if you want to help save the world into your own iran holds an extraordinary session of parliament debating changes to its nuclear commitments. hello, i'm adrian from again, this is al jazeera live from doha, also coming up 2 more states certify the president elect's victory joe biden. also unveils his team to tackle the u.s. economy. almost a quarter of a 1000000000 people worldwide will move, will need some form of aid in the next year. the effects of the pandemic exacerbating an already dire situation and destroying the planet's long this

alarming level of deforestation. in the brazilian amazon iran's parliament has been debating significant changes to rules governing its nuclear program. politicians of just passed a draft motion to halt unrestricted access by the international atomic energy agency to its nuclear sites. let's go live to tell us a bacon tell us more said so. what does this ratification by iran's parliament mean? well, it was overwhelmingly passed by 251 parliamentarians in the parliament made up of majority conservative politicians. now what they've asked the government to do, what they're asking, the government to do is stop inspectors from accessing iran's nuclear sites. now that's a part of something called the additional protocol which iran has been biding by

since 2015. now what that means is that currently i.a.e.a. inspectors have access to all of iran's nuclear sites without restriction and without giving prior. notice now these parliamentarians want to stop that. the other thing that they're asking for is for iran to enrich uranium to 20 percent. now, according to the 2015 nuclear deal, that limit was set at 3.5 percent. iran has increased it to 4.6 percent. now this is asking for it to be increased even further. now that's alarming, because once you get to 20 percent, it doesn't take much more effort to get to 80 percent, which is weapons grade. but it's important to note that iran has always maintained . it doesn't want a nuclear weapon, but it will be concerning for other countries that if specters are stopped from coming into the country essentially makes the world blind to what we are to what iran is doing. but this is conservative, m.p.'s their 1st response to the assassination of iran's needs scientist. and they want to do something. but there is

a dispute between the conservatives and the reformists. now the reformist government headed by president hassan rouhani. they have said that they don't think this is helpful or necessary that their government oppose this, but the speaker of parliament who is a conservative. but he said, he said once this was passed, the era of the one sided game is over. so what happens next? well, this motion now goes to the guardian council and also the supreme national security council and the president has. and ronnie sits on that. it has to be ratified, approved by them. now the issue is that this motion is also given a 2 month deadline, so it doesn't, it doesn't mean that straightaway i.a.e.a. inspectors will be banned or the start enriching to 20 percent. and essentially, it gives the united states and europe some time, allows president elect joe biden to get into office and give those executive orders as foreign minister divides. raef has previously said that all it takes is

executive orders from the new president, and he will overturn everything that donald trump has done so it's giving them that leeway. however, if joe biden doesn't do that, then this could come into play if it is approved by the guardian council and the supreme supreme national security council. but there is a divide in this country. you have the conservatives on one side who have a majority in parliament and they say enough is enough. we need to take action. negotiations haven't worked. they've criticized the reformist and the policy of strategic patience, saying that we've signed the deal. we've had negotiations and what have you been rewarded with the united states has pulled out of this deal imposed sanctions on iran and also assassinated general glosson for the money early in the year. and now the lead scientist in iran was assassinated. so they're very angry. they want to respond straight to a restaurant for mr. saying, let's hold on. let's wait. this is helpful to the president elect. joe biden gets in, and hopefully things will change reporting live from tehran. i said many thanks.

indeed, a 2nd u.s. drug maker, but donna has announced that it's asking regulations there and in the european union for emergency approval for its covert 19 vaccine. but donna says that its final trial results confirm that it's more than 94 percent effective. it's a week behind pfizer fueling hopes that the u.s. could have to approve frank scenes by the end of the cables on the reports that also growing concerns about the approval process. a 2nd coronavirus vaccine now awaiting approval by u.s. regulators. moderna, an ounce of its vaccine is ready and if approved for emergency use, the company will start rolling out the 1st doses of the vaccine. by late december, we have worked very closely with a question about speed. and as we said, you know, we should have a, it's going to be done those. he's a baby on the way, you know. so as soon as we get approval or gun and these teams are going to get all of a vaccine. we have and stuff shipping it in the country is goal is to vaccinate americans

