if you want to help save the world. sneeze enduro. al-jazeera. hello there i rather know his name of the al-jazeera news archives the live from doha coming up in the next 60 minutes the u.k. becomes the 1st country in the world to approve pfizer and by own sex covert 19 vaccine for widespread use. the n.h.s. has been preparing for the biggest program of mass vaccination in the history of the u.k. that's going to begin next week. we'll get the latest on the situation at a refugee camp in sudan after tens of thousands escaped the conflict in northern

ethiopia. after months of deadlock a breakthrough in efforts to restart peace talks between the afghan government and the taliban and nearly 4 months after beirut's catastrophic force explosion little faith remains the top officials will be held accountable. and in sport make sure america son of former world champion michael will race in formula one next season 21 year old has signed for the house team 3 decades on from his father's f one day . the u.k. has become the 1st country to approve the fines are by on sac covert 19 vaccine for public use it will start to be administered to high priority groups within days was a major breakthrough in. the efforts to tackle

a disease that killed nearly one and a half 1000000 people around the world in the last ira prime minister boris johnson praise science says for their work on the vaccine but said people still need to be cautious it will inevitably take some months before all the most vulnerable are protected long cold months so it's all the more vital that as we celebrate this scientific achievement we're not carried away with over optimism or fall into the naive belief that the struggle is over it's not we've got to stick to our winter plan paul brennan reports now from london. the approval of a vaccine almost exactly a year since coded 901st emerged in china is a triumph for science the final trial data for the pfizer buy on tech vaccine was only submitted to the u.k. regulator the m h r a a week ago but as a result of

a process of rolling approval examining data even as the trials were taking place the regulator has been able to move swiftly and confidently to declare it effective and safe the safety of the vaccine has been scrutinized independently by our commission on human medicines and no stone has been left unturned so absolute confidence in the safety effectiveness and quality of the pfizer violent tech vaccine. brussels airport has been demonstrating its refrigerated cargo facilities in expectation of a major role in distributing the belgian made vaccine britain has bought 40000000 doses of the pfizer buy on tech job in the 1st 800000 doses will be shipped to the u.k. within days we're packing vials of vaccine as we speak only shipping in the next 2448 hours the 1st batch is to the u.k. $10000000.00 doses will be delivered by the end of the year and the remainder will

arrive during 2021 this is a monumental step forward it's no longer if there's going to be a vaccine it's when in our battle against the virus help is on its way there are still challenges this specific vaccine needs to be kept within minus 70 celsius and minus 80 celsius meaning that hospitals will almost certainly have to be the main hubs for distribution but it can be kept for up to 5 days at normal fridge temperature between 2 degrees and 8 degrees celsius individuals need to japs $21.00 days apart for full protection and in the u.k. a committee called the j c v i says elderly care home residents and their carers. will be 1st in line in order to protect the most vulnerable we have prioritized the most vulnerable individuals 1st the other element is protection of the n.h.s. health and social care system because by protecting the n.h.s.

we osu protect lives the challenge now is to manufacture and distribute the quantities required to meet what will inevitably be extraordinary demand britain has a head start but the united states has ordered 100000000 doses of the pfizer biotech job on the european union 200000000 the u.k.'s progress is being watched keenly elsewhere to be that we were to reason about some sort of art of hope they'll be rolled out everywhere in the world as soon as possible because we really need it what england does and why i'm not sure i hope it comes to italy soon there are several other vaccines undergoing final stage trials and vaccine candidates by modern oxford astra zeneca have been submitted to regulators with the u.k.'s approval pfizer bio on tac are leading the field the options for tackling this global pandemic are likely to get even wider within a matter of weeks paul brennan al-jazeera london well let's get more now from the barker he joins us from our london broadcast center needs the u.k.

