will be resolved or sort of on their lane and boris johnson will speak again on monday to see if there has been progress but hopes of a deal before a summit leaders on thursday are fading but the all important deadline is in 25 days time when the transition period ends if there's no deal by then border checks . come into force and tariffs will be imposed on goods traveling between the u.k. and the e.u. now has the latest from london. back in brussels for another go at striking a trade deal with his european union counterparts are going to be working very hard to try and get a deal we're going to see what happens to negotiate the day and that will we will be looking forward to meeting oh you're being released later on thanks very much to resume talks between david frost and the e.u. michel barnier came after an hour long phone call between the lion president of the european commission and british prime minister boris johnson their joint statement

on saturday mention progress over the last week but said the 2 sides still didn't see eye to eye on 3 critical issues firstly there's fishing rights in other words what access e.u. fishing fleets have to u.k. waters and how quickly any changes happen then there's a more fundamental question of the level playing field that's measures to ensure businesses on one side don't have an unfair advantage brussels wants the u.k. to stick closely to its rules on things like workers' rights environmental regulations and especially state aid to businesses loss leaders governance including how any agreement would be enforced and what role institutions such as the european court of justice would have. if no deals in place by the end of the year the u.k. will be operating on the world trade organization rules with a bloc that accounted for 43 percent of british exports and 51 percent of u.k. imports last year the british government says it's ready for such a scenario but business groups are warning of major disruption now be no formal

cooperation between the 2 sides so all kinds of goods in health are up and the food that a lot of businesses you do trade with. and our manufacturing industries are very experienced farming's their experience even fishing is incredibly exposed even if there is a deal customs checks and paperwork could create a real challenge we know that there won't be carrots under the. parents and we do not know what you will allow manufacturing arts chorus girls. arts of the iris it industry to grow really in markets and the talks could get overtaken by events in the westminster parliament from monday it's set to re-examine the internal market bill which breaks the terms of the u.k.'s already agreed protocol on northern ireland that could kill off any prospect of giving negotiations yet another final chance that the barber al-jazeera. so what happens

if britain and the e.u. fail to agree a trade deal where the movement of goods between the 2 could seize up overnight with both sides in forcing tariffs and custom checks at the border while you countries lose access to a big market it's britain that's set to lose out most as europe accounts for nearly half of its trade the economic knock on could be harsh with an expected 2 percent drop in the u.k. as economic output and nearly a quarter of a 1000000 jobs lost but the impact wouldn't only be financial it will affect everything from energy supplies to intelligence sharing and there are fears that changes to the u.k.'s only land the border with the e.u. which is in northern ireland could stoke violent tensions from the past well just importance is a professor of economics at kings college here in london is also senior fellow at u.k. in a change in europe he joins us now from london via skype sir thank you so much for joining us here on al-jazeera both sides obviously have

a lot to lose and i suppose the fact they are still negotiating means that both sides are reluctant to just walk away without a deal where do you think the compromise will be here. well the compromise would be with her and has been for the last 6 months this is nothing has happened really fundamentally changed the outlines of a deal of always been very clear a compromise on fishing rights whereby the u.k. gets back some but not all of its fish and they compromise on the letting feel provisions where the u.k. agrees to some discipline and over future changes on state a government to labor protections but the e.u. accepts that the u.k. is indeed an independent country and has some flexibility which he didn't have as a member of the there is no really none of this is nothing really changed by a few months the outline of this compromise is over he's been very clear the only question remains the question which is. that which is whether boris johnson in

particular is prepared to accept this compromise or not. focusing on i suppose assuming that the deal does go ahead and something is signed in the coming days i mean realistically we've got 25 days to go now just to remind our international viewers we have a transition period that where that the u.k. is in now which ends at the end of the same but even if a deal is finalized i mean that's quite a lot to ducking the i's and crossing the t.'s when it comes to this because in 25 days the u.k. is officially in completely out of the e.u. how many practicalities do you think need to be put in place. well that's absolutely right and the most important thing to remember is that whether or not there is it it will there will be these very major changes in indeed in some respects a deal is secondary a deal doesn't really make any difference to for example the fact that custom checks will be imposed on the 1st of january deal or no deal

a deal will make things easier there will be no tariffs but the vast majority of the extra bureaucracy the extra border controls and all the rest expert regulatory barriers those are going to come deal or no deal and you're right that there isn't very much time so there are 2 sets of things which have to happen one is daunting the i's and crossing the t.'s on the detail as you say now that is a political and legal process it probably can be done both in brussels and in london but it will be tight but perhaps more important late is actually putting those and minister to the bureaucratic processes into place in a way which ensures there is no major disruption on january the 1st that requires computer systems border check process is both. people on the government side to administer these purchases but also crucially for business to understand what it is expected you know when your trade your cross

