we understand the differences and similarities of cultures across the world so no matter what we use in conduct that matter to you. this is al-jazeera. hello there i am hello my kids are at the al-jazeera news are coming to you live from doha coming up in the next 60 minutes and i think you're a 90 year old grandmother is the 1st person to get the fines or violent sex with 19 baxi as the u.k. will say it's a nationwide immunization plan. a desperate journey for a new beginning a rise in the number of child refugees trying to cross into europe from africa.

ethiopian refugees continues to flee fighting in the tea growing region the head of an aid group gives us the latest on the humanitarian situation. and a something finds in number of afghan civilians killed in air strikes swords by more than 300 percent in the last 3 years. and sport breakdancing is set to make its debut on the world's biggest stage the i.o.c. is inducted as an official olympic sport and will feature at the 2024 paris games. but 1st thousands of people across the u.k. are being vaccinated against the corona virus as the country becomes the 1st in the world so roll oats the phones are biotech vaccine 800000. so says or be expected to

be administered this week with the elderly and frontline health care workers 1st in line but logistical challenges mean the majority of vulnerable people will have to wait until early next year as the fokker reports now from london. it is happening a turning point in the global fight against a virus that killed more than a 1000000 people around the world 90 year old grandmother margaret keenan made history becoming the 1st person to be vaccinated with the pfizer bio and take drug outside a trial she encourage others to follow her lead. rope it because it's free and it's the best thing that's ever happened and the moment you do please go for it in a somewhat dramatic turn the 2nd vaccine went to a man called william shakespeare a poetic start perhaps to a new chapter in the fight against corona virus more than half of the people who've died of the virus in the u.k.

are over 80 they're getting the injection 1st along with elderly in care homes and their carers unused doses are going to frontline medical staff the british government's call this a v. for vaccine day but the prime minister warned it's too early to call this a v. for victory in scotland. in england people are having the vaccine for the 1st time and it will gradually make a huge huge difference but i stress gradually because you know we're not. yet we haven't defeated this virus yet bunches of the pfizer biotech drug approved for use in the u.k. last week have been arriving from pfizer's factory in belgium the logistical challenge has been immense the vaccine needs to be kept to the round minus 70 degree celsius in england dozens of hospitals with facilities to store the super chill drug are the 1st places to administer it scotland wales and northern ireland have also begun similar programs the government sorted 40000000 doses so far and

initial 800000 will be available in the 1st round of treatment this week capable of inoculating 400000 people with 2 injections 21 days apart we've shuttered our economies. and struggle through months of grief and anxiety lives have been cut short and elderly people separated from their loved ones we've known for some time that the only sure fire way out of this pandemic is a vaccine and now a shred of hope the 1000000 not too distant future things might start returning to normal its hope so full 1000000 people will be back soon 80 before the end of the year when boxes of the vaccine that come in packs of almost a 1000 doses will be split up and sent to doctors' surgeries and care homes around the country the vaccine can be stored at normal fridge temperature but only for a short period it's a day of mixed emotions joy and hesitation most vulnerable people won't get the

vaccine until next year but with infection rates going up here in london and elsewhere restrictions may have to get tighter before they get easier. but it is only a matter of months since scientists set their minds on defeating this common enemy a process that normally takes many years and now against all odds a sense of the long march out of the pandemic have begun park al-jazeera london. well let's get more now from rory challenge she joins us live from outside st thomas' hospice ill in london and laurie and see we're hearing this is being billed as varying day in the u.k. is there a sense that this is an opportunity to turn the corner on this devastating pandemic . absolutely yes this is a glimpse of light at the end of the tunnel for the population of the u.k.

which of course like many countries around the world is suffered some pretty dark moments this year 2020. also for the politicians of this country boris johnson's government. now it has been. the generation of the car you've hit crisis by accusations that it's mismanaged many things that it. sacrificed the elderly in care homes that it was too late to go into lockdown made many mistakes that it's led the world in many of the bad things like economic devastation and the number of deaths in the country and had little good to show you for this year well now it does now boris johnson. look there will hold in the eye and say yes well here's our vaccine is the 1st vaccine probably rolled out with full approval and the u.k.

