but before then one interesting thing is that hundreds even thousands of supporters of the main opposition the national democratic congress turned up at the election headquarters they attempted to go in the tools of security forces from the army and riot police blocked them and kept them but right now they are right behind me over there trying to make us much noise as they can this side they accuse the election commission as well as the ruling party of collusion to read them out of the presidency as well as the parliament they insisted they had won the parliament with a landslide and there's also the believe that they can form the new government however like you said in the introduction the ruling party had already you noticed that he's winning this election so what we are waiting now is for the outlier to

tell the world who exactly won the gun as presidential elections as well as the elections into the parliament of the republic of gonna last monday or i will bring the results as soon as we get them in the meantime. what sparked the post election violence that we've seen since the polls closed. well even before the election in the run up to this election we've seen how tension has been rising between the main opposition party the n.p.c. as well as and the ruling party the and p.p. of president. saudi president. so they have been trading accuse ations especially the opposition party saying that the way they register was conducted was fraudulent and they also insisted that they want to use this to important arrangements for the elections which they're much in commission by the

way denied and said that it has given all political parties equal access to all its for races then on voting day we heard the independent study the opposition candidate. many of their supporters and people to assess their names on the register i heard the election commission a short while ago saying that nobody was estimated on the register who i'm listing the achievements of the commission in conducting that election there were also cases that people were trying to stuff the ballot box in favor of the ruling party which the election commission of course did not then last night we so 2 opposing sides that ruling party and the main opposition party in some abridge 3 modes both claiming to one the presidential election and in fact all of them are saying that they have outright majority in parliament this was disputed by the election commission which said that is also still coming in when these parties were going

about some of bridging their victories in the presidential and parliamentary elections so what the right now in the next few minutes we probably will settle this matter we're going to hear from the election commission who exactly won the presidential election and who controls the parliament hopefully we'll be able to bring you the official results of the election within the address reporting live from across many thanks indeed. but corona virus infections and deaths are rising worldwide with more than more countries going through a deadly a 2nd wave germany has recorded its highest daily death toll since the pandemic began with nearly 600 fatalities that's prompted chancellor angela merkel to call for tougher restrictions nationwide turkey has also seen its coronavirus deaths hit a record high with at least 217 people dying in just 24 hours latin america is one of the hardest hit regions with just 8 percent of the world's population and 30

percent of corona virus deaths brazil is reporting the highest number of infections in the region and mexico is seeing a surge of new cases along its northern border with the u.s. across live to mexico city in a moment but 1st let's go to charlie angela the rounds of developments in europe where infection rates are rising in many countries despite nearly imposed restrictions. britain's rollout of the pfizer biotech vaccine continues but advice on who can take it is changing after 2 people with a history of severe allergy suffered reactions both recovered quickly but the agency who approved the vaccine is making revisions last evening we were looking at 2 case reports of allergic reactions we know from the very extensive clinical trials that this wasn't a feature which if we need to strengthen our advice now that we've had this experience in the vulnerable populations the groups who've been selected as

a priority we get that advice to the field immediately. britain's mass vaccination program already poses one of the think it fled just tickle challenges since world war 2 but scientists warn that vaccines alone will not change the course of the pandemic immediately and face masks which help prevent the transmission of code it should be worn for another year i want to be very clear for the next 3 months we will not have sufficient protection we're going through the most difficult time of year for research infections and the most difficult time of year for the n.h.s. so the idea we can suddenly stop now because the vaccines here it would be really premature. used to in germany where infection rates continue to rise despite restrictions and isn't tenths of care was reached capacity many are calling for even tougher knock down measures wednesday's german death toll of 590 was the highest since the pandemic began sparking an impassioned plea from chancellor

