investigate an alleged physical and racist assault by police officers. argentinians have paid tribute to football legend, diego maradona, who died this week at the age of 60. thousands of people lined the streets in the capital. as his body was transported from the presidential palace to a cemetery, the country is in the midst of 3 days of mourning for marathoner. there was scuffles between mourners and police. after all, dorothea's tried to shut off access to a public wake. images showed riot police firing tear gas at crowds, who had been queuing there since the early morning to raise the bar has moved from the capital one of the areas for one day, argentina's presidential palace was fueled with food bowl fans. for thousands came

here to pay their respects to the eagle man, i don't ask the man the myth the coffin lane state, adorned with the number 10 juicy that made him famous deal for me and says he was filled with emotion when he saw the coffin of the who almost all of it, if they want to know, we don't judge him for what he did with his life. but what he did for us, he gave the people happiness. something that no politician has ever done. but i don't, i came from the poor slums of one of scientists and reached the top of the game. for many, he was a mirror of latin america, an example of the extremes that exist in this part of the world. but for his legions of argentine, fans might have the owner was like them. similarly a us god is dead. the god of the people of the poor, the one who represented all of us. that's why i'm so sad. argentina is in mourning, many of those on her are holding back of their lives. others are crying and others

followed every team here to celebrate the life. and that's why they're singing songs about what it is that we will not have or not have a special place in people's hearts in this country. and that's why both of us have wanted to say goodbye. and it's not just in argentina, in italy, in the city of naples where might have on a plate for several years. people also got together to bid him farewell. of course, a lot of the things being, he fully married the city, he really understood the essence and the soul of neapolitans. therefore, he's seen as one of us might have known as passing comes as a shock to most argentines, because it puts an end to a part of this country's history. for many, the able will become the day that some claimed he was, while he was alive. that is, how will one of us well, our correspondent is in when is areas for us, daniel,

a country in sport really in mourning today but, but a smaller burial service that's taken place. yes. that started with the wishes of his family. they've dictated the terms of this very traumatic day, which many argentines wanted to share. and i think some of that frustration spilling over into violence earlier in the day when thousands of people have been queuing up to get into the presidential palace to pay their last respects. we're told they were going to make it the family wanted, the gates closed. they wanted the body taken to the cemetery. the same cemetery where diego matter is the one whose parents are buried here. he's being buried now as we speak alongside them, but that frustration spilling over in what they say has been a very traumatic day for millions of arjen signs. and daniel, that you're looking at those pictures into his report as you say, these huge crowds, the authorities are having to manage that in an, in the middle of a pandemic tears. so it has been a bit chaotic today. yes that's, that's putting it mildly, i think,

i mean, the very fact that thousands of people, tens of thousands of people came into the center of when osiris queuing up since 6 o'clock in the morning, local time, outside the presidential palace. also going to all the places where the references they had to diego maradona, they were gathering in retail, which is the slum settlement that he was born and brought up in to the south of one of cyrus, of the 2 football clubs he played for. and what osiris, i could see those juniors, we were there earlier on the watching people lay like candles outside the stadiums . people drawing graffiti on the walls, putting out posters, writing poetry, many people in tears. so a very traumatic day. wearing their masks, certainly of your priorities, trying to encourage social distancing. but in the midst of this very emotional day, i suspect that not of the whole social distancing going on. the court with rules and regulations really being put to one side, in many cases. there in one as areas for us with all the latest. thanks so much.