now has a vaccine to use but the prime minister is also saying a significant note of caution there about the weeks and months that lie ahead. yeah boris johnson the prime minister was essentially saying that more work needs to be done never to bully the race to develop a successful vaccine has now led to this new race the race to regulate the u.k. appears to be leading but the question is when it comes to the the logistics of rolling it out whether the u.k. will continue to lead so in the meantime while the distribution of axioms across the country to vulnerable groups being worked out this key message from the prime minister that more discipline is going to be needed over the course of these winter months where vulnerable people are still the risk of developing covert 19 the national health service is also potentially under strain as well some good news on

wednesday that sections of the economy well out to reopen the stay at home order has been lifted but that blanket list of restrictions that have been in place the past has now been replaced by the tiered approach for some sort of face some very stiff resistance from members of his own political party for bringing back in these restrictions but he believes that they are needed the people essentially to hold their nerve that too much work is being done now to give it away too soon and needs the prime minister he addressed the nation just a few moments ago and during that press conference we did learn more about the significant logistical challenges that this need vaccine sales how difficult is it going to be to get that vaccine into people's arms. well it sounds like this could be hugely challenging because we also heard from the

head of n.h.s. england national health service head who described exactly what's going to happen we know that 40000000 doses have been ordered the government hopes that $10000000.00 will be available by the end of the year within the next 24 to 48 hours we believe the 1st bunch of around $800000.00 doses will arrive able to be used to treat 400000 people because you need 2 doses $21.00 days apart for the vaccine to be affected the vaccine itself needs to be kept at minus 70 degrees centigrade during the entire process and which is transferred from the place of matter if i'm sure in brussels all the way to the hubs we believe hospitals initially at least where it will be administered initially to vulnerable people we also gather that the vaccine actually will arrive in bunches of 975 doses that colp be broken up which means that they can't be distributed widely to boxes in lots of

different towns and cities across the country hence the need for the vaccine to be sent to these hubs the hospitals 50 also across the country we gather also that the regulator who's approved it here in the u.k. will continue to look at how the vaccine is being used with a view to seeing whether that approach can approach can be adapted water warning the very last see from a european regulator who has yet to give the vaccine or the green light they are worried about a rush by the british regulator to get this out to sued the british regulator saying that they're on top of it that no court has there have been cuts a need barkha they're bringing all the very latest from london thank you very much indeed. well the u.k. is laying the groundwork for when a vaccine is approved and ready to go in the u.s. health secretary alex's are says people should feel reassured about the facts in

safety and effectiveness given its approval in the u.k. came from an independent regulator or vaccination in the united states could start in the next few weeks let's get more now from andy gallacher he joins us live from miami. and you just tell us a bit more about what the health secretary in the united states had to say. well he's telling the american public who are somewhat cautious about taking this vaccine that look here is a different nation that has gone through independent testing this should reassure people in this nation that it is safe to take vaccines of course over the next few days the federal and drug administration will be reviewing 2 emergency request to get drugs approved so it is very much coming to this nation of course will go to people in long term care facilities and those on the front lines in medical stuff

but there is a thing in this country where you you heard about anti vaccines people that don't trust vaccines i think alex aids are is really trying to overcome that particular hurdle so you've got to vaccines looking for emergency approval another 2 coming shortly after that meanwhile in other news that is code related in this nation there is the possibility of a cobra relief package now coming it's a $500000000000.00 relief package that may go towards the president he may sign it he may not it's a very complicated issue at the moment because the democrats have turned this particular package down twice before over the last 6 months of course i've been arguing about the amounts of money that this economy needs. mitch mcconnell's putting forward 500000000000 dollars the democrats have put forward 900000000000 dollars in the past that's been in the trillions but it may not get approved approved in the house because that is controlled by the democrats but the chair of the federal reserve says it's better to give too much than not enough because of

the economic harm being caused by the covert virus but we are still for the moment in that stalemate where that money hasn't yet reached the people that really really need it at the moment so we'll have to wait and see what happens in the coming days and weeks. thank you very much indeed andy calico there joining us live from miami . there's plenty more still to come on this news hour including russia's president orders the start of a mass call with vaccination program and we'll tell you why and there's another election on the horizon bias in israel plus there's the sports i'm going to hear from one of basketball's biggest stars ahead of his long awaited return. belated nations says it signed a deal with ethiopia's government to get unrestricted humanitarian access to the

region the agreements will allow aid workers see access fessor of the controlled areas within a 1000000 people or thoughts are being displaced by fighting which began nearly a month ago or tens of thousands of refugees have fled the conflict in tikrit over the border to sit down and let's speak now jan egeland the sexy general of the norwegian refugee council he joins us live from. a refugee camp in sudan's eastern kadar of states thank you so much for joining us on the news are the people who are in the camp or your have fled from what have they been telling you about the situation on the grounds. i've been meeting a lot of refugees today many families and they tape tell here horrific stories of violence of but their villages that towns being attacked. there is that

