a rise in inequality due to the pandemic one leading charity says the lender of last resort is still dishing out loans that require countries to hack back at public services. commerce before politics despite u.s. and european opposition germany pushes ahead with a gas pipeline that cement its dependence on russia but also increases germany's dominance over the rest of europe. on a country's finances are in a mess and the lender of last resort needs to step in a bailout comes with conditions mostly draconian austerity measures but governments have also been known to implement them for ideological reasons the international monetary fund has recognized that maybe austerity is not the best course of action and it can in fact make matters worse with bad damage the i.m.f. now says governments should spend spend spend. and not worry about the finances until a recovery is embedded some would say the death of austerity should not be mourned why well let's take a look at

a few case studies from recent history under the i.m.f. european central bank and european union bail out greece had to take an axe to public spending the people of greece paid a heavy price seeing an increase in child mortality is health care spending with slashed from almost 10 percent to 2008 to 8 percent in 2017 the troika had wanted spending to fall to 6 percent the unemployment rate remains shockingly high it 17 percent last year and the country has yet to pay off its debts 21 i.m.f. administered bailouts have done little to spark team is economy into life for the past 3 years the economy has been in recession and the pandemic will take another huge bite out of the country economy minister martin boozman has blamed the i.m.f. austerity measures for the credit crisis but argentina has managed to convince creditors to restructure $65000000000.00 of debt and is now in talks with the i.m.f. about its 40 $4000000000.00 loan and after $141000000000.00 pounds bailout of the

banks in 20082 years later prisons then finance minister george osborne introduced austerity measures to reduce the budget deficit the result was debt almost doubled to $1.00 trillion dollars growth was anemic and the economy was $130000000000.00 smaller a decade later more than $4000000.00 children that's one in 4 lived in poverty and more than 1000000 people were forced to use food banks. now there is a caveat the end of austerity is mainly for advanced economies her control of their own currencies and can raise money and the i.m.f. believe such countries should be able to stabilize their finances by the middle of the decade well joining me now via skype from london is phillip blond a political thing can and you can theologian and director of the think tank publica thank you for your time great to talk to you this is interesting advice isn't it from the i.m.f. the advice to spend to save lives and to keep the economy going but that is

a huge change in contrast from the financial crisis in 2008 isn't it yeah it reminds me of john ruskin's who's very strange most. critical. of the aren't you so great and he said there is no where out lines. i think that's true. the fundamental right of all the economy if you will is to allow life to flourish but if there is no there is no way out then what is the last hurrah your father's. choice is really saying the calling the old saying lives have the wealth the country. thanks protect our economy all those that have best protected human life so when they need to come to asia bold it's not just a bill or

a factory and countries like china japan south korea i well come from that was in the intro. with our return of the great bonus brand by well the good side what i'm striking from the i.m.f. is always to understand. the. 5 whole developing. that should this you are saturday as a response to the carotid artery that seems like a nice sensible is. the say and really what i think they should be doing and i suspect they all sankey creating problems to allow to call if we need to spend as well because it's. investing is. creating the conditions for the people to stay not down with just the current.

preventing viral spread that we say. save the economy is something we're going to talk to the interim director of oxfam international about a little later in the program but i want to come back to this advice for advanced economies at least to spend spend spend this is just mean that we're going to see an increase in debt and deficits which just 12 months ago would have been think about. well you know there are different ways you i think create stat mole if you are you'll get a cut of a process all along the supply chain so you can just contract chronic pain should call the fish if that truck things thing that say by you'll you'll back. seeing creasing if you're the fabless to. confirm that and i think birds spending route is

a good instructor so essentially keep things afloat because essentially to cultivate already the states of gravity is how i think about bringing back not destroying the dome and the experiences on. the station to supply chains because essentially man stefansson probably means have safety that so and that's they support people in jobs through expending that have to support people and to free the welfare system we know from over the mountains rather that. people find it very very hard the longer they're in drought francis's the farms back into the labor market back evaporating called life support so that there's enough business cooperatives to bounce back as quickly as you found and i think i think back really imperative but if you offend your population should

the laboratory are employed with sobriety that's essentially diminishes the possibility for recovery further down the road so we think in this sense i think your actually spending money for a grand race is that nate let's talk about the u.k. for a minute it was also introduced austerity for what critics been made with purely ideological reasons. to sort of shrink the state and cut public services now a decade on you know the number of people using food banks has risen to 1200000 according to the trussell trust i mean so what does that say is it just the vulnerable then who suffer what's interesting in developed this reference rate it's the only popular trunk shall we say is. this prevents them instead of in the west and well for the past sort of. a sane sweeping alliances. in

