this is al jazeera. television on the clock this is the news hour live from doha coming up in the next 60 minutes russia begins mass vaccinations against 19 despite global concerns about the speed with which it's being rolled out. ethiopia's prime minister faces criticism for his hand leave it to great crisis as aid agencies struggle to reach

thousands displaced by violence india's farmers threaten the nationwide strike as talks go on to resolve the standoff against a new law on crop prices. and a record number of women on the ballots as polls open in q weights on the entry election. and sport the u.s. passes a controversial law to prosecute those involved in don't bring international it's. so that russia is pushing ahead with the 1st stage of its large scale cavan 1000 vaccination program teachers doctors social workers they're all set to get the locally produced sputnik vaccine around 2000000 russians are expected to be inoculated this month while some scientists welcome the news others are saying that the data had been rushed out too early the u.k. was the 1st country to approve the vaccine from pfizer. by and take it was granted

emergency authorization by british regulators and the 1st doses they're expected to be rolled out from early next week and the american drug maker is filing for us in a european emergency approval of its covert $1000.00 vaccine and regulators that will look at trial data and decide if it's safe and effective enough to roll out its alright let's cross over to alexandra got frog who joins us live now from moscow and alexandra i think you're inside to a vaccination center that tell us how it's been rolled out and what's been happening. yes indeed we are in one of the vaccination centers in the center of moscow in moscow clinic that opened today there is in total they say 70 of such centers in which patients after they signed for it online now these are very specific categories that get the priority that is people working in health care education in a social services they have to be younger than 60 and they have to be in of

generally good health because people with chronical diseases are not liable to get to this of a scene yet still the procedure is that after they signed in they get their time and date and there was 1st people coming in here they 1st get a journal checkup then there is a procedure to defrost the vaccine that has to be kept in the temperatures below minus 18 celsius and then after the shot so they're left to rest for like 30 minutes to see if there is any reaction to this now the massive x. nation started in moscow today by the end of next week it should spread to the rest of the russia and i have to say that actually quietly had already started in previous weeks away to some hospitals being offered to get the shots or not as a part of a clinical trial but to get vaccinated also army started vaccinating it's worse now and the minister of defense of russia says they are doing it by temple $504.00 people per day so russia was the 1st to register the vaccine and is the 1st to

start a massive a vaccination. to those people we see behind you obviously pretty much comfortable with the concept of being vaccinated but there are those in russia and indeed outside who are very skeptical about this. yes indeed and this is also due to the fact that when it was rather stated that russian vaccines. actually just finished the 2nd phase of the trial and the date that was not published at that moment it was an emergency registration procedure at that point they didn't even start. the 3rd phase clinical trial and at this point when people are getting their jabs the 3rd phase is not yet over it will be over by the 1st of may we don't know this results of what was going on we know only what we are told by the producer institute off gamma ray which are saying they're saying that on the 1st $22000.00 volunteers there was no serious problems and that the deficiency of these that scene is somewhere between

a 92 and 95 percent and that the full immunity develops after $42.00 days but as i say these results are not published since the 3rd phase of a clinical trial is not yet finished so there is a skepticism when searching much and how far we can trust such such as the 8 or so vaccines being rolled out in a moscow alexandra good for thanks very much indeed let's hear now from simon clark who's an associate professor in microbiology at the university of reading and he says that the approval for this russian vaccine has been rushed out too early. i think the skepticism around this comes from the fact that it's been worked on very quickly it's be to be developed very quickly and it appears to be big put into the general population rather it earlier than it would do if you have been developed say in the u.k. but the trials that doesn't go on do not appear to have been as extensive as they

would have been in this country well they haven't done is there live injected into people. looks to see whether a control group who didn't have a vaccine they would have had something out of the blue to happen vaccine have different rates of infection and that's how they come up with the 95 percent number but those those study groups are still very small of the smaller they are and i think this is possibly a problem with the russians it was the small of those groups are the less accurate there are so while it might have some efficacy. because they use a small study groups claiming 95 percent efficacy this stage may be a bit premature salmon just one last question would you recommend taking this russian batson would you take it yourself i would want to see a lot more data from this russian vaccine i mean i would probably be part of a trials that would bother me but i would do that knowing that it happened

