biden selection when the u.s. supreme court dismisses his plea to overturn the pennsylvania results. and i mean it was hawkinson to god's time but today we did find out that's how this once bustling town attracting migrants looking for work has become a major transit point for migrants flying to make it to europe. and sport football players and a powerful message during a champion's league match players from p.s.g. and turkish side the shake share walked off the pitch to gather after an alleged racial incident. but 1st there's a global rush to get corona virus vaccines and campaigners are warning that 9 out of 10 people in the early seventy's countries will not get the job next year the people's vaccine alliance says rich nations are hoarding vaccine supply buying up

and after all says so inoculate their populations several times over well the alliance is a coalition that includes oxfam ants and the c international that canada has enough confirmed doses to inoculate 5 times its population and the option to expand to 6 times it's followed by the u.s. and the u.k. which are both looking to have enough for populations 4 times bigger than they have on the other end of the scale you have countries like lebanon where the government is nearly bankrupt it's only gotten a fax in to ensure the safety of 15 percent of the population and last is bangladesh with just enough vaccine to cover 9 percent of their population that will go out as in a hotter in lebanon shortly but 1st let's head to the philippines where the government there say they have will have to rely on 1000000000 dollar in loans and

private donations to get enough vaccines alan dorgan is in manila jamila what's the situation like there. well the government's initial plan is to inoculate around 60 percent of the country's population within the next 6 months but it also admits under president that of the good that they're doing that the national budget allocated for the vaccine is quite limited so the head of the task force and procuring the vaccines actually say that they're looking at what it calls as a multi-pronged approach which is collaborating with other international organizations and less developed countries like the philippines to be able to acquire more vaccines but you know we've spoken to people who live at the epicenter of this crisis here in the capital manila and they also are quite skeptical whether the vaccine will arrive within the next 6 months or if actually that's going to make a difference in their lives at all. general silver door is

a covert 19th survivor he spent 2 weeks in hospital in a critical condition and he says he spent his life savings a few 100 dollars on medicines he's now without a job and despite reports a vaccine against coronavirus will be available early next year he's not confident his family will get access to them. you know i didn't even get any cash this entire time so i don't even think about seeing this something will get either a yes or no about the children that's all i care about the so the doors live in one of the poorest communities in manila the center of the pandemic in the philippines there are some people here however who don't share juror will specimens him and are hopeful the vaccines will signal a return to normality. didn't belong to the society we the global mentor girls are looking forward to the suboxone hoping will be made

a priority the government aims to vaccinate at least 60 percent of the country's population in order to achieve herd immunity but in an archipelago of more than $7100.00 islands and a national budget that's barely enough even official theory admit it won't be easy for weeks now countries around the world have been trying to secure deals to buy vaccines when they become available wealthier countries are bidding for a huge share of supplies hoping to vaccinate their entire populations but the united nations says 2 thirds of the global populations will not get enough and many countries including the philippines do not have the logistical support to establish an adequate vaccination program they also don't have the capacity to produce their own vaccines officials here say they hope that by taking part in face she trials and joining initiatives. with other less developed countries they may be able to

procure enough dozes the power from climbers the 50 percent that will be dedicated for the government will be given to the p. sectors and particularly our headquarters and our poor and vulnerable communities while if their present to be given to the private sector will also be given to their front line or low income laborers to give fair access in its ability to contain the virus in southeast asia over the past few months the philippines is seen as the worst performing country and many here fear it will also find itself on the bottom of the lists for the vaccine. but meanwhile that's not the only challenge for the philippine government officials health experts also say that it has to strengthen its national immunization program vaccine rates have fallen over the last few years and they call it vaccine hesitancy where many filipinos are afraid to get vaccinated and it's true that in

a day and give vaccine scandal that actually out went public over the last few years so that also led to a rise of communicable diseases like measles and call your so it's a tall order for the philippines 1st to get enough vaccines to inoculate a significant portion of the population get those much needed vaccines you know to be transported to an archipelago of more than 7100 islands and actually convince the public that these vaccines are safe and secure considerable challenges ahead for the filipino government. so much for living that its own dog and joining us from manila let's head across to lebanon where all to syria's seen a hoarder joins us from outside a hospital it would seem in beirut seeing that lebanon has had a terrible year really mean it can't be home for city since many people are struggling to secure food to put on the dining room table what chances there of the

