blues literate is an audience we have a narrative i have a question join me richelle carey and up front is my guest from around the world take a hot seat and we debate the week's top stories and pressing issues here on al-jazeera . al-jazeera. hello i'm adrian for the good this is the live from coming up in the next 60 minutes. a 19 year old grandmother is the 1st person to get the files of bio and tech covert 19 vaccine as the u.k. rolls out a nationwide immunization plan. the british government with drawls contentious clauses of a draft bill look breaches its withdrawal agreement with the e.u. . a desperate journey for a new beginning a rise of

a number of child refugees trying to cross into europe from africa. and chucky go to test pilots who broke the sound barrier dies at the age of 97. and i'm santa how much with all the sports i asked to football's biggest oz get set to go head to head in the champions league showdown. nearly a year into the corona virus pandemic which has killed more than 1500000 people globally the world's 1st fully tested vaccine is being rolled out in the u.k. this is the moments when a 90 year old grandmother from northern ireland became the 1st person to get the fires a bio and tech jab 800000 doses of vaccine and a little at hospitals across the country that's enough to vaccinate 400000 people in the past few hours u.s. health officials published the 1st detailed review of the pfizer vaccine largely

confirming its effectiveness on tuesday donald trump is expected to sign an executive order ensuring that americans are prioritized for vaccines procured by the government and mexico is planning to give the pfizer vaccine to 125000 people in the coming weeks we'll get the latest on all those developments from our correspondents have live for us in mexico city kimberly how good is in washington and sunny have a go is live for us outside the hospital in london where people are being given the 1st jobs of the covert 19 vaccine but 1st here's a report from neve bucko. 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. because it's

free and it's the best thing that's ever happened and the moment 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 and wales 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 celcius 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 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 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 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 of. the foka al-jazeera london. for a so sania an important day today in the fight against covert 19 but the british government

still proceeding with some caution. yes amid their relief and the celebration there is of course still the fact that people do have to take care until they get access to that fact and themselves because of course this is only being rolled out to the most vulnerable people as of now the health sector emap hang out stressed that even though he said it a bit of emotion that this was such an important day people still had to adhere to the rules the social distancing the wearing of mosques. the taking care of the washing of hands this is something that is still being in effect but on december the 16th the u.k. is going to review the restrictions that it has in place but even though it has those restrictions it's very unlikely that they will be loosened to a great extent until april or so. the health secretary did say that he'd hoped it

would be by then even though the deputy chief medical officer was saying that you know perhaps it's even too early to tell at this stage whether that will be possible but nevertheless just reflecting on the day thousands of vaccinations of mannish to take place and so really a lot to be thankful for a lot to be grateful for a lot to celebrate as well course of thought for all of those people who lost their lives in this in this pandemic but nevertheless it's still cautious especially as numbers of the infections are still continuing to rise across the capital in london and that is also something worth bearing in mind as they continue along this vaccination journey which hopefully will get better rather than worse how does it go live in london but he thanks on here our white house correspondent kimberly helka standing by for us in washington what are we expecting to happen back today.

yeah well about an hour's time the u.s. president will be signing in 2nd of order that will allow or prioritize for americans to receive this vaccine 1st it's a little bit curious given the fact that the white house has repeatedly said that there wouldn't be a problem receiving the vaccines many are sort of scratching their heads about why there is a need for an executive order to prioritize so that we're expecting some clarification or hoping to get some clarification on that in the midst of all this the other thing that this sort of vaccine summit that the white house is holding is is about is to highlight what the trump administration sees as the speedy production in the united states and also to reassure americans about the science because there are millions of americans that feel that this has been rushed through that there wasn't tested on communities of color adequately or even on children or pregnant women so

