lane upon last year's life and mission are in jeopardy. witness buckeye are caught in the crossfire on al jazeera. the more promising news in the battle against covert 19, modern us says early results show its vaccine is nearly 95 percent effective. but there are warnings against complacency as u.s. infections rise by a 1000000 in just a week. hello, i'm barbara. sorry. you're watching out as they are live from london also coming up . president trump's national security advisor says he hopes for progress to end the qatar blockade. in the next 2 months, ethiopia sends reinforcements to t.

gray and rejects calls for mediation to end the conflict with the northern regions of all there is and al jazeera obtains recordings of one of the world's most wanted men, trying to negotiate unity from prosecution. illa think you for joining us there is more good news in the battle against covert 19 the u.s. pharmaceutical firm modernists says early results from trials show its vaccine is 94.5 percent affective far exceeding expectations. we looked out about $20000000.00 doses of the vaccine at the end of this year on year. and we're looking forward to making about $500000000.00 to a 1000000000 doses next year. but that is going to be a 247 operation. it won't be maternal alone that solves this problem. it's going to require many vaccines as we've been saying for

a while. but we've got to be able to do our part from here forward. this is really important. well, the news comes a week after a fines or a buy on tech announced that its vaccine was 90 percent effective. it means the u.s. could actually have 2 vaccines also rise for emergency use the next month. and modernise does not require all truck old storage. well, the vaccine can't come soon. enough. infections in the u.s. have risen by a 1000000 in just the last week, taking its total to more than 11000000 cases. well, the head of the world health organization says the new vaccines are encouraging, but he's warned people against becoming less vigilant. this is not the time for complacency. while we continue to receive encouraging news about core view of 19 vaccines and remain cautiously optimistic about the potential for a new tools to start to arrive in the coming months. right now,

we are extremely concerned by the surging cases we're seeing in some countries, particularly in europe and the americas. well that speak to white house, correspondent, kimberly halkett in washington. d.c.,, great news for the world. really great news for the u.s., especially because the 2nd vaccine doesn't seem to need to be stored at such low temperatures. and when you think about it, it is 2 announcements of promising vaccines within one week. and that is what the stock market appears to be reacting to in the united states. in fact, donald trump calling attention to that and also claiming credit for the development of these vaccines. something he did promise would happen before the election or by the end of the year as a result of his operation warp speed. now, in terms of who gets this vaccine? well, according to the term administration, it will be most vulnerable populations that will be getting it 1st that includes

the elderly and those with compromised immune systems. but also what we know is that in fact, this could be 1st being distributed about 20000000 doses as early as december and the top infectious disease specialist, dr. anthony found, she says in fact that this vaccine is what he says is as good as it gets. so the good news is there, and you mentioned that what dr. anthony found was going to say, i think we can listen to that clip. now the virus is not going to stop and call a timeout while things change. the virus is just going to keep going, the process is just going to keep going. this is something that just is now going in the very, very strong right direction. the vaccines are effective, we want to get it approved as quickly as we possibly can. we want to get doses to people starting in december, and then we want to really get the ball rolling as we get into january, february, and march. we want to smooth

a process for that and the way you do that is play sensually having the 2 groups speak to each other and exchange information. and so combine the anthony family. they're talking about a potential smooth transition. and that potentially, you know, this move a way of making sure that these vaccine or vaccines have the impact that they should. but we know that all of this is happening while president donald trump is still refusing to concede the election to joe biden. yeah, what dr. that he found she was talking there. let me set that clip up for you a little bit to put into context is what they're saying is because of the results of the u.s. election and the failure of donald trump to concede what's happening is that his administration is not cooperating with the but actually incoming byte in the administration in terms of this distribution. so what dr. anthony fauci is referring to is not only is this without precedent, at least in modern history, but also this will impact the ability to get this out as quickly as possible. come january and i gratian, month, february, march, and as you mentioned,

the start of this bulletin. barbara infections are rising in the united states. 1000000 cases as of sunday, but the deaths 245000, we know that the deaths are rising in 31 states around the united states. and 2 states now posing very strict lockdown measures. now once again, donald trump's administration accused of hampering the efforts because it has not contacted the biden team. and instead of dealing with this matter challenging the election results can really help with the latest from washington d.c. . kimberly, thank you all incidentally, any time now we are expecting to hear from president elect joe biden on how he plans to rebuild his economy. after that, that much done by the pandemic joins us live now from wilmington, delaware, of course, that is president elect by the nz home state. what are we expecting to hear from

