7:19 am
kingdom's human rights abuses. a counter summit is being held online to highlight some of those diplomatic as a james base reports from the united nations riyadh to the place where the g 20 summit would have been held there using a giant projector to display the images of the participants. but because of covert 19, they'll be taking part virtually lessening the impact of this annual meeting of world leaders and of the efforts of its host, saudi arabia to rehabilitate its reputation. and the redlines, what the red lines were a sort of a counter some it's already been held online to highlight human rights abuses ranging from the murder of the germans jamal khashoggi, to its attacks on civilians during the war in yemen. and the continued detention of political and human rights activists in saudi jails. the sister of luxury now how flew a women's rights campaigner in prison for 2 and a half years was among those who spoke. she wasn't executed,
7:20 am
elected. why did sexually harassed threatened with rape and this was, it was then they sell your fish as one of them being a soldier. i mean, and yes, it's very kind of men m.b.'s a reference to crown prince mohammed bin. so a man he'll be concerned to see leading political figures from the us democratic party taking part in this event. i have also spoken now one, saudi authorities arrested peaceful activists. the incoming democratic president joe biden has promised a much more clear eyed policy regarding the kingdom of u.n. headquarters. i asked one participant of the g. 20, the secretary general for his view of saudi's human rights record. i'm talking about the lack of proper accountability for the murder of jamal khashoggi, the continued detention of political prisoners, including women activists and reports of torture. secretary,
7:21 am
or you have the chance to address all of this fully. or you can dodge my question. but wouldn't that be it? wouldn't that be, wouldn't that be effectively greenlighting more abuse by the saudi regime in what i've just said, there is a clear reference to the needs of all these programs. to have one objective that everybody should be able to enjoy human rights. and we're going to help his live piece of sound for human rights apply to all countries, including those countries, the g 20. what about those specific if uses in those that i'm saying, what we want is human rights everywhere, including in those guns. the secretary general will take part in the virtual summit from new york. he wants the g 20 to extend in duration and scope debt relief. it offered to some of the world's poorest countries earlier in the year. however, early draft of the final communique seen by journalists suggests he may fail in
7:22 am
that attempt. jamesburg, sirrah, at the united nations, the united states recorded 2015 coronavirus deaths on thursday, and the 1st time it stated death count has crossed the 2000 loc since may. meanwhile, pharmaceutical company, fines and its german department beyond tech have filed imagines he authorization in the us for their cover 19 back saying the us health secretary alex as our has described that move as a light at the end of the tunnel. if that request is approved, a vaccine could be available within weeks. mike hanna has more from washington d.c. . what happens once pfizer registers the request with the f.d.a.? it then looks at the data that pfizer has collected through its tests of some $40000.00 people over the past few months. the f.d.a. then calls a meeting with a group of independent scientists who will then decide whether or not to grant the emergency use authorization based on the data that they've been given by pfizer.
7:23 am
but the real difficulty here is that this is not a routine vaccine trial. this is a new technology which the scientists are going to have to look at. it's completely uncharted water. it is not a vaccine in which a mutant down version of the virus is injected into the system, allowing the body to create its own immunity. this is a case where, a spike proteins are created within humans, d.n.a., which replicates the corona virus, and trains the body to recognize it should the corona virus into the body. so this is a totally different technology which has not been dealt with before. and this in itself is going to maybe extend the period the speed with which these vaccines can be rolled out. well, that is also incredibly difficult because this particular treatment requires 2 injections over a period of 3 weeks. now that is a lot of injections, a lot of the vaccine that needs to be distributed throughout the country. so
7:24 am
now the philippines will lift a ban on health care workers leaving the country up to 5000. s.s.a. here will now be allowed to accept job offers of the ses president rodriguez to test a, introduce the ban back in april, saying filipino doctors and nurses when needed at home to help fight the current virus. then that nurses campaigned against that all saying salaries in the philippines are too low to live on. rising corona, virus infections are putting sweden, has no lockdown, not under pressure. for the 1st time. the government has rejected advice from the public health agency. their reports from the capital commuter rush begins in stockholm with little evidence of concern about sweden's mounting coronavirus crisis. it's just a couple of months since the decision not to impose a lockdown seemed to be working. but with the 2nd wave of the pandemic building momentum, it could be a long cold winter ahead. for the approach that has been dubbed the swedish model.