there's a lot of reluctance about the vaccine here in the united states so the administration is also trying to combat that as well now in the midst of all of this we should point out that in order to try and alleviate public concerns that pfizer one of the drug companies behind one of these vaccines is holding a hearing where the f.d.a. is holding the hearing and pfizer has put out the science so that people can see this this hearing will be live streamed and that's taking place on thursday and this is really an extraordinary step because it is once again trying to get millions of americans to get on board with this vaccine that may be reticent so that's sort of what's happening here at the white house but of course when donald trump speaks will certainly watch to see what more he has to say about this vaccine and any other topic that he cares to discuss where kimberly can americans realistically expect them to receive something is facts here. well that's where people are feeling like they may have been lied to a little bit the white house always said look if you want when you will be able to

get millions of doses very quickly and that's turning out to not be entirely true what we're learning is that the white house did have an opportunity to purchase millions of doses of vaccine back in the summer but chose to buy just a limited number because there was still concern that this was being tested they were 100 percent sure of the science themselves and so as a result other countries bought these doses up so well we know that some americans will receive vaccines by the end of this year it could be quite a pas like the spring even into early june before there will be millions more doses and when a country of 330000000 people this is clearly not going to be enough so that's another thing that the president's going to have to answer for because he has repeatedly insisted that this is something that he has downplayed in terms of concerns that there will be a problem with distribution it already we're seeing that there may be some problems indeed white house correspondent kelly how could that live for us in washington

many thanks complete mexico is one of the worst affected countries in this pandemic just there are some on what are police standing by for us in mexico city what's the national vaccine strain to see them and will. we heard early on tuesday from the mexican president and from federal health officials here in mexico more so than anything else reassuring the people of mexico that everyone will have access free access to this vaccine now that the implementation plan has been rolled out and we heard from mexico's foreign minister months into it that and of outlining the implementation plan saying that mexico mexico's government has access to 9 potential different vaccines having secured contracts with at least 3 companies this includes the pfizer vaccine the astra zeneca vaccine or the pfizer vaccine specifically which will include $125000.00 doses to roll out phase one of the vaccine program which is going to begin at the end of december and into january

these are some of the main points that were outlined in that press conference earlier this morning access to the vaccine will be universal here in mexico it will be prioritizing medical professionals as well as persons over 60 years of age and other people who are considered at risk or more vulnerable a similar strategy than what we're hearing being rolled out and europe and canada in the united states as well again this is the 1st stage of vaccinations that's being announced at the end the last days of december and into january another thing that was interesting from that morning press conference mexico's deputy health minister has got been talking about the lack of universal access to health care here in mexico inequality social inequality that leads to an equal access to medications he says that despite the limitations on the number of doses initially despite the limitations that many people in the in the country have to adequate

health care there is a guarantee from the government that everyone will have equal access to this vaccine and for free and just briefly run remind us of the history of the pandemic in mexico right now. well with more than 110000 confirmed deaths from covert 1000 this is the 4th highest death toll in the world of big concern right now is the oversaturation of hospitals we know about and 7 public hospitals here in mexico city alone these are the coded designated hospitals that are all already operating beyond their occupancy limits they're already beyond the saturation point another 14 hospitals that are also reaching the limits of their occupancy this is according to international health observers from the united nations last week the federal government and state authorities here in mexico city announced a set of guidelines urging people not to travel during the holiday season anticipating the busy holiday season christmas and new years asking people not to attend parties not to engage in gift exchanges as

a way to reduce the contagion as the hospitals are filling up so are the streets so are the department stores but the mexican government till now has stopped short of announcing anything that could be considered in it enforced restriction so there is an expectation that many people have here that a lockdown of the city will be inevitable before the end the year 0 as man welled up on the reporting live from mexico city many thanks dave manuel with the oxford astra zeneca corona virus vaccine has been deemed safe and effective trial is the review published in the lancet medical journal found the vaccine to be on average around 70 percent effective thus that can increase to up to 90 percent depending on the situation. of bring in global health analyst peter dr about who's the director of the skull center for social entrepreneurship at the university of oxford good to have you with us once again that piece of how soon before this next astra zeneca virus receives approval and starts it starts to be administered. well remains