both president elect biden and his vice president elect a borrow almost certainly were to hear. i'm sure the congratulations as president biden has already said on twitter to this optimistic development, which we just heard about the vaccine having a 90 close to 95 percent advocacy rate. but certainly, the biden transition team isn't counting on that to be an immediate fix to the solution before addressing immediate fix of the situation before addressing the economic problem. and what we're seeing is, in the last 3 months, the u.s. economy has bounced back a bit. $3000000.00 jobs have been added. the unemployment rate is back down to under 7 percent. however, there is much concern among economists that with the surge in cases in hospitalizations and in deaths, while the economic pain is a lagging indicator and that is what the country is once again bracing for as more

businesses close once again. now, what will joe biden and they'll in his economic plan that he'll discuss shortly. well, he's offered some broad, sweeping statements about what he wants to accomplish, getting more americans employed. he's also backed, previously the democrats asking congress for a 1.5 trillion dollar ecomog economic rescue package. similar to what's congress's already done in the spring. this is money that would go to individual american households, as well as to local governments that are really strapped for money to continue mitigation of this epidemic. the challenge though is joe biden, that president elect cannot accomplish these goals without the help of some republicans. if the congressional makeup remains what it is today, republicans of course, control the senate. democrats have the house of representatives,

and the parties would have to compromise, which has not happened up to this point. and key to all of this is january. there will be to congressional runoffs in the state of georgia, where the balance of the senate is at stake. if democrats were to win both of those races, then they would have the majority. and potentially they could push through biden's policies. however, if the congress remains divided, or even more importantly, if there simply is not enough time to wait for the new administration, is that still several months in the distant future, while the economy continues to suffer today and may very well be that the 2 parties need to come together and come up with a more narrowly crafted plan. we know republicans also want to pass an economic rescue plan. however, one that's not as expensive, they believe that the economy is more resilient than what the democrats believe. so

really we know that joe biden has been meeting with business leaders and he's been also discussing vaccine distribution directly with the drug manufacturers. so despite not having much help in getting this transition officially started, joe biden's transition team says that they are planning ahead. and we will shortly will hear what this economic plan is. we will indeed has your customer the latest from wilmington, delaware, heidi, thank you. and you can see there, the podium is all set up, waiting for the president elect to make that speech about the future of the u.s. economy. which of course is like much of the world in dire straits right now because of the pandemic. we'll cross live to that as soon as we hear from the president elect. meanwhile, president trump's national security adviser says the 1st step to solving the qatar gulf blockade is to allow planes to fly over saudi and buy her a new air space operator. brian was speaking at a global security forum hosted in part by catherine. he said he'd like to see

permission for flights granted within the next 70 days before, a transition of office, saudi arabia, the u.a.e., egypt, and behind imposed a land sea and air blockade on cattle in 2007. so we'd like to get that rift saw we felt the salt in the air when it gets you that you refer to that color air. was it because it was able to fly over saudi or space, or bahraini or space, is an important 1st step in solving that rift. i'd like to see that get done before . if we end up with office, i'd like to see that get done in the next 70 days. and i think there's a possibility for a look at those foreign minister also spoke at the forum and said there are no winners in the blockade. we are hopeful that this any moment and what, what we need to like now is to have a serious engagement in a good faith with the other countries. and this is what i was prepared to do at any

time. they would be ready for this. they would see it at that ready for this and as i told. 'd you, at the beginning, there is no, we're not out of this crisis and all of us on losing. and if the crisis, when all of us will be 0 in on what people will be 0 in for the future. well, rami who are e, is the director of global engagement and senior public policy fellow at the american university of beirut. he expressed doubt that the trumpet ministration will achieve any resolution i think, given the track record of the trumpet, ministration, and the role of individuals including secretaries of state and others who have tried to resolve the blockade issue. i would not put a lot of weight on this right now. we have officials saying things that sound good and one hopes that they will lead to an end to the blockade. but the tradition in the trump administration is that the president should feelings on any one day or