gone through as an extensive trial regime as perhaps other vaccines have. talking to a little bit earlier well while the dutch government has announced it wants to start vaccinating against covert $9000.00 in early january many in the netherlands a less than enthusiastic survey suggests that nearly half of the dutch population and serious doubts about getting a job. reports now from. stocking up on dry ice needed to keep defy sobyanin tech taxi at minus 70 degrees even in mid air at amsterdam airport a large operation is gearing up to safely transport covert 900 backseats to destinations as far as africa and asia we have been preparing and we've been moving pharmaceutical go for a long time we've expanded our pool capacity and also are having capacity for instance for his containers so we are immediately ready but outside the airport many in the netherlands are far from pier while the dutch national airline is

getting ready to do this or butte that seems worldwide millions here in the netherlands are still reluctant to be vaccinated and some say they will use the inoculation with covert 90 altogether though until we know what the side effects are it's not monthly. and his daughter maxime i'm not against vaccinations but won't take a shot for at least a few years until more information is available to cleveland i'm sorry to say i'd rather have a longer locked down and have myself injected without knowing what it contains i'm not a guinea pig and for sure i won't let my children be getting pics the government wants to start its vaccination campaign in nursing homes in a few weeks but even there many are reluctant as a recent survey shows what and 60 percent of employees working with the elderly say they are having doubts about being vaccinated it's going to be a big challenge. to motivate people to be. that of course

or worry i think that's a very serious problem because it. it's really necessary for the protection of our employees and or homes that degree your fractionation is as high as possible with more than 12000 cope with death the netherlands has a relatively high death toll despite the risks employers and the government can't force people to participate in a vaccination program experts say to make a vaccination successful the government should tell people that despite its rapid production the fact scene is safe that they can explain how could this go that fast all the investments that have been made why there are so many scientists who have completely sort of. let down all their normal tasks when focusing focusing upon it but this is a story that needs to be told companies like a lamb have been preparing for the arrival of the vaccines for months the government has yet to start informing the public because in concerns that other

countries may have reach higher vaccination rates much sooner and therefore can also open up the economies earlier that fastens al-jazeera and sort of. every to brazil and the race to find a vaccine there is turned into a highly politicized debate the governor of south palo has bypassed the federal government to buy china's vaccine but the president both in or has routinely cast doubts on its leaving the brazilian population confused. reports now from regina. it's the 2nd plane in 3 weeks to land in symbolic brazil's richest state and it won't be the last to bring back is that the chinese coupe of 19 vaccine corona governor's window idea says he already has more than 1000000 doses are dropping out they should be by the end of december will have another 6000000 doses of the vaccine that will save brazilian lives and he wants to use them in some power in

january long before the federal government starts its mass vaccination campaign. as you struggle i'm incensed at the federal government's announcement that massive vaccination begins in march 500 brazilians die every day is the government going to wait for 60000 more to die before doing anything the brazilian government is working with oxford to produce the astra zeneca vaccine but the race to win the coronavirus vaccine competition is turning out to be as much about politics as about public health no idea a serious contender for brazil's 2022 presidential election teamed up with china in an effort to fight the pandemic while his rival brazil's far right president jalal son maddow 1st claimed the chinese are dependent then he tried to undermine their credibility a diaper kid i wouldn't buy a vaccine that nobody believes in. when corona fact clinical trials were suspended

in november after a volunteer died also not a celebrated what he called one more victory over dorothea. also not his attacks on china's communist government are both ideologically and politically motivated according to her bathtub in a former resume bastard to the united states and china also now though has already said he will write to be reelected and he sees the governor of some paulo as not not just that he was an enemy so this way both are not as. both the governor of some and the chinese the scene which the governor of some fall is trying to develop china's already south america's number one trading partner and with more than 175000 pope in 1000 related death in brazil experts say beijing's vaccine diplomacy could give it a magic edge here china was the 1st country that said it would make it sexy in