7:25 am
a record 7240 new cases were reported on friday, with 66 more deaths taking the toll to almost 6 and a half 1000 who have been getting more and more patient. is it procedures for taking care of them there? late with that in front of us and we are far behind. sweden's government is starting to impose tougher restrictions. no more than 8 people can now attend a fishel event, while pubs and restaurants abound from serving alcohol. after 10 pm, there are new limits on visits to old people's homes. after infections again started spreading rapidly in places where thousands died in the spring or fall, the government will continue to take all necessary decisions to reduce the spread of infection. sweeden strength in this crisis, however, is that every person takes their responsibility. does the juice for their fellows,
7:26 am
and for our country? about personal responsibility has been at the heart of sweden's fight against the pandemic. but now many are questioning whether people should be forced to comply with tougher measures, including having to wear masks something that most swedes have so far shunned. that's after the royal swedish academy of sciences released a report showing that masks could prevent the spread of infection indoors, as we found so far, yearly supports the fact that the masks will have the positive, the fact that in the finishing, it's not exactly preventing the spread of by us, but that's in contrast to recommendations made by the public health agency on the chief epidemiology. i'm just one yell who has repeatedly said masks can make people more careless about social distancing. not everyone has listened with masks, sales tripling as one pharmacy chain in november. even if the government does bow to pressure on mosques, that could be as far as it's prepared to guard. the so-called swedish model may be
7:27 am
under some pressure, but a full lockdown is unlikely and perhaps even impossible. such a measure is guarded against by the swedish constitution that protects citizens, freedoms, even in a time of crisis. paul recent al-jazeera stockyard. well, the football world cup kicks off in cata in exactly 2 years' time football's biggest tournament will make its middle eastern debut and 2022. but the coronavirus pandemic has affected preparations for both teams. and organizers. reports from doha. this giant 10 structure is al bait stadium. in arabic, it translates to the house and will be home to 60000 fans for the opening game of the 22 inch to world cup. if the current virus pandemic lifts in time, the global health crisis hit, just as cattle was finalizing its preparations. overnight in the pandemic has
7:28 am
affected the entire world that they're not only affect the sporting industry. our preparations have, luckily, not been affected by the pandemic. and we see that the pandemic is as well under control here in qatar. so that's, that's a very good thing. qualifies around the world have been delayed and test events have been cancelled. but even if the virus is still with us in 2 years time, cattle has now had experience of holding a tournament in a bio security bubble. the asian champions league is currently underway here across several the news teams were coming from abroad. and also the teams from within the top clubs from the door would go through a systematic approach where they tested 1st before entering. got there, saw those coming from abroad, tested in the airport. then they got to the how did they check and then they wait for the presence of the testing. and then we do have a pita testing for all every 3 to 6 days. it's been a very different experience for us from the get go we. when we got on the flight,
7:29 am
we had to obviously weather, thrice mosques. and then strike where we had grain or around our faces, a hole in our floor. we came to the hotel where the staff have been quarantining, i think, 2 weeks already. so everyone here in the bubble has been in the bubble for 2 weeks before us arriving australian club. perth laurie tested out the education city world cup stadium in the 1st group match and were impressed that stadium probably the best biden, i think we were the 1st ones to you know, you could have got a better pitch, the changing room. you know, as i said, the pitch, the bench is all top top so it's 5 to be 8 stadiums are already finished and some have already held matches. but the hard work continues to others. like here at the salle stadium, which will host the final on december the 18th 2022, where the new world champions will be crowned whether or not it will be in front of
7:30 am
a capacity. $80000.00 crowns, depends on how quickly this pandemic passes. joining us rosco al jazeera doha says al jazeera and these are the headlines. republican party leaders from the u.s. state of michigan say they're not aware of any information that would change joe biden's electoral victory. there. facia statement after meeting with president travel saying the state certification process should be free from threats and intimidation. alan fisher has more for us from the white house. whew. well, it's not a great couple of hours for the trump campaign and those around him. i hope they can overturn the results either by taking legal action or by getting legislators to not follow the normal procedure. so this meeting, we don't know exactly what happened in.
