legislation can i get through that's going to speak to a major need for marketing. this be identified to use violence as a public build up in the last year we had 200 murders to report. when it comes, the youth, it stretches for a while. you were saying goodbye to a football legend, thousands in argentina paid tribute as diego maradona is laid to rest and i there i missed on the attack and this is al jazeera live from her. also coming up a company astra zeneca says it may need to run a new global trial for its current, a virus vaccine. amid questions about its efficacy, half

a 1000000 people in the firing line. ethiopia's government says the final offensive in t. has become and anger in france has authorized. he's investigating an alleged physical and racist assaults by police officers. the funeral of football legend, diego maradona, has taken place at a cemetery in argentina's capital point. as aires, there was heavy security as his body was transported from the presidential palace to the cemetery, to be buried. thousands of people lines that route to watch the funeral procession . but earlier there were scuffles between mourners and police. trying to shut off access to a public wake images showed riot police firing tear gas at crowds who'd been queuing there since the early morning. the country's in the midst of 3 days of mourning for marathon, a few died on wednesday from

a heart attack. tourism has more from the capital for one day, argentina's presidential palace was field with football fans. thousands came here to pay their respects to the eagle. my donor, the man, the myth, the coffin lane state and going to with a number 10 jersey that made him famous and says he was filled with emotion when he saw the coffin, not the level of it if they want to, 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, 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 food every came here to celebrate the life. and that's why they're singing songs about what it is that you will not have or not have a special place in people's hearts in this country. and that's why i wrote them on to say goodbye. and it's not just in argentina, in italy, in the city of naples, where might have been a played for several years. people also got together to bid him farewell. of course, although he thank you. 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 turning to the current virus pandemic now and germany is imposing stricter lockdown measures as it struggles to suppress infections. chancellor angela merkel says restrictions are likely to continue now 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 selma in winter means snow and skiing at this resort to the danger of coded 19 has not prevented the slopes from opening and the 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 sermons. 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 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 of 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 ski 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. all drug company, astra zeneca, is now considering running another global trial for its current a virus vaccine. amid questions about that success rate, 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 the late stage trial with 2 groups. all the while health organizations, executive director, says the vaccine will allow for greater control of the coronavirus, bought my cry and want to put a vaccine. says i, if that he had people to be mindful of behavior that increases the spread of the virus over the holidays. and he appealed for continued physical distancing measures to avoid fat lockdowns well as fight to early fats. and he's a vaccine ologist and vice president of vaccine research and development at new willow biologics. he says, even with a vaccine, people must continue to follow the rules. 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. that's really kind of a big mistake for everybody. because having a vaccine is one thing and applying the vaccine to the community and do almost

everybody's really huge task that was do months. and therefore if we just relax 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 really who lacks order behaviors and our practice. and the vaccine itself. although it's a very big success for the 3 vaccines including the asteroid, seneca, there is still many open issues that you have to be answered before we get to the point where we say, ok, we need it, giving the vaccine to 65 and older where 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, i know they are the highest risk people around. so therefore, it is an issue with regards to the $65.00 and older moving on now,

and the ethiopian prime minister has ordered a full final offensive on the northern t. grave 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, pentagram forces to surrender expired on wednesday as all follows, nearly 3 weeks of fighting now with hundreds killed and tens of thousands displaced . now where there is following developments for us from nairobi in neighboring, kenya issued the ultimatum on sunday. and he said that graham fighters had 3 days to surrender, lay down their arms and head of what he said would be a final salt on the final assault on the regional capital of mackay, which is a city of about half a 1000000 people. now since then, we've heard conflicting claims from both sides about how close the federal forces are to the city 70 kilometers 50 kilometers, even as close as 30 kilometers. but we haven't yet heard any reports of shelling on