the developed world. how the rising cost in the developing world so if you do a distribution of. whose benefits of marriage in the last. it's it's there is in the way i think class it is about i think they settle on the same people are not actually the working classes in the west and haven't really benefited from global brands that soul and the balance of the many during times of stack and so forth so what they send me is we introduce a sterile and into a system where these people are highly vulnerable anyway after the only thing security is going with the theme of lies and you know you can tell the americans aren't not as a. people are not stable the poor that all i'm back create the. conditions for puppets and i think the short sellers for the day to my all in

the show actually it was very attractive because it priced in the british that. very last time so we didn't pass anything like races. that or so on the sample but it went on too long it was articulate on the academic idea the old school ad and the data states and the local state so all councils and all. public service ers same say they come to find they didn't have the bassman in them to enable them so it's that which i think is the shame by the writing of virus crisis spaces to attenuate that we'll have to leave it there thank you so much for your time there for the phone we appreciate it thank you. now while the i.m.f. says countries do not need to introduce austerity measures or any kind of belt

tightening according to oxfam the majority of the loans extended by the lender during the pandemic will require some cuts to public spending and that could force some countries to cut public health care pensions and jobs such as doctors and teaches over madrid vera joins me now via skype jim a is the interim executive director for oxfam international we really appreciate your time this things unfair right if you're an advanced economy and you're already doing ok you can spend spend spend the i.m.f. says it will be fine but if you're already struggling belt tightening will come and things could get worse. it will not work it will not work for the people i mean overseas or just found that 84 percent of the 91 they and their colleagues 1000 loans and polish and in some cases you don't require countries to a lot top 70 measures in aftermath of the health crisis is a takes at least $767.00 lower middle income countries from the u.s.

to $25.00 or 70 measures could include cuts to public services including wage freezes cast of public sector workers like doctors and nurses it includes increases in value of the taxes which apply to every day to look seeing food households to supervise and fall disproportionately on women and the poorest parts of the population thinking human terms i mean just when people think they can brief us or . somebody they could be losing their access to health care for themselves or their children or using income support having over the last jobs so it doesn't work for the poor people for the most vulnerable people and for the poorest countries and the i.m.f. itself has been warning of rising inequality has been warning. of rising poverty but many countries are dependent on international investors for money right i mean how does that work now he's $2.00 sides off there of of the going not only on the one side it seems like the if the i.m.f.

just 2 faces research and sometimes the executive. that director are saying the right things or 2 countries doing in terms of what they should be doing today i mean the n.f.l. is saying a stand stand stand it has been calling for an inclusive real recall sounded the alarm bells on inequality peaking and saying that and then he was saying it i mean the i.m.f. has strong research about that and yours awful stary we find we we command these these sort of research and analyses but then comes the unethical practices and as you say i mean countries need money and they need even more money now because of their often their inks and the consequence and so when it comes to the county by county practices we are seeing that loans i mean is so far away from their works and the i.m.f. is very influential if they want to commission more requests into those laws and

they would be how they asked soon we begin to see the end of all of that underneath it will exacerbate they now find the across the world and who as we pay that price we have to see different ways i mean we have to honor this research on the consequences of the conclusions that you cause and we definitely countries need money now where should it come it should come from that cancellation during the pandemic prime's there is still too many countries that are paying more into debt service than what for example we are spending in health care it has come from 8th revenge bent of a commitments to their open seat 0.7 percent of the of the g.d.p. that is 50 years now of it and it's not there except for a few countries and the i.m.f. could do more i mean they could go further and block and block these way they harvest of issuing a special drawing rights form of global currency that can be pumped into the global

economy in times of of me because i don't need now. i'm equally sure even 33 trillion of the special drawing rights which all i am a member countries will be able to access without having to repay so there are ways of all 'd doing it that are not longs we conditions ok so that is what you think the i.m.f. could do what about the international community what about the private sector what should it be doing you know seeing in that signing if if you think about generally speaking about the international community they should be agreeing and going further in debt cancellation that is aeschines they have done something but is not close to what should be should be done because they should include also there from or buying control from other movie that there are creditors and they should include also private sector i mean it's really outrageous that now precisely in incoming