with the 24 hours on the pro. moderne is a small pharmaceutical company based in cambridge, massachusetts that has never successfully brought a vaccine to market. it got a big jump on its competitors because it started working aggressively on a covert vaccine back in january. the very day china released the genetic data on the corona virus. that early foresight is now paying off the company saying it hopes to produce as many as 500000000 covert vaccine doses next year alone. earlier this month, new york based vaccine maker pfizer and its german partner by and tech announced its vaccine was also being submitted for approval and could roll out $50000000.00 doses this year. with pfizer, we have the f.d.a. announced an advisory committee for december the 10th. and if everything is on track, everything proves out what, what it appears to be. we could be looking at approval within days after that.

madonna is basically one week behind that distribution of the vaccines could be a challenge that is fast approaching. the vaccines must be kept in cold temperatures at all times during transport and storage, or face the risk of spoiling and being ineffective. but it doesn't matter how many vaccines are available. if people decide they don't want to take them. here in the united states, one poll showed that nearly 40 percent of americans said they have no plans to take the coronavirus vaccine. and within minority communities, particularly blacks and latinos, the distrust runs even deeper. with this same poll showing that nearly half said when it comes to the back scene. no, thanks. on monday, new york governor andrew cuomo said more outreach needs to be done to build trust with minorities, to take the vaccine blackstar to twice the rate that whites start. brown died one and a half times the rate that whites died. they are less served by the health care

facilities. we need a special outreach effort. federal government has provided no funding to do that. but global health officials say it's a problem around the world. yes, you know, around the world in general and about calling boxes of this scene is growing for everybody. but there is growing anticipation of the vaccine rollouts health officials caution. it will likely be several more months before distribution is ramped up to meet global demand to truly have a chance to end the pandemic once. and for all gabriel sandow al-jazeera new york u.s. president of trump's coronavirus advisor scott hapless, has resigned after just 4 months on the post atlas repeatedly downplayed the importance of mosques and described lockdowns as an epic failure. he was criticized

by infectious diseases expert anthony thought she who accused us of giving the president, misleading or false information on the pandemic. the final 2 contested states, wisconsin and arizona, have certified their election results in favor of joe biden. the process is normally a formality but took on added significance as president trump continues his baseless claims of electoral fraud. kristen salumi reports the governor of arizona. a republican makes it official signing off on election results, declaring democrat joe biden. the winner in his state, by just over 10000 votes, arizona's secretary of state assured voters the election was conducted by the book . you can see accuracy and fairness in accordance with arizona's law and elections procedures, despite numerous unfounded claims to the contrary. those claims coming from none other than president donald trump and his personal attorney, rudy giuliani,

who met with some arizona state republicans still looking for evidence of fraud that has yet to materialize. while the president's supporters gathered outside 4 out of 5 legal challenges waged by republicans in arizona have been dismissed by the courts. in wisconsin. the president's campaign paid $3000000.00 for recounts in 2 counties, but that only turned up more votes for biden. and that state too, has now officially been certified for the democrat. a recount is essentially an audit of the process that verifies the accuracy of the balloting process. that takes place on election day. i promise that this would be a transparent fair process, and it was both wisconsin and arizona where one by trump, in 2016. this makes joe biden the 1st democrat to win a presidential election in arizona since 1996 president trump has 5 days to contest

the results. there and in wisconsin, which he is expected to do. christen salumi al jazeera wilmington, delaware. the united nations is warning of a dramatic increase in policy as a result of the pandemic. it says that 235000000 people around the world will need some form of humanitarian aid. next year, record high, the number of claims for assistance has increased by 40 percent from one of every $45.00 people to one in 33. this year donors gave a record $17000000000.00 to fund a doper ations that reached 70 percent of those in need. but for next year, the u.n. says it needs 35000000000 to help people in the world's poorest countries are diplomatic. as the james bay is reports around the world, more people are suffering hardship. the never before. every year it seems, when the u.n. announces the money needs to deal with humanitarian emergencies across the globe.