the city itself, but this is something that rights organizations have expressed. grave concern about because it's such a dense population of civilians. they're saying be very dangerous if there's heavy fighting there at all. in the case of amnesty international said that shelling of the city could even potentially constitute a war crime. the statement from the prime minister of the prime minister's office has said that the federal government started giving out humanitarian assistance, food, water, and medicines in the areas that it controls. it said it's setting up for camps for the displaced people. now the u.n. said that about more than $800000.00, people in the region were dependent on humanitarian assistance. even before this conflict began and estimates an additional 1000000 are going to need assistance because many of the people have been displaced by the fighting in some of the smaller towns over the last few weeks. because it's not. the u.n. says it's not possible for their partner organizations to access these people. all

these places that it's not known exactly at this moment, how many people need help or where they are? well, the un is warning of critical aid shortages in te grain. it says fuel cash and food are all running out. many of those displaced have already fled to neighboring sudan out of syria's heavy. morgan is that where we are is a calm 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 agree 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 dishonesty. 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. 8 are going to show that they are trying to step up so that no refugee is left in need. hostile ahead here on a rock a bore, a is declared winner of sunday's elections and became

a faster. but the opposition continues to question the legitimacy of that voters plus a turkish court hands down hundreds of life sentences linked to the failed 2016 crew . accusing some of trying to kill president. i don't know how the weather squatting down for china over the next couple days. i see some bits and pieces of cloud of rain sliding through central areas. still a few showers around for friday, but it was shanghai. these will slide out into the east china sea, some wetter weather too, just sliding off the korean peninsula and it's making its way towards japan. so they're going to turn rather unsettled. has some wetter weather, quite cool, northwesterly way and faith filtering in here will say some sea effect snow. then

across that western side of honshu, sheltered by the mountains tokyo not too bad temperatures here. around 16 celsius should be lawsuits. right? well, as you try to get to the far north of the philippines, not too bad across the entire china as well. we see some wet weather, some a shower as driven in where that northeasterly wind into vietnam because the some wet weather him maybe some showers too into that eastern side of lose or much of the philippines. it's a case of sunshine in showers, very active showers as well for much of malaysia down into indonesia. well, the same as we go on through the weekend stays a very active rain. of course, in the form of psych fight nevile that's making its way away from you at the moment . pushing up in sioux essential areas that india, grassy pushing over to the west coast in notorious waterside community. what cames and thugs will one theater direct

eventually is. to stage a play, economists have to empower the women that all must sit in debt and and redefine their status in society. this is that nigeria's women walk on water, witness on al-jazeera. hello again, i'm a star and let's remind you of our top stories this hour. the funeral of football legend diego maradona, has taken place at a cemetery in argentina's capital one of the aires the country has begun. 3 days of

national mourning for the neds injury footballer who died on wednesday from a heart attack. astra zeneca is now considering running another global trial after it admitted its 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 error. in germany is imposing stricter lockdown measures as it struggles to suppress coronavirus infections. chancellor angela merkel says restrictions are likely to continue into january, and she is also pushing for the e.u. to close down the ski resorts over the winter holidays and england who replace its national long town with a new system of regional tears. next week there are 3 levels with different restrictions. large parts of the country will still be under the strictest level. paul brennan is in sevenoaks in kent, which will be on that tier 3. he says there's some frustration over how the rules have been applied. the end of the national lockdown here in england won't come

a minute too soon for many people and many livelihoods who have been impacted quite severely by the restrictions that have been imposed upon them in the past several weeks. but there are winners and losers from the new system. for example, liverpool will come out of the highest level of restriction that's 23 and move down to tier to london will stay. interior to manchester will stay in tier 3, but only 3 areas will move to the lowest level of restrictions to warm the thick of sheppey. of whites and cornwall and many other areas will move to tear to 3. and i'm in one of them. this is kent, the garden of england, as it's described, the county of kent in the south east of england. here there will be 2 or 3, but that is causing a lot of angst here because there is a big difference in fiction rates from one end of the country, county to the other. for example, ramsgate has a rolling 7 day average of around $570.00 infections per 100000 here in sevenoaks.

