minister called the deal a secret success of the very president that peacekeepers in addition to the russians. but it's not yet decided exactly how those troops will be deployed. other by johnny, say, a few weeks of war have achieved more than 2 decades of diplomacy. but maintaining peace is not going to be easy as thousands of people have been killed in both sides

and more than a 1000000 have been displaced. and what i mean. another write down. some of the must protests are taking place across peru after martin visit car was removed as president protesters force with police outside congress in the capital, lima. his car remains very popular. this point blank is ations of corruption that led to his impeachment. and he was accused of accepting hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes when he was regional governor, but denies any wrongdoing. but marina was sworn in as proof new president of iran choose the. now the next presidential elections are in april next year. well still ahead here on our sara lebanon prepares to lock down again as hospitals are overwhelmed with current virus cases. and the economy is pushed towards total collapse and mexico looks to go back in time with a controversial new park that could be a breath of fresh air for the residents of the capital. stay with us here on just

whose bases they are tucked as it would have us look at them as he did or not they . we could hear a lot of gunfire. the whole village panicked, but thanks to the heart of regional special forces who were able to save a lot of the national defense forces. if your peers, federal government continued to claim more victories on tuesday, with its defense forces saying they had seized the airport in to cry. near the border with sudan and eritrea. they also paraded some militiamen from the to cry. people's liberation front, who they said had defected. from political trend because we must not go to wolf the post reasons we should be defending our national unity. so the young men are to gray, should not go to war because of a telephone and internet communications blackout. integrate, has made it difficult to verify the situation on the ground. the african union is the latest to join international calls for an immediate cease fire and dialogue to a peaceful solution. a u.

chairperson, most of achim hamad, appealed for an immediate cessation of hostilities and called on parties to respect human rights and ensure the protection of civilians. the government, however, is adamant that it won't talk until the opposition achieves its objectives of bringing the to great leadership to justice and confiscating or destroying artillery and other arms. the group has, it's in possession. what we know was they had some missiles which could go 2300 kilometers. that means they could to strike a marriage and they could also strike our followers. they could strike us matter. that's easier. it was in their brain. so that's why the government asked us to destroy it. hundreds of people have already been killed in the conflict. that's been mostly causes treated in western to grey, close to the border with sudan and eritrea. according to diplomats, a large number of refugees, including troops are said to have already crossed into sudan. there are fears this

conflict could trigger a civil war in the most populous nation, in the horn of africa. to grant account for 6 percent of ethiopians, but have dominated politics for 30 years. before prime minister rule rejoined mr. prime minister going reforms are attempting to bring about a unitary system of government, which destroys the current federal one. diplomats are now wanted, the longer the conflict takes, the more difficult it might be to bring back the particular a region into if you're pressed for the ration of regional states. i discovered an investigation by the vatican has revealed that pope john paul the 2nd, failed to stop the rise of a disgraced cardinal. despite having knowledge of his sexual misconduct, theodore mccarrick was allowed to rise through the catholic church's ranks. despite a long history of abuse allegations, against adults and minors, the report does not accuse the current pontiff pope francis of trying to protect

the u.s. cardinal. well, timonen is president of the survivors network of those abused by priests. he says, accountability continues to be a widespread issue. this is nothing new is fires, the church protecting a stone. and the problem with this is sexual abuse continues when they cover up and that's a problems many more people are armed. when there is no punishment or no accountability, and then this $400.00 pages, there is nothing about accountability, there's nothing about punishment, there's nothing about steps towards a future. so we can disorder, have put out this 400 page and somehow step by step forward. but that's not enough, but there needs to be accountability. there needs to be some changes, and the pope can make a movie, has the courage to do so. and so far we haven't seen him with any courage. he can

make a dramatic step right this minute and command every bishop and as a power to do so. he can command every bishop to report all sexual abuse to civil society. he has not done that here in the united states that is supposed to be the rule are not always followed, but that is a rule, but it should be worldwide, there should be used 0 tolerance. if there's a bishop to covers up, they should be removed. and there's several bishops that should be removed because of this report. lebanon's government has reluctantly imposed a 2nd nationwide lockdown as it struggles to control the such new infections that comes into effect on saturday with hospitals unable to cope with the number of patients and with the economy already in crisis. it vests pushing more people into poverty, said the host of a poll from beirut. lebanon is losing its battle with corona virus, and the winter season has yet to set in. doctors are treating patients in this

hospital's emergency wards in beirut because beds are no longer available. that country's health sector is overwhelmed. we are seeing so many patients that are being going from hospital to an all therefore may need 2 days, 3 days over, over 245 days. just looking for a hospital to receive these patients. and they are not finding a place to be admitted. and at the end, they are coming to the last hospital where they are admitted and they are not doing good more than half of the nearly 50000 active cases in the nation of 6000000. people have occurred in the past few weeks. the main gate for they are, is completely closed because we cannot anymore for today, or for at least the coming hours to receive any new patients. people are not abiding by the rule of the event of measures. and there is no court order from the authorities that is know what's on the board and the major city. but in the remote

area, the authorities have responded to a call by health workers to shut down the country. the lockdown excludes the airport and essential businesses that will last 2 weeks before being eased. the private sector is not happy already. businesses have been closing down as an economic crisis impoverishes more than half of the population. and i know you all know, put your money where your days people can't afford to eat. it's a difficult time. a lockdown hits many people. instead, people should cooperate and we mosques in the authority should be strict in forcing rule. this is a victim and it will be the 2nd nationwide closure since march. at that time, the cash strapped government couldn't help the poor since then. many more have become vulnerable, but authorities say they have little option to contain the outbreak. intensive care units have reached a critical capacity. the positivity rate is high relative to testing, which means the virus is spreading quickly. a few months ago,

