a fair competition guarantees and half future disputes will be resolved failure to agree by the end of the month will mean tough new tired of send cumbersome border checks from next year that will be a further blow to economies already dealing with the fallout from covert 19 live 2 in london for us so nadeem in past negotiations is a deal always that emerges at the last minute one of the chances this time. well it really is hard to predict it's a lot more complicated than when the european union is actually in talks with one of its own an e.u. member of course the u.k. is not now a member of the european union and it has been insisting in the last few days that the european union is not accepting that britain is a sovereign nation this is one of the main kind of differences in vision now those talks ended on friday without a deal

a week of talks in london on saturday boris johnson the prime minister spoke to a sort of underlying head of the european commission on the phone they have been asked their chief negotiators to resume the talks on sunday in brussels that's david frost for the british side and michelle bunny a for the european union we're hearing that michelle bunny a brief passages on the latest developments on monday morning if there is anything to to report on monday evening boris johnson again will speak to the head of the european commission to see whether any progress has been made because in the words of a british cabinet minister on sunday we are into the last few days of possibility of striking a deal the can the contentious points fisheries access to british waters and how soon that should change and level playing field what kind of rules britain will have to continue to follow and how any disputes will actually be solved in future

and what implications that team if there is a no deal bracks and what would happen. well as you are saying a majority of cabinet ministers are reportedly telling boris johnson that he'll have their support if he decides against a deal if quote it's not in their national interest well and no deal breaks it is something that boris johnson didn't promise he came in to power saying he would he had an oven ready deal but it's very hard to square that circle trying to go for full sovereignty in the jargon while trying to hammer out some kind of deal which will involve alignment in the future necessarily in a no deal breaks it which is what happens on january the 1st if they don't strike a deal many businesses here and on the continent a very worried and there are large expectations of disruption even under

a deal there will be delays there will be customs checks and increased paperwork under a no deal scenario economic experts are going to the government are actually warning that next year alone no deal breaks it could hit the economy by 2 percent and then further long term damage and the government according to sunday newspapers has been making contingency plans for january if there is severe disruption or ports to commercial airports and so on the military planes could be used to fly in vaccines from belgium to make sure that those supply routes continue to be open so it's hard to predict the level of disruption but nobody's saying no serious business minds are saying that there won't be some kind of disruption come january even if there is a deal now in london thank you. jonathan messes

a political commentator he says the u.k. needs to prepare to make a number of concessions. the most important thing to remember in the hope. that the u.k. needs a deal more than the e.u. does the u.k. is much more exposed to products it is much smaller much less powerful much less rich and the concessions will have to come from the u.k. sorry that's always been the case and a very new something the u.k. government has never really acknowledge or accept it so you don't have to be a concession or the level playing field allowing the tariffs if the u.k. on the cuts in on comments action will standards and the have to be some kind of concession from the u.k. on fishing access 30 year. old see the e.u. will have to make some concessions on the use france as well but the bulk of the concessions will have to come from the u.k. and will have to address that up and. as you know it starts while the outcome of the brecht talks could impact the u.k.'s govan 1000 vaccination program that is

due to roll out from tuesday john howell is in london and has more on the manufacturing process. it's already being described as the largest immunize ation program in history quantities of the vaccine vaccine have already arrived in this country we're told having traveled here by the channel tunnel from belgium where they're being manufactured and then being passed on woods to 50 hospital helps they'll be the initial vaccine sites the role for enhanced it is one of the full rollout to begin then on tuesday the initial target so to market if you like for the vaccines is the most vulnerable the over eighty's and care homes stuff that we started with people who are already inside the hospital setting either visiting as outpatient or being discharged and then invitations will go out at the people to come to these hospitals shortly afterwards it's hoped this program will expand local medical surgeries general practitioners have been told to be on standby from the 14th of december to administer the javits a shot in the arm you'll recall with