times i am but i did lenders have not been brought into any kind of these g. 20 deals for that cancellation as most of the governments have done so who are countries are continuing to repay their debts to reach banks and hedge funds even now. so you have this situation where some of the world's richest and biggest creditors and fortunes on their shareholders are cashing checks when people in their distressed countries are lacking the basic public services health care right now is seriously ill should mean counseling all that pavement all rich countries will institutions but also for private creditors like ok i've got time for one more i just want to bring this back to the reality of what this all means for people who are already struggling for life and fanaa of lee hoods right because people are going to be impacted by this. i mean all of our research also also

shows how you got anyone 64 countries countries including kenya or pakistan or somewhere where they were already spending more of on repayments than in health care because the before the pandemic hit them or a part of our research to find how far it's only 22 for her stand of the global war it for us who has any kind of social protection in such as sick leave or unemployment. protection even if it doesn't change the full. economic system and the writing is now taxed wages what we will be seeing is that vidis we are thinking that even 500000000 people could go into poverty because of the pandemic and its consequences it will even be worse so it has it it

needs a full shift if we are thinking about the most liberal of our most impact that by the pandemic that such those that are not only using lives but their livelihoods to ok will have lived there thank you so much for your time that instead of there there the interim executive director for oxfam international we appreciate it thanks to you. now can you dealing commercial deals from politics well that's what germany is hoping to do with the controversial nord stream pipeline that will bring in gas from russia to europe's biggest economy that's despite the latest sanctions from the united states that take aim at russian pipe playing vessel academic skate which is attempting to complete the last 147 kilometers of construction but the net has already said it won't bow to u.s. pressure not to go ahead with the project despite making it more dependent on russia for the supply of energy which washington believes is

a security threat even the poisoning of russian opposition leader alexina valley which many thought may be a reason for bill and to give up on the project has been brushed aside some of germany's own neighbors have imposed their own sanctions poland find russia's state controlled gas giant gazprom 6500000000 euros for going ahead with the construction of the nord stream to pipeline without securing its approval. which running me now via skype from berlin is europe for big york is a senior fellow and director for central and eastern europe at the german marshall fund of the united states really good to talk to you so the u.s. keeps imposing sanctions poland has issued its own penalties i mean is there anything that would make the change its mind when it comes to russia being such a great energy. i think we have to step back a little bit on this question because if you see the situation from germany. from

the perspective of the german government and also german business then russia and previously soviet union have always been very reliable and that in part going back almost half a century or so from that since germany is proceeding very rationally and pursuing a very strong energy partnership with with russia what the german debate's tends to fade out however is that russia also moves this energy as a political weapon against its neighbors accounts other partners and this is a point that is typically underestimated here in germany for as long as. the country and its debates decouples economic and energy questions from those political and security questions relating to russia. this this decision to go for a strong partnership with russia is not going to be not going to be of our so unfortunately what today and this is what i struggle to understand is that the pipeline will be

on the used to mean the existing pipeline has huge capacity which is already on the you so what's this about is this about geopolitical troop well this is really in the 1st place geo political tool that russia voice you know the pipeline capacity that is in place is fully sufficient to provide europe with russian natural gas supplies to. in russia over the last years have been relatively flat and there's no expectation that there would be a massive growth in all humans so what we really have here is a diversification by russia off its pipeline network the creation of redundancies that would then make it possible to shift volumes from one pipeline to another wherever russia wants to put pressure on specific transport transit countries such as ukraine so this is really a strategy of they were supplying and expanding pipeline capacity in order to be

able to use it for political pressure in the future there were some outside of germany who thought that the poisoning of opposition leader alexina valley may 4th the chancellor angela merkel to change her thinking on this what is her calculation here do you think. there really was debates that started. in the summer here in germany whether or not in response to the poisoning of alec saying that our new best should be a priest a poor perhaps even a council ational to pipeline project there seemed to be quite some momentum there were many senior policymakers including from chancellor merkel's party who demand that this would be the appropriate response and even the chancellor at some stage herself seemed to indicate that this is not only a commercial project as she has maintained for many years but also one that has a strong pull its for that now unfortunately this concession has not going to bomb

the need for either the momentum seems to have seems to fade in the meantime and there is no indication at this stage that. the chancellor and her government. would take measures against those projects what i can really only do is speculate here why this is why this is the case in my opinion germany is acting responsibly unilaterally in this context that basically rhetorical always stresses has to be a european approach to energy policy to energy security but when it comes to this particular project germany is clearly acting unilaterally and very selfishly selfishly in my opinion unfortunately bats impression is not has not gone away and it's not being revised by and by the german government any time soon 18 countries 18 european countries have opposed this project it's only going as far as

