rights groups criticize abu dhabi for buying a stake in a notorious israeli football club. nearly a year into the corona virus pandemic which has killed more than one of the half 1000000 people globally the 1st fully tested vaccine is being rolled out in the u.k. 800000 doses of the pfizer bio and tech vaccine are now they will have hospitals across the country and a full 400000 people the elderly and frontline health workers 1st in line need barkha reports. 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. over 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 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 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 by and take 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 3 months of grief and anxiety lives have been cut short an 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 that in the 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 we 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 that's began the fark al-jazeera london. the oxford astra zeneca corona virus vaccine has been deemed safe and effective after trials the review published in the lancet medical journal found

that the vaccine be on average around 70 percent effective if i can increase up to 90 percent depending on the doses let's go live now to london office or a sunnier gago can tell us more about this oxford astra zeneca vaccine which is much cheaper than the the the pfizer bio enter. that's right and that's one of the reasons why it's the most important. stage of this not only is it one of the cheapest ones to produce but it is also the easiest to store which means. it can be then easiest to transport around the world very important in order to be able to get that vaccine rolled out certainly 1st the most vulnerable in the population then to everyone else so very important step there as well but this vaccine it's made from an genetically

engineered corona virus that causes a common cold in chimpanzees it was then. altered so it could. produce an immune response by t. cells. antibodies to initiate that immune response stop but what issues you've sort of touched upon light in the lead up to that about how effective it is now in the interim trials where they tested out in the u.k. and in brazil there were different variations of the effect i think kristie of of this of this vaccine and that's because they accidentally gave one group heart of the dose a mistake that was made in there but it was a lucky accident because it turned out that that heart dose is the half strength dosage turned out to be the one that was most effective so with that slight accident there it turned it turns out that that is perhaps the key to getting this vaccine as effective as possible but the head of the study said that this really

should go out 1st and foremost as quickly as possible to the most vulnerable people and that it passes all the exceeded all the expectations of the threshold set out by the health authorities. well britain is the 1st country to start ministering the pfizer bio and tech vaccine that started today. and that's right and really quite an emotional response from the health secretary as as well as other health authorities barks there is a note of caution that is being answered with this as well their health. care even though this was a credit marks an incredible day that still people have to be mindful of adhering to the safety restrictions there the social distancing the wearing of mosques because of course the danger is that there could be another spike in infections

because this is winter. here in the northern hemisphere and of course this is where the virus thrives most of all infections most of all in this kind of cold weather this was echoed by the. defense p.t. chief medical officer who said that really there was no sort of time exact time frame exactly for when restrictions could be lifted but it is thought generally that if all goes according to plan and people stick to this safety measures and the vaccine program rolls out well then perhaps we're looking even as early as spring to be able to ease that now we'll be looking into of easing of restrictions and december 16th to see how much that needs to be sort of more restrictive the violence in society especially coming up to the christmas period here where people will be allowed to mix with close relatives but all in all even though it's so it's

a day for celebration here there is of course that caution that is being underlined by everyone here from the top of the government and the health authorities are serious and you're going to go reporting live from london so many thanks. 2 pranks at the go see asians now the u.k. is backing down on one of the key issues it's removed clauses from a domestic bill the breaches the withdrawal part of its agreement with the e.u. it's been a sticking point in talks aimed at securing a wider trade deal britain's prime minister barak's johnson and even commission president some of on the land will soon meet in brussels this week the u.k. has left the european union but hasn't till december 31st to secure a long term trade deal with european commission vice president marcos suffolk of each has cautiously welcomed the development clearly be created was at the moment to be to move to i would say one big obstacle from that way and i hope.