a global public good if we compare with for example with the with the united states . or the attitude made by donald trump was completely different not only focus all night stands but both sinatras anti chinese campaign has also done its damage recent polls show that almost half of brazil is health commission doesn't trust the chinese vaccine manichean i.q. the addition arrow on just 0. now the pandemic continues to get worse in the united states in just the past day more than 2500 people died from cave in 19 and there have been nearly a quarter 1000000 new cases recent surge is prompting many areas to impose new regulations among them the city of san francisco whose mayor has warned that the current rise is unlike anything we've seen so far. plenty more still ahead here

these are including those most american troops are ordered to leave somalia we are just what next in the fight against on groups in the region. war of words we follow the escalating diplomatic and trade dispute between china and australia. and lewis hamilton substitute puts his mercedes at the top of. details coming up you. know if his government says it's captured or killed most of the leaders of the embattled to gray region as it tries to bring an end to the month long conflict with the head of its grain people's liberation front as people in the regions capital make a way protesting about looting by ethiopian back to retrain soldiers media blackout in the area makes it difficult to confirm these allegations after him who needs a spokeswoman for the united nations high commissioner for refugees and she says

the u.n. is hearing unverified reports off human rights violations to agree you know we've had some 47000 people cross the border from ethiopia into sudan a 1000 people crossed the border just last night now what's different about the situation now we know people are still on the move those that are arriving say that more are coming but what's different in the past few days is the number of eritreans who have arrived which raises our concern for the situation and inside gray that where we're still waiting to see ourselves so the reports that we're hearing are unverified but they are alarming gruesome reports of you know potential attacks on refugee camps of potential abductions even the possibility of the killing of civilians refugees or humanitarian staff we're going to go live to mohammed val who's at the border crossing in sudan for us and mohammed so this

conflict having repercussions originally not least in sudan where you are and numbers of refugees are rising the. that's right here where i stand this is the border crossing it's called one day its border crossing. a chop is on the side behind this is stream of water this is actually called the city $35.00 so the other side that you see is each opiah and we see people crossing every now and then including those those people there behind me trying to cross with their sheep so it's a it's a continuous situation here and all these people you see. joe peons who have crossed at various times during the last several weeks leading the fighting in great so that's the situation is continuous as i said we talked to the authorities here the sudanese authorities and they just told us the number of refugees coming on a daily basis has picked up picked up from about 400 a week ago to about 800 to 1000 we asked about the explanation of this they told us

that there is fresh fighting going on in the area of shooting she weighs $270.00 about 270 kilometers west of the cup to mckinney's so it is closer to the border here we had people coming from from america but now we have people coming from other cities that come out further than normal and that's because of that fighting that's going on the situation is complex on the border because remember there is a land dispute between sudan and here not far from here in the area of ashoka as i have explained in the following report. the sudanese army on patrol near the border it's on the lookout for refugees who might be stranded in the area after the scaping the fighting in ethiopia's north integrated region brigadier general because it is proud of his country's humanitarian role for. a bit of mushroom

global news for the 1st 12 days before aid agencies arrived the people of get a reef were the 1st to offer food blankets shelter and comfort to the refugees the sudanese armed forces organized transportation for thousands of civilians and brought them to hash camps. the hash also known as village 8 hosted 15000 refugees in the 1st 2 weeks after the fighting started integrate these homes were borrowed from local sudanese farmers to host the refugees so then is aid agencies prepared food in the camps that is one of so many sudanese in the hash aba village who share their small homes and modest meals with the refugees. we look at if europeans as part of our family our neighbors and friends we have you started ties with them so when the war broke out we went out into the streets and open fields looking for those who came here fleeing the fighting. so that itself is going through chronic inflation fuel shortages and other economy problems stability at its borders is of

utmost importance where the war in its european has brought to the fore another on resolved issue here what i stand is the facade of farmland thousands and thousands of active militants asemi fields and this land is actually disputed between ethiopia and sudan. the triangle where most of the refugees are staying covers an area of about 250 square kilometers and it has about $600000.00 acres of felt thailand so that says it's an integral part of its territory because it lies west of the line drawn by colonial britain but ethiopia maintains an army presence here and if you open a pharmacy exploit huge parts of the land a joint committee has been trying for years with little success to finalize a border demarcation. pointing to it across the adjacent up body for this sudanese farmer he's unequivocal. about is