government securing enough vaccines to to protect the population at this awful time . well it has been a difficult fight the battle is not over and even when the vaccine arrive it's not expected to be a quick solution according to doctors there is a community infection the positivity rate is high the number of critically ill patients is high as well and this is one of the main public hospitals in beirut that has been treating coronavirus patients and the public sector really has been the gluck that for decades there it's funded. ill equipped ill equipped and underfunded really up the public sector so they've been struggling and only recently the private hospitals which really have been the backbone of the health sector in this country have started to treat corona virus patients so it's a difficult task and now we're hearing from the health ministry that they managed

to secure 2000000 doses of pfizer vaccine which is enough for 1000000 people and they're hoping they're hoping that it will be 11 on arrive in levanon in february 2 officials who work at the ministry who i've been talking to they're saying that they're ready they have enough centers across the country this is a relatively small country and they feel that they will be able to deal with the logistical challenges and they say that health workers of course the elderly the vulnerable people they will be given priority just like what is happening in other countries across the world but they are saying it will take at least a year or a year and a half before they're able to vaccinate at least 35 percent of the population and it's still not clear who's going to pay for the for the vaccine and in this country where more than 55 percent of the population are now poor because of a very deep economic crisis this is going to be another challenge and the economic

crisis is only worsening by the day more and more people think into poverty so yes a lot of challenges ahead levanon may have secured those those says and they're hoping that it will arrive in february but it's just the beginning on a long road to recovery i can see you know the live for us in beirut thank you let's get more on the snow joining from joining us from nigeria is dr ephraim the for the director of policy and advocacy. health watch he's also a senior fellow for health actually at george washington university is going to have you. on the news we've heard there from correspondents in the philippines in lebanon about some of the challenges government face but one of the challenges arguably for many countries is actually getting their hands on these vaccines themselves what do you make of the news that some richer countries are

hoarding supply and making it even harder for developing countries to help their own people. thank you. it's really disappointing but. yet again because the. bottle edged out of our bag not think. you know it's really mind boggling how do you have you deal with a global pandemic that. you know just on your own country because. it is very simple. a lot more people. died in developing. countries. we make it or it isn't point.

with this fact that this virus no one's protected unless everyone is protected in the middle of a pandemic but some might argue that it's developed countries like for example the united states for the situation really is quite dire even the u.k. which starts its ruling out its vaccination program they've got one of the worst death rates in europe so you could argue that they perhaps need more speakers the more developed countries are worst affected. one of you're absolutely right in terms of the burden of the disease but again going by what you said about the war being as strong as it. could be 19 is concerned simply means that even have to prioritize your country because you have a higher body you should also be concerned about the poor accounts that don't have the kind of funds and the kind of facilities that you have. and to be honest i

haven't said that i think you know poor countries also need to settle for how long can we depend on working our countries to take care of our health. you know to keep funding our our i mean our response system so it's almost like why we tried to teach our countries accountable to ensure that the equity in the distribution of the banks and we also need to hold poorer countries developing countries accountable to say when are we going to stop depending on what their country is in a point in our health and health is also a surge you have to think that is a real problem then do you think countries are becoming too reliant on the the largest humanitarian aid. you're absolutely and let me use my country nigeria as an example to talk to have to spend eternity like this image

said to be about $10000000000.00 every year. some $1700000000.00 of that amount after pocket expenditure of jock $1100000000.00 is do not support so why we see depending on do not a 7 times. 7 times what do not give what is what you could spend out of pocket or how does one bitter so i think it's time for developing countries part of going to begin to look inward to say how what are the opportunities that exist within our own countries that we can use to point to help them become a bit more independent of partner help with them but concerned ok talk a funny insole for great check out yourself thank you so much for joining us staff from a preacher in nigeria. now mexico is set to begin its facts nation program before the end of the year they're going to start with the pfizer by own sac vaccine and health workers and the elder they will be prioritized munnell republican reports now from mexico city of course with one 125000 doses secured health