we will see that positive results also coming from these very complex negotiations even though we are fully aware how complicated and demanding. this process it's more now from charlie angela in london. it's definitely not the trade deal announcement 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 and 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 goods 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 that this is specifically for checks on animals plants and derive products export declarations the supply of medicines the supply of chilled means and other food products to supermarkets 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 e.u. because it would have broken international law and that is definite progress because the bill was a serious impediment to any potential trade deal iran has approved a bill suspending the un's unrestricted inspections of its nuclear facilities but it didn't happen without control the seat in turn from his so big to explain. well it gives the united states and the europeans france germany and the united kingdom 2 months before iran blocks i.a.e.a.

inspectors from inspecting its nuclear sites and starts enriching uranium to 20 percent now this law was passed despite opposition from president hassan rouhani and his reformist government he failed to meet a deadline to write it into law so the speaker of parliament has published this law so it is law now president hassan rouhani has said that it was harmful for diplomacy and that parliamentarians should that diplomats do their job but what it does show is this lift in the country between the reformists who are in power and the conservatives who have the majority in parliament now the reformists have always been for the 2015 nuclear deal for negotiations and waiting until president elect joe biden comes into office and hopefully lift those sanctions and has the united states rejoin that 2015 nuclear deal in a tactic called strategic patience well the conservatives really if you speak to them their perspective is that iran entered the 2015 nuclear deal in good faith and they entered negotiations they made compromises now they say what did we get in return the united states pulled out of that deal president donald trump imposed

sanctions on iran's oil and banking sector as well as other individuals and institutions and the europeans weren't really able to find a way around those sanctions at least not to a satisfactory standard for iran and to insult to injury to assassinations this is one of general cost and for the money carried out by the united states in iraq and one of iran's leading scientists most in fact result if they suspect it at the end of last month on iranian soil that conservatives say enough is enough iran needs to be defiant and act now and that's why this law was passed what it shows is in this internal battle between the conservatives and the reformists president hassan rouhani and his reformist have lost out on this particular battle. we're going to weather update backs here on out as they were then the summer olympics is breaking with tradition we'll tell you more.

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 bottom and the a light 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 down 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 up in the victoria falls that is flooding up the windows

so level in the south 50 millimeters in a raging torrent through this soft red mud even in 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 season rain last couple of years so this is good and there's more to come for zimbabwe and mozambique and malawi to focus a blow away or calm therms it 3 sundry days great stuff. frank assessments you've got colleagues on the ground in the canaries what is the situation there's only one doctor and one nurse or $2200.00 people informed opinions how big does foreign policy figure in the early stages of a bi ministration he comes into office with a huge amount of foreign policy experience in-depth analysis of the day's global headlines how will a place like it live get the vaccine when there's no money and all the rest of rich countries are fighting for an inside story on al-jazeera.

rules allow host cities to hand-pick sports think clued in the games based on local popularity and public appeal with paris organize a saying that they want to attract a new and younger audience the sport will officially be known as breaking breaking isn't. totally new to the olympics it was featured at the 2018 youth games and want to see it has a pretty big following a limp dick program commission report last year estimated that 1000000 people take part its inclusion does have its critics australian squash greats michel martin says that including it is making a mockery of what the olympics is earlier we spoke to really break down column saying who plans to represent great britain at the paris games he expects his sport will prove the critics wrong. has been very very much regard to as a dance an art form a sport i'm a different things that are and i believe that debate still going on is still a little bit controversial however a physical exertion and in a competitive nature does make it a sport as such and i think people realize that once they do chewing into it and it

and it gets it shall not platform is a little better and sometimes when you do see some of the negative comments about break in and what breaking is thing that's due to having a lack of understanding about what it is that we actually do because a lot of people still think that break in and be boy in a break dance is just going on the street with a boom box and a half or doing the robot for many clubs but it's come such a long way from that i guess something like this which is unique and different allows the youth to become intrigued is it has a social aspects my allowed people to get involved and so not this is much much much different to the traditional sports icon in the olympics and some that haven't yet featured and which might get the youth and the participation levels up with myself doing what i do in the nature of it and the nature of what we do as a whole and then picks would be a dream come true to be able to represent on that scale also because i'm so competitive and i enjoy what i do i'd love to have
