everyone. i've seen newspapers in france and in england, they all talk about him. it's incredible. however, the chaos that blighted much of marathoners life spilled into events, marking his death. fans clashed with police after the gates to the government palace where he was lying in state closed, denying them the chance to pay their last respects with his death has come the opportunity to reflect on what diego maradona gave to the world of football. to this neighborhood to argentina? the answer for many is everything. they created shrines of football grounds where he played a book of juniors and here the continues juniors grounds named after him, where he began his professional career as a 15 year old in 1976. wood. diego is the people, he's the people, it's what he most identified with. he never forgot his origins, the happiness he brought this family for all these families said, i don't want to judge him badly because he represented all our misery. and as it

says on these posters, our happiness too. like to thank you for all the happiness he brought us. i don't know some applause for marriage or not the best of our people. thank you. really. thank you for that. they applauded here and across argentina in naples, in barcelona, and around the world. marathoner in the demons, he battled the day. but to go to for his magic, his vision, an ability to excite and inspire live on in his fans. one of cyrus drug company, astra zeneca, is considering running another global trial for its quota virus vaccine, amid questions about its 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 error, the university says it's discussed the problem with regulators and agreed to

complete the late stage trial with 2 further groups. the u.k.'s chief medical adviser says he remains confident in the trial results so far. ready for the whole thing. they'll see the top of the result set as he says, and we've got a great privilege. if you k. in the work of, you know, they'll make their own decisions around. so i think you have one results. this vaccine works only. that's very exciting. and it's going to be put forward. 'd for approval, regulators will need to be truthful about it, and now they thought them is a vaccine ologist and vice president of the vaccine research and development to blue willow biologics. he says, even with the 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 it 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 good 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 to 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 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 category 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 lead germany is imposing stricter lockdown measures. and as it struggles to suppress credit virus infections, chancellor angela merkel says the structures are likely to continue into january. she's also pushing for an evo, tollner, shutting ski resorts over the winter holidays. but that's getting a chilly reception in other european countries. dominic kane reports now from berlin. sammut in winter means snow and skiing at this result in the danger of coated 19 has not prevented the slopes from opening and these skiers from enjoying them. because although cove it has killed more than 4000 people in switzerland, officials here do not want it 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 certain markets. and we're trying hard at the moment to improve every possibility that it's been offered. so with the distance socialistic masks, whatever, because we believe we have to live with corbett, 19, but across the border in france, the view is different. more than 50000. people have died with cove, it 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 thong. 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. 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 obama. 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 u.s. president says that he will leave the white house if the electoral college confirms the victory of president elect joe biden. speaking for the 1st time since the election, trump said it would be a mistake if biden was confirmed, adding it would be difficult to conceive and trump repeated unfounded claims about

the election being stolen from him because of fraudulent votes by the inauguration will take place on january the 20th if feeling from was alive as well. there was no they would just say yes, certainly i will. certainly i will. and you know that, but i think that there will be a lot of things happening between now and the 20th of january. michaela has more from washington d.c. . certainly it's the 1st time as well that president trump has explicitly said that he will leave the white house. should our sisters expected the electoral college confirm the president elect biden as the country's next president? now, president saying that he's still not going to concede, insisting that there's a lot of battles still to go continuing to insist with no evidence whatsoever that the, the election was for talent. but all of that ends affectively when the electoral college votes in mid december,

basically all the electors in their respective states will confirm the votes, which at the present stands for $306.00 electoral college votes for joe biden. $232.00 for donald trump. now at that point to president trump saying he will accept the electoral college is a decision, though, if he considers it as a fraud. well, that's not strictly true. he has got no option, but to accept that decision that is a constitutional point at which the next president is confirmed by the electoral college. the next step is for congress to certify all of those votes. and then the inauguration on january the 20th one must point out as well, that in more than 30 cases brought by the trump campaign or other republican organizations have been defeated in the country's courts. so certainly he has no grounds whatsoever would appear to continue to cry, fraud, and to continue to cast any doubt whatsoever on the result of the selection. but he's going to continue to do so. it would appear. the prime minister has ordered

a final offensive on the northern region and a humanitarian corridor will be opened to help those fleeing the conflict of the army. that has warned residents to stay indoors after ordering the army to move in on the regional capital mccully. a government imposed deadline for to grown forces to surrender expired a wednesday. that follows nearly 3 weeks of fighting with hundreds killed and tens of thousands displaced. well, many of those displaced have fled to neighboring. the country is currently hosting more than $45000.00 refugees, and they're struggling to get access to health. the border with ethiopia. this is the only health facility at village refugee camp near sudan's border with dozens come here from medical assistance each day. techno will die says he was when by doctors back in his home country that he was developing cardiac problems. now he says, days of walking, to flee from fighting in ethiopia, region,

and standing in line for aid and for treatment is making him feel worse. i was told to be careful not to exhaust myself to take care of my diet. but since i had to flee my chest pains have been increasing. and when i come here, there's often a long line or no doctor, for hundreds of patients in the camp that hosts more than 15000. the center is the 1st and sometimes the only place to seek treatment. despite that it has little to offer to patients, all fled to escape fighting from to grey. i wasn't suffering from anything when i was back at my i've been struggling to get medication since i got here and the treatment is very poor. more than 45000 refugees have been displaced by the fighting integrate. it's thought of 3 weeks ago following a government offensive on the to great people's liberation front. the offensive was a response to an attack by the front on a military base and came after months of tension between the regional government