commonality of the civilian population being in crossfire and young men being hunted down so in the camp. where we are running school where we are giving unconditional cash to people there is a lot of young men who have fled for their life they had nothing to do with with any armed group they were just. under danger because they were young men well that i mean their alarming reports that they said who has been attacking them because we're hearing conflicting reports from the governments and from the t.p.m. left the. people's liberation front here is that those calls in these atrocities. indeed reporter conflicting but it's very clear that those who came here to the eastern border of

sudan theo they fled violence there's no other way to describe it and they are filled with fear they are not going back until there is a comprehensive peace agreement and there is protection of civilians so what we need now know which a refugee council is is both been on the border or here on the sudanese side and we're in grave we have 90 relief workers inside to gray who were there to work for the eritrean refugees we need access to all people in need into gray so i'm glad the u.n. say they have a deal i hope it can be effective way to immediately we're ready to go tomorrow ok well let's talk about that u.n. deal because the the individuals here in the camp where you are there arguably the lucky ones they live be unable to leave the region many more people have not been

able to because of the u.n. deal. organizations like yourselves will be able to to get access to that region how important is this to get to the people who need that aids and how worried are you about the staff that you have in the area who are there to look after eritrean refugees i mean have you had any contact with them a toll. no we have not i mean so really we're desperate because for a month now we haven't really had contact even with their own staff aid workers on the ground there's been no communications or networks have been cut conflicting reports about who's doing what to whom including what's happening to the 100000 every tree and refugees they fled to eritrea they thought that the safe haven in t.

grey and now they were involved in the fighting so it's it is a golden principle of you're going to turn work that we are always allowed to come to the vulnerable in their hour of greatest need and integrate we have been prevented from such access we need to have it now i would also appeal for the border to be kept open between at the opiah and sudan so that those who need to seek shelter here can still come here in recent days we've seen fewer people cross the border for i don't know for which recent the border 'd needs to be open and how much of a concern is that do you think that people are being trapped inside this war zone unable to escape in terms of certainly you say that you have already have camps inside the city grey region. you haven't had contact with them for 3 months and goodness knows what will await you when you're finally able to get access there but

i mean are there enough supplies it's a last site a month or the month or so that you've not been able to get things into the region . when we had we actually had done some distributions just before this the conflict broke out in the beginning of them so the had been distributions. most nervous actually of the violence itself of that we're not there to protect the people. there had been some distributions now we need to come with much more in so-called noise have been ready for many organizations for a lot of time they've not been allowed in hopefully that will happen in the next few days and more than anything we need an end to take the conflict that we cannot have another ethnic war in india and africa on top of all of the problems that we are now facing including here in sudan where there are also 2000000 internally

displaced a 1000000 refugees from previous wars and conflicts and an economic crisis i mean we're overwhelmed we're overstretched we need peace now indeed. they're sexy general of the norwegian refugee kind so great to speak with you thank you so much for joining us here on al-jazeera and we do hope that you are able to gain access to that region we have been prevented from getting in there is very important to tell the stories of these people who have been trapped in that war zone no contacts in that region for a month thank you very much in. greece. well earlier al jazeera spoke to one university student and that raku by refugee camp a huge says he had no option but to leave home. my full name is the cost in q do our guy. 25 cities or world i came from to drive down from or

a. i was happy when i was there with my family and our help in my family i was playing with my friends i was playing with my brothers even my mother sitting there you know when you are far away from your family you know. you maybe you become unhappy it becomes time i pray to god to see my family when i go to church i pray to god to receive my family and i feel sad when i think of the future of this all people as well because. there are so many people there was there out of the family like father like mother like sister brother i mean there are some. people as there was on good life like the civil servants of the house the salary payments they can make their lives with but this wire it

becomes bring to the bad life the sake of this one special effects of this one so many people they go to their children. their become hopeless have stayed for 10 days but when i look over now that i have observed this oil company there is not good food. still now some of them they sleep on the ground some of them they slip on the plastic. this is not good still 2024 to go people this is a bad you know all the i don't remember family in my life. it's bad you know for the future of the civil existence become pool. even died on the drugs why because there is not any sort of. by the look the condition or the feeling was. harvesting season. if you look at the 3rd ago if you look at the system. not have

