al-jazeera has teams on the ground what kind of lasting impact this 2nd lockdown would have to bring new moon when documentaries and life means bidding farewell to a football grange fans in argentina lined the streets to pay their last respects to diego maradona's alonso harami. what yard is there in life? my headquarters in doha also coming up. donald trump says that he'll leave office if the electoral college confirms joe biden as winner of the presidential election . also pharmaceutical company astra zeneca says it may need to run a new global trial for its prone to virus vaccine. amid questions about his advocacy of the key to fast as incumbent president has declared the winner of

sunday's elections. but the opposition continues to question the legitimacy of the vote bought into the program, the funeral of football legend, diego maradona, has been held at a cemetery in argentina's capital. there was heavy security as his body was transported from the presidential palace with thousands lining the route to watch. the procession was that. 2 the funeral cortege carried diego maradona's coffin to the cemetery where he was laid to rest alongside his parents, the streets lined by tens of thousands of fans saying ideal to a great footballer, a national hero. the loss was felt across the world. for us, diego was a terminal for our whole life. he led argentina to the top. it's difficult for 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 clash with lease 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. and here they are, continues junior's 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. and like to thank you for all the happiness he brought us. i don't know some applause from arizona, the best of our people. thank you, diego, really thank you for that. they applauded here and across argentina in naples, in barcelona, and around the world are in the demons. he battled the day, the day go to for his magic, his vision, an ability to excite and inspire live on in his fans., when osiris u.s., president donald trump, 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 concede. trump repeated unfounded claims about the election being stolen from him because of fraudulent votes. biden's inauguration such to take place on january, the 20 s.

. it was just so you know, certainly it will certainly 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 a 1st time as well that president trump has explicitly said that he will leave the white house should as this is expected, the electoral college confirm the president elect biden as the country's next president. now, president trump 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 that 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 cost any doubt whatsoever on the result of the selection. but he's going to continue to do so. it would appear drug company astra zeneca is considering running another global trial for its coronavirus vaccine,

amid questions about its success rate. oxford university which partnered with the pharmaceutical firm, says some of the trial of 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 groups. the u.k.'s chief medical advisor says he remains confident in the trial results so far. ready to put the whole thing. they'll see the top of the result set, as he said. and we've got a great privilege if you k. no look at no, don't make their decisions around. so i think, you know, one results this vaccine works. i don't know, it's very exciting and it's going to be put forward for approval. regulators will need to decide not to be truthful about the world health organizations, executive director says a vaccine will allow for greater control over the krona virus. but mike ryan warned that a vaccine won't mean the virus is over. 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 further lock downs. and if i thought only is a vaccine ologist and vice president of vaccine research and development, blue 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 back scene is one thing and applying the vaccine to the community and doing 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 be who lacks

order behaviors in 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 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. now 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

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 who 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, you know, that could be of benefit. there are many here that we've grown to be that if we are going to be this, but we don't have the drugs, we don't obviously i think everything about sudan's 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 out of state. still ahead here on al-jazeera. look at the millions going hungry aid agencies in syria say they have never seen so many malnourished children from street games to international competitions. we meet the young filipino transplant making some very big moves. the weather looks pretty unsettled for the middle east. over the next couple of days. yeah, the middle east seeing a fair bit of rainfall, we saw some rather nasty weather, just around cairo, as we went through the last

a day or so, the shower still in place here. but there are the process of a saying, see the showers that are just around that isa side of the mediterranean for friday, starting to pull away from northern parts of egypt. russia shows there through iraq pushing into northern parts of iran, western areas of ronald's, the same somewhat weather and some showers along dispose of rain possible into kuwait. northern and central parts of saudi arabia becomes more expansive as we go on through friday. possibly some heavier rain pushing tools, western parts of europe, even here in doha, you could catch a spot or 2 of right as we go through saturday, temperatures around 26 celsius. let's push further east where we've seen as cycling making its way into southern parts of india. just to the south of chennai, it continues to push further west, which it is weakening, of course, but still some very, very heavy rainfall coming in with this system of $100.00, millimeters of rain also. so any possibility is a slides across pushing towards maharastra will see that wetter weather,