the figures get bigger and bigger. the u.n. estimates that because of code $19235000000.00, people will need humanitarian assistance, an increase of 40 percent over the figure last year. it's appealing for $35000000000.00 to meet the need and the crisis is far from what humanitarian aid budgets face they are. shortfalls is the impact of the global pandemic continues on with every country suffering economically. as a result of covert 19, the un's undersecretary general for humanitarian affairs mark has the difficult job of persuading leaders to pledge funds to help the most needy on earth. we ask them to remember the people caught up in these crises and just like everyone else and a helping hand and generosity and solidarity is the human thing to need. but we also remind if the kind of problems that weare describing in nice europe or come to

fruition may well have taken effect and they will i ever report wherever they are in the world, there is a combination of generosity and self in yemen is still the worst humanitarian emergency in the world, the u.n. has identified 56 countries that most need assistance. what's worrying them is that many of those have a deteriorating situation, and there are new places being added to the list this year. ethiopia, nagorno-karabakh, and mozambique james al-jazeera of the united nations will get a weather update next here on al-jazeera than the french government backs down on a bill involving police prophecy. after mass protests, scientists solve a 50 year mystery with the help of a special intelligence. we'll hear how it could lead to new treatments for all of diseases.

how i once again welcome, got a look at the international forecast some places say because some slightly quieter weather coming into vietnam. over the next day, outside is still some showers, just rolling in on that northeasterly. a breeze. well, so weather to just making its way towards that eastern side of the philippines. central areas. seeing some sharp showers, the west, that weather will be across southern parts of thailand into the malaysian peninsula . big and thundershowers coming in here over the next day. 07 more the same as we go on through thursday, and notice more of those showers as they should continue to sink their way further south with cropping up across a good part of indonesia to cause you could see some very heavy rain over the next few days. so wet weather there for java joining up with some wet weather that we have just lapping on the skills of northern australia. but for much of the story really has been the hate recently hottest november own record has just been recorded. his still some showers edging. say the course the fall north,

still getting up into the mid thirty's, and alice and rising could touch 39 here as you go on through or thursday. not quite as hot as it has been recently down towards southern parts of australia, but still pretty warm. nevertheless, a 25 in atlanta, 22 for melbourne, and that is somewhat to weather for new south wales. but for the past, past boston travels the roads of mexico, raising the ecological the web. and sharing creative solutions to the country's most dramatic. demonstrated course is a by deep in the struggle for a better speech to the past passed by the cast of the viewfinder, latin america seen on al-jazeera.

again, this is 0. the main news this hour, iran's parliament has approved changes to rules governing its nuclear program. politicians have passed a draft motion to halt, unrestricted access to its nuclear sites by the international atomic energy agency . u.s. drug maker, madonna, is seeking approval from american and european regulators for emergency use of its corona virus vaccine. says the final trial results confirm that it's more than 94 percent effective. and is the 2nd company to file for such approval. at the united nations is warning that a record 235000000 people will require humanitarian aid over the coming year. the

need for food and other assistance has grown more urgent and widespread due to the pandemic. india's government has invited farmers unions for talks following mass protests over new laws that could affect produce prices. tens of thousands of people have been taking part in rallies in new delhi. many travelled from outside of the state farm as a worried that new laws will put an end to minimum prices. they've been guaranteed . and that will allow private bias to determine the cost of crops. let's go live now to single, to al-jazeera as elizabeth is there. so another day of protests liz, what's the latest high adrian that we have been told by some of the farmers union that they are going to attend these talks with the government. and they are going to also continue to block these highways coming into the capital. and the reason for that is because they don't

have a lot of faith in these talks, specially after part of the money, the moody's comments on monday, when he said that these are very big good for farmers and they are in the farm. it's interesting. so that's why i'll go out one of the 2 crossings that remains completely closed off to traffic. and there is, it's very loud here. there's a lot of speeches being made. a lot of music and of the mood is one of defiance. it's also festive at times. but we also have hundreds of police and paramilitary personnel on the other side, keeping a very close eye on things to avoid the kinds of things we saw last week with some violence and tear gas added. and most academy, because there are a lot of different farmers unions, the opinion on whether to engage with the government is divided. and that is because the last round of talks in november when successful farmers union say that the governments didn't listen to them and that they would not rise guarantees