has got some good news to celebrate once again so good news for the government good news for the people of the united kingdom as neve was saying in his report there though it is going to be a while before most of the country gets vaccinated and even some of the the for the 1st priority people to get the injection those actually residing in care homes might not get it for a few weeks longer hancock the health secretary was just speaking in parliament saying that because of the logistical challenges of transporting this vaccine which has to be chilled as needed saying that so minus 70 degree centigrade actually getting into care homes is going to be difficult and care and residents might have to wait until christmas perhaps i before they get there so yeah good news maybe but boris johnson is saying it's still a long road ahead there isn't a challenge that lies from london thank you rory well let's head from the u.k.

capital to the pakistani capital joining us now from islamabad is mustafa poor he's from its international regional advocacy and campaigns manager for asia it's how the weather's on the news hour as as we were here. there's a lot of reasons to celebrate if you're in the u.k. perhaps not so much if you live in a developing country what are your thoughts on the vaccine you hope for that people in developing countries will also start to be getting this much needed vaccine quite soon. thank you for having me that's the good news that people in the u.k. are getting the vaccine but there i am sitting it really is to look see distance dream and hope and the horizon so what we are hearing that the vixens for the next year and 2020. has been pretty are the by the by that it's

nations though they are having only 30 percent of the population. of the global population but since supply is being stockpiled. i. believe this is against the fair distribution principle and shouldn't work the w.h.o. . has developed. and if if this stockpile by link is continued i don't think we will be able to get the vaccine in the next 2 years time in pakistan or in many developing countries did you think of all the scenes that are being stopped because we're talking here but the fines are buying on. a very inexpensive vaccine it needs an expensive and very specialized distribution chain there are other vaccines which will hopefully be coming on line among them is the oxford astra zeneca vaccine which is much easier to distribute their him into getting much more production capability up and running and certainly this there's

a sense that this would be able to be rolled out quite a lot quicker than this finds are one are you saying that even this cheaper easier to rule the vaccine is also being stockpiled by richer nations. i think i think there are 2 issues with it one of course is the is the cost issue so if this. is our market is costing $40.00. that's more than what the panel at this end usually is spends on but capita health and what we're hearing is only. the tail end of for cold is still a story that countries do not have the cold to storage but hardly we're hearing. that people can't afford it but more than that i think even if these 3 companies produce. their full supply is delivered needs more it 1000000000 people

does it will not be available in the next year i believe what is needed i think is that it's nations have to use their leverage off financially and the control over the companies to share their technology and intellectual property rights so that more producers can manufacture the vaccine. quickly as possible so so that may 30 of the people who are at that this get least get get their shots in the next year absolutely listen there is and sorry to cut you off there is a recognition though that for most people to be immune from this virus most people need to be vaccinated and that does include poorer countries who perhaps can't afford this more expensive vaccine there as i was saying there is a more affordable vaccine that's going through the tests and checks and all the indications are so far that it will be ruled perhaps just not very soon given that most countries recognize the need for the world to be vaccinated this is not just

a case of being patient because it's normal that countries are going to try and protect their own citizens 1st before they start giving it away to other nations yet no i think. if it is the patients that everybody has to be patients. right off to protect their citizens of course of the u.k. and us have been affected so does that because he led many other countries but what we are calling them is to not do it is not that they should give up their pets netting their people. but what we're asking them that they should use their power and the lever to force the must tickle companies to share their intellectual property. to the. technology pool so more producers can manufacture the vaccine so at the same time other peoples also get the vaccine and get the vaccine or they need it so it's not that the everybody in

u.k. and u.s. gets and then we send it to bangladesh and somalia and whatever but the principle i think is to everybody who is in the need so that the vulnerable people people over 60 the front line health workers the people with preexisting health conditions have to be very similar to it. cast of the fire at the priority bases ok i'm in favor of those that you know i'm sorry to cut you off we are running out of time but mr topper creates a get your thoughts on this and it's an important point you make everyone needs to be vaccinated for this for the population of the world really to have a chance against this virus thank you again for joining us from islamabad there is plenty more still to come on this news our including belgium now has the highest death rate in the world for covert 19 we'll hear what it means for people living