angela merkel is very one sided and they have to come i know it's a feeling i want to say this if we have too much contact over christmas and afterwards it turns out that that was the last christmas with the grandparents then we will have really messed up and we should not mess up. in front to the numbers are not encouraging new infection standard around $13000.00 per day down to my. acidly on a month ago but still $8000.00 more than the target president the money will not call said in order to release the country from lockdown restrictions despite the vaccine the arrival all $3.00 countries fear a 3rd wave of corona virus could hit when hospitals are at their most vulnerable charlie and there let's go live to mexico city al jazeera is that tell us more about the challenges facing various latin american countries and mexico in getting the virus distributed that. and certainly in latin america arguably is the worst

hit region in the world when it comes to infections certain places are more critical than others we mention this. exponential rise in both cases and deaths in recent weeks here in mexico there is fears of a 2nd wave in panama the recent hurricanes in central america have exacerbated the covert 1000 health emergency in both honduras and in guatemala but international health officials from the pan american health organization were aspecific lee about the male ability of the vaccine specifically in low income countries looking at certain countries in latin america and dr teresa at the end she is the director of she said that she's confident that the framework that exists this program that exists that guarantees representation of all member states in the on the american continent representation to have equity when it comes to access of the covert 19 vaccine but she also recognizes that there will be less limitations she recognizes

that certain countries mexico included countries like the united states canada chee lay in south america have bilateral agreements with vaccine manufacturers in the case of mexico it was announced just on tuesday morning that 125000 doses of the pfizer vaccine have been secured they're going to be forming part of the 1st wave or the 1st phase rather of inoculations here in the country but even that is something that's going to take a long time starting at the end of december in some cases countries are going to have to rely on donations and solidarity from the international community to reach that goal of of 20 percent of population inoculation which makes up the 1st phase of the vaccination programs but this is a major key we heard from international health experts who say that in order to effectively interrupt transmission of the virus 70 percent of the population needs to be inoculated and some health experts estimate. that it could be well into 2023

before some people begin to receive their backseats al-jazeera reporting live from mexico city manuel many thanks indeed breaking news on this here we told you a few moments ago that we get straight back to accra as soon as the election results in ghana has a new president and it's the old president the incumbent is the one of his ear as i would address can tell us more on that. yeah a few minutes ago or 49 i was off to the last but not. to the incumbent president of ghana has been declared winner of the 2020 presidential election and when that announcement was made remember earlier this evening hundreds of. the opposition supporters here trying to access the election commission but was prevented by riot

police the military who are lined up on the street right now the college has started thinning out there was a drop silence when the election commission. announced the winner was in fact the incumbent president. now we understand that president will be addressing the country on the supporters in a victory speech we wait to any moment from now and we're yet to hear any reaction so far from the opposition however we've known from the start that they have alleged that this election was rigged in favor of the incumbent president with the collusion of the election commission however the election commission has denied that it has done anything wrong and in fact it said this is one of the most credible and fed us elections it has conducted the ruling party and on the on since yesterday has been an all saying that it has won this election with

a wide margin what we want to hear now is who controls the parliament and this announcement will be coming in the next few hours or so already all preparations have been concluded to announce the winners of the parliamentary seats right now the presidency has been decided we all were looking to what the opposition will think or say are they going to court to challenge the elections a will be congratulate president. on the terrace reporting live from accra that he thinks did on that. this is the you saw from al jazeera still to come on the program rich nations are accused of hoarding covert 19 vaccines leaving poor countries to miss out. but why this former england rugby player plans to take legal action against the sport in santa will be here with a little later in the program. canada

has become the latest country to approve the pfizer madonna corona virus vaccine after regulators that deemed it safe and effective earlier british public health officials issued an advisory to people with a history of serious allergies not to take the vaccine. the warning comes after 2 frontline health workers suffered serious allergic reactions to the job it is of course the pfizer bio enteric corona virus vaccine there is a global rush to get corona virus vaccines and campaign as a warning that 9 in 10 people in nearly 70 poor nations won't get the jab next year the people as frank seen alliance as the rich nations a hoarding vaccines buying up enough doses to inoculate the population several times of the alliance is a coalition that includes oxfam and amnesty international canada has enough confirmed though says to inoculate 5 times its population and the option to expand to 6 times that followed by the u.s. and the u.k.