and speaking of the coronavirus british drug company, astra zeneca is considering running another global trial for its coronavirus vaccine. and it questions about its success range. oxford university, which partnered with the pharmaceutical firm, says some of the trial injections didn't have the right amount of vaccine due to a manufacturing era. university says it's discussed the problem with regulators and agreed to complete that late stage trial with 2 groups. well, the u.k.'s chief medical adviser says he remains confident in the trial results so far. very briefly. though she took the results of the u.k. modo, make their decisions around it. so i think everyone who saw this works and that's very exciting. it's ready. we just need to know the truth. well, the world health organizations, executive director, says

a vaccine will allow for greater control of the corona virus, but that won't be the end of the virus. he's people to be mindful of behavior that increases the spread of the virus over the holidays. mike ryan appealed to continued physical distancing measures to avoid further lock downs. ryan also cautions the introduction of a vaccine will not mean the complete eradication of the virus. when it's now speak to him, he's a vaccine ologist, and also the vice president of vaccine research and development of blue willow biology biologics. sorry, he joins us now from ann arbor in michigan. ali, there's been so much optimism about the vaccine progress that we've been seeing and some caution to about the astra zeneca vaccine. i'll get to that a moment, but i want to start with what we're hearing from the w.h.o. . it really feels like they're trying to manage expectations here. you know, i think there is a big problem. if we just, you know, relax and say we have a vaccine and everything is ready and we can go out and start our life as used to

be better kind of big mistake for everybody. because having a vaccine is one thing and applying the vaccine to the community and to almost everybody is a huge task that was good months. and therefore if we just do x. today, because we have a good that is also from a clinical trial, that's something that should be managed well. and we should not be really who lacks our behaviors and our practices and the vaccine itself. although it's a very big success for the 3 vaccines including the asteroid seneca, there is a still many open issues that we have to be answered before we get to the point where we say, ok, we need it. of course, well i want to ask you a little bit about the astra zeneca vaccine. plenty of controversy that i mean, it's the cheapest vaccine, easiest to transport. but it does seem like the trials were carried out differently in different places and, and the best results that we saw didn't actually include any one of

a 55. and should we still be hopeful that it will actually do what it needs to do? well there at, this is an issue of the giving the vaccine to 65 and older who are we have a weakened immune to immune system and therefore not having enough people in that particular is a big problem. because then that, that population will not benefit from a vaccine, therefore on the out of the highest risk people around. so therefore it's is an issue with regards to the $65.00 and older. another thing is really the issue with those seeing individual men. and there was a few issues and it's for us that has any kind of apparently the had and error in the beginning and that there are work for their benefit. because in the euphoria of 95 percent that we have with their fison. and what did i and 70 percent of us that

has any cut? that was not a really a great amused us, was it again however, when they looked at that some population, whatever happened in the beginning, that they had people who received to have feed those. and then buy it over and that happened then to give him the he has a mix of the full dose, deaths up of you. addition, the efficacy was about 90 percent. so basically it's not just that scene does not work for the vaccine is not that big aisha's. it problem there is that what to jim? and you should give these people is especially with this technology that you may have some issues with the fear of those. and the booster, those that you are giving believe that on. so we know in vaccine all of the that the preexisting immunity can interfere with the booster, with the immune response. and therefore now for us, that is, if i think that they, that looks great, i think it's safe. i think it's cheap. and also the distribution is not they might,

may have like we have with pfizer and to some extent who there are not that you can do it with regular refrigeration, which is dangerous, 3rd sure is villar bill all over the world. there will be no place that you can have to reach. so i'm there for, i think they should know is that really to balance the schedule and there are german and i think just as a doc's for would be able to do their very are easily and get back to find the right jim for outline good. and maybe you are saving some vaccine by giving, have it goes into fares, the 1st ever or any you were convex in development yourself. i do want to ask you a little about how the vaccines that went looking at actually work by my understanding there, designed to protect us by helping our bodies react to the virus or a version of the virus. but they might not necessarily help stop the spread exactly how, from our experience with the flu and with other respect to vaccines,

you have 2 main systems of the main immune responses. one immune response which create the end paid by the and that the cell may get immunity in the blood. and inside the body, which we call of humor in your response and vsam to get it to actually prevent disease. meaning that if the virus gets into the body, we will prevent the disease. however, these sort of spread to the infections coming to played through the, if this through the nose. and they stick to the nose, they propagate, they multiply, and then they in the, into the lungs, and they have this thought to establish the infection. now, most of the vaccines that we have will prevent that. the seas, however, are in many cases, have the virus will still grow and propagate in the nose and the spirit to other people. and therefore, if you have activist population does not that if it think too much, are a lot from the vaccine, then these people at the desk anyway. and then if you have