there time is running out for donald trump to challenge the u.s. election results as a federal deadline passes civil court other options are available to him. and in sports a major league soccer gene aiming to make history we'll have more on that and more later in the news. and more than 2000 children are among refugees and migrants who arrived in the canary islands over the past 2 months save the children says it's extremely concerned about their physical and mental health parity smith reports from drunken aria. it's not much of a red carpet welcome but for this boy's at least the 1st time he's touched dry land did 5 days. of spend the time in a fishing boat with around 25 other people crossing rough atlantic seas from west

africa. the canary islands experiencing the largest wave of migrants and refugees arrivals in 15 years and with it what the regional government calls a significant upturn in the number of children. international aid group save the children is concerned that the authorities here are struggling to provide for the specific needs of minors in overcrowded conditions to making this a life. i. wouldn't have seen. for example have seen people dying on board and turning to. and on might have experienced only. degrees and all these years the long. as it's you know. we were at sea for 6 days tells me 6 days he and his friend mahdi

a 16 years old from mali. in mali there's a war now so we came here my mother and father over there and they are getting old and now there's no money so i came here. there were more than 8000 migrants and refugees arrivals just in november breaking previous records spain's migration minister suggested transferring migrants to the mainland to relieve the pressure here but that's been rejected by other ministers just encourage others so new arrivals are being transferred to these military bases or being kept in hotels. unaccompanied children are less likely than adults to be sent back to their home country. shaken baby who runs an aid group that helps african migrants thinks this is why there are more minors making the trip. each person is a community project they're not coming on their own they've got their parents behind them they look for

a strategy to make their project successful and they know that their children have more chance to be able to stay in europe because it's the law. the canary islands government says it's open $21.00 emergency centers for unaccompanied minors it says it's repeatedly asked the spanish government and the e.u. for more money $12000000.00 has now been promised by the end of the year not as fast as the migrants and refugees keep arriving we have correspondents on both sides of this crisis in the minutes. in senegal as a major transit point for west africans heading to the canary islands 1st bernard smith is in grand canaria for a burner it's just explained why you have more people especially children the landing on the korean canary islands. our part of it is economic as nick will explain to you later a lot of it's practical as well it's just that the routes from the northern north

africa across the mediterranean to the southern european coast of being closed off because they're better patrolled now because of increased funding to the moroccans and the libyans for example so it's hard to get through that way so instead piling into these fishing boats on the coast of west africa you get 25 or so people in there in the setting out to sea sometimes 5 or 6 days at sea and then they land here so that is why they're coming this way and that is why the canary islands suddenly experiencing this large increase in the number of migrants our. and bernard would you say the authorities there are better prepared nights a deal with the influx of people because at the beginning of this crisis many people were sleeping on the the street side in the open for quite some time. look they seem to be still struggling i mean yes when it 1st got troops hit its

peak a few weeks ago on this key side this was full of tents and there were people living in tents for many weeks the time margaret stuck on here they cleared this out a couple of weeks ago and sent them to be hastily erected camps and some migrants are staying in hotels hotels that would ordinarily be empty but because of the crowing of ours in the notorious here those hotels are now taking in some of these migrants but what spain has just started to do from monday from yesterday it started again repatriating people to morocco those who they are instantly able to tell have no right to be here according to the law or they're being sent back to morocco these repatriation flights have been stopped for many months because of the coronavirus about 22 went on monday the authorities here say they're going to be repatriating about 80 per flight it's not many in compared to the number that are coming here but the government believes it will be to terence if people are seen to

be being sent back quickly it will discourage them from sailing across the atlantic here in the 1st place hala ok bernard they're live from the canary islands for now thank you very much let's cross noted see nicholas hug he joins the incentive next this route is much longer and more dangerous than the previous routes taken for people wanting to get from from africa it seems europe the welcome mat is clearly not the rule. so just why are people making this extremely dangerous journey. well hala we're in that used to be a hub for cotton exports to the rest of the world and migrants from all over went down for us to come here to find work now it's become a place for migrants to leave you've got. migrants coming up from mali fleeing war