borders if you're a man we're quite a long way from that i'm at home i would it seems that breaks it is almost bookended the 2020 year for the u.k. because it started with breaks it ended with breaks of course in the middle it was all about covert which of course is still a major issue how do you think that's affected the way that boris johnson is thinking about a possible negotiation or a possible compromise. i'm not sure it is actually affected things as much as people might thought i think i mean you know the outline of this compromise deal that is currently on the table has been there for. least the last 6 months probably longer and i think johnson has not made he probably not made up his mind yet. because he never makes up his mind until he absolutely has to as we saw on breaks it is self and then subsequently on that with throat agreement so i'm not sure kovi is actually the determining factor johnson has to between as

a as he always has been between the fact that he knows that it would be economically preferable for the u.k. but that politically there are good reasons to go for no deal and just one last very brief question and we've been saying it's crunch time for breaks the talks what for years and certainly months is it crunch time now i mean does a deal have to be agreed in the next 23 days or otherwise it is going to be a no deal. well a number of us including me have been wrong on this before. we were at a crunch when it turned out we weren't quite there yet but yes i think we are genuinely at it carves now if that growth breakdown in a few days is very difficult indeed to see aaron no deal is averted whereas if there is a great event then one way or another they will find a way to put it into practice even if it's it inevitably rather messy and chaotic it 1st starts in porsche's professor of economics at king's college london 1 and senior fellow at u.k.

in a changing europe sir thank you for sharing your views with us thank you. still to come on the news hour. the final militia said they would kill us because we're to graham. forced out in their hundreds every day now sudan faces a problem with ethiopia and refugees. the mysterious sickness plaguing the u.s. diplomats in haven't a u.s. scientists say they may have b.s. and in sports south africa and england are forced to abandon their latest cricket contest after more coronavirus cases. the u.k. is preparing to roll out the 1st doses of the corona virus vaccine made by pfizer and by own take on tuesday initial batches are being distributed the hospital selected to administer the job priority will be given to those over the age of 80

care home staff and residents around 800000 doses are expected to be available during the 1st week but the u.k. has ordered $40000000.00 in total that's enough to vaccinate 20000000 people roughly a 3rd of the population john holl is at a hospital in london with a vaccine will be administered. predictably it's already being described as the largest immunization program in history as we speak hundreds of thousands of doses of the pfizer vaccine are in a country being held in ultra low temperature freezes at secure locations being tested rigorously we're told to ensure that they've survived the transit ok over the water from belgium where they were manufactured there then be moved in the next 24 hours or so to 50 hospital hubs that will act as the 1st vaccination sites one of them is behind me here the royal free in north london. and they'll begin that roll out on tuesday initially going for the most vulnerable sectors people over the

age of 80 and also care home staff and workers then spreading the program out possibly quite quickly the government has told general practitioners in local clinics to be ready and on standby from the 14th of december perhaps the start of ministering the vaccine of local level then and then of course expanding more widely than that to the mass population probably only in the new year including things like sports stadiums conference venues on the like but this is the beginning in 2 days as i say at sites like the one behind me the 1st vaccine doses will be handed out take a listen to what a senior executive from the national health service in england had to say this morning as a doctor this is a really exciting moment n.h.s. staff around the country vaccination hub such as this one we here at today have been working tirelessly to make sure that we are prepared to commence vaccination on tuesday this feels like the beginning of the end but of course it's a marathon not a sprint and it will take many months for us to vaccinate everybody who needs

vaccination and the beginning of the end as mr barry said there of an immensely technically and logistically challenging operation is fact vaccine as we know has to be stored in very specific conditions around minus 70 degrees celcius it's got to be thawed before use it can only be moved around 4 times during that process 5 days shelf life all very well in a hospital setting like this much more challenging in hospital settings and then of course as we've been hearing there's bricks are to contend with on the 1st of january. the u.s. health secretary says there's a comprehensive plan in place to vaccinate millions of americans the country's food and drug administration has been reviewing a vaccine made by modern along with the pfizer biotech joint effort the 1st public hearing is expected next week and alex as our says emergency authorization could be expected if everything remains on track on friday president elect joe biden said that his transition team had not seen