a vaccine and you feel comfortable, you are behavior would be different than here for now. you can to spread it to everybody, so therefore having a successful vaccine is a great achievement to humanity and to everybody. but also we need to look at to the not qualifies ition and the spread of the virus as a major risk, major public health problem that need to be addressed and through development of different kind of vaccine, nothing zip to build maxine's in the muscle, but basically giving the vaccine in the nose as into the nasal vaccination where you establish a nasal immunity local days of immunity when the virus comes. and there is a line fierce line of defense in the nose already going to prevent quote of a physician and the spread. but this is the kind of work that we are difficult being right now. as a 2nd generation, it got their men back. say that show is

a great progress. very fascinating. fasten their vaccine, ologist, and a visual still be taking precautions here. thanks so much for joining us. great to your expertise saddle. thank you very much. on the meantime, germany is imposing stricter lockdown measures as it struggles to suppress coronavirus infections. chancellor angela merkel says restrictions are likely to continue into january. she's also pushing for an e.u. vote on shutting down ski resorts over the winter holidays, but that's getting a chilly reception in other european countries. as john mccain reports from berlin, in winter means, and skiing at this resort to the danger of covert, 19 has not prevented the slopes from opening. and these skiers from enjoying them. because all vocoded has killed more than 4000 people in switzerland. officials here do not wanted to kill the economy too, and they say they have protection measures in place. we're trying to make it

possible to do to skiing vacations, are a skiing day in summer months. and we're trying hard at the moment to improve every possibility that it's been offered. so with the distance socially, this thing masks whatever, because we believe we have to live with it 90. but across the border in france, the view is different. more than 50000, people have died with covert 19 and ministers here fear a repeat of the kinds of super spread a ski events that occurred in austria and elsewhere at the start of the pandemic in europe. maybe and on top of course it will be possible for everyone to go to ski resorts to enjoy the pure mountain air and the shops will be open except bars and restaurants. because simply put, all the ski lifts on public facilities will be closed to the public. in burnley into there is a determination to try to prevent mass participation events. whether in ski resorts

or not right across the e.u. governments. and we will try in europe to get an agreement on closing all skiing areas. unfortunately, judging by what the oceans are saying, it does not look like it is going to be easy to achieve, but we will give it another try. the feeling in the austrian capital is that those who want to close their ski resorts should have to compensate people whose revenue will disappear. that's unlikely to please many politicians here in the german capital, who are already worried by the spiraling costs of the pandemic here, particularly now that they've just agreed to extend the current lockdown until just before christmas. dominic cain al-jazeera early. still ahead here on al-jazeera. rucka bahrain is declared winner of sunday's elections and mccain a faster, but the opposition continues to question the legitimacy of that faction. to know

what each one of the flags represent that is a memorial, she won't be forgotten. and the american art installation that humanizes the covert 19 death tolls and provides a space for those in the morning. but how i would say is a rather lively weather across eastern parts of the u.s. for thanksgiving. a fair amount of cloud around here, quite an active system. this one extends north of the border into canada. but it does go through as we go on into friday. brighter skies coming. but just notice how you can follow that system down across carolina, southern town, south carolina, pushing down into the florida panhandle and all the way across the deep south. so mississippi, alabama all the way into louisiana, texas saying heavy rain as we go through friday and going on into west saturday,