and the federal government. 2 camps have been opened in sudan to cope with the influx of refugees. but providing services, especially health services, is challenging as more and more refugees continue to arrive. the camp here has 3 doctors who are also refugees to tend to the sick. we don't even we don't argue with me. you know, that could be of benefit. there are many here that we've grown it be that if american diabetes and cardiac cardiac be there, but we don't have the drugs. we don't obviously did everything about 14 fans. so dense commission of refugees says it's trying to assist the refugees with access to health care, but need support from organizations to be able to help the sick develop what's needed is for health organizations to provide emergency medications. the refugee

community is no mingling with the local community and some turn to local health facilities to get treatment. health organizations need to step up to ensure that refugees have proper health care. most refugees here say they don't know how long they remain in this camp, or if they will be relocated to places with better facilities. but they say they hope their calls for assistance will be listened to before a medical crisis. of course, he will, morgan al-jazeera got out of state. well, still ahead here all al-jazeera anger in france over an alleged racist assault by police officers from street games to international competitions. we meet the young filipino chess player, making some big moves. how

though. just around haunch area squats. amala showers day pep up 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 romania's, ancient forests, some of europe's most pristine. they are crucial for our society and crucial for our battle against the climate crisis, but illegal logging by a ruthless timber maffia is destroying both the landscape and people's lives. logging in the main areas are what are bunked violence, killing the same goals amidst claims of corruption and the role of powerful multinationals. people in power investigate, rumania, rape of the far east on al-jazeera.

defeat. the president, rocky bore, has promised to move the country forward after he was re-elected for another 5 year term. but the opposition says the vote was marred by fraud and is threatening legal action. and that interest has more supporters of president brought aboard his n.p.p. party. celebrate at their headquarters shortly after the 1st lehman results of last sunday's presidential election, where analyst the election commission says president kapoor is secured more than 3 times what his close a supporter and received. there were 13 other candidates. separate. 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 keyboard. he 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 board. he story left them. yeah. so the context first is the context. it was held, the insecurity everyone is aware of. secondly, it's the 1st time people are booking a person diaspora participated in elections. 3rd, a confirmation of democracy is taking firm roots here. the opposition party reste 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 eagle 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. more than 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. how many trees are just here? hundreds of people who are being given life sentences for attempting to topple turkey's government 4 years ago. a defining moment in the rule of present recipes, the one now it's one of the biggest cases related to the failed coup, during which more than 250 people were killed. cynicus sulu has more. from istanbul, it's a case that's taken 4 years to conclude, this court in uncorrupt, acquitted 70 people before that sentence $310.00, 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 dependents were tried for running the failed coup from arkansas 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 . didn't mark your midwest, 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 the 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 puts a luck with the turkish authorities, blame 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 in mom's secretive non military figures, accused of being the co-ordinators between good men and those in turkey who took part in death attack. according to the indictment, those civilian moms had direct talks with glenn while at a race on the night of the failed coup to receive orders and pass them along to the military members. true care that you, mark you, made in china. as the crimes were detected by the court, 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 coups and its modern history. see now consolo al-jazeera stumble. 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 in after seeing him outside without a face mask. the incident comes ahead of a protest against police violence on saturday. what doesn't kill you can want to see. 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. the controversial dark christmas tradition of black peter's increasingly led to violent confrontations across the netherlands. it involves a white person dressing up as a black helper for santa claus is widely considered to be racist. protests against a tradition have been cancelled out of fear for people's safety service and has more from amsterdam. most people in the netherlands have grown up with these images

of black faced white person who scares and entertained small children this time of the year. but black, pete is slowly making an exit after that libraries have decided to remove books with this image. of course, these books have to be removed because of the current discussion in our society and the new insights we have. they will now be part of our archive and we replaced with books portraying pete in a more neutral way. the removal of these books has led to such controversy and threat that library employees don't want to be interviewed on camera. this shows how deeply divided the netherlands is about this. this puta tradition. increasingly, protests against black people have turned violent with supporters attacking opponents and police. back on everyone, it was threatened after supporters of black people burst into a shop and shouted racist remarks. that night his windows were smashed. it's clear that i've become a victim of what you can see and i have been

a victim all my life with the tradition of black people. i have no words. i think enough has been said, it's now time to change and people should wake up. a recent survey shows that a majority in the netherlands want to stick with the traditional character of black people. many also reject the compromise already used in several cities called chimney pete, whose face is covered with some black stains. for while the home bird beak has to be black. and this cannot go, i don't want to discriminate against anyone. to me black, pete is a mysterious figure, not a person. it's a masquerade and not a skin color. so you can be unrecognizable on the street and children. see you as a fairytale figure. for nearly 30 years, he has transformed into black people in the weeks before the dutch santa claus celebration, reaching its peak under sam buffett. like most supporters, he says it is not a racist tradition when it is lack of awareness because yeah,

white people don't get to decide what is racism, racism is racism. and it doesn't matter what intention we are incorrect. you know, even though you didn't, you don't mean it that way. somebody impact and with the best intentions toward you to protest the organize over recent years. songs like these about black people have been changed and i figured that was long accepted in dutch society has now become controversial. but as long as libraries can't openly speak about removing books with black petes images, opponents of black people still have a long way to go. step last and al-jazeera amsterdam young just masters from around the world to compete in an international along championship, a wall, a 10 year old prodigy from the philippines already being tipped as a player to watch. al bashir bhutto may seem like a typical young boy, but at the age of 10, he is already the philippines chess,