opposition says the vote was marred by fraud and is threatening legal action. i mean address has more 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 kapoor secured more than 3 times. what is close a supporter and received. there were 13 other candidates separate. after this proclamation, mr. christian marcus 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 spared 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, the insecurity. everyone is aware of. secondly, it's the 1st time people are working to fasten, 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. the opposition heard what the election commission said, and he's ready to use all illegal 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 bikini fast. so by placing the interest of the country above all consideration, the opposition had hoped for. so i united opposition could field a single candidate. they now have a week to challenge the results in court. more than 1300 polling stations were

protection measures in place. we're trying to make it possible to do it. do 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 socialists think masks or whatever because we believe we have to live with 19, 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 entendu, 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 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 schools and universities in pakistan have also closed again as coronavirus cases surge across the country. the government says classes will resume on january the 11th following an extended

a lot more infections. the city governments also introduced these q.r. codes, which registered the phone numbers of customers at shops and restaurants. so they can be told if they come into contact with anyone infected, this is the way to stop the virus. the capsules authorities have finally concluded, testing in tracing, just like the world health organization said months ago. but outside of mexico city, the federal government still isn't convinced the country's got one of the lowest testing rates in the world. and the coronavirus says that after a certain point tracing doesn't really work. meanwhile, the mets can death rate is one of the highest in the world. $800.00 more fatalities were announced just on wednesday, a more than $100000.00. people have died in total and things are getting worse, not better, but it pertains here, but president and that is manuel lopez obrador. even still not convinced that a police lockdown is the answer. noise down the english channel,

a doll so thick to me that its effectiveness has some being fully the most rated. many times looked out, are carried out to exalt her italian attitude of an official. you have to trust the people. many in the informal sector, which makes up more than half of mexico's workforce, would agree with him. they have no safety net if they're forced to stay home. and the government hasn't brought out a wide ranging aid package to help them. they have to go out and work with the government has put money into these hospital beds. so far mexico has run out of those. there are, however, a lot of questions over the quality of equipment and the service that overstretch medical staff are able to provide. and the infections go on. john homan al-jazeera mexico city. 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. the incident was recorded by security

cameras inside the man's home. 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. well, the u.n. agency for palestinian refugees says for the 1st time in history, it's run out of money until the end of the year and roa,, a rise on funds from the un member states and the e.u., but says it has been chronically underfunded 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 cleeve, but best deal, believe we can avoid it to form. we can't avoid to form if just really very few of the international community is expressed. now, the decision is to keep all the services to keep, all the staff were needed to deliver the services and to be just salary

of november. the only thing i don't know yet that is one day will just salary be beat. the world food program is warning. more syrians have become increasingly dependent on food assistance to survive. a record $9300000.00, syrians don't get enough food to eat. less than a quarter reports, nearly half of those are children. 6 months old, a hoodie or waist 3 and a half kilos of malnutrition is becoming an increasing spread among syrian children. aid agencies warn nearly 5000000 across the war ravaged country don't get enough food to eat. as poverty deepens, you need smoke, but that's not all she needs. she needs diapers, we need food and we have nothing displaced by war. have been particularly vulnerable and able to afford basic necessities. health workers who visit the camp

say never before have they seen so many cases of malnourished children. the international aid agency save the children, says 65 percent, have not had meat, fruits and vegetables for at least 3 months. we know this combination and years of conflict, very cold. and the dire situation has really affected. so when you put all those children, especially very young children just aren't getting your chance to grow up in government held areas, there is a bread crisis. the cash strapped state has been forced to reduce subsidies and ration a main staple that more families can no longer buy 1600 .

so at some point can the syrian currency has lost much of its value that affected food prices, which are now the highest ever recorded the world food program says $1300000.00 syrians don't have access to sufficient food and an additional 2 point $2000000.00 are at risk across the country that is half the population expired meal because it's a cheaper we also buy the cheapest food for the other kids so they don't cry from hunger and of that it's been 10 years of war and displacement. there's still no peace. the battle now is against hunger in every corner of the divided country.