saying this increases germany's power in europe doesn't it well it does in the way because it shows that a large and influential country like germany does get away with unilateral decisions even their gallants a overwhelming majority of the partners who are opposed to this project. plus a number of countries like ukraine that point themselves outside of the bar but are very close european partners at the same time i think that this project is also one that would obviously put germany into a much stronger position as and the jihad in europe. would put that in a different and. competitive position than europeans energy market so there are there are a number of aspects that will increase german german power and influence here at the same time what is popular in the minds of. amongst europeans this project has

a very stark divide between germany and especially central and eastern european partners in the european union and beyond and it will be very hard to mend these. divides in the years to come if germany does not change its. on this controversial project ok thank you so much for your perspective your analysis from berlin europe for a quick thank you. and that is that show for this week to get in touch with us by tweeting me at camperdown and do you use the hash tag a j c d c when you do or drop us an e-mail to the concert al jazeera dot net is an hour and yes but there's more for you on line it down to 0 dot com slash t.t.c. that will take you straight to a page which has individual reports links and entire episodes for you catch up. and that is it for this edition of counting because some came down from home team thanks for joining us news on al-jazeera is next.

announced they might help force the change of venue for the announcement from the international conference center to the election commission headquarters because of their presence there but again what they expected at the end did not happen the other candidate was declared the winner and there was in fact a pin drop silence when the name of. and then of course for idol was pronounced by the election commission chairperson and then shortly after the huge crowd thinned out and then disappeared but not before one of the supporters told us that they will not accept this result and they will fight against it how they were going to do that he didn't say a lot of people now are watching to see what watching to hear and see what president former president john muhammad would say in his address is due to address the nation according to his supporters and handlers are very shortly. on to other news and u.s. president elect joe biden has officially introduced his choice for defense

secretary it is retired army general lloyd austin the nominee to lead the pentagon joint biden in wilmington delaware if confirmed lloyd austin would make history as the 1st african secretary of defense his nomination has already been opposed by some democrats biden's son hunter also says he's under federal investigation for his tax affairs hunter biden says prosecutors in the u.s. attorney's office in delaware told him they're conducting the probe he says he takes it very seriously and is confident a professional and objective review will demonstrate his taxes were handed handled i should say legally and appropriately we're going to talk about that defense secretary appointment though with mark jacobson who's a former adviser to former us secretary of defense casa is also the assistant dean at syracuse university joining us from washington mark thank you for your time do appreciate it so the history making aspect of the potentially history making aspect

of this the fact that they could be the 1st african-american secretary of defense now we know joe biden's promised a very diverse cabinet but how much would this appointment mean. well this shouldn't be lost on anyone that it is historic to have the 1st african-american secretary of defense in fact it is his comments earlier today retired general lloyd austin mentioned the 1st black kid debt at the u.s. military academy henry flipper and you know this just shows you how far this nation has gone from the reconstruction era over a century ago to today where the low from the littlest kid that now to this potentially the secretary of defense yeah it would be tremendous and yet of course there is always going to be controversy with well any appointment probably but let's talk through some of that and i wonder if you can explain to me into our international audience the importance of civilian leadership at the sec at the

department of defense now as i understand it the rules are that you need to be a civilian for 7 years you need to be out of active service for 7 years and that's not the case here why is that 7 year gap considered so important. well of the founding of the department of defense congress put in this a requirement that no serving officer who had come off of active duty recently the 7 year timeline could serve as the secretary in and the reasons for this there are multiple reasons for this but at the heart of it is that the secretary of defense is the only other person other than the president who can authorize the use of military power whether it's a small air strike or even nuclear war and the concern was that the nervousness about giving the military too much power simply changing someone out of uniform to a suit but you'd still have the military having that ultimate control over decisions of whether to go toward peace which is really anathema to what the us constitution set up and to what american culture is about and the concern today

even though there have been some notable exceptions back in 1050 general george marshall who had been secretary of state becoming secretary of defense and then of course were recently retired general james mattis even though there's been except exceptions the worry is that. that generals have a particular mindset and socialization from these decades in the military they don't look at problems like a civilian it's not about commanding troops it's also about dealing with the policy the politics and this is a political job and that's the other concern if the generals and admirals and the military troops start to think that it's important to show favoritism to one party or the other to get the secretary of defense job later on then it really is going to cause a problem in terms of politicization of the military if you want the military to be political we see all over the world what happens when the military starts to interfere politics and the outcome is usually not good you mentioned general mattis

