if you're treated and you just feel sure even through the join me richelle carey and upright is my guess from around the world take a hot seat and we debate the week's top stories of pressing issues here on al-jazeera. a 90 year old grandmother is the 1st person to get the pfizer biotech goal with 19 vaccine as the u.k. will say it's a nationwide immunization plan. i know that i'm having a hissy and this is al jazeera my from doha also coming out the british government withdrawals contentious causes of a draft bill that breaches its agreements to pull out of the e.u. . we have $300.00 pages of words and now we need them translated into powerful

action these ilands muslims call for change after an investigation into the christ church mosque attack exposes failings of the country's security agency it's. a desperate journey for a new beginning to rise in the number of child refugees trying to cross into europe from africa. 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 of all at the pfizer by my own tech vaccine 800000 doses are 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 they've barker 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 then moments do please go for it in a somewhat dramatic turn the 2nd vaccine went to a man called william shakespeare a poetic star 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 the 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 for 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 or 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 who've been cut short and elderly people separated from their loved ones we've known for some time but the only sure fire way out of this pandemic is a vaccine and now a shred of hope that miller not too distant future things might start returning to normal it's 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 some 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 of. the park al-jazeera london. was turns breaks at negotiations there in the u.k. is backing down on one of the key issues it's removed courses from a domestic bill that breaches the withdrawal parts of the agreement with the now this is been a sticking point in talks to secure a wider trade deal but as prime minister boris johnson and the e.u. commission president are sort of underlying will still mates in brussels later this week. to leave the european union at best nights on december 1st let's get more now from charlie angelo she joins me live from london and charlie what does this mean exactly what the u.k. is doing what it's backing down on does this essentially mean there are no deal breaks it's not off the table. well is deafening not the trade deal

announced in that we've been waiting for but it is the resolution of one of these disagreements it's been going on in power a little over northern ireland and we just heard from michael gove who's one of the prime ministers most senior ministers and. the e.u. commission vice president they said that they are delighted to announce an agreement in principle on all issues in the u.k. e.u. withdrawal agreement joint committee so that means that they've come to an agreement on the specifics of how good can be traded between the u.k. and northern ireland good news for northern ireland because it means they can now work out how things will be done and the committee said that specifically this will include border control posts specifically for checks on animals plants and derive products export declarations the supply of medicines the supply of chilled meats and other food products to see for markets so it's important on that level it's

also very important because it means that the u.k. can now remove the controversial clauses from that so-called internal market bill that so angered the eve because it would have broken international law and that is definite progress because the bill was a serious impediment to any potential trade deal that could be done the e.u. said it wouldn't proceed unless those clauses were removed so we are certainly a step closer to to a potential deal but what we're waiting for now is details of when the prime minister is going to have that meeting with the e.u. commission president he's going to be travelling to brussels for a face to face meeting and hoping to make some progress there although today his view was not very. not very. little bit skeptical he was saying it's going to be very very difficult to get a deal but with this announcement from michael gove perhaps that look a bit rosier so what's going to happen next michael gove will return to london he

will present this deal. to go to parliament and then the prime minister will head off to brussels but whether or not all of this can be wrapped up before the e.u. summit on the e.u. leaders summit on thursday is actually pretty doubtful. so this is certainly a step forward but there has been lots of concern in the run up to this because it's not an awful lot of time t 2 and you see less so in the u.k. is the european union deal or no deal on the 31st of december what's the feeling in the u.k. right now certainly a positive sense that things will go well or is it still a bit of a tight group at the minute charlie is absolutely right but the mood music is not great as you as i said prime minister himself saying this morning is going to be very very difficult the feeling was that if he was going to brussels for a face to face meeting he wouldn't want to come back empty handed so these are the

laying the ground saying that you know i might come back empty handed be prepared for that in the last few hours we've also had an on of branch in the e.u. saying listen we are willing to take talks beyond 2021 but the prime minister's spokesman for lightly refusing and rejecting that offer. ok well almost there but not quite yet charlie angelo there with the unenviable task of following forrest charlie thank you very much indeed let's move on to other news though the ethiopian government says it is still a chasing fighters from the growing people's liberation front but it describes us underfeed seeds federal troops captured the region's capital mckayla last week but hundreds of people are still being forced to leave their homes every day aid agencies say the area's 2 vols home to distribute humanitarian assistance when a 1000000 people in t. grow thought to have been displaced let's get the very latest now from harmon he's

live for us in sudan's capital khartoum and the hardest appears it's not quite mission accomplished then for the ethiopian government's given that there are still chasing dying fighters what does this say about the state of the conflict in this area and is there any hope that agencies will be allowed inside the area to help people anytime soon. oh that's right tyler the situation gets more and more complicated as we see of more reports and details we know that there is there has been a blackout information. not many things are coming from there in terms of what's going on not complete clarity but the reports coming from there and even things that have been confirmed by the each open government like the event when the army opened fire on the u.n. the u.n. aid convoy going to tikrit that's one of the complexities of the situation and they