to be seen i think it's already under review and like all these back scenes the regulators have actually been making rolling reviews of the data as these trials have progressed and so so i think we'll will see some some news over the next couple of weeks here in the u.k. it's encouraging and i want to applaud the researchers for publishing their full results that's the 1st time that we've seen that full transparency and it does appear to meet our thresholds for safety and efficacy however that the trials were a bit complicated they pooled a number of different trials together with different protocols different sizes and so that top line result that we were all excited about that 90 percent efficacy in that small group of people who got the so-called have to use after reviewing the data today i have to say i still question whether that's a result we can necessarily feel confident about without further study i still think that it meets the the necessary endpoints and we will see approval here in

the u.k. but but some of that complexity is going to make it a difficult task for regulators to evaluate ok so the pfizer bio intake vaccine has begun it's run out in the u.k. today but as we were hearing earlier that that vaccine is is a more expensive than the astra zeneca one it's difficult to transport around and 6 tree mean low temperature as to what extent is it the astra zeneca vaccine that that many of us hold or some of the vaccine to it when i actually be getting rather than the pfizer one of alternately. i think it remains to be seen the reality is of course as we as we embark on the largest mass vaccination campaign in our lifetimes we're going to need all of these vaccines we're going to need several different ones so there's no winners we want all of them to win the oxford astra zeneca vaccine has some real advantages it doesn't require the ultra cold storage so it's much easier to distribute especially in resource limited settings it already has

the kind of manufacturing scaling capacity underway that's quite extraordinary and then finally they've made an admirable commitment to not profit from the vaccine so it's much less expensive so dad vaccine gives a real promise for starting to turn the tide of the pen demick around the world and so we have to root for it but we're going to the mall ok so today was was day one as far as the run out of vaccines are concerned how long before this run out and begins to impact upon the pandemic i think it will be months soonest we have to understand today is a milestone it's a day for real optimism this is going to be challenging we've already seen some manufacturing delays the logistics of getting this out and getting people back then and getting them back after 21 days is going to be filled with i think some unexpected obstacles and challenges to get to a critical mass of people back then it where it's really going to affect transmission rates is at least months away so what that means is we should be

optimistic but look we're facing rising transmission right now we're facing a devastating situation of the us we need to focus on the basic public health measures that we know can slow transmission and save lives because you know we're not out of the woods yet always comes to o.t. paisa many thanks indeed thank you in the u.k. elderly people in calf homes and spent months isolated from their families the vaccine now gives many of them the hope of a normal life perhaps as we're hearing in the coming months john a home reports from newcastle. badly hit by the coronavirus care homes have had to devise innovative ways to allow families to meet her i was just going to say he had actually normally goes a sanitized pod in the garden half hour slots it's no substitute for physical contact but it's as close as many are able to get.

it's not. so the vaccine is especially good news here with the government promising delivery within weeks it's sparked cautious excitement i think realistically we're looking at probably february march next year and that's because of the logistical challenges do you think yeah the more more information that we're hearing from public health and various other sources i believe it's going to be a very difficult program for them to roll out and so. talking to various people again this morning i think that's the realistic they of course will welcome it soon but we just got to be patient with the program and make sure the it works do it right peter is visiting his parents ron mary both forced to self isolate after mary's return from a spell in hospital. as far. as membership you can brochure. although why yeah they're having to do it the hard way they're coming to live i'll know

that's nice but we're more decorations out this week on our part of this week. it was serious will it be lovely to go in there and to give them a hard. and up close but you can't do it but often those people in that situation so you just get them over most of a lot for months residents and staff that care homes have lived a precarious existence full of emotional stress and uncertainty families have been deprived of close contact the vaccine offers the hope of an end to all that it's music to all of our is and i just think you know it's what we've all been waiting for it's almost hope he was going to be this side of christmas but you know it's not worth washing it before being so patient for most of this year haven't we in it which is no point rushing it just to say christmas so let's just wait let's do it right. but well best to join

a whole al-jazeera newcastle this is the news hour from al-jazeera still to come on the program. we have a 100 pages of words and now we need them translated into powerful action new zealand's muslims call for change shock for investigation into the christ church mosques killing. workers across india launch a nationwide strike in support of farmers protests against agricultural. on the summer olympics is breaking with tradition. a new sport to be included details coming up later and. turkey has warned east libyan forces of quote grave consequences if they target turkish interests in the country itself or a turkish cargo ship was intercepted in the mediterranean by forces loyal to the