a detailed plan for the rollout but as are described that as nonsense we're going to focus on those most vulnerable and those most on the front lines of treating people with kovan with the initial $40000000.00 doses in the next month and then we're just going to progressively keep adding more and more people so be finking in the february march timeframe that you're going to see more general vaccination and by the 2nd quarter of next year we'll see we'll have enough vaccine for every american that wants it but more and more people are just going to keep progressively getting vaccinated week by week as the product rolls off want the u.s. president's personal lawyer rudy giuliani has contracted kovac 19 trump revealed the diagnosis on twitter saying that the former mayor of new york had tested positive the 76 year old has been leading trump's efforts to try to overturn the november's election results of the number a sou a number of failed legal challenges that work has seen giuliani travel to various states of the past few weeks while his son tested positive last month trying to not

specify where the giuliani was actually experiencing symptoms latitia castro joins us live now from washington d.c. so heidi 1st of all what do we actually know about giuliani's condition and how do we think that this will affect trump's campaign to try to get the election result overturned or certainly look that. well it's curious isn't it barbara that these this announcement didn't come from giuliani himself but rather the president who is of course his very good friend trump tweeting earlier that regionally and he by far the greatest mayor in the history of new york city and who has been working tirelessly exposing the most corrupt election by far in the history of the usa has tested positive for the china virus notably if this didn't come again from giuliani himself perhaps is an indicator of just how close these 2 men are of course we know

giuliani has been the number one foot soldier of president trump and his efforts to overthrow the results of the presidential election giuliani has been traveling left and right of hearing in june calls and courtrooms as well as in person in press conferences and very few times wearing a mask just as president trump did not wear a mask nor thousands of his followers at the rally yesterday that we saw in georgia we don't know whether or not giuliani is symptomatic we do know that he's 76 year old which puts him at a high risk group now all of this is happening as the courts have one by one struck down the law suits that trump and his surrogates have attempted to file to overturn the results of the election yet trump still adamant that he has a chance of remaining in the white house past january 20th and all of this of course happening while more than 2000 americans are dying a day here in the u.s.

that is one every 2 minutes that passed and the state of california among the many places announcing new lock downs with 27000000 residents in california preparing for a 3 week lockdown starting at midnight barbara that is your house straight with the latest from washington d.c. heidi thank you. voting is underway in parliamentary elections in venezuela the poll is to elect the new congress which is the only government branch currently controlled by opposition parties but they are boycotting the election saying it is a fraud the u.s. e.u. and the organization of american states all say that they won't consider the outcome as legitimate president of the us coalition is expected to win while the opposition leader one is planning his own referendum if. you think when the morning came today i said the day has arrived the hour has arrived

we had the patience and wisdom to wait for the seller to fight for this day to get rid of that nefarious national assembly that hurt him is why humans that brought the plague of sanctions cruelty of pain of suffering we were patient we resisted and today we are making justice with the boat well the media spun to less is a political analyst and he joins us live now from caracas by skype sir thank you for joining us here on al-jazeera considering that groups like the the e.u. the u.s. the organization of american states are all saying that they're not going to consider this election legitimate how seriously is it actually being taken there by the voters themselves who didn't. actually there now is that you know it's below expected but it will be about 70 percent it is what it was 2 hours of the 15 words was 75 years then it is like 40 or so it is period

but most of the population. in the i think it will take it seriously because they knew. for sure what they got it is what. or busybodies it will be because they were who they were while we are there was is will say what the limits of. what they will not stay in their. job most a bit misled us don't speak or get about his election and that can say and he has been following in their lives as humans they were businessmen who would be one yeah i mean that's quite a word to describe it boring i mean it's also pretty dysfunctional i mean you have an election where you say about 30 percent of the electorate well actually bother to show up one guide why don't the opposition leader is going to have his own referendum i mean we know that russia and china are allies of president maduro but of course the new element here is joe biden as president of the us how does nicolas maduro think that that result in the u.s.