officials happen now nst phase one of mexico's national vaccination program they say despite initial shortages of the vaccine everyone in the country can expect equal access as supplies permit told us you told us then that an ex is one of the one everyone who will have access to the vaccine every week pretty bad vaccines do not arrive in a single blow that will be cannot be given at the same time talk and some will be prioritized over others such as the most vulnerable and health workers who are at the front lines. the announcement that covert $900.00 vaccinations will begin at the end of december comes at a critical time for mexico in the capital at least 7 hospitals are operating at full capacity and more than a dozen others nearing their limits according to international health observers rescue that is today the city is in a critical situation there this increase in hospital stations and that is why we call on the population to stay at home and go out only if they have to. have.

a head of mexico's busy holiday season authorities have issued guidelines asking people to avoid large gatherings gift exchanges and to postpone their travel plans on christmas and the new year although there is resistance they might get the product if we have to activate the economy i know that there is a lot of fear but really people also need production they need to sell they need to produce we can't just stay home waiting with our arms crossed. even traffic appears to be nearing prepared to make levels as hospitals in the mexican capital continue to fill up so the streets and department stores health policy experts warn people should not be lowered into. a false sense of security just because a vaccine is on the way. to limitations on social gatherings or recommended state and federal authorities have stopped short of influencing any major restrictions many here expect the announcement of a partial walked it could be inevitable before the end of the year when we'll

double al-jazeera mexico city. as thousands of ourselves come on this news hour including $100000000.00 shots in the 1st 100 days. president elect joe biden lays out his covert 1000 battle plan as the u.s. and faction can pass is 15000000. high turnout it's an instant easy as we channel election says doctors warrants costers a covert $1000.00 emerging. and in sports hosts and asian champions qatar will join european qualifying for the 2022 world cup with details coming up later this hour. the u.s. supreme court's has rejected a last ditch attempt by republicans to reverse joe biden's electoral victory in the

battleground state of pennsylvania the same result has been certified in favor of joe biden in a one line statement the supreme court refused to call that certification process into question now this de rails an attempt by donald trump's republican party to have as many as 2 and a half 1000000 votes dismissed well even as the supreme court so the veges ruling against the republican party trump earlier said he's hopeful that he'll remain president. we were rewarded with a victory dallas 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 thomas gifts is the director of the sense of on us politics that university coalition london and joins

us now from for to discuss this in more detail is kids have you with us on the mystic gave so much wrong hands being kind saying on the supreme court which is stacked with conservative justices to overturn this free and fair democratic election now that they have to climb to do so would you say president trump is always have options. well i do think that the pennsylvania result really does close the door on the last of trump's major legal battles there are still some minor cases winding their way through various courts but they're extremely far fetched ultimately the decision by the supreme court was quite anti-climactic with just a one line order saying that the application for injunctive relief had been rejected there were no dissents and that was that trump has been saying for weeks as you suggested that the supreme court would ultimately decide the election so i said got his formal answer of course by all indications trump still doesn't have any intention of conceding to keep trying its case in the court of public opinion

which has been somewhat successful in creating skepticism among republican voters about the veracity of the election results but from a procedural standpoint trumpet's really exhausted all of his main legal options. that if the supreme court's thinks this case is without merit where do you think this leaves the republicans who have been many of them have been noticeably silent on this refusing to recognize joe biden's weigh in if the supreme court says decided the selection as people appeared said will they not come on board. well i still think it might take some time one challenge as you suggest broadly with biden as being poor and with the transition is that so many republicans on capitol hill have been reluctant to interact with him as president elect so that has delayed some of the conversations with congress that he'd otherwise like to have at the moment but i still think that donald trump is such an immensely popular

figure within the republican party he still holds so much pull that a lot of republicans are still going to be very reluctant at this point to back away from him and to acknowledge the other election results it might take until january 20th until many republicans in washington actually say ok it seems like joe biden believes the president but the for people who are looking at this from the outside i mean this seems like a fairly ridiculous situation that the courts of weights in and the courts have said this was a free and fair election there was no interference however the republicans justifying this this continuing to throw this at lection which is over a month ago it's a good thing it's a slow incident it seems baffling to see observers who see us democracy is that as the most overhyped things a supposed to be. i think you're absolutely right but i think in large part this is republican politicians telling republican voters what they want to hear and so if