there were dozens of cases a day now it reaches 2000. infection among health workers is also rising. the lockdown may give hospitals time to prepare for the difficult days, but without a long term strategy. it will create new challenges for many lebanese, on the brink of bankruptcy. senator al jazeera beirut news of a potential crowd of ours that scene has raised hopes across the world. but just who will be able to get it once it's been approved and how much it will cost has led to much debate that the makers of pfizer and biotech said that they have the capacity to produce $1350000000.00 doses by the end of next year. now they've, priced it at just under $40.00 for 2 toes course in the u.s., but they haven't promised to make it available on a not for profit basis. that's provoked criticism from rights groups, especially as analysts say, could generate about 3500000000 dollars next year. but biotech has assured buyers,

it'll be priced well below typical market rates. as paul brennan reports. the news that the pfizer bio and texaco had vaccine had shown 90 percent effectiveness in early trials. led to a bounce on the stock markets in a rush of orders from across the world. the u.k. had already preordered 40000000 doses. the european union will sign a deal for 300000000 doses on wednesday, and germany says it hopes to finalize a deal for 100000000 doses in the coming days. we don't know really how well this actually works in older people will ask to see if there are enough data to tell us that pregnant women have been studies, studies that children are just beginning well, long journeys 1st steps. that's wonderful. it looks as though we're making progress, but in africa and asia, lower and middle income countries are looking on in dismay. they're part of a joint initiative called kovacs,

which relies on the financial support of richer countries and in the race to vaccinate. charity apparently begins at home, wealthier nations representing just 13 percent of the world's population have already preordered 51 percent of the production of the leading covert vaccine candidates around 1300000000 dosed. those have already been bought up by the united, states, the u.k. the european union, and japan. the u.k. has preordered enough for 5 doses for each citizen that's more per capita than any other country. in contrast, the $92.00 countries relying on the international kovacs initiative have secured only a fraction of the $1000000000.00 doses they need for even one dose per person. that means around half of the world's population is being left exposed. it's a phenomenon called vaccine nationalism. the hoarding of physical backing supplies is regrettable but unsurprising. but the hoarding of intellectual property and know our own how to manufacture scenes is an unacceptable barrier to rapidly scaling up

production the vaccine around the world. and it only serves the purpose of profit maximizing. it's not the only issue the pfizer vaccine needs to be stored at minus 70 degrees, given the volume and the lawsuits you vaccine distribution. regardless of whether it's $2.00 to $8.00 degrees c. or at minus 80, no vaccine coaching is ready capable of meeting this far removed from r. . and there are also concerns that the intense competition to produce a vaccine is risky. on tuesday, russia announced it's rolling out its sputnik 5 vaccine for domestic use, despite the fact that late stage trials haven't yet finished random samples of public opinion across europe reveal a broadly even split between those keen to be vaccinated. and those who would prefer to wait until much more data is available. paul brennan, al-jazeera. the work has begun on building what will become one of the world's

largest urban parks. it's hoped the project on the outskirts of mexico's capital could light mitigate air pollution. shot holeman explains are from mexico city limits because government canceled the $13000000000.00 airport midway through its construction. it caused immense controversy. have a look at what they are now. planning to put in its place, one of the biggest urban parks in the world, if it works out twice the size of manhattan architect and yet here to veneer is the man with the vision. what a lot of obama's had a lot of where we are going to recover bodies of water. and that will help us recreate a bit of what the valley of mexico looked like before an experience that even though we shouldn't be, will be almost new. mexico city's inhabitants, 500 years ago. vast areas of the capital were underwater to the extent that a prime mode of transport was the canoe. the park aims to bring some of that prehistoric flavor back. recovering $600.00 hectares of lakes and lagoons,

but they'll be more than just water on offer. the plan is for basketball courts 5 a side football pitches, gyms, picnic and camping areas to the hope is that some of mexico city's poorest neighborhoods, which partly surround the park, will benefit with bus routes planned from those communities, some of whom, but will not do it which is a story, many of us think that it's a bit of social justice bringing cultural support and environmental facilities to populations that were traditionally abandoned or very little care for. many of the workers, like you say, a basket, lived close by us to what she thought the part she's hoping to create. i think there's good and safe, but the hope is that this is for my children and grandchildren that they can enjoy this because if they do what they say they will, it'll be a very big, i trust to god that i'll see it. but if not, at least my family will be the part should have an impact on the whole capital. the idea is that the boss,

quantity of water and plants here will help reduce air contamination and heat in the city who sounds promising. but so far there's little more than this nurseries of local flora, just starting to grow. it doesn't look like much now, but the hope is that these little native plants are going to be the seed from which entire barren areas on this natural park. a reef forested to be as full of life as they were centuries before. the aim is to open by next year and have it finished by 2024 the end of the current government's term in office. many still believe that government made a big mistake in scrapping the apple. it's the part pans out. at the very least, it will be a real consolation john home and how does it your charges there are means the whole robin, a reminder of our top stories, u.s.

president elect joe biden has called donald trump's refusal to concede the presidential election as an embarrassment. but biden says nothing will stop the transfer of power in january. i just think it's embarrassing. quite frankly, the only thing that how can we save this tax and i think it will more.