around minimum price for pharmacy projects into law. and that is the most important thing for these farmers. that's what they're most afraid that they're going to lose with these new laws and with the farmers blocking major arteries, causing such disruption. they have the public support is the public with them here they do have a lot of public support. despite the fact that we see commuters who are stranded walking by every now and then in large groups with bags. and the reason for that is because around a hafiz, india's 1300000000 people work in the adult culture set to depend on it. and some ways of these laws are going to impact a lot of people when we went to the ground that was designated for protests by the government. we were met with organizations. a lot of these farmers are from the state of punjab into punjab, be organizations would come with trucks full of food and water to feed the farmers because they, they said that will farmers feed the country and it was now their turn to help them . and it's also because the world's 2nd biggest population,

the reason why it has food security is food secure, is because these farmers have been growing rice and wheat that the indian government asked them to. and lodge quantities decades ago, with the sure and says, of a guaranteed minimum price and the farmers are afraid that these laws will get rid of those guarantees, but also have the 1st international comment about these protests from canadian prime minister justin trudeau. and he said that canada will always stand by the right to protest. that's perhaps not surprising, given that there is, there's something like 500000 people in canada who are often jobby descent. how does or is elizabeth cohen, i'm reporting live there from single? there's many things the amazon rain forest, a shrinking alarming rates with deforestation, not a 12 year high. scientists say the rate of clearing has accelerated since jaya boll sinatra became president of brazil. and we can do environmental protection of

m.p.'s. he reports now from bogota, colombia, from the sky. large swaths of brazil's amazon are increasingly looking like this, with long patches of rain forest destroyed by fires and logging, and it's getting worse. new government data shows the level of destruction is rose almost 10 percent this year to more than 11000 square kilometers, equivalent to 7 times the size of london. it's the highest level in 12 years. and monday, brazil's vice president promised to fight at the struction point 6 percent is not a number to celebrate. on the contrary, as i said here, i desire is not to have illegal deploring station at all inside the amazon. this is what we're fighting for. but environmentalist, believe the government is to blame since taking office 2 years ago, president made it clear down there is watch. the amazon was opening to business and

development. he weakened the country's environmental and force agency and called for more farming and mining in protected areas, which critics say has emboldened illegal ranchers in miners to clear the forest from that have built in brazil over. but we have that of a growing international outcry led by european countries are supposed to send the military into the region to fight the forestation, a little has changed. now critics hope the election of joe biden as u.s., president willing crease the pressure given the strong stance on climate change. but just days ago took an indirect swipe at biden, in its policy in the rain forest. i recently heard a presidential from

a country say that if i don't put out the fire in the amazon, he's going to resist trade barriers against brazil. how do we deal with that? diplomacy is not enough. when there is no more saliva, then there must be gunpowder. but they have to know that the amazon is ours. that is, for the world is like nobody has, but we have it will be difficult to convince a defiant bull sonera to change course. but with the effects of climate change looming, many believe it's a fight on which the health of the entire world depends. i listen to al jazeera, nearly 30 arms control and rights groups have signed a letter to the u.s. congress opposing the sale of $23000000000.00 worth of weapons to the united arab emirates. they say that it will make humanitarian crises in yemen and libya, even worse. 3 senators have proposed legislation to prevent the sale that includes

missiles, drones, and f. $35.00 fighter jets. the deal was approved after a u.s. brokered agreement in september, in which the u.a.e. agreed to normalize relations with israel. saudi arabia has agreed to allow israeli commercial flights, heading to the united arab emirates to cross its airspace. according to the voices, news agency, white house senior adviser, jared krishna is reported to brokered the deal while visiting saudi arabia. he's also expected to travel to council in coming days. a trip believed to be aimed at resolving the disputes between the neighboring countries. leader of ethiopia's t. grey region is warning the conflict between his forces and that arsenal is not over . prime minister ahmed claimed victory over the great people's liberation front on saturday. p.l.f. leaders say that fighting is continuing quote on every front and are accusing abby of trying to deceive the international community. thousands of people are thought