might help or hinder him. actually. there were. what the government was saying is what we are thinking about after with the fork in the sand 101 when you are simply with a seed that will start there and it was has been processed in the us or south they had never been still in a position that it will be usa and this is not the bit of hope they're saying but the we had a very it is promising but that the usa usa censors will and will end initially in a big war that we start getting much better that they are blaming us a sense of. what they have been to ministre be out of cup quite the meets the about it you know what's sure why there slope is they don't have a sense for us saying about them but this book will happen must be something different and we. followed about the democratic is was and he

wanted out it's was him in his. they were having some slave problems of a scot but let me just persevere with one more question when it comes to the situation the living conditions of most people in venezuela we know that there have been food scarcity electricity obviously the coal that pandemic has had an impact i mean how why people living in venezuela right now. living in israel is quite dark it's basically outside of that i've just got out as. well as moscow with state interests that absolute is working more or less outside of that i guess it's really about people being shot by well if they see the most of it the worst of it really is the knowledge that it would that. that'll be so out of get out as it is we can say that it is us it in got out that it's really dark to me to respond to less political analyst joining us from caracas sir thank you so much for sharing

boycotting the poll president. party is set to take control. record numbers of refugees and migrants who are arriving on the shores of spain's canary islands many are making the perilous sea journey after losing their incomes during the pandemic temporary camps are being set up by the government to cope with the influx thousands more are being housed in empty tourist hotels and apartments but that is causing local anger. well nearly $20000.00 refugees a migrants of reached the archipelago so far this year that's around 10 times as many people as last year a record $8000.00 people arrived in the past month alone around 5 and a half 1000 they're being housed in hotels and tourist apartments there are empty due to the pandemic and spain's government says another $7000.00 will be placed in temporary reception centers which will be built in the next few weeks burnet smith

is on the island of yellow which is one of the main arrival points for refugees and the migrants. just in the last 24 hours more than $300.00 migrants have arrived here on grand canaria that's about typical in november there were more than $8000.00 the whole month was believed to be a record for migrant arrivals and they all appear on these fishing boats from the north african coast about $25.00 people crammed into a boat each paying around $1000.00 per person the ambition for most of them nearly all of them is to make it to mainland europe to look for better opportunities but at the moment they're not being allowed to leave these islands because the european union doesn't want to encourage more migration the recent bush people still flee from their country they are also it makes recent i mean it means that there are economic reason because of the crisis of. there are also personal reasons because

you know most of people coming from west africa it means that you know in this area there might be close enough of that play climate change. you know different mean that this can mean for families in a hilarious the last the rescue boat heading out on another mission and more and more migrants heading to the canary islands because it's getting much harder to cross from north africa over the mediterranean into europe because of increased patrolling particularly along the libyan coast the spanish government wants other e.u. member states to agree to take an equitable share of all the migrants arriving here but there's currently little and for that it also wants morocco and other countries to take back those migrants who have no legal right to be here but we coronavirus restrictions on transport but it is also making things extremely difficult which is why the canaries a filling up with migrants. well let's return now to one of the stories that we're

following here on al-jazeera and that's the elections in venezuela for a new congress. it's a vote that has been viewed with some skepticism by international governments for more on that let's cross to our latin america editor lucy in human who is in the chilean capital santiago good to see you know some kaggle actually has one of the biggest fan as well of migrant communities or chilean general migrant communities in the world so what are they making of these strange elections in their home country that a lot of entities like the u.s. or the e.u. are not really going to recognize it. well there they're going along the same lines of fact i spent hours at a market in a neighborhood that is dominated by venezuelans and everybody i asked kind of laughed when i asked them if they were following the elections they said it was pointless to do that because they already knew what was going to happen they regarded them as fraudulent as invalid most of these people of course left

venezuela because they disagreed with the government also of course they were fleeing the economic strife in venezuela but more importantly in venezuela itself we have been seeing that the turnout has been very very low and quoting to data analysis even before the polls were open less than 30 percent of people said that they were interested in voting and so the queues were very very small and the government until recently wasn't making any reference to the turnout as it usually does the polls should be closing in about a half an hour although the electoral body can keep them open if there are long queues of people waiting to vote and i've seen that happen even when there's nobody in a polling area a polling station they keep it open and sometimes they send people from the ruling socialist party into the neighborhoods to bring people out of their homes and take them to the polling stations to vote if they haven't already done that so we're not really quite sure if that will happen in this case but. it's really pretty clear at

this stage that that the the government to a president mughals party will win the majority of the seats in the national assembly because the mainstream opposition isn't even competing in this case as you know you see a new man with the latest from santiago thank you. thousands of protesters have gathered in moldova's capital to demand early parliamentary elections they gathered in support of president elect that myosin do was due to take office on christmas eve but she wants the government to resign as it is run by politicians aligned with the current leader igor doggone protesters also say parliament is trying to stand in the way of a fight against corruption after stripping sandu of control of the intelligence service. more than 300 people have been arrested in the capital in yet another weekend of protests against the president thousands of demonstrators gathered to