it's just 76 per 100000 that has an impact because staying in 2 or 3 means restaurants like this, the bar and probably over my shoulder, the restaurant that's behind me, have to stay close. they can only do take away a massive impact on their business. in the run up to christmas m.p.'s for the local area on a happy. people are also not happy, but the government says it's absolutely necessary to stay on top of this infection . oh, meanwhile, millions of americans have been traveling over the thanksgiving holiday despite daya warnings from health experts. them to stay at home to try to stem the spread of the current virus. the u.s. transportation security administration says nearly 6000000. people took flights from friday to wednesday, and on wednesday, the day before the thanksgiving holiday, 1000000 people pass through airport security. on that day, the u.s. reported 2400 deaths linked to that 19. officials a fear that numbers will increase and of people to scale back their celebrations.

let's speak to professor lawrence gostin. he's the founding o'neill, chair in global health at georgetown university. he joins us now from washington. d.c. . professor, we're looking at record numbers of infections across the country and deaths are also soaring. are people intentionally disregarding advice by travelling well, or is this pandemic fatigue? do you think? well, it's a combination of a lot of things. and i don't think this willfulness but i think it's pretty clear to people all around the world that the united states is so politically bitterly divided. and so the simplest things, like public health warnings, about masks or mass gatherings. all of these things are, you know, highly political, literally just today, the u.s. supreme court reversed itself and decided that new york state couldn't

put a restriction on gatherin because it violated freedom of religion . so this is, you know, and then there's fatigue. this is a really serious problem. the vaccine just can't come quickly enough for the united states. we're going to see tens upon tens of thousands of people dying were really preventable professor. i remember when people ignored travel advice and went to that stuff just mostly by probably back in august that became a super spreader event. not just in one community, but across the midwest throughout the country. do you think we should be bracing for something similar after thanksgiving? given the travel trends that we've been saying, oh, you'll see worse, you'll see far worse than that. that was just one man. and this is, you know, millions of people traveling, getting together with family for celebrations. it's. it's the american thanksgiving, which is our most celebrated and traveled. holiday people will

be laughing, talking indoor spaces because it's cold in parts of america. and so we're going to see we've already seen huge spikes in cases. and that's going to be even more concerning in the, in the days and weeks to come, but also are already at the the brink. and i could see many of our ospital, particularly in rural areas being whelmed. and this is now really just the start of the festive season right there. still christmas to come nears and people trapped indoors because it's winter. what's the worst case scenario in your mind? well, you know, the worst case scenario is that we'll have a 100000 or more deaths between now or when the vaccine

rolls out. i think, you know, basically. 'd we trumpet ministrations pretty much given up and the president almost never leaves. so this is a chance to force the federal government is in disarray. it's highly politicized this city. and people just want to, you know, go to restaurants, bars, they want to enjoy themselves. and they want family celebrations, and they see every restriction is a, you know, potential violation of their own freedom. even though you know, human beings, you know, are free to do things that may risk your own life. but if you're risking someone else's life funeral, an elderly neighbor or a family member, you know, that's not freedom that's, that's just simply you know, causing unnecessary deaths for others and nobody has the freedom to harm other

people. professor lawrence gostin there from georgetown university. great, take your thoughts here on out there. thanks for being with us. professor. thanks for having me. take care. now hundreds of people have been given life sentences for attempting to topple turkey's government 4 years ago, a defining moment and the present russia type out on its one of the biggest cases related to the failed coup, during which more than 250 people were killed. some crossfire live reports from istanbul. it's a case that's taken 4 years to conclude, this court and uncorrupt acquitted 70 people before that sentence, 310, military officers and civilians to life in prison. they were all facing charges stemming from a failed military coup in 2016. a total of $475.00 defendants were tried for running the failed coup from akron to airbase northwest sobel. turkish capital. prosecutors say that's where f. 16 fighter jets to go off and flew low over on korea,