warlord khalifa haftar the turkish foreign minister said that the perpetrators would be viewed as legitimate targets he demanded the vessel be allowed to continue its journey to western libya turkey is the main backer of the internationally recognized government of national court based in tripoli let's bring in al-jazeera sin and cos the owner who's in istanbul tell us more about this. well i agree and this story actually has 2 sides technical and political and let's begin with the technical side and they force its claim that this turkish vessel which is said to be carrying medicine. answered in the military is on waters which they have and which they shouldn't have and i spoke to the consul general in misrata and he told me that this is about and they claim is also on the other side and the wrestle company claims that the crew actually say that they haven't been warned or they haven't been informed by the l.a.

forces that this is evidence for its own areas so there is this. that there is this missing reading of the situation between 2 but. from the consul general that. insurance company that is ship is working with is has launched and there goes the process and the both sides agreed on that penalty in libya and denies that it's going to be paid soon but of course since it's a libyan dinars we don't know how the transaction is going to happen so the consul general says he x. he expected that everything would have been sorted out today about the fact that some technical details probably were going to have this issue sorted out by to morrow but we have contact with the crew we have contact with the ship and he said that the ship hasn't been seized or it is only stopped it is only on hold this is what he said but only the political side that's been the story has another side because presidents act on every seat. vs

a high council representative of a mystery and interior minister affected by 10 days that going out and this wasn't the guy learned that from my sources in ankara and apparently the closing the ties that are getting closer what's bronson egypt between these 2 political figures within the jan they actually. is not welcomed by the church president because in unfair on. there's a perception that. these 2 political figures mean gauge or get closer with ross than in france and egypt and turkey believes that they will be supporting occulus thought against. us i rise in the near future and they expect a possible change in the political stance of those 2 political figures and a bus is possible for ancora and what we understood from foreign minister's statement today that they believe that this attempt by the l.

and they to stop the turkish mercial bessel today is they have the courage from the european union's latest attempt to stop and search the turkish vessel without warning within the school for you know for ration in the eastern mediterranean bet's why the turkish reaction came very harsh by the foreign minister of india how to serious and conceal the reporting out there from istanbul and he thinks iran has approved a bill suspending the u.n. says unrestricted inspections of its nuclear facilities but it didn't happen without controversy from his assad begged 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 what it does show is this left in the country between the reformists who are in power and the conservatives who have the majority in parliament and other 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 add 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 it's estimated 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 a 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'll get a weather update next here on al-jazeera then fighting in ethiopia's to gray region disrupt a vital a just families who are trapped by the conflict. the human cost of the war in afghanistan a new report reveals a staggering rise in the number of civilians killed by a strikes. and later in sports covered 19 cases hit the n.b.a. is the league but as for its new season that story coming up.

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 for the south increasingly northern iraq and the high ground of turkey has advised to be snow so guys are the bottom and the alike have 3 fine days but a cloud that's a small chance for shabbat $21.00 degrees is reasonable enough weather 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 are 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 our 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. jump into the stream and join our global community biodiversity is biosecurity is that essential for our species to survive be part of the debate i know you have ideas 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 dream on out is there. from mother to daughter an ancient craft kept alive by a bustling matriarchy. from start to finish. all traditions intertwined with new designs making this family's place unique into uneasy as a rich tapestry of the threads on a just 0. 0 .