which are both looking to have enough pot before population is 4 times bigger than they actually have at the other end of the scale though there are countries like lebanon where the government is nearly bankrupt it's only got enough to vaccinate 15 percent of its population and last has bangladesh just enough to cover 9 percent. and speak to john ghandi who is in new york he's the chief marketing. chief of marketing shaping and supply financing at the united nations children's fund supply division that's quite a trifle joe welcome good to have you with us am i right in thinking that despite talking about these big nations buying up and hoarding covert 19 vaccines it's unicef that is the world's biggest buyer of vaccines that's right and so. is the largest buyer of vaccines by by part of the. clovelly we're able to do that in part because of the funding that part misliked upbeat

about seen alliance provides. about the. high income countries so we're very happy to be able to use both those expertise and capacity to support the effort to roll out future covert that seems all right so where are the vaccines that you buying up where are they going to be used who's going to getting them. so we're really happy to be using that those expertise to support the covert vaccine access facility kovacs that was mentioned earlier in the segment. and so the kovacs facility itself. has managed to sign up around 100 almost 190 countries and economies and as your correspondent mentioned in the 1st face to secure enough doses ideally back to make the 1st 20 percent of the populations in those countries and economies which which translates into the front line health

care workers elderly populations and those with co-morbidities in essence those are risk of exposure mortality so that's the focus in the 1st instance you know especially very happy to be. leading that effort with the pan american health organization to secure those doses at least for the poorest 90 to 100 countries what do you make of the fact the u.s. sensually are all competing against against big countries for vaccines that will save lives the world of. yeah i mean the best way to ensure that vaccines become available equity is is to ensure that no country is really pushed to the back of the line and it's really that principle that underpins the kovacs facility and so what we need now to make sure that that principle this becomes a reality is to see global commitment and that means both capitalizing the facility

with the remaining funds that are necessary to buy the vaccines to cover those populations i mentioned but also to finance the liberty of vaccines which is something that the unicef the leading as well as to cover the costs of the other supplies such as sort reindeers and fridges safety boxes personal protective equipment they're all going to be necessary to ultimately use these vaccines and ensure protection but this race this this competition surely that can't be a good thing and it that in a general sense i mean provide some context in a general sense of competition in a market as it is a good thing of course it ensures that there is more more suppliers more demand to lower prices and and so the covert facility where the aims to take advantage and harness that competition. no doubt you know with the right tools in place. which

includes the financing the game really of the kovacs facility is to ensure that the equitable distribution really good sort eugène many thanks to you for being with us gandhi that maybe you. pressure is mounting on the u.k. and the european union to reach a trade deal britain's transitional period with the bloc ends in 3 weeks time prime minister johnson has landed in brussels for intensive talks with the e.u. commission president live on the land that in baba reports from london. that's. heading for brussels for crisis talks but giving nothing away earlier the british prime minister told parliament he was prepared to reject a trade deal with the european union if the terms weren't right whether the new arrangements resemble those of australia's with the e.u. or whether they like those of canada with the e.u. i have absolutely no doubt that from january the 1st this country is going to

prosper mightily mr. johnson is meeting ocilla vonda lion president of the european commission over dinner but it's simply to gauge appetite for compromise something needed to break the impasse if nothing emerges the chances of a no deal scenario on the 1st of january look great so the german chancellor insists that the use ready for that she says the area where the 2 sides are furthest apart is how to ensure fair competition in the midst of a level playing field nationals your plate we need a level playing field and not just for today but for tomorrow and the next day we need agreements on how each side can react when the other side changes its legal parameters otherwise it will result in unfair competition and we won't let this happen to our businesses. differences over what access e.u. fishing fleets have to u.k. waters are seen as more solvable the other sticking point has been how to enforce any trade deal this week a u.k. e.u. joint committee agreed specific arrangements for northern ireland including