you look at the polls there's still a huge number of republicans who voted for donald trump who believe his claims about this being a rigged election and so politicians not wanting to upset their base they have been very reluctant to push back against donald trump but it's becoming more and more difficult to justify that case as you suggest simply because all evidence that we've seen is that there just is no widespread crowds that this is all his or mine in the election is it now what it sounds or mining it will undermine joe biden's legitimacy i mean just in a why it's a sense how much pressure do you think u.s. democracy is under here and do you think the u.s. institutions are going to be able to withstand this pressure going forward. well i think one point to note is that the electoral process really worked as intended by most accounts this was the most secure election in american history and the steps that have taken place after election night unfolded as they should states had to

count in an unprecedented number of mail in ballots which took time that occurred trying to have every right to ask for recounts which also took time those occurred he then had his legal arguments heard in the courts the judiciary resolved them on the facts ruling in virtually every case that trumps claims were baseless so it has been a quick process and i totally agree with you that donald trump continuing to contest the legitimacy of the election will strain american democracy but i do think that there's an upside to this which is that some of the process broadly has taken his claims debunk them and so i think it's encouraging that we've seen the procedure of how this is supposed to get worked out generally operate in a way that we would expect and hope ok telescope to at a time unfortunately the great to get your thoughts and the alice's thomas gif there joining us from oxford thank you. bank. british prime minister boris johnson is expected to meet the heads of the european commission later on wednesday to try

and reach a last minute compromise on a future trades and relationship with the new negotiators have been unable to agree on a number of key issues let's get more now from the fark or he joins me live from dining street in london a knave it appears that negotiate isn't done all they can was the expectation of a political solution here when boris johnson meets or some of underline. there are an awful awful lot of unanswered questions ahead of this all important meeting boris johnson leaves here number 10 downing street in about an hour of course this time he'll go 1st to prime minister's questions of parliament before later on in the day taking a flight over to brussels for that all important dinner dates with the head of the european commission ursula von the lion and we don't entirely know what boris johnson's game plan is but if he is successful it means that there will be a resumption of negotiations with the view of course to having a trade deal signed and sealed by the end of the year but we've said this many many

times before time of course is running out this is what's known as a mixed agreement meaning that every single state in the european union needs to ratify a european commission does the ground work it's backed by the european parliament but then of course it filters down to every single government because every single government could potentially be affected by this we know that some big progress was made on cheese day when it came to a separate deal over how trading would continue between the northern ireland and the republic of ireland going forward we're going to hear some details about that a bit later on things to do with how goods crossing the border will be checked and what kind of paperwork will be needed now that that's out of the way many see that as being a major obstacle that is being pushed. aside paving the way now for all sides to focus on getting this trade deal signed and sealed but the old sticking points

haven't gone away very briefly the fishing business competition rules and how of course all of this will be enforced next year. certainly this enormously complicated as you've pointed out and time is running so what should we be looking out for in the hours and days to come. well i wouldn't i wouldn't rule out it going right down to the wire i mean what we've got about 2 weeks left now and as i said insurmountable problems but some positive suggestions that when it comes to fishing for instance an agreement may be on the cards we heard from duncan smith a prominent pro breck's an m.p. a former leader of the conservative party who's been speaking this morning who said that he believes that a trade deal is pretty much ready it's waiting by the sidelines but the main issue at the moment is the issue of sovereignty the extent to which the european union's legal instruments its courts for instance will continue to have

a role in setting rules and adjudicating over potential disputes between the u.k. and the e.u. post breaks it suffer t. is a major issue according to ian duncan smith read war voters they are voters in the north of england who used to vote for the opposition labor party switched their allegiance to the conservatives because they believed that conservatives could get the job done is those voters that the government really want to try and police ok neve parker there joining us live from dying straight me thank you very much indeed . and the spanish government started returning home people have arrived in the canary islands and 22000 people reached the islands this year over 8000 arrivals recorded in the vendor alone nicholas hoult reports from the village of. senegal's tumbled on their region. do so had never seen the ocean before