a well defined and we're not really for compromise our government has allowed these ethiopians to settle on our land but we object to them and we will fight them to the last minute to be restored fully that's the pick we made without. and sisters we haven't crossed into ethiopian territory where do they want to take else. during the 1st few days of the fighting integrate some utopian army units abandon their bases within and avoid was filled by the sudanese army now it's commanders tell us they're not intending to cede those positions to be choppin army if it tries to return. so it's either that or that complexity between the 2 countries we have the 1st fighting that's going on now as the news came in the area of shiria so therefore these are having more reasons to flee they are trying to flee through this. crossing but i'm told about the choking army on the other side this has been

preventing them mostly so they try to find ways around this place there is a there is a couple points behind the hyundai the village and that's actually estimates of land that belongs to editor here so they cross 1st into it then they cross from it here into sudan in an attempt to avoid each open army checkpoints this tells you a lot about the plight of the civilians trying to reach safety within sudan itself these people are all going to be moved from here and hundreds more inside the village not far from where i stand are going to be moved further into sudan to the camp and to the other camps so it's a slow process and the sudanese and other n.g.o.s are trying to deal with it at the moment. reporting there from the. well ethiopia's prime minister has faced criticism for press ahead with the military

operation united nations says that fighting is now complicating efforts to deliver humanitarian aid despite reaching a deal with the government for access a deliveries are not expected to arrive into granted next week but the use crisis commission it calls a un deal not acceptable and one sided it says it only extends to government controlled areas the african union sent envoys to addis ababa late last month that was in the hope of finding a diplomatic solution but prime minister ahmed insists that this is a law enforcement operation and has warned against outside interference that state is on little bit we can speak to william davison who's a senior ethiopia analyst at the international crisis group and joins us on skype from cambridge in the u.k. mr davis and so 1st up this ongoing conflict seems far from over does new prime minister is resisting help from the outside why do you think that is. well i mean in terms of its spend what we mean by health from from the outside and

the ethiopian government will be willing to of course accept humanitarian assistance but that will be you know tightly conditioned and controlled as you heard of that will only initially be in government controlled areas but it's very unlikely that there will be this one and indeed access into areas where there's ongoing fighting or whether it's suspicion of you know large opposition. backing that we do go to mediation and international mediation the federal government has absolutely no interest in that they've achieved their initial military objectives and controlling major cities in the regional government now they will be deceiving and it's a great lead is that they have arrest warrants out for crimes including treason the fighting is that they be established mediate is within the continent of africa the african union the base and that is not about the capital of ethiopia or are they it was a feeling regionally about this about meds reaction in ways operating well

it certainly frustration and this sort of the a peace and security architecture that's been established by the african union over decades and has been put to use and join many periods of political instability and conflict that's not being welcomed by the government but of course you know when when it's state resists african union mediation or intervention creates a problem for the organization and that's a particularly acute problem when it's a lot i just read it to be powerful country like ethiopia which then of course has the added it's irrelevant position of being the headquarters of the african union so this certainly frustration and concern but there's limited options that you have to push through some form of intervention until the time of the federal government is accepting to it. and what's your sense of where we're at with the conflict right now they say that the ethiopian forces say that chasing down the leadership from

t.p.m. left but they still seem to be at large well absolutely they're at large there's no doubt about that i think what we've seen so far in the last month this conflict is the great leadership of forces being overpowered and outnumbered to some degree that's led to these retreats from cities including a breach in the capital but that leadership is intact and they certainly still seems to be serious engagement they are absolutely determined to fight on but what we do not know is you know how out depleted perhaps it's a grain forces are from the fighting so far and also to what extent are they going to be out sustain resistance or an insurgency in a situation where they have no supply lines and no major externals port i think that will only be sustainable if there is considerable support for to grant people for continued resistance and opposition city provisional government that the federal government is planning to establish right thanks to that when davidson from