managing the border with island now the u.k. has dropped legislation that would break international law but the committee's co-chair says level playing field demands remain a big problem the prime minister is being clear. that we're going to maintain high standards in this country but we're also going to be a sovereign country and that we need to be in control of our own rules and regulations our laws and ways of doing things e.u. leaders are holding their own summit on thursday and friday if there is no resolution tonight i think we will have more calls from evenly decides to step up the narrative preparations but at the same time the e.u. will not walk away from these negotiations they will try to negotiate until the very end until the actual deadline which is the said the 1st of december and no deal breck's it is what many businesses in britain and the youth fear most incredibly nobody truly knows whether that's what they'll get in a few weeks time knitting barber al jazeera. in

a moment we'll speak with sania gago who is in london but 1st let's talk to paul brennan in brussels paul what's the mood music there tonight of the 2 leaders going to be able to salvage something out of their late night talks. it's pretty pessimistic i have to say the irish foreign minister simon kovi said failure is a distinct possibility here and of the 2 options you know you've this dinner will not result in a deal that's for sure what it could do is open up the opportunity for that political impetus to be put into new negotiations by the 2 respective negotiating teams alternatively the 2 leaders could come to the conclusion that the political differences are simply too great and that the possibility of bridging those gaps is unbridgeable and in that case we were into a stock sort of no deal scenario. the sticking points essentially i think on this level playing field and there is i mean i know this that i've been speaking to the

last 48 hours say that there are possibilities for compromise depending on how wide the e.u. decides to make the level playing field for example state aid you can see how the e.u. would be absolutely adamant that there needs to be a level playing field with the u.k. on the matter of state aid you know putting public money into private companies that said perhaps that could be compromised over things like environmental standards or or labor conditions. from the u.k. point of view you've also got to look at the possibility of how absolute they want the solvency to be you know if they want to be in the u.k. sort of the european union market clearly they're going to accept some european union rules you know they can't just say well we want to do what we want to do that's wouldn't be acceptable it's whole in an international scenario so there are compromises that are necessary on both sides and the difficult thing is whether either of these 2 political leaders given the stakeholders that are pressuring them from outside boris johnson his euro skeptics in parliament live on the lay and the

french and the germans who are pressuring him not to concede too much and jeopardize the european union single markets whether these 2 leaders meeting here this evening have the capacity to find those compromises and i pulled many thanks let's go to london then sort of a go is that paul was saying we hear a lot about sovereignty from the british side what is it that the u.k. wants. well certainly sovereignty is that issue here and shortly after the prime minister made those comments in the house of commons his spokesperson did on the line that whole issue saying that in no way the prime minister is prepared to accept a deal that is going to affect the ability for the united kingdom to control its laws and control its waters and this is the key thing is the fact that sovereignty was really made such a key issue during the whole campaign during the whole past 4 and a half years that has brought it down to this moment to this moment which is going

to be running out in about 3 weeks time where the u.k. leaves the transition period so really in that time they are going to have they really need to get the whole ideas of of state subsidies a bout level playing field as paul mentioned there as well also of course fishing fishing was such a crucial central target of the whole campaign even though it's only worth about 0 point one percent of the british economy but it was this whole idea that the british water should be 1st available for british fisherman not for european ones as well and that the u.k. wants to have control of being able to sort of change laws the european union is worried of course that this could mean that deregulation would cause a huge problem for the single market which is the secret of the european union

itself shania gago reporting live from london sunday many thanks did so well what would be some of the major outcomes if the so-called no deal scenario that is a trade deal isn't reached by the end of the year both sides would default to world trade organization rules at least when trading with each other tariffs would be imposed on goods going it either direction affecting hundreds of billions of dollars. with a trade deal scenario could reduce britain's economic output by some 2 percent that could drive up inflation and unemployment according to the u.k. government itself. it's fear that a sudden default tariffs could cause a customs border bottleneck disrupting supply chains analysts fear that could cause shortages in food and medicines and raise prices that speak to the writer who is the director of the center for briggs it studies at birmingham city university way focuses on regional economic development and labor market is shoes good to have you with us alex so here we are at crunch point although we thought we'd reached crown