there who didn't get the waiver that was required do you expect us. to austin to get this. you know this is been the gnostic ating in washington d.c. today will generally get the waiver or not my gut tells me that he will eventually get the waiver but i think there's a legitimate heir you know who did win arguments i mention against it the idea being an exception once every 65 years is one thing but the worry is breaking down the norm now so it's a you know a standard thing for a general to be consider and that will really erode this idea of civilian control of the military i think that the maddest situation is the martial situation were really truly unique times where the u.s. was in great danger but now ironically president biden this or or president elect biden is set to bring the country back to some state of normalcy and there are a lot of people who would like to see him hold to that norm of the department of

defense great perspective there from up jake and some former adviser to former u.s. secretary defense ash carter thank you mark we appreciate it. well the trump campaign meanwhile pinning its hopes on a lawsuit filed by the u.s. state of texas and backed by 17 other states to overturn the presidential election results which favored joe biden donald trump's describe this case as quote the big one it also the supreme court to throw out the voting results from 4 battleground states arguing that the expansion of mail in voting was illegal some law experts are calling this case unconstitutional trumps lawyer however expects a response by the end of the week. the u.s. senate has defeated an effort to block trump's plans to sell reproduce rowan's and f. $35.00 fighter jets to the u.a.e. the senate's been voting on whether to stop the $23000000000.00 weapons deal earlier president trumpet issued a formal threats to veto any congressional efforts to block his plans senators had

said the sale was rushed and threaten to start an arms race in the region it was a sale approved by trump as a side deal to the u.a.e. normalization agreement with israel more on this from mike hanna in washington. well the president informed congress a month ago that he was going to proceed with this deal and many senators deeply concerned about the nature of the deal particularly the sale of the f. $35.00 that mary because most advanced fighter aircraft and a bipartisan group of senators then drew up a series of revolution resolutions 4 of them in an attempt to block the sale but it was always even those senators who had drawn up the resolutions were not expecting much to come out of it it was more a sign of displeasure with president trump in particular for what amounts to a circumvention of congregational oversight in this particular sale now the vote has just been held in the senate and as expected it was defeated the resolution

concerning f. $35.00 for example was $47.00 votes in favor of blocking the sale $49.00 votes against now the debt the width of this vote may seem very narrow however they would have required a 2 thirds majority on the vote to avoid a presidential veto president trump making very clear that he would have imposed to be told should these resolutions have been passed in the senate but once again it was more a symbolic vote in the senate expressing dismay about the fact that the president is circumventing congress and removing congressional oversight on the question of arms sales there were particular concerns among senators particularly the possibility that the u.a.e. may be using the circuit meant the drones and the f. 35 in their war in yemen also concerns about disrupting the balance of power in the middle east so very many concerns expressed but at the end of the day the sale is

now going to go ahead. britain's boris johnson and the european commission president nurse evangelion have agreed to a sunday deadline for a firm decision on briggs a trade talks and comments come after a make or break dinner where they both agreed there remain quote very large gaps between them and 22 days left now in the e.u.'s chief breaks that negotiator has warned the possibility or probability of a no deal is increasing before leaving for brussels johnson said there was still a deal to be done but the e.u. was pushing trade terms that no prime minister could accept facebook is being sued in the united states accused of illegally trying to buy our rivals and stifle competition the u.s. government and $46.00 states accuse the social media giant of breaking antitrust law and abusing market power they are asking the court to even consider breaking up the company which also owns instagram and whatsapp facebook says it's reviewing the complaints but those deals under scrutiny had already been approved by regulators

army general lloyd austin who could become the 1st african-american in the job. and the u.s. senate's defeated an effort to block donald trump's plan to sail reaper drones and if they are the 5 fighter jets to the u.a.e. the senate's been voting on whether to stop the 23000000000 dollar weapons deal which was approved by don't trump as a side deal to the u.s. normalization agreement with israel. a coronavirus update for you now on the number of infections around the world is soaring as well as the rush to get hold of emerging. vaccines however there are now concerns that less well off countries are being left behind campaigners from the people's vaccine alliance say wealthier nations afforded enough vaccines to inoculate their populations 3 times over and they're saying excuse me actually only one in 10 people in 70 low income countries will actually be able to get vaccinated next year some countries have other obstacles as well to overcome for example iran worst affected nation in the middle