. are giving apparently a very limited scope for the u.n. agencies to move and to maneuver or to give aid to people that's not satisfying to those agencies they think they have to be given from access to the areas where they can meet with the displays the victims. and on the other hand also there are reports from the u.s. that the train army is involved unconfirmed not off we should be and now also why the american government but american diplomats on condition of anonymity talking about it and even other diplomats from other countries talking about the presence of the every train army inside ukraine itself both countries that israel. denied information denied any joint action between the armies. that it has sent and it's what's inside we've been hearing some accounts by the refugees coming into sudan

about that we never reported it but now it's being talked about within the us itself to news agencies and so on and that adds to the complexity also the norwegian refugees council has announced that the situation is getting more and more complicated the situation is getting more difficult for the people inside to great self and that aid can't wait to be sent there. ok mahmoud sol there live for us in khartoum thank you. will be tomorrow or is the presidents of the international committee of the red cross he says the disruption of aid supply channels. has worsened the crisis 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 of the escalation of violence 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 is barely functioning anymore because our supply chain disruptions it is a 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. still to come here and all just 0 normalising hooliganism and violence rights groups criticize abu dhabi for buying

a stake in the tory israeli football club. living in. the well and a nationwide strike in india disrupts life forms stepped up their protests against new laws on the crisis. the. winters how to how to push their stay put where it is which is the far north of china leaking the air across to her car in the immediate future on wednesday probably find that on thursday the shout pick up again that we start showers on the slopes and the old honshu and lower ground in her car but the sun is out for the most part through northern china the korean peninsula not so much in central southern charge rather more cloudy here you'll notice this coolish northeast monsoon has been picking up more peppy showers into vietnam it will do

the same again on wednesday and it will also pep him up as it comes around the corner into borneo and java in the next day or so whereas it's not so much the northeast monsoon to consider here in india those still go in this spin off of thunderstorms in the arabian sea might again become a cycloid on the west of the way you come in through pakistan and if you're lucky the north of india it will change the air quality in lahore and new delhi currently it is very poor but you get a thunderstorm on top even of the surface when doesn't change that would churn things up and that's where i expect to happen on wednesday in lahore and on thursday if you're lucky in new delhi course it won't last most of the northern indian plane is settled and 40. jump into the stream and julian on global community bio diversity is biosecurity it

is that essential for our species to survive be part of the debate i know you have my days and you can be part of this conversation when no topic is off the table the police are not neutral and all of these cases goal here is to terrorize and here's the other part of this there's no consequence to this stream on out as they are. the at. this is al-jazeera a quick reminder of the top stories for you this hour the world's 1st fluey trials corona virus vaccine has been pulled out it's in the u.k. $800000.00 doses of pfizer by on tax vaccine are now available in 70 hospitals

out of the people and health workers are being prioritized. the years really of causes from a bill that breaches the withdrawal the dream it's with the e.u. has been a sticking point in talks to secure a future trade deal. and the ethiopian government says it's still chasing pfizer's from the tiebreak people's liberation front federal troops captured the region's capital last week but hundreds of people are still being displaced every day. my belgium has reported more coronavirus related deaths per head of population than any other nation worldwide and a higher rate of infection than all but 4 other countries strictures and belgium may be in place for months paul brennan is in brussels he says a lack of regional coordination has made the situation more difficult for authorities to bring the outbreak under control. there's

a rather fragmented administration system here in belgium with different regions and different counts on the source of not working necessarily in close collaboration with each other and there are also different language areas as well which adds to a degree of fragmentation that said some of the worst of the statistics do appear 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 this far as death rates they were even 5 times worse than the united states and it was $17.00 per 1000000 here 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 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 worst week of a coronavirus pandemic since april 15th 1000 americans have died from covert 19 in the past 7 days much of the recent surge has been attributed to people gathering for thanksgiving celebrations and there are warnings that all will rise as more

people travel for the end of year holiday season. a member of up with derby is royal family has voted 50 percent stake in an israeli football club beats our jerusalem should come had been. has also committed to invest more than $92000000.00 in the club over the next decades as despite being the only top club 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 are a force that has more now from west jerusalem. on the day that it was reported that a former israeli space security chief was confirming the existence of aliens this is perhaps the 2nd most sort of cognitively dissonant story in the media the idea that an arab royal family would buy into in such a large way the most overtly arab anti arab group of fans

in israeli football and their club bits are jerusalem which plays here at teddy stadium in southwestern jerusalem does seem very strange nonetheless the new owner as of 2 years ago at least. a whole gig who himself says he is a jewish arab because of his parentage coming from north africa he's been trying to shift the perception and change the nature of this club this is a a bit coin or cyber currency tycoon here in israel he's been trying to sort of shift the perception of this club that has stayed with it throughout its history sit pretty much since its inception in 1934 and he has signed for example an african muslim midfielder he has tried to really change the way that this club is seen nonetheless there it remains this very sizable hardcore openly

that service which is something good was started from there and there what we undercut for the change. after hundreds of interviews in britain submissions the commission of inquiry findings were made public it found that intelligence and security agencies were too focused on islamic extremists and didn't pay enough attention to others including white supremacists like brenton terence who carried out the attack on 2 mosques in christchurch and it found police failed to meet required standards when they issued him a firearms license without proper character references or background checks while the commission made no findings that these issues would have stopped the a take these were failings now and elise and for that on behalf of the government i apologize terence was among those interviewed for the report but his comments have been permanently suppressed to avoid them being used by others as motivation to carry out similar attacks some and the muslim community are welcoming

the recommendations others are saying the report doesn't go far enough and there is skepticism about any real change because many say that been raising some of the same concerns outlined in the report for years and no one listened and no one acted until a gunman entered the mosques and killed 51 people the government has accepted in principle all $44.00 recommendations which include strengthening laws on hate crimes of which many muslims say they've been victims of the commissions ultimate finding was that nothing could have been done to stop the attacks many in the community that was targeted by the gunman disagree saying if they had only been listened to a long time ago the lives of 51 people could have been saved wayne hay al jazeera christchurch. while the 2000 children are among refugees migrants who arrived in the canary islands in the last 2 months save the children says as extremely concerned about their physical and mental health and smith reports from gran canaria. it's not much of