that right becomes even more expansive. much of the state will see some very heavy downpours, the possibility of some flooding far and dry those pushing into the way fam proper, around the eastern seaboard, some wintry weather there. quick back, central parts of canada, maybe over towards the west as well. western parts of the u.s. will be fine and dry and i say the tampa just picking up to about $23.00 celsius in the sunshine to get all of the sunshine down across a good part of mexico. down into believe is we have got showers still in place though, just around haunch area squats. amala showers day per pop for costa rica as we go on through friday and a day to day. but for much of the caribbean, it's fine and sunny. but in a new tourist motorcycle mean, you see what kim is and folks will one pia to direct eventually is to stay to play

their economies these ads to empower the women than all month sitting right there at san francisco and redefine their status in society. he says that nigeria's women wacom was witness on al-jazeera the roof the of the world. and again, i'm just on top stories here this hour. the funeral of football legend diego maradona, has taken place at a cemetery in argentina's capital. but as aires the country has begun 3 days national mourning for the legendary footballer who died on wednesday from

a heart attack. astra zeneca is now considering running another global trial after admitted it's corona virus vaccine needs further research. oxford university, which partnered with the pharmaceutical firm, says some of the trial injections didn't have the right amount of vaccine due to a manufacturing era. germany is imposing stricter lockdown measures as it struggles to suppress coronavirus infections. chancellor angela merkel says restrictions are likely to continue into january. she is also pushing for the e.u. to close down ski resorts over the winter holidays. the ethiopian prime minister has ordered a final offensive on the northern tier gray region and says, a humanitarian corridor will be opened to help those fleeing. the conflict has warned residents to stay indoors. after ordering the army to move in on the regional capital. a government imposed deadline for grain forces to surrender expired on wednesday. it follows nearly 3 weeks of fighting with hundreds killed

and tens of thousands displaced. well, the un is warning of critical aid shortages in tikrit, but says fuel cash and food are all running out. and many of those displaced have already fled to neighboring sudan. have a morgan is with them. where we are, is a camp that's not far from the sudan is here border. and it's where more than 15000 refugees have arrived over the past 3 weeks. all of them saying that they're escaping shelling that they've seen people being slaughtered, that they've left family members behind and came here for their safety. they say that because of the lack of telecommunication and because of lack of access to many parts of to grieve, they can't confirm whether their relatives who they've left behind are still alive or not. but most of them say that when they came here, they had to wait for more than a week to be able to access aid and aid aid groups and international organizations . say that that's largely because this influx of refugees happened. all of a sudden they were not expecting it for there. for example, the world food program said that it had to get food from other programs. it has in

the country to be able to supply aid for those people who are here more than 40000 . refugees have already crossed into the sudan into the sudan side of the border here and got out of state as well as neighboring. that's a state. now the biggest challenge when it comes to providing aid for, for those refugees, is the fact that most of the roads are very difficult to access. logistically, let's not forget that sadam had a very exceptional flood season just a couple of months ago where most of the roads were examined. so aid groups say that logistically speaking, moving many of their songs to this area in response with the rise of the refugees would be very challenging. and there are concerns that they would be more than $200000.00 refugees in sudan in the next 6 months or 8 are going to show that they are trying to step up so that no refugee is left in need. i became a faster as president. rocca moray has promised to move the country forward after he was re-elected for another 5 year term,

but fewer than half of registered voters cast their ballots while thousands of polling stations were closed because of threats of violence. amid interest reports, supporters of president rothko boris m.p.p. party celebrate at their headquarters. shortly after the preliminary results of last sunday's presidential election, where analyst the election commission says president keyboard secured more than 3 times what is close a supporter and received? there were 13 other candidates sept problem. after this proclamation, mr. christian mark is declared provisionally elected in the 1st round as president of turkey in a fast way with 57.8 percent of the vote in the election of november 22nd. the result means spread the uncertainty of producing a united opposition in a runoff. addressing his supporters, he promised an all inclusive dialogue to move the country forward. border called