east is facing difficulties getting hold of vaccines president hassan rouhani is blaming this on the u.s. led sanctions. and our people should know that what ever we want to do when we want to import medicine or import equipment or vaccines we have to curse trump a 100 times as he has created so many problems in annoyances a simple job that would normally be done with a phone call a message or swift transaction takes weeks or months to complete and the whole country has to work together to transfer money from one place to the other just to buy medicine in the bunch of spending their last days of this sinister teenie at the white house our vets work it more on this from us of being in teheran and said some countries and companies are simply afraid of the repercussions of doing business with iran. earlier in the year iran did apply to the international monetary fund for a $5000000000.00 loan to help them tackle the covert pandemic now that was rejected and iran blamed the united states could be that sometimes countries and companies

are afraid to do business with iran because of those sanctions even if they are not directly impacted in the year iran purchased a flu vaccine from france and that was held up in spain we believe in the health minister said that consignment was stopped by the united states so they actually blamed in ited states for stopping that flu vaccine getting to iran now iran did hit 1000000 kroner virus infections earlier this month is the worst hit country in the middle east but officials here say that they are working on their own covert vaccine and if trials are successful they hope to roll that out in early early summer 2021 british scientists meanwhile so people with a history of significant allergic reactions shouldn't get the pfizer vaccine which is now being administered in the u.k. this was after 2 people who got the job suffered adverse effects from china angela . 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 but if we need to strengthen our advice now that we've had this experience in the vulnerable populations the groups have been selected as a priority we get that advice to the field immediately. britain's mass vaccination program already poses one of the figures logistical challenges since world war 2 that 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

risk 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. he's too in germany where infection rates continue to rise despite restrictions and as intensive care ward speech 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 and not encouraging new infection stand it around 13000. day down dramatically on a month ago but still $8000.00 more than the target president emanuel not cross

said in order to release the country from lockdown restrictions despite the backing of the rival all 3 countries fear of 3rd wave occurring a virus could hit when hospitals are at the most vulnerable child out of there the number of americans infected with corona virus every day is now past 200000 for the 1st time deaths of also so to an average of more than $2200.00 a day a figure not seen since april health experts say the crisis is all but certain to get worse over christmas despite that a vaccine still appears to be days away from final approval in the u.s. president elect joe biden's promise to provide 100000000 vaccines in his 1st 100 days in office. if you have his prime minister is trying to shift his focus away from ongoing fighting in the north despite growing concerns from the united nations i may have made open to cross border highway with the kenyan president who kenyatta the visit is centered on the economy but both leaders stressed the importance of

security in the region the u.n. says fighting in ethiopia has taken a region is becoming worrying and volatile and declared victory in that conflict last month just like the infrastructure we should work on peace is a key to this. because this is the foundation for everything we have aspiring to transform the life of our people if we could eliminate. an oil live from this region you can see how this people can be transformed it into one family one country one people with with great joy and cooperation. however the u.n. human rights chief michelle bachelet says the crisis integrates ongoing and she is increasingly concerned about civilian casualties this is

a question of is. i think it's really warring umbrella tile and i has as i had warned it's spiraling out of control with our calling impact on civilians now argentina's congress is diversion on whether to legalize abortion if the bill passes it will become the 1st major country in latin america to allow the procedure which is only been used in cases of rape or if the mother's life was at risk this report from to write about in point of cyrus. the legalization of abortion has been a demand by women's rights groups in argentina for years. many many cup professionals agree dr asada reyna who works in this hospital in the city of la plata says thousands of abortions are already happening in atlanta steinway and women with complications and up here before but i think this is a matter of public health because when we have a high death rate of productive women of mothers because many of the women that

have an abortion have children and they may die this is also about inequality because a woman with money can have a safe abortion but a woman without resources may lose her life. it is estimated that around 500000 abortions happen every year in argentina but maisel proles tall one of the drugs doctors prescribe to terminate a pregnancy is expensive so many women resort to crude desperate measures like inserting probes in their bodies to induce an abortion for profit that we can provide here patients arrive here with organ failure and the characteristics of a septic abortion heart and kidney failure and in shock they're very serious cases and with a high death rate every year thousands of women are often allowed because of complications with an abortion some of them their lives doctors working in this hospital i love that one women are all here they're afraid to say that they tried