us. you know if the. people ate both and they live on the agriculture. for harvesting like. to go there to swim you know. if they cannot part of it how they can leave already are i don't want to go back there right because. there is not freedom if there is not this. kind of growth and if there is freedom. wherever that's michael. after months of deadlock there's been a breakthrough in efforts to restart peace talks between the afghan governments and the taliban representatives from both sides say they've agreed on a framework for negotiations or the agreements only covers procedure both sides will begin discussing the agenda for talks which would include a cease fire agreements that are not there really is a member of the afghan peace negotiations seen here in doha he says discussions are moving forward despite the ongoing accent that the ongoing violence. there is no

doubt the people of afghanistan are fed up with this why continue that tack on our institution of public infrastructure of innocent lives that are being taken through attacks carried out more intensely in the past few months but the very fact that they 'd are with violence makes it more necessary to engage more . into peace discussion our primary the people of i'm very month interest to silence the gun to reach to a cease fire and that's what we are committed to achieve there is no discussion about the citizens by our key partners it is a sovereign decision of them but as long as much as it depends on our side the public of us then is committed both to defend and protect our people and our 'd

constitution but also commit that fully genuinely with good faith to reach a peaceful settlement in this war. saving lebanon from economic ruin is the focus of an international donor conference being led spy the french president emmanuel and my crew and the unsexy general antonio good 10 ish virtual events is being hosted by france send its participants include senior government representatives as well as non-governmental organizations. the 2nd conference which completes the emergency response cannot replace the involvement of lebanon's political leaders and its institutions they must form a government to soon as possible and implement reforms with that which the international economic aid mechanism cannot be triggered. let's get more now from santa hauteur who joins us from beirut this 8 conference just tell us how important then necessary it is for the people in lebanon who've been faced with

such incredible hardship over this past year. yes it has been a difficult year for many lebanese more than half the population now in poverty unemployment at 40 percent people losing jobs businesses are closing it's really the worst economic crisis this country has seen in decades but mccall made it clear this conference is about emergency assistance about providing funds for the recovery efforts particularly after that massive explosion that they were poor at that the story of many areas of the capital this is not about rescuing a political class this conference is about helping the lebanese people mccraw reiterating what the international community really has been demanding for weeks and months now for the political class which has been governing this country for decades to agree to reforms economic reforms agreed to fight corruption and so far

they've been reluctant to do that because doing that means losing their grip or their hold on a power but the international community is making it clear there won't be a bailout there will not be in the words of the u.s. ambassador any free lunch for these politicians any longer but without that money the billions of dollars that is needed then it cannot really kick start the economy already the central bank is saying they don't have enough foreign currency reserves to keep on subsidizing food medicine and fuel which means there could be a real social crisis in the weeks ahead and indeed seen as been for months since that devastating blast the b. route poor it's an investigation is not. conclusions as it comes to where is the investigation is it stands.

well human rights groups really have criticized this investigation saying it hasn't been transparent it hasn't been credible people feel many people feel that high level accountability that's won't happen because so far the judge has been investigating a the blast has not given and made any indictments in fact he arrested a few custom imports officials low and mid-level officials what people want are high ranking officials to be held to account people up to the president who knew about the presence of this material at the ports who knew that this was potentially hazardous material it was left an unsafe conditions at the airports warehouse for years so they believe they will not be held to account really in a country where a country with a culture of impunity and many many people are still struggling to rebuild their lives. on the front line of the explosion and from 4 months ago nobody helped us on august

a powerful explosion believed to be caused by ammonium nitrate dot com fire ripped through port its impact was felt kilometers away 200 people were killed thousands were wounded and tens of thousands made homeless. extended family used to live in this 8 story building still displaced how can we come back in the state. thousands of lebanese have been struggling to rebuild their homes the cash strapped government has largely been absent and geos can only do so much piers family didn't just lose their homes they lost a brother jacob what's happening grief is now compounded with anger towards a political class that acknowledged knowing about potentially explosive material and safely stored for years they destroy not only this city not only my houses and my brother houses and i would. in vain we lost everything we

lost any hope survivors and victims' families and human rights groups believe high ranking officials including the president should be held to account so far the investigation has focused on port and customs employees like other explosions and associations were not locally tried and therefore we called for an international investigation there is little faith of lebanon's judiciary long accused the big politicized there's also little faith in the political class accused of decades of corruption and that legends now some accuse officials of wanting to bury the past by demolishing structures at the port that have come to symbolize what happened to beirut and its people the state says the grain silos risk collapse an assessment dismissed by some experts who say the structures should be kept as a memorial there is a similar situation that happened in hiroshima when the hiroshima bomb