they come here and then move on to go on to the boats heading towards the canary islands you've also got migrants from guinea political instability at home that are setting out to then on to these boats also many young senegalese from. itself now we're in a professional high school here and the principal in this school tells me that every week there are students here that disappear and try to make it across this journey to europe and we're in a classroom right here where students are learning about electricity trying to train to become electrician in a country where most don't have electricity and when you speak to these students they tell me that there simply aren't enough jobs in senegal you know their parents are farmers and over the years it's become harder and harder to farm they say the weather has changed it's become difficult to feed their animals or to feed themselves and that's why so many young people here are taking this journey they're

not fleeing war they're not flee economic crisis but they're looking for better opportunities for themselves and there's also this rumor. on social media in this high school as well is that because of the corona virus outbreak they believe that there are jobs made vacant by aging europeans that are dying from the virus hala and nic what are the authorities saying senegal doing an. exodus of people making that dangerous trip. i think i've lost your hollow. we appear to have lost nicholas. we were of course try and get back to nic the day here on al-jazeera biffen eyeless move on to other news the ethiopian government says it's still chasing undefeated fighters from the great people's liberation front federal troops captured the region's

capital mikhail lee last week but hundreds of people are still being displaced daily aid agencies say the area is too volatile to distribute humanitarian assistance within a 1000000 people into thought to have been displaced will joining us now here from doha is peter mahrer he's the presidents of the committee of the international committee of the red cross is good to have you where those here on out 0. just to start with a broad view of the situation the u.n. has been shots at trying to get into the area that the species area and delivery see people who need it you i'm assuming have staff in the area have they been subject to the same attacks and harassments. well we have seen a 10 security situation over the last weeks emerging we have been spared for the

time being off major security incidents but indeed we have been in. for since the outbreak and even before the escalation of l'isle and it remains a very dire situation but it remains 1st and foremost a dire situation for the civilian population we have seen dramatic shortages of. health services to people the main hospital in make a left is barely functioning anymore because our supply chain disruptions it is very difficult situation in terms of displacements and livelihoods for people in general and it is in particular a very difficult situation because of the number of wounded people who should to receive medical treatment and to receive it because supply chains are still a big issue. and are blocked it's not just supply chains that are brought to be

very difficult for news organizations such as ourselves to actually get in the area and fight out exactly what is happening on the grains are you in contact with the staff within the disputed sea gray region and if so what song are what are people saying what kind of message are they trying to get i see the wiser world because there's been a real news blackout for several weeks now. well the new was is quite simple and we do have as i mentioned staff in making. some of the other cities in the north as well in on her province and on the border between. so we will we are in contact with a lot of people we see people displaced. towards the sudan we see people

internally displaced i think what we see and hear is everybody is fleeing from the ongoing military operations have been affected by the military operations and once again the supplies which have been leveled already since a couple of weeks now are particularly strained big cars after a number of wounded the number of displaced with which we are trying to cope it's a very difficult situation because. once again it has been difficult to move around in the whole region and to organize a proper human and tear in response adequate to the challenges oh well given this what are you calling on the government to do at this point because they have opens up the region or sade's the u.n.

had access. region survey able to deliver help and supplies then transpires are being shot at so what would you call on the government to do in a bid to actually help the people who are trapped in the middle of this. well it's relatively simple i think we see this type of conversation in many contexts in which we operate those in charge of military operations try to keep as many you're many terry anzur as far away from the military operations i think we make a point from the international red cross and red crescent movement over all of that we are here exactly 4 doz sort of comes and says we need access we need support we need engagement and from the military commanders on the ground in order to be able to move around. a year many terror in response and we can't wake. the security situation is to the satisfaction of those operating the military context

and therefore we are in contact with the authorities in addie's. in other places. to ensure that better access is given to you many terrorist organizations it doesn't suffice just to allow the un and us to have access we need to ensure it is also unfolding into a practical steps and this is what we are still waiting for because given the numbers with which we are confronted we need to mount a much more significant operations and much more significant your many terran operation with integrate as well as at the borders. presidents of the international committee of the red cross joining us from doha thank you thank you. the number of afghan civilians killed in air strikes carried out by the us and its