color again adrian for the good here in doha with the news out from al-jazeera the headlines the world's 1st 40 tested coronavirus vaccine is being rolled out in the u.k. 800000 doses of pfizer bio and techs vaccine and out vailable in 70 hospitals elderly people and health workers a big problem size. u.s. health officials have published their 1st details preview of the pfizer bio and tech vaccine partially confirming its effectiveness the preliminary report. says the u.s. president is expected to sign an executive order ensuring that americans get priority vaccines procured by the government. of iran has approved a bill suspending the un's unrestricted inspections of its nuclear facilities it was passed by parliament last week president hassan rouhani who opposes it refused to sign it into the more the speaker of parliament has ordered its implementation in the next 2 weeks. brigs it to go ca sions 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. that's been a sticking point in talks aimed at securing a wider trade deal britain's prime minister boris johnson of the u. commission president a slave on the land will still be seen brussels on wednesday the u.k. has left the european union it has though until december 31st to secure a long term trade deal with european commission vice president motorists suffer a bitch as cautiously welcomed the development clearly created at the moment to be to move to i would say one big obstacle from that way and i hope. we will see the positive results also coming from these. complex negotiations even though we are fully aware. complicated and demanding.

this process it's our system from of zeros 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 that'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 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 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 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 ethiopia's government says that it's still tracing faces from the people's liberation front but it describes as undefeated federal troops captured the region's capital mackell a last week but hundreds of people are still being forced to leave their homes aid agencies say the area is too volatile to distribute humanitarian assistance people a 1000000 people integrate assaults have been displaced under serious mohamad volved reports now from sudan's capital khartoum. lots of reports about the situation been are getting more difficult inside to grace up there are 3 criticisms

leveled against each opie's by international aid agencies and other groups basically that continuous blackout of information coming from site to great. difficulties to get access or to grant access to n.g.o.s bringing aid to people who might be victimized or victims of this conflict or we have this report about about each open army opening fire on one aid convoy that has been confirmed by the beach opiates themselves they said because those convoys did not to adhere to the rules they did not think they want to die or try to go beyond the the line that was drawn for them so that means there are areas that they can't reach and this is subject to criticism by the aid agencies peter mara is the president of the international committee of the red cross he says that the destruction of aid in the to greater region has made the humanitarian crisis even worse. we have seen a 10 security situation over the last weeks emerging we have been spared for the

time being of major security incidents but indeed we have been in. for since the outbreak in 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 l.a. 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 more than 2000 children are among refugees and biker and survived in the canary islands so in the past 2 months save the children says that it's extremely concerned about their physical and mental health but of smith reports from gran canaria it's not much of a red carpet welcome but for this boy it's at least the 1st time he's touched dry land in 5 days you have spent that time in a fishing boat with around 25 other people crossing rough atlantic seas from west africa. the canary island is experiencing the largest wave of migrant and refugee 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 miners in overcrowded conditions to meet in this case.

i. have seen. have seen people dying on board and turning to the. un have experienced. all these years the biggest here is that 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 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 countries. mom shakman bay who runs an aid group that helps african migrants thinks this is why there are more minors making the trip south asian each young 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. in 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 burnet smith al-jazeera gran

canaria. a member of abu dhabi this royal family has bought a 50 percent stake in an israeli football club based on jerusalem shaikh hamad ben khelifa. as also committed to investing more than $92000000.00 over the next 10 years that's despite being the only top club in israel never have signed the palestinian israeli player they also have a group of fans that has life familia which has been openly abusive towards palestinian israelis are a force of reports now from west jerusalem. so this is a big deal financially in terms of the nearly $100000000.00 investment that the new coalition. being khalifa on my own is pledging over the next 10 years it's a big deal politically because this club is very much linked to right wing jewish nationalist politics in this country to the likud party of prime minister benjamin netanyahu who himself on tuesday endorsed this deal saying that it showed how

quickly arab israeli normalization was progressing but above all it's a really big deal in terms of the really toxic culture of racism that has so long attached itself to this club there was an attempt to change that in the early 2000 with the signing of an african muslim player he was hounded out by the hardcore right wing supporters there was another 10 to 2013 to chechen muslim players resigned and there's a mass walkout from the stadium when one of them scored his 1st goal and just last week there was another protest at the training ground with nearly 100 supporters invading the pitch disrupting training and chanting anti arab anti muslim slogans in protest at this very deal there also be protests from the other side of the argument palestinian israelis who are opposed to normalization also saying that this deal is another sign of just how wrong that process is but as for the relatively new owner as of 2018 a cyber currency tycoon he says that this is another way that he wants to try to
