authorization from the f.d.a. and we're pushing on the heart that which point we will immediately begin mass distribution before operation warp speed the typical time frame for development that approval has you know. could be infinity and we were very very happy that we were able to get things done at a level that nobody has ever seen before representatives from pfizer and the donor companies are waiting if the approval would not be present at the meeting we submit strip ports that the transport ministration declined to take up an option with pfizer for an extra $100000000.00 doses earlier this year confirmed by a former f.d.a. commissioner who's now on pfizer's board i think they're betting that more than one vaccine is going to get off the rising they'll be more vaccines on the market and that perhaps could be why they didn't take up that additional $100000000.00 option agreement which really one of required necessarily even to front money it was just

an agreement that they would purchase those vaccines president trump signed an executive order aimed at preventing the export of vaccines from the u.s. before all americans have been treated an order that would appear to be an impossible given the international contracts both pfizer and mcdonough have signed . another figure absent from the white house meeting with the country's foremost infections diseases expert dr anthony fauci help us had another engagement. with the president to lead. us to advise i look forward to advising you on these most urgent priorities and to work with this team of world class experts whom i have known for many years and deeply respect i have been through many public health crises before but this is the toughest one we have ever faced as a nation dr fox she was on the high powered advisory team introduced by joe biden

this team will help get at the latest at the last 100000000 covert 19 vaccine at least 100000000 covert vaccine shots into the arms of the american people in the 1st 100 days 100000000 shots in the 1st 100 days all eyes now on the food and drug administration which is likely to complete its review of the application for merchants to use authorization by the end of the week mike hanna al-jazeera washington and campaigners are warning that 9 out of 10 people in nearly 70 poor countries will not get the vaccine next year the peoples vaccine alliance says rich nations are hoarding vaccines buying up enough doses to inoculate their population several times over the alliance's a coalition that includes oxfam and amnesty international talk to us and jaya sen and i act as an associate professor for infectious diseases at the australian national university he says governments are within their rights to look out for

their own people but vaccine hoarding won't help anyone. i don't think we should be surprised and i think there's a bit of this going both ways in terms of the fact that yeah look at government's 1st responsibility is to its nation and in fact if you do look at some of the richest nations in the world they're the ones who are having enormous problems because over the bar of the u.s. is having over 200000 cases a days it's 7 day rolling average regularly having 2000 deaths per day the u.k. is. similarly dark situation which is why they're rolling out their vaccine program so quickly so a lot of these rich countries actually do need to do something and the population expects sit all of that however as part of the global community which is on 41 reason why code that spread so we clean globally through tourism and

training etc we have a responsibility to look after our fellow nations in the world and as i said because of traded tourism business center the rich countries to make sure that covert does get stamped out and controlled in the world. health measures have been enforced at polling stations across indonesia as tens of millions of people voted in regional elections and denise has the worst cover in 1000 outbreak in southeast asia with more than 580000 recorded cases and 18000 deaths doctors are worried a large voter turnout will make matters worse the elections had already been delayed once just how washington is in south tank iran you're in jakarta. the local elections would normally be a logistical challenge involving millions of boat has let alone during the pandemic when there are of course safety considerations as well now at this polling booth in

south tongue we can see that authorities are trying to take precautions they got sanitize a mosque compulsory and are also temperature at. as well but despite these precautions they re still concern from doctors that a huge voter turnout could lead to a spike in infection indonesia has been hit hard by the covered 900 pandemic with at least 800000 deaths but despite that authority said the elections had to go ahead apart from the health consideration political analysts are also keenly observing these regional elections because there are some key candidates including the president's son. the us supreme court has rejected a last ditch attempt by republicans to reverse joe biden's electoral victory in the battleground state of pennsylvania so the state's results has not been certified in favor of biden and in a one line statement these supreme court refused to call the certification process and to question it derails an attempt by donald trump's republican party to have as

many as 2 and a half 1000000 votes dismissed for hours before the ruling donald trump spoke of how he's hopeful he can stay on as president again falsely claiming he won november's election. we were rewarded with a victory down let's see whether or not somebody has the courage whether it's a legislature or legislate sure's or whether it's a justice of the supreme court or a number of justices of the supreme court let's see if they have the courage to do what everybody in this country knows is right well joining us from birmingham is scott lucas he's the co-founder of america unfiltered that's a news analysis site on u.s. politics and foreign policy thanks for your time with us on al-jazeera so trump and his team defeated in that supreme court decision on pennsylvania is it over or can donald trump try and fight this does he have another viable path forward. even if donald trump doesn't realize that it's over i thought this would go on all the way

to january 20th and indeed before the election donald trump said i will take this to the supreme court and i will have them throw out these mail in ballots but that one line rejection from the court which didn't even bother to discuss the merits or lack of merits of the truck camp's lawsuit but simply said look we're not intervening on your behalf that shuts the door on it there's still one more look for a lawsuit which was filed bizarrely by the texas attorney general yesterday to try to delay the electoral college vote next monday that's the formal certification of joe biden's victory texas is saying oh oral action was legitimate but go look at georgia wisconsin pennsylvania arizona expect the u.s. supreme court to give that short shrift as well and yes joe biden will be the 46 crossing of the united states even adulterant continues to shell out with no evidence stolen election yeah i'm glad you brought up texas because that's what i wanted to ask you about in fact i mean you know that this was a big setback as you're saying but did you expect that even one of his supreme

court nominee is would support this. i think it would have been different if there are 2 things that happened one is if the election had actually been closer and in fact to defeat was the 3rd largest defeat for an incumbent president in u.s. history dusted 230 years secondly i think if there had been any basis for any of the truck lawsuits and they now have lost 49 of 50 lawsuits if there had been any basis that even one state had a suspect election process that would have given the u.s. supreme court something to try to decide but there was no evidence of fraud anywhere in what the homeland security department called the most secure election in u.s. history and so without any basis to make a ruling even trumps appointees such as any county barrett has got no basis to go in and overturn the election what about the party members themselves i mean how long can republicans continue to sort of support these legal battles because we see

most of them are either silent on what's going on or when they continue to support trump so will they put an end to this before biden this sworn in. how long term codependent relationship last of them i think privately republicans a republican legislators like the last of us realize that joe biden was elected president but there are 2 things in play here the 1st is is that donald trump commands a lot of support among republican voters and he will run in 2024 for the presidency 54 percent of those republican said they will support him in the most recent poll and so a lot of legislators will tie themselves to the trumpets secondly the most important republican the senate majority leader mitch mcconnell has pledged to make life difficult for the biden ministration he may see it useful to continue to link himself to try to create havoc and block biden rather than trying to you know try to find some bipartisan way of dealing with issues like the coronavirus point i'm

alright scott lucas thank you for your time thanks for joining us from birmingham thank you. now south korea's national assembly is set to vote on whether to ban people from sending anti north korean material across the border so defectors and other activists have been flying leaflets inside balloons this angered north korea's leaders who earlier this year threatened to send soldiers into the demilitarized zone south korea's main opposition party says it will do everything it can to slow the legislation saying that it silences free speech coming up but we'll have a check of the weather and then this why the philippines finds itself at the bottom of the list for a coronavirus vaccine and why a mining giant is being told to pay compensation to indigenous people in australia .