allies has risen 330 percent since 2017 a report by brian university called the costs of war project said around 700 people died in 2019 alone as the most since american troops invaded afghanistan after the 911 attacks on the united states back in 2001 where the reports and tributes the roys to the u.s. relaxing its rules of engagement 3 years ago julie norman is a lecturer specializing in middle east and u.s. policy in the region she says airstrikes from afghan forces have also increased put in lives of many civilians at risk. we know that in 28 that's really when the united states was trying to get the taliban to negotiate to ultimately come to that agreement that they did reach in february this year but when we see a push for negotiations in that way you usually see both sides trying to gain leverage for those talks and indeed we saw an increase in airstrikes from the

united states as well as an increase in ground operations and violent attacks from the taliban over this period as well which has resulted in just a sharp increase in civilian casualties for afghanistan civilians across the board these are indeed astounding figures and sadly even sense that agreement in february violence really has not decreased in afghanistan already this year we've seen over 6000 casualties and with october on being one of the most costly months since last year so we do not see those numbers really decreasing significantly what has changed is where some of the sources of those civilian casualties have come from the u.s. has in fact decreased its airstrikes sense that 2020 agreement in february but in its place the afghan air force has picked up those attacks so civilian casualties from those attacks are now increasing substantially several quick check on the

weather here. now the last storm systems go through is quite active not it's remains in afghanistan the next one will produce a few showers in lebanon maybe a bit further south increasingly northern iraq and the high ground of turkey has to be snow so guys are the bottom end the a lot has 3 fine days but a cloud that's a small chance for shabbat $21.00 degrees is reasonable enough whether the show is blowing steadily than the gulf and there's an increasing likelihood of snow on the mountains of iran to around to this 1st snow day of the season as well the active season already is showing itself now in zambia and zimbabwe in particular and although it is welcome it isn't always helpful for example this is what happens when you get only 50 minutes or so gathering up in any of the rivers in zimbabwe overflowing quite often so are the victoria falls that is flooding at the windows so level in the south 50 millimeters in a raging torrent through this soft red mud even though the foundations tends to

undermine them as has been happening in sudden zimbabwe on the whole though this is positive news we've had some pretty poor seasonal rain last couple of years this is good and there's more to come for zimbabwe and mozambique and malawi the focus a blow away a calm therms it 3 sundry days great stuff. i.q. rod laws were still to come here on al-jazeera including normalising who were going to summon violence swines groups criticize abu dhabi for buying a stake in a new tory asis really football club. chuck yeager the test pilots who broke the sign barrier dies at the age of 97 will take a look back at his life. and sports covered $1000.00 cases hit the n.b.a. as the league prepares for its new season all of us and more coming up after this break. the world food program will receive the nobel peace prize for fighting against

to have passed i mean it's certainly true that per capita belgium was the worst in europe as far as infection rates they were twice as bad as france 7 times worse than germany and as far as death rates they were even 5 times worse than the united states and it was $17.00 per 1000000 in belgian deaths compared to 3.5 in the united states we're really talking about a population of about 11 a half 1000000 so a small outbreak can have a disproportionately large impact on statistics that said the belgians and indeed the rest of the europeans will be eyeing britain's role out of this fire is a bio insect vaccine with some envy and with some expectation because the european medicines agency will not approve the biotech fine job until december the 29th at the earliest of the current time table and is another job that's been developed by a company called ma done which will be january the 12th before the european

medicines agency which has the responsibility for approving such things here across the european union will will consider approving the modena vaccine so the there are you know issues about the timetabling of vaccines and when places like belgium. germany france italy was evolving badly hits will also get it. the u.s. has experienced this deadliest week of the coronavirus pandemic since april 15th 1000 americans have died from covert 1000 in the past 7 days much of the recent surge has been attributed to thanksgiving celebrations and there are warnings it will only get worse says more people travel the end of year holiday season and what we have now is a challenge ahead of us of the bleak months of december in january where we have a baseline of inspections that literally is breaking records every day with regards

to number of infections number of hospitalizations and numbers of deaths the numbers are really stunning we can do something about it but that's something right now is public health measures. i mean yes another blows the president donald trump's attempt to overturn the election results the state of georgia has reconfirmed president elect joe biden's win this is the 3rd recounts of votes and each time biden's victory has been upheld president trump had repeatedly and falsely claims the election was rigged trump still refuses to concedes last month's election and hopes to overturn the results before their finalized bunts his time is running out it's the same for 8 for what's called safe harbor day is when states must resolve legal challenges and certify their results just a handful of states have not stone so already it is so it's unlikely to change the outcome or the election as long as the states of certified the results by december