any morning or evening, or really would determine what happens in terms of foreign policy. that the policy has been erratic. if he appears government is sending reinforcements to the northern tier grey region, despite international calls for mediation, hundreds have died in the latest conflict which began almost 2 weeks ago and has pulled in neighboring every trail. the fighting started while prime minister i.b.m. had ordered an offensive against the greys rulers for defying his authority. his government has refused calls for negotiations from some african leaders, including the president of uganda. the tikrit people's liberation front which governs the region of 5000000 people was in power for decades before i.b.m. into took office in 2000. any phone lines and the internet have been cut in the t.v. region since the offensive began. well,

mohammed though has been monitoring developments from the city of gold out on the border of the tikrit region. there is no letup in the fighting between the few appears, national defense forces and that mistrust of the to great region in no fun. ethiopia, here in the city where we are, we've seen buses full of troops as well as vehicles carrying food and medical supplies headed towards the border. them out of eden has with it to grow a region. we've been told they are enforcement for the troops and government troops who are already engaged in the fighting, which is now at the 12th with the to gripe people's liberation front. the government has been claiming huge victories and in the past 24 hours have said they have taken over the town of matzah and say, now they have their sights on mckillop a couple of the region. this is of course something that has been constantly denied

by the to great administration, its leader debrecen government. kyle has been speaking in the past few hours and he has called on the united nations and the african union to condemn what he calls attacks on civilians by the ethiopian national defense forces, including the use of drones, something that's been denied by addis ababa in the past few days, to grab people's liberation from tough taken the war to a new level, using missiles, not just against towns like where we also bought about the couple of the region where they targeted the airports, but of also sent missiles across the border to us model something diplomats say could drop at a train and make this war international. tens of thousands of people have fled the violence in northern into sudan. most fiji's, arriving with very few belongings. humanitarian workers say that they're struggling to cope and the scale of the crisis is growing. al-jazeera stephen morgan has more

was convicted and sentenced to 12 years in jail, subject to an appeal for crimes related to wanting to be back in 2018. jolo put all the blame on but really the fugitive to justice has proved challenging. despite 2, interpol red notices against him and multiple passports canceled. he continues to evade authorities and travel. the only way they're going to happen is through corruption and through the full resources of one or more governments. but according to the fugitive life on the run is not an easy question. because 2 years on and he's still paying millions of dollars to lawyers and p.r. around the world. marianne jolie alleges iraq,

and you can watch the full exclusive investigation of j. lo hunt for a fugitive. the financier at the heart of malaysia's one and be the scandal at 20 g.m.t. . arminius, foreign minister, has resigned amid the fallout over the country's, the solution to hand territory, to azerbaijan, to end the fighting over the disputed region of the corner back prime minister nico passionately, and is on the also, on the pressure to step down, speaking publicly for the 1st time since the deal was announced, questioning him, took responsibility for the loss of territory, but he reiterated that he will stay in office and bring stability to the country. there have been widespread protests against the concessions that were made or the bell. i mean, it isn't the armenian capital yet of alan and has more now on the foreign minister's resignation. well, already heard is actually from his books person who posted on social media. the

letter that the foreign minister gave to prime minister hesham un. and actually it was a handwritten letter, very short, basically say, thank you for working with you, but i am not doing that anymore. now the background to that according to the spokesperson, is that he didn't agree with the prime minister question you said during, in an extraordinary session of parliament, that session was only with his party because the opposition refused to attend the session simply because resignation and talk about resignation was not on the table during the session, the prime minister said that the fate of shushi call it had always been part of the negotiations between the 2 countries over the past 20 years, where the spokesperson of the foreign minister said that that was absolutely not true, so they can see that prime minister tries to get himself out of trouble. he gets

even more in deep water moldova's president elect maya son do is promising balanced ties with russia and the european union after her convincing victory in sunday's runoff. the pro european candidate beat, the provision incumbent eagle into dawn, who's conceded defeat and call for calm for his supporters. from the capital case now. oh yeah. i'm going to craft room at her party's headquarters. moldova's next president acknowledged her when it was a decisive majority from my asunder who now becomes the 1st woman ever to lead this country. the far western candidate laid out have plans which sees moldova forging closer ties with europe. despite the optimism, it is a huge responsibility that lies ahead. now the most difficult part comes, it was not easy to win this election. it's going to be more difficult to implement