point a crunch point several times in the past. we've heard so much about britain holding all the cards the e.u. being desperate to do a deal with the u.k. to what extent is. all this missed the. idea of sovereignty of independence come crashing up against reality. well yes it is i mean the notion that boris johnson and marco good financial for us but for them for any 16 britain could have all the benefits of membership not after weren't getting the rules was was for the station and then it's really being you know charming and stuff and found that mal you've been very consistent all along if you want a certain level of market access you have to abide by certain rules so here we are now with the key issue becomes that of the so-called little playing field and committees to speculate chicago yellin for that should they have any new regulatory

developments that the u.k. did if it wants a trade agreement must keep in lockstep with those developments. progress it is a course that's an athame anything that smacks of continued regulatory appearance to brussels strictures is the on the pile for them and johnson course is working that part right now to see with every gets in the middle room to accommodate their own beliefs while still kept talented yes ok l.z. any deal that boris johnson manages to walk away with to scrape through with the e.u. would be pretty thin anyway would there be any difference as far as the british consumer is concerned between a deal and no deal. well there will be somebody in paramount of course a deal itself but on offer a free trade agreement with 0 tariff and 0 quit is essential goods will still legally unfair trade barriers in place so the british consumers are going to face reality of what you said they go through customs declaration fill the stands in fact a sanity check for animal on buying products security checks and so on these things

are going to result in significant bottlenecks and just the cost of customs compliance a lot and will cost bridge business at least. you know that's that far from a dividend that was going to pay for brandon 50000000 pounds a week for the n.h.s. said johnson likely come back in 2630 you know the shipping about on customs infrastructure and varies but in terms of many deal of course the key difference between the of america will be the imposition of the tariffs and quotas ritchie and depending on the projects that could result in terraces isapi 60 percent if you look at things like chains on base and other areas that can hit the british consumer if we have the other or to british which is equally agriculture and the other is a concern of course is manufactured in terms of society hence they are in chief it is our quarterback we are in a low deal with us. and i need a brief answer from that if you can do you optimistic or pessimistic of the chances of of the 2 leaders thrashing out a deal to live well and

a deal is not on the line to give me an pessimistic for the simple reason for a social prioritize the politics of pressure there with the economic realities alex always good to talk to you many thanks. one of the leading members of the palestinian liberation organization had on the way has submitted her resignation there's growing speculation about her reasons for leaving bus in an official letter she says that it's to allow for the renewal of palestinian leadership from he was the highest ranking female politician in the palestinian authority and the p.l.o. executive since 200-9020 abraham reports from ramallah. she said that she's met with president mahmoud abbas on the 24th of november and she told him that she's going to be resigning and followed that up with a written resignation the next day she says that the president has referred to her as a nation to the palestinian central council this is the council that has reappointed

to this position of being a p.l.o. executive committee member in 2018 but in harris statement she says that this is resignation wasn't supposed to be announced but it has been leaked to the media and we've heard some arab media has been referring to some sources telling them that she indeed did resign and in the statement she sent today she says while i appreciate and respect the president's position for my resignation and consider it to be in effect allow me to quote another. item of her statement which is important for us to understand probably the reasoning behind her designation she says it's time to carry out that acquired reform and activate the p.l.o. in a manner that restores its standing and rule and that could be also linked to the issue of saw a better death he was a senior palestinian official the p.l.o.