sending out sonic booms before attacking parliament and other government buildings . to denmark, remember, wash missed this trial of 4 years, was pointless. this court passed its verdicts as if only approving the prosecutor's notion without keeping any statements or evidence in consideration. we are not happy with this verdict, we will carry it to the appropriate places i want to turkish people to be sensitive about this. defendants were charged with a long list of crimes from murder and attempts to violate the constitutional order to an assassination attempt targeting president dredge up say, brad john. but the number one defendant was u.s. space turkish religious figure put to luck, who the turkish authorities blamed for the failed coup. he and others will have a separate trial because they live a brute. the trial also brings charges against so-called civilian moms, secretive non military figures,

accused of being the coordinators between good men and those in turkey who took part in death attack. according to the in dark meant those civilian moms had direct talks with cuba. and while it's a raise on the night off the failed coup, to receive orders and pass them along to the military members, to cheer that you mark your mother. as the crimes were detected by the courts, we would expect the defendants to apologize to the turkish nation and the families of the veterans and ask for their blessings rather than denying. but we didn't see any sign of regret. the field who killed 250 people and injured nearly 2200 others top military brass, including then chief of general staff. a car were held hostage at the air base throughout the night. the turkish government has since arrested nearly 8000 people accusing them of having links with goodman and more than a 130000, people,

including military personnel, have either been sacked or suspended from their jobs in the public sector. relatives of the defendants are not happy with the court's ruling. but the families of the victims had wanted death sentences, but many people here in turkey believe the court decision could serve as a lesson to those who intend to harm the constitutional order in a country that has bitter experiences with military calls and its modern history. see now consolo al-jazeera stumble now, but as president rocco bora a has promised to move the country forward after he was reelected for another 5 year, 10 electoral commission says camorra has secured a 1600000 votes of the nearly 3000000 cast with voter turnout at around 50 percent . but opposition parties say the vote was marked by fraud and is threatening to reject the results. the letter body has dismissed those claims. hundreds of thousands of people unable to vote because of fears of violence. joy. but

i welcome the announcement just the provisional results of the presidential elections of 2020. i'd like to think at home and abroad for the commitment unfaithfulness they have in democracy. this election is historic for many reasons. the 1st is the context in which it was held. the security everyone is aware of. secondly, it's the 1st time. booking our base in the diaspora participated in elections. a confirmation of democracy is taking firm roots here. the un agency for palestinian refugees says for the 1st time in history, it's run out of money for the rest of the year. on raw,, relies on funds from un member states and the e.u., but says it's been chronically underfunded now for years. it's also warning the health system in gaza is about to collapse due to the pandemic. we are on the edge of the leave, but best deal believe we can avoid it too for we can't avoid too for if

this solidarity of the international community is expressed. now the decision to keep all the services to keep all the stuff needed to deliver the services and to pay the salary of november. the only thing i don't know yet is one day will this summary be francaise? interior minister has ordered the suspension of police officers who allegedly attacked and racially abused a black music producer inside his own studio, or the incident was recorded by security cameras. inside the man's studio, he told reporters place followed him in after seeing him outside without a face mask. the incident comes ahead of a protest against police violence on saturday. part of an so we can want to see if 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 from peace, alan is a journalist and a french current affairs analyst. he says, reports of place for taliban fronts. go back many years, living turn almost all these incidents look just in the last few weeks the last few days. but there are many years. there are 3 quarts of police brutality, everything from custody to actually talk show that's a lot stronger. we're being deeply horrific. incidents of 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 responds. it was demonstrations over the summer during the curl of our us lockdown in chapter 25230000, people and all of them were singing in the lanes, all mainly ethnic minority man black man who died in custody. you've been badly beaten by our so yes, the allegation is that there is institutionalized racism in the farts and that it's a very serious problem. and the government needs to act all it from beyond trying to outlaw all pictures of police officers do no work. and this is al jazeera and these are the top stories. the funeral of football legend, diego maradona, has taken place at a cemetery in argentina's capital plan. as aires the country has begun 3 days of national mourning for the next 100 footballer crew died on wednesday from

a hospital following developments for us from the capital. his family they've dictated to.