the commitments that i made. after examining victory at my assigned, you will have her work cut out for her demick corruption, political instability, and economic hardship have all contributed to making moldova one of the poorest countries in europe. and she will also be overseeing a parliament that is stacked against her. the party that fact the incumbent on the socialist have the majority in parliament, they supported his vision to keep moldova firmly within moscow's sphere of influence. but not one that found favor with the electorate. even though don had to concede the last thing that was needed was instability. i'm not calling for people to take to the streets, we don't need destabilization. the situation is already difficult. crucial to the results was the diaspora vote. a lack of job opportunity at home has driven hundreds of thousands of moldovans to go abroad for work. 93 percent of them voted for some do as moldova, and as a new phase,

it will require cooperation with its neighbors to open its economy and tackle corruption. encouraging moldova's to stay by creating new opportunities that will be a large part of that, as well as guaranteeing transparency in an x. soviet nation that is still living in the shadow of its past. so on a day ago, al jazeera english. now, peru's congress is meeting again this hour to debate, who should take over as president, after failing to reach agreement on sunday. mass protests have been taking place since president d.m.v. scatter, who commands popular support was impeached last week. his successor man, when medina lasted just 5 days before resigning on sunday, after 2 people died in protests against his government. the latest name being put forward is francisco sagacity. a 76 year old former world bank official, who would be the nation's 3rd leader in a week. but an essential joins us live now from marianne. it's pretty extraordinary,

really when you look at all that happened there in a week, what are the chances that peru may actually end up with a new president today? well i think the chances are very high now barbara, because there were actually 2 lists put forward this morning for congress to vote on them. one, the one that you just mentioned with the, from the purple party, which is the only party that voted in block against the impeachment of former president, got out the other list with a group of legislators who voted in favor of the peach mint last week. now that list has been pulled out just a few minutes pulled back just a few minutes ago. so right now there's only one list. there was one this last night that was also put forward by consensus on in the end they voted against it.

so the chances are high, but we don't really know. however, it is very important, i think that's the 2nd, this has been pulled back because protesters are already around the surroundings of congress. also, they are already marching in different cities. protesters have been pushing for a legitimate government and they don't want anything less than people with clean slates in the new government. protesters are fed up with corruption fed up with legislators who have criminal investigations and with religious illegitimate government. so it be wise if you will, that legislators vote in favor of this new of this new list that should happen in a very soon. and also, mary and a human rights groups have reported the disappearance of protesters. any news on

those lines? well barbara, there were between 41 and 45 protesters who were unaccounted for. most of them are back home. they're mostly young students. a fill about 8 are unaccounted for, but this morning the attorney general of the country have a launched a preliminary investigation against the former president former interim president manuel. maybe, you know, his chief cabinet, or prime minister and the interior minister for gross human rights violations because of the homicides of the 2 young students that died during the protests and also charges for the enforcement disappearances and abuse of power. what has said is that crimes will not go unpunished, but in the centuries with the latest from lima in peru,

mariana for now. thank you for astronauts are making history on their way to the international space station in the us as 1st full mission on board, a privately owned spacecraft. and there it goes. the space x. rocket carrying the dragon crew caps. you all blasted off from kennedy kennedy space center in florida delayed to 24 hours by bad weather. this follows a test mission into orbit in april space x. owned by the tech entrepreneur a long mosque that previously been used only for unmanned supply trips. it's now planning to operate what's being described as a spat space taxi service. in the next 15 months, we should be flying roughly 7 dragon missions. and this mission represents the initiation of a dragon in orbit,

continuously knocking on wood. and certainly is really the beginning of a new era in human spaceflight. and you can find more on that story and everything else that we've been covering and see the top story. they are about the potential new vaccine all on the web site, al jazeera dot com time . now for a reminder of the top stories on al-jazeera u.s. pharmaceutical company, modern us says early results from its covert 1000 vaccine show it's 94.5 percent effective. this means the u.s. could have 2 vaccines authorized for emergency use next month, after fines or by on take an ounce to its facts. scene was 90 percent effective. last week. a 1000000 infections were recorded in the u.s. . meanwhile, in just the past week, taking its total to more than $11000000.00.