explodes. organized a sort of memory park to recall the the memory of the tragedy in lebanon we used to raise only way 'd to the memorial to richard the grain silos are credited for absorbing the brunt of the explosion and limiting the damage to the western half of the city there are also evidence of a crime many fear may go unpunished in a country with a legacy of impunity. so there could there be 2. representatives from libya's 2 rival powers are preparing to meet for their 1st joint session since 2014 parliament members are traveling to the city of qatar missing in western libya the meeting on monday a highly anticipated session follows talks in morocco where the rivals agreed on a framework to end the year's long division stephanie williams is the acting united

nations envoy to libya she says its political representatives need to come together to see the peace process through. with the political process now moving forward a unified parliament is going to be needed particularly you know should there be and we very much hope that there will be agreement on unification of the executive in advance of the national elections which were decided upon by the libyan political dialogue. on november 15th in tunis and that was significant decision and now all of the institution need to produce the conditions in order to make those elections a reality time isn't on anybody's side here we now have something like $20000.00 foreign forces and or mercenaries in the country now we have 10 libyan

military bases which are either fully or partially occupied by foreign forces this is a blatant buy aleisha in a libyan sovereignty and a blatant violation of the u.n. arms embargo it has to come incumbent upon all of these actors to respect libyan requests for them to depart their country so that the libyans can come together so that the ceasefire agreement can actually be implemented that military forces can withdraw from these areas in central libya where the civilian police forces can enter where civilians can feel safe where the threat of war and violence receive there is now a constituency of change in the country there is a desire to to come together to acknowledge that and there are well justified fears and there is justified lack of confidence between the different the different

parties but you know the country is slipping away. still to come here on al-jazeera 3 pro-democracy activists in home coner jailed for their role in last year's anti-government protests. and in school board last season's champions league runners up face a fine let's just say in this year's competition and he will be here through sports they say in the show. we've still got rain in the forecast for the middle east yeah unusual i never got that bad of clouds stretched across saudi arabia it's in the gulf pushing up well points north isolated say some west of weather coming into the levant syria lebanon jordan seeing some wetter weather showers there through iraq pushing over towards

the caspian basin west where that you see this line of right just coming out to ciaran q.h. riyadh pushing right down towards mecca we've seen some flooding just to the northwest of riyadh recently i think over the next couple of days we could see further flooding coming through here the rate really quite widespread here so that will cause some problems over the next few days difficult travelling conditions to the south of that it is generally fine and dry here in qatar temperatures getting up to 28 celsius in doha but plenty of sunshine that sunshine stretches down across the whole of africa we have got the usual showers across central parts of africa and you see how they slide their way further south was right down towards southern parts of mozambique so we got some weather weather particularly around the rift valley some big and heavy showers continues to come in here so we'll see those showers stretch anywhere from around southern kenya tanzania right the way down into zimbabwe.

a different perspective on al-jazeera. this is al jazeera a quick reminder of the top stories this hour the u.k. government has approved the pfizer and beyond tech covert 19 vaccine a committee says it's expects to start inoculating those most at risk including health workers and care home residents from next week the united nations says it signed a deal with ethiopia as government to get on the street to humanitarian access to the to gray region more than a 1000000 people have thoughts have been displaced by the fighting which began nearly a month ago. and the afghan government and the taliban have agreed to work on

a framework for peace talks such a months of deadlock the agreements only covers procedure both sides will begin discussing the agenda for talks which would include a cease fire deal. that iran has approved new legislation that would allow the resumption of higher levels of uranium enrichment the bill which was passed by parliament on choose say was signed into law after approval by iran's top decision making body will stop on the streets and cite access by the international atomic energy agency the legislation has been seen as a show of defiance after the killing of a top iranian nuclear scientist last friday dosage of baria reports from to her on the speaker of parliament. has now sent a letter to present hassan rouhani informing him that the guardian council has approved this bill a motion and it is now been signed into law and they're calling it the strategic