to make their pregnancy because it is illegal and they're afraid of being reported to the police. argentina's congress is set to vote on the legalization of abortion it's a divisive issue in this mostly catholic country in 2018 the bill passed the lower house but failed to pass the senate women's groups are hoping this year the outcome would be different if it ended up not down on the president of the nation alberta fernandez sent a bill that corresponds to his campaign at present lawmakers are taking their positions and hopefully we can finish 2021 with legalized abortion and that is secure and free in argentina. but resistance to the bill runs deep pope francis is argentinean and has repeatedly opposed any attempts to legalize abortion. this is a campaign promise by alberta for 9 this so it shouldn't surprise the church's hierarchy or the pope with whom the government has

a good relationship the church will go against this like they did with the same sex marriage the catholic church has been against divorce reproductive rights distribution of contraceptives and sex education the mostly conservative sectors see women as objects and not as people with rights. rights that women in argentina i hoping will soon be frying into no. one aside is. one of the leading members of the palestinian liberation organization the p.l.o. one of the shrubbery has resigned and there is growing speculation about her reasons for leaving but in an official letter she says it's to allow for the renewal of palestinian leadership. was the highest ranking female politician in the palestinian authority and a p.r. executive since 2009 that ever happens in ramallah for us and says that from his

resignation had been prearranged in november. 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 ashrawi to this position of being a p.l.o. executive committee member in 2018 but in harris statement she says that this resignation wasn't supposed to be announced but it has been leaked to the media and we've heard some 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 reaffirm 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. funding there's been a multi-million dollar test launched by the u.s. aerospace company space x. and it's ended not so well. yeah so it's a 16 story unmanned rocket called starship and

a launch successfully goes but it was meant to land back on the concrete pad for reuse. when it crashed it was hoped this prototype would be a proof of concept for a rocket which could take people to the moon and eventually on to mars like company space x. didn't seem to faze however they ended their broadcast. after the crash with a message at the bottom of the screen all some tests congrats to ship. you with al-jazeera these are the headlines at half past the hour again as president has won a 2nd term in a vote overshadowed by post-election violence at least 5 people have been killed and 61 incidents of violence have been reported since monday's presidential and parliamentary vote president non-o. coup father won with 51 percent of the ballots. now is the time

for each and every one of us irrespective of our political affiliation to unite. join hand stand shoulder to shoulder and work hard to place ghana where she deserves to be a prosperous and dynamic member of the global community making our own unique contribution to the growth of well civilizers. joe biden's son hunter says federal prosecutors have told him he's under investigation over his tax affairs the news came as the u.s. president elect officially introduced his choice for defense secretary they retired army general lloyd austin who could become the 1st african-american in the job the trump campaign meanwhile pinning its hopes on a lawsuit filed in texas all by texas and backed by 17 other states to overturn the presidential election results which favor joe biden donald trump has described this

case as the big one asking the supreme court to throw out the voting results from 4 battleground states the u.s. senate's defeated an effort to block donald trump's plan to sell reaper drones and f. $35.00 fighter jets to the u.a.e. the senate had been voting on whether to stop the $23000000000.00 weapons agreement a sale approved by donald trump as a side deal to the u.a.e. normalisation agreement with israel british prime minister barak's johnson and the european commission president never agreed to a sunday deadline for a firm decision on trade talks that comes after a make or break dinner where they both agreed there remain very large gaps between them with only $22.00 days left the chief breaks that negotiators warn the probability of no deal is increasing. those are the headlines the bottom line with steve clemons is next.

hi i'm steve clements and i have a question with the end of the donald trump presidency is america 1st dead let's get to the bottom line. back when donald trump was campaigning for president 5 years ago millions of americans clicked into his america 1st talk when he kept talking about how the united states was getting a raw deal from the rest of the world they got it many felt like they had fought the cold war they made sacrifices and china had won but preselect joe biden in contrast is not an america 1st or he says he wants to get back to traditional multi-lateralism and give big hugs to the un and the world health organization the deputy oh and those paris climate accords but there are some critics of president trump who say he wasn't talking about america 1st at all he was talking about trump