secretary general and he has been responsible for the negotiations mandate in the p.l.o. and it seems like there has been some sort of a disagreement on who's going to be taking that position after a pause that could be one of the reasons why ashrawi has resigned. we'll get a weather update next year on the news out then the u.s. supreme court makes a ruling on donald trump's latest attempts to overturn the results of the presidential election. and then in sports we'll tell you why this football star just became $10000.00 poorer. ally once again it's quite down i see now across the middle east after last week's rather disturbed weather still some but some places the cloud around the turkey for the black sea over towards the caspian sea you might just catch

fact that there were millions of mail in ballots that mostly favored joe biden that were counted days after the election taking away his lead never latest tweet from the u.s. president says if somebody cheated in the election which the democrats did why wouldn't the election be immediately overturned how can a country be run like this this is something that the. terms lawyers are taking to the courts with reference to that case out of taxes the attorney general they're asking for the invalidation based on these arguments of motes in 4 states that biden won pennsylvania georgia michigan and wisconsin the argument from donald trump's lawyers is that if there is not widespread fraud that the states need to prove it take a listen. this is going to have to respond to. that's the depth of the paper the legal arguments that have been asserted for these various motions and

the states have to file a response by tomorrow at 3 o'clock i expect to have significant action on this case i mean it's already significant action but i mean didn't possibly determine it action. could be as early as friday. now donald trump tweeted about this case saying that this is the big one in other words that he's pinning his hopes on a 2nd term debt pending the outcome of this case he says the country needs a victory but again given the track or heard of the trumpet ministration the fact that it has more than 50 failed cases it is downtimes campaign that is seeking a victory right now on 0 as white house correspondent kelly how could reporting live from washington can many things if the o.p.'s prime minister ahmed is shifting his focus from war to the economy is in all the way to the highway on the kenyan border alongside president of hoto kenyatta the 2 leaders both highlighted the

president elect joe biden is announcing his choice for defense secretary if approved for todd general lloyd austin will be the 1st african-american to fill the role but having recently retired he'll need a waiver from congress let's just listen in for all of us deeply held belief in the values of america's alliances and he is just as committed as i am to rebuild and modernize you know his alliance from the asia pacific to europe and around the world through sheer determination extraordinary skill he's been breaking down barriers and blazing a trail forward in this nation for many years now for more than 40 years and he has a long way to go and he's going to do it again and so today i'm honored to nominate former general lloyd austin as a 28 secretary of defense. i want to thank you gen your friend but i want to thank you general austin for once more stepping forward to serve your nation is not

a. post he sought but i saw it here and i want to thank you and your family for once again sharing all right so that's happening right now in wilmington delaware is. castro. listening into that so we knew this was going to happen who he was going to nominate but it's not necessarily a done deal issue it is it. no it's not and there is an additional hurdle in this case of general lloyd austin in that he has been retired from his military command for just 4 years and there is a law in the united states that one has to be out of the military for at least 7 before becoming part of the military top brass took control of the department and

this is course goes back to the country's founding and the principle that the military should be civilian controlled so as we just heard president joe biden speaking of austin as well as many who have served with austin and former secretaries of defense have all come come out to endorse this selection calling him a man of integrity who has shown his battle grit both on the combat field and in the diplomacy room we know of course that he was the former commander of u.s. central command overseeing troops in the middle east and so he was also overseeing that pivotal time when american troops were withdrawing from iraq which working with then vice president joe biden austin one the vice president's approval and respect leading today to this nomination of austin as potentially the next secretary of defense for the u. . wes as you said if austin is confirmed he would be the 1st black american to

leave this position which is also notable given that more than 40 percent of u.s. military forces in the u.s. are minorities as well. as how does your castro woman's and the web thanks heidi just ahead here for team time european champions trail madrid avoid an embarrassing group stage exit so i will be able to the details next.

the highest ranks if you like even politically because the turkish president had one reacted on tuesday evening he also added his thoughts saying that there was no place for racism in football he even went as far as to say that perhaps it was france's fault the this was happening to put that into context the turkish president has long been at loggerheads with the french president about all micro over a number of disputes things like libya and syria but certainly nothing to do with football football usually. that are to live from paris thank you very much just a quick update on that match from the p.s.u. are actually leading 4 nil now against but there of turkey now it's a crucial night for 13 time european champions real madrid victory over bruce morton glad that we're guarantees in addition to dance man plays in the last 16 and to face shots are in the other group the match with all 4 teams in contention to