hello dick so we are at single border crossing which is the main protest site there are 3. protest sites where thousands of farmers are blocking 3 key highways into the indian capital on the borders between the states of how the anna and delhi and the state of the predation and delhi thousands remain camped out here even as those rounds of round of talks take place between the government. and farm huge lead is very interesting what you mentioned the prime minister. held a meeting with the ministers of defense agriculture and commerce between those ministers meeting with union leaders the pose those ministers have met previously this week and promised to modi getting involved at this stage shows just how much of a problem of these protests are causing to the government there are only expected to get bigger on saturday we've had a number of prominent athletes from the states of punjab and haryana women many

farmers of from they are travelling from punjab they're on their way to delhi picking up more athletes on the way including a limping gold medalists they all planning to go to the presidential building to return at their national awards in protest they say against how farmers have been treated by the government. one of the main sticking points and how much of a challenge all of these protests for to go. sort of as i mean you heard me that maybe there's some trouble with the law again just tell us more about the main sticking points of this and how much of a challenge are these protests for the government. yeah there were clearly lost connection there with the single we'll get back to liz as the day progresses. polls of opened in parliamentary elections a record number of women are among the more than $300.00 candidates this comes as

its economy is reeling from fully oil prices and the corona virus pandemic let's cross to joins us live here and. first i'll just tell us how this election is shaping up and is it different this time around in any way when they 1st of all this these are the 1st elections since the current emir of kuwait share. has become the emir of kuwait of course you had the death last september of the former emir of kuwait. and so that's one thing that is certainly affecting the mood in kuwait but beyond that these coded restrictions that are in place in kuwait which had a months long lockdown earlier this year that has meant that this campaign season has been unlike other campaign seasons in the past you have not had lavish gatherings are the hallmarks of campaigning in kuwait you have not had big dinners and big face to face meetings between candidates and their supporters and potential voters so that's really one of the biggest ways that things have changed you have

a lot of the candidates who have basically taken to social media and 2 online platforms in order to spread their message to have more of a one on one with voters in a more virtual space you know it's going to be interesting to see how this turns out because as you mentioned there are 'd a record number of women that are running this year it was only in 2005 that women in kuwait were granted the right to vote and also to stand for election this year you have $29.00 women who are running so it'll be very interesting to see if they get those seats how many of those seats that they get it's not really expect that there's going to be any major sweeping political changes in kuwait as a result of these elections many analysts say that the opposition in kuwait has been weakened in recent years and they also expect that voter turnout is going to be a bit lower this year because of those code 1000 restrictions nic. reporting from the hole in the situation in kuwait on these elections. well meanwhile the ammeter of kuwait says he's pleased with the progress of talks aimed at ending

course brett's it will be discussed among other issues but no sense of panic there we've of course seen this joint statement come out on friday from michel barnier and his british counterpart david frost admitting that they hadn't been able to reach a deal the statement said that after what they called one week of intense intense negotiations in london there were significant divergences on the level playing field governance and fisheries the level playing field making sure that british firms for example couldn't be given an unfair advantage through state. fisheries of course not a big part of british britain's economy but symbolically important and governments how to how to deal with any disputes in future on the fisheries there has been a claim from 10 downing street that the e.u. insistence on a 10 year transition is a problem the e.u. side are pushing back on that official saying that there is a middle way the u.k.

wants a transition we just want a longer one suggesting that there will compromise vefa but there are very big other issues that i was mentioning to deal with. angela merkel on friday called on both sides to compromise she wants to avoid a deal the french government threatening perhaps rhetorically that they could veto an agreement if it didn't meet if it didn't satisfy them and the clock is ticking as you were saying the. u.k. government has admitted that m.p.'s might have to sit here until the 23rd of december in order to ratify any deal the european parliament possibly sitting just a few days before the end of the year in an emergency session but right now. there's a saying that the real deadline to make that all possible is going to be sunday evening monday morning so just just a matter of days or an outing thanks for that tonight in baba reporting there from