the vote he story. yeah. so the context first is the context. it was held in security. everyone is aware of. secondly, it's the 1st time people are working a person diaspora participated in elections. 3rd, a confirmation of democracy is taking firm roots here. the opposition party raised concerns about the validity of the vote, count and reserved their right to challenge the results in court. look, the opposition heard what the election commission said and is ready to use all legal means to get justice about all the irregularities in the election of november 22nd. we however, reaffirm all commitment to preserve peace and stability in between a fast. so by placing the interest of the country above all consideration, the opposition had hoped for and of so our united opposition could field a single candidate. they now have a week to challenge the results in court. while the 1300 polling stations were

closed in the north and east of the country due to fears of violence by groups linked to al qaida and islamic state, the constitutional court has to ratify the results of the 15 days from the date of the announcement of the results i'll just hear france's interior minister has ordered the suspension of police officers who allegedly attacked and racially abused a black music producer inside his own studio and the incident was recorded by security cameras. inside the man's studio, he told reporters police followed him inside after seeing him outside without a face mask. 4 officers involved have been suspended. the incident comes ahead of a protest against police violence on saturday. the government so we can want to see the. there are 3 people who came and attacked me and these people are supposed to protect us. i didn't do anything to deserve that. and i just want these 3 people to be punished by the law because we have

a good justice system in france. it exists and i was lucky and like many others to have videos that protect me. alan is a journalist and french current affairs analyst. he says, reports of police brutality in france. go back many, many living going on and on. these incidents, not just in the last few weeks or last few days, but over many years, their frequent reports of police brutality, everything, term deaths in custody to absolute torture. that's not too strong a word. they're being typically who really consider the police using their, their weapons to really, really hurt criminal suspects. clearly, the events in america will galvanize the black lives matter movement across the world, but also in advance. it was demonstrations over the summer during the current violence lockdown in chapter 25230000,

people and all of them were singing the names of mainly ethnic minorities, the man black man who died in custody. they've been badly beaten are so yes, the allegation is that there is institutionalized racism in the fonts. and that it's a very serious problem and the government needs to act on it beyond trying to outlaw pictures of police officers, you know, work more than 260000. people have now died from 1000 in the united states. and as those numbers keep increasing, one artist has sought to humanize the statistics are an os installation, as natasha going to reports the size in washington, d.c. has also become a space for mourning. the wind and flapping of the flags create a kind of meditative music, the sun shadows dance across their mostly blank surfaces. each of the shin high

memorials marks a covert night to be counted a heartbreak to be remembered. this is an opportunity to consider what has happened to us as a nation. this isn't america. this is not the america i grew up in. we are now the greatest country on earth because of our movie dad. suzanne brennan furstenberg created and finance the art installation. in america, how could this happen? the white flags are intended to represent the purity of those who died. she says they also signify, the governments are run dirty when it comes to its response to the pandemic. we need to think about being american as looking out for the common good and looking out for each other. this pandemic offers us

a pivot point to rethink who we are and what we want to be. on this day, natalie carter came with a handful of her students. the teacher planted a flag, an honor of her ought to know one merit who died 2 months ago. the family was unable to hold a funeral due to pandemic restrictions. but this is a memorial ceremony and it's huge. it is, there are so many people that drive by here every day and to know what each one of the flags represent. that is a memorial. she won't be forgotten. she's not just another person that contract he called it and passed away, brought in furstenberg is exploring, creating another work of art with these flags. a portion of the installation will be preserved at the smithsonian museum, but the artist says, what negs that her is, the more responsibility she has to those who die from coburg, 19 after this memorial is just me. i told, at the end of november, you are my sunshine. you always found a way to help others are among the messages written on the flags,

a few photographs. but the most common expression of grief is we missed. the talks are going to al-jazeera washington d.c. . this is al jazeera and these are the top stories have been paying tribute to football legend, diego maradona, who died this week at the age of 60. thousands of people lined the streets in the capital as his body was transported from the presidential palace to a sudden change. the country is now in the midst of 3 days of mourning. as following developments forced from one of the areas for his family, they've dictated that this very traumatic day, which many arjun times wanted to share. and i think had some of that frustration spilling over.