8th which was no x.'s are free to votes for president and vice president without interference from congress but the chosen electors will meet next week on december 14th to cast the actual votes for president than to resolve any remaining legal disputes though trump can continue challenging the election after that it's the u.s. constitution mandates that presidential term will end at noon on january 20th let's get more now from our white house correspondent kimberly hold kids kimberly i find we're learning more about the intricacies of the u.s. constitution with each passing day safe harbor day is this a significant marker and what does this mean for donald trump's attempts to overturn this democratic election. it is a significant marker now i have to admit there are many americans ordinary

americans who probably know the significance of this day but certainly donald trump's lawyers do certainly state house legislatures do and certainly members of congress on capitol hill know about the significance. this day because what safe harbor day does is essentially put one of the final nails in the coffin if you will for donald trump's attempts to overturn the outcome of the 2020 presidential election and just to be clear in terms of this day and the communication from the governors as you pointed out already many governors have communicated to the electoral college saying that their votes have been certified there are only a handful that have not and this is the deadline to do so and it doesn't look good for many of donald trump's efforts that we have been reporting for weeks that many of the states where he would need to overturn the results those bands have been unsuccessful georgia you mentioned was the most recent but also michigan wisconsin

arizona nevada pennsylvania in other words every day after today it gets more and more difficult what these lawyers would need to do is not only show that there was fraud but that there was widespread fraud have credible evidence of fraud and then have it be enough to overturn the election results in all of these pivotal states and so far the campaign has not been able to do that now what we do know is that it is significant today being 6 days before the electoral college will formally vote to make joe biden and the president elect what i can tell you just for the numbers again joe biden has 306 electoral college votes donald trump has just 232 but he refuses to concede he said that he believes that he won this election he believes that some of the voting systems or the dominion voting

machines as they're known here in the united states had an algorithm that weighted his votes less than joe biden's but again his legal team has been on able to prove this still there are some republican lawmakers who stayed. of pennsylvania that say citing this that congress should not accept the results of the vote still this is just one state in other words donald trump's efforts have little hope of succeeding what today really marks is the insurance of the constitution and that safe transfer of power that has been a bedrock of american democracy for decades of more than 100 years more than 200 years ok kember the health of the line from the white house came to be frank you are now a member of abu dhabi's royal family has bought a 50 percent stake in an israeli football club based on. sheikh hama it's been. has also committed its invest will the $92000000.00 over the next decades that's

despite based on being the only talk in israel never to have signed a palestinian israeli player they also have a group of fans known as la familia which has been openly abusive toward palestinian israelis live there it's a hairy force it he joins us from west jerusalem this is been something of a controversial acquisition isn't. indeed yes this is a big deal both in terms of the finances it's estimated some $30000000.00 upfront in u.s. dollars with a promise of $90000000.00 and to be invested over 10 years politically because this is a club very much associated with israeli and jewish nationalism and indeed with the ruling likud party of israel benjamin netanyahu is associated with this club he gave a comment earlier on on tuesday saying that this showed the pace of normalization

with gulf states but above all this is a huge deal in terms of the the really toxic culture of racism that has attached itself to this club for so many years there have been attempts to change that before if you go back to 2005 there was the signing of an african muslim player he was pretty much hounded out by the far right la familia supporters from within the club in short order again in 20132 chechen muslim players were assigned again there was a very vigorously anti muslim campaign waged against them a huge group of supporters hundreds of them when one of them scored his 1st goal for the club they simply walked out of this stadium behind me in protest and again just in the last few days as this deal is being firmed up there there was nearly 100 strong group of jerusalem hardcore supporters who stormed the training pitch and started chanting anti arab and anti muslim slogans jeering not so that has been