to been killed since early november, and tens of thousands of fled to neighboring sudan, another 33 people have been buried following a massacre on 2 villages, northeastern nigeria, a delegation from nigeria's centers as visit borno state, where the farm workers were attacked in rice fields on saturday, the un says that at least $110.00 civilians were killed and many injured. $43.00 workers were buried on sunday boko haram, a success spectate of carrying out the attacks. france's government has dropped a controversial draft law that would restrict the publishing of images of police. the bill spot large protests on saturday, fueled by anger, over a video of police beating a black man in paris. critics of the law say that it could prevent such incidents from being exposed. a new version of the bill will now be submitted. tashi butler has more from paris on the significance of the proposal. it's clear,

the government has been forced to make a concession because m.p.'s have said that they are going to rewrite the controversial clause in their planned new security law. and how this clause is controversial, because what it does is it would crack down on people's ability to publish air broadcast, images of police officers on duty. the government says that that would help protect the identity of police officers who have to do difficult work. but opponents of this clause say that it is an erosion of press freedoms as an erosion of the right to inform of people's right of expression. and that without images of police officers on duty, police will not be able to be accountable for their actions at a time where we're seeing several officers being accused of police brutality, especially over the past few days. now the government of course, forced to make a concession, i can say that. but on the other hand, i think it's really important to keep it in perspective. because over the last few

days the government has indicated it might rewrite the article of this clause. but what does rewrite mean? no one has actually made that very clear. and i think what many people who want to listen very closely say is that the problem is most people who are against it. the many politicians on all sides of the spectrum really. and protesters, tens of thousands of them who are in the streets on saturday. what they want is the government to just withdraw this article altogether. canada's government has announced its largest stimulus package since the end of the 2nd world war. it's promising to spend tens of billions of dollars to kick start the economy once the pandemic is over, a budget deficit is expected to record to reach a record 294000000000 dollars this year. formula one driver lewis hamilton has gone into isolation after testing positive for covert 19 in bahrain. the 7 time world champion 1st reported mild symptoms on monday,

but is said to be otherwise fish and well, and also won the bahrain formula. one grand prix on sunday, a replacement driver will take his spot for this weekend's gold. prix. biologists have used artificial intelligence to discover a new way to fight disease deep mind. a london based ai lab says that it cannot predict within days how proteins fold into 3 dimensional shapes. that have baffled scientists for 50 years. for the teens of chains of amino acids that twist and bend into a variety of shapes. the discovery is seen as a breakthrough in the fight against diseases including cancer dementia, but even covert 19, a team of raji and oncology experts at karen therapeutics. he says that he's optimistic about its potential uses. there are over 40000 routines in this. so these are all normal scale sequences of the media houses as you

sit at the very floppy. and then we tried to bend around themselves several times before there's thought forming this scalpel. and that's coupled with stored in the region structure, which you called with their free structure. it's nice now we know how they look like. and we know of that interact with other proteins in the cell. and because we know that we can actually question of their function in this world. also, we can actually question how many of the other potential chemicals a drugs can bind to them, can attach themselves to them. and one of these of touch me, what would be the consequence of the function of these proteins? this will allow us to move even faster for drug discovery, guess many diseases because now we care know of these boots. you can look like what all the shades in matter of days. you have to remember that there are so many

things eases that we couldn't tackle. we couldn't win the war against them because we didn't have an insight on how the disease truthy in themselves look like to be able to find a drug against them. civil defense authorities name today's you have expanded a safety zone, a route of al-qaeda that began to erupt on sunday, able than 4000 people have been evacuated from around the in the we're told, look for cato, the government says that it's currently at its 2nd highest level of activity it is good to have you with us. hello adrian for the get here a doha.