action for the lifting of sanctions this means that the government has. 2 months to see whether or not any of the signatories to the nuclear deal of 200-2015 would lift the sanctions they've imposed on iran since the united states withdrew from the deal in 2018 unless there is some sanctions relief the government is now large by law to decrease its cooperation with the international atomic energy agency and what the parliament wants to do is to go back up to 20 percent enriched level and richmond levels of uranium in the country's nuclear program as well as to put in some advanced centrifuges also to stop allowing i inspect hers to come into the country without any advance notice to inspect nuclear sites the most important point within this new law is that there is a 2 month period there's a grace period and i think that is very significant because this will allow the incoming biden administration

a very small window of opportunity to see whether or not they can actually do something to relieve some of the sanctions on iran but present one ronnie had or has already said that this new bill is detrimental to diplomacy and his government has voiced their discontent at what parliament has done but whether or not he has any choice in the matter will remain to be seen because if the government doesn't abide by these rules which this new law there are penalties that the parliament can enforce on officials within the government israel could be heading towards its 4th general election in less than 2 years after lawmakers passed a preliminary bill to dissolve parliament one of the people backing it says alternate prime minister benny gantz he says he's lost patience with his coalition partner binyamin netanyahu and is ready to break their alliance for long overdue budget isn't passed immediately believed superset of the 3 votes before it becomes

law. no you really are slow york because really you know i had no illusions in regard to netanyahu i knew his record as a serial promise violator but i thought that the citizens of israel are more important than any leader and that netanyahu will rise to the occasion it didn't happen netanyahu promised unity he promised netanyahu said there will be no tricks he promised responsible management of the corona crisis and the public is paying the price he didn't lie to me he lied to you. very false it has more from question priscilla. $61.00 to $54.00 at least on a preliminary reading that doesn't mean that parliament immediately dissolves itself 1st it has to go to committee there is likely to be a fair bit of horse trading potentially some attempts to resolve some of the splinters within the coalition although that is a pretty risky bet at the moment if you're betting on that to happen given what you

just heard from benny gantz so we're probably looking at a couple more weeks at least before the next 3 readings that are required 3 votes before this becomes law and the israeli parliament the knesset dissolves at celtic and is towards 4th elections for benny gantz he was put in this position by essentially by the opposition which brought this bill and also by his own increasingly. difficult chances of taking the premiership himself under the coalition deal that he made with benjamin netanyahu in may the 2 are supposed to rotate the premiership with gantt supposedly taking over in november next year but for that to happen there has to be a state budget for 2 years that was part of the deal and so far netanyahu has continually put that off there was an extension on agreeing to that budget which has given a deadline of december the 23rd for that to take place or elections are automatically

triggered anyway so this is a way that netanyahu could take what he wanted from that coalition deal i.e. becoming prime minister again after the most recent round of elections and as many predicted without actually having of the power to benny gantz himself. israel has released more than $1000000000.00 in tax money that's been withheld from the palestinian authority since may the funds are normally transferred monthly but palestine stopped the arrangements when israel announced plans to annex parts of the occupied west bank you to bring him has more from ramallah. this is the money israel collects on behalf of the palestinian authority and because palestinians do not have borders of their own of their own they rely on israel to do these calculations and pay them at the end of every month and that allowed the palestinian authority to pay its public now in may the palestinian president said

that the palestinians are no longer abiding by signed agreements with israel including security coordination and the coordination that used to happen between palestinian and israeli officials to allow transfer of that money the result meant that the palestinians with interest any of that money since may and that has caused the palestinian public in to only receive half a century for a couple of months and this has crippled the economy now 2 weeks ago the palestinians have said that they received a letter from an israeli government official saying that israel will be abiding by agreements signed with the palestinians so they decided to resume coordination and accept receiving that money and i'm sure we all know that this also has something to do with the fact that president elect joe biden has won the elections and we might be seeing a little bit of an advancement when it comes to the palestinians and israelis now

as far as the world bank is concerned the palestinian economy is still crippled even though that the salaries might be paid there are a lot of factors that have led to a very weak economy and not to forget that a part of that was the latest restrictions related to the coronavirus spend. half a 1000000 children are going hungry because of violence and displacements in picking a fight so the united nations this morning they're just one step away from famine nicholas hope has more. tired and hungry hubby was sore and her 3 young children are desperate to reach a u.n. clinic at nearly 2 years old her son hussein and weighs as much as a newborn when as they arrive you a nurse provides them with small sachets of peanut paste the only meal the family will have on this day she says all she wants is to return home fled her village and