a booster that follows $21.00 days later and then they'll prepare for masters distribution eventually using sports stadiums and conference venues and the like too tricky issues to bear in mind the 1st sort of technical logistics of handling this vaccine it's got to be stored at minus 70 degrees celsius it's going to be thawed out before use it can only be used moved forward times within that process of time it has a shelf life of 5 days so quite a tech quite a complex that sort of technical infrastructure that's going to be placed as this program expands and secondly the question of quantity 800000 doses available now the government talking about scaling up to $5000000.00 by the end of this month. the u.s. has reported a record number of covert 1000 infections for the 3rd day in a row nearly 230000 cases in well then 2 and a half 1000 deaths were recorded in the last 24 hours according to johns hopkins

university the u.s. has seen a major resurgence of the virus in the last month putting even more pressure on hospitals. and the news what was meant to be a romney to back to senate candidates has turned into an opportunity for donald trump to once again falsely claim that he won last month's presidential election he's been campaigning in georgia for republicans facing runoff votes next month and the poll will decide which party controls the u.s. senate our white house correspondent kimberly hockett reports from georgia. that donald trump was not the declared winner in last month's presidential vote but that didn't stop these georgia voters from attending trump's 1st post-election rally. thousands here believe trump defeated joe biden even as the president's court cases to overturn the election results have overwhelmingly failed and i said joe biden stole the election in one deal like. violence might we see all the fraud we see all of the balance there were piled up there were. already in boxes and in

trucks at 3 o'clock in the morning and even though he agrees trump was in this southern state to tell them to go to the polls again this time in the upcoming senate elections that will decide whether the u.s. congress is controlled by democrats given biden the ability to push through legislation but there's a new challenge for republicans some supporters say they've lost faith in the vote and may not even show up if you go and they're going anyway they've already got file a vote. really fraudulent in my opinion but. i'm just on the go bowden and they don't turn a selection around or if the governor don't do something to make me change my mind . both republicans and democrats are spending millions trying to win georgia's 2 senate seats but trump insists republicans will keep

a grip on the senate warning georgia voters the future of america is at stake you must go vote because its stake in this election is control of the u.s. senate and that really means control of this country the voters of georgia will determine which party runs every committee writes every piece of legislation controls every single taxpayer dollars trump also continues to insist he defeated biden on november 3rd he claims the mail in ballots received after election day shouldn't count he cues as democrats of stealing the election and vows he will take his challenges to the supreme court to win a 2nd term they cheated and they regard presidential election but we will still win it we will for a new poll shows just 25 percent of congressional republicans acknowledge biden's presidential win that's why his supporters are fighting to overturn poll results and to block democrats from winning again in georgia. but democrats are also

fighting the day before president trump's visit here for the president barack obama made a virtual campaign appearance and president elect joe biden will also be making a visit to georgia before its january vote really helped at al-jazeera valdosta georgia. a committee in the u.s. has found that directed microwave radiation is a likely cause of mysterious illness is among american diplomats in cuba and china at least 2 dozen diplomats reported this in a special and cognitive problems during a period of nearly 2 years from may 2016 the study didn't say who was responsible or whether it was an actual attack but it did note that the former soviet union had done previous research into such injuries. still ahead on al jazeera campaigning winds down in ghana ahead of monday's presidential vote will look at what is expected to be a straight fight between all apparently at

is with the australian national university is research school of earth sciences and will be analyzing some of the samples explains what sort of information researchers are hoping to gather. the subsurface sample gives us sort of a ground truth for understanding what's been happening on the surface that the real issue of taking an asteroid robins as sampling of a meteorite is that we can actually look at the skin of the asteroid and understand how it's evolved in the solar system what age it is how long it's been exposed to solar wind of the somme and things like that so we have both the sample from inside the planet as small as well as the the surface then we we basically are starting material and the exposed material and we can ever do a much better job of figuring out the history of that object the interesting thing about the astroid that we've gone to it's a seed known as a seed type asteroid going to we think the closest analog to loz asteroids of the