1st and one of those famous critics who is neither a big believer in multilateral foreign policy nor trump 1st foreign policy is our guest today for decades john bolton has been on the world stage working for republican administrations and he was trump's national security adviser for more than a year trump tried to quassia the publication of ambassador bolton the book the room where it happened a white house memoir and best of all thank you so much for joining us today what i want my viewers to get a sense of is the code the scaffolding the infrastructure of what john bolton american foreign policy would look like and donald trump has talked a lot about america 1st in my book you're the america 1st guy what are the key elements of that as you see it. well i think and in trump's mind he didn't really have a particular picture he had themes and notions that he thought would be politically popular and he followed through on some of them i mean my view of american foreign

policy. in in broad principles hasn't changed in many years i would call it reaganite i would call it a belief in peace through strength i would say it rests on a very strong america that acts as a deterrence to hostile actions by others but it's an america that believes that the best way to protect american society at home and to increase liberty and prosperity yours have to have a strong international presence around the world and that goes in both directions you can't have that strong american presence without a strong domestic economy and a vibrant side and you cannot hold way from the rest of the world you cannot drift back into isolationism but by the same token you can't delegate responsibility for protecting america to others if we're not capable of doing it ourselves nobody else

is going to do it for us what is your northstar in that when you deal with such an unpredictable president that you were serving like donald trump. well it's a very good question because i think i don't think we succeeded very well i think. a president to be successful in the international sphere in particular has to have focus and concentration as to lay out what the objectives are that he seeks so that is support and it's clearly understand what his priorities are and then is willing to apply him self and do the work necessary to carry through on i have to say as an example that barack obama and george w. bush to take 2 very different presidents both worked hard and doing the job and that enabled their subordinates at the top levels and all the way down to be able to follow through whether you like the policies or not methodologically i

thank that they were they committed to doing the work it was necessary to to make sure that their policies could be achieved trump had none of that and it it may seem completely counter-intuitive but he didn't really fully understand and i don't think that the state understands what it means to be president that obviously makes it hard if not impossible to pursue policies affectedly and it was a constant issue for all of us even when for example i might be disagreeing with jim madison or mike on teo i don't think we had a very different view of the difficulty of a president who didn't really pay attention. thank you that one of the things that you've been very animated on over the years is iran and and very critical of the obama administration the j c p o a negotiating iran and now just today i mean there was a washington post piece that came out said there's 12 times the nuclear material

that that could lead to iran being have the capacity to create a couple of war has i guess what i'm trying to fix is i know your views on iran and its leadership would there have been any kind of deal with that regime that you would have been satisfied were for or are there ways to take that kind of deal like i think president trump was interested in and get something that your part of the foreign policy universe could live with. well i'll just speak personally i don't see that the regime in tehran has is capable of engaging in behavior across the wide range of activity that we would need to have confidence that it would lead to a peaceful and secure middle east because it's not just the nuclear ballistic missile program senate fact leaving aside the merits or demerits of the 2050 deal part of the problem is the deal itself provided iran with the wherewithal to

increase its terrorist activity and support for terrorist activity and its conventional military activities around the region guss increasing the threat particular due to those in the neighborhood i think that that this is this is a good example of a regime that's so fundamentally opposed to the kinds of logics that we see in are able to deal with in the war traditional adversaries that the only recourse i think ultimately for us to be safe is a different kind of regime in iran and what's striking and what i think will confront the by the administration with a real problem is that within the region itself i think that view is now more and more widely shared even by traditional allies or adversaries like israel and the gulf arab states and i think this very different strategic arrangement in the region is going to make it harder for the biden illustration to recreate a j c p o

a 2.0 even if that's what they still want to do you know one time when president trump went to south korea i think it was his 1st trip i was up at 3 in the morning watching his speech that he was giving from a u.s. military base there and it was all very good it was you know we had reading from the teleprompter until he got to the end and he began riffing on on this space that he could have built the base cheaper or he could have built it under budget and the base wasn't really for america's security anyway. it was only for korea and with that moment you could tell that he had undermined the entire reason for going in the eyes of many of the sort of strategic class around him which was to communicate that south korea's and that asian security was wedged into american security and i knew you were there at that moment but this is this is so much a part of donald trump which i know you must not agree with which is withdrawing from alliances kicking a lot allies in the teeth on a lot of things i just love to get you that was all very clear before you became

his national security advisor did you not see these things about him. well i certainly heard that and many other things that he said that i disagreed with before i went in but i believe that inevitably the weight of the responsibilities of the presidency if the gravity of the issues that the president has to a deal with would would affect trump the same way they did every other american president and i turned out to be wrong about that he never realized the gravity of the issues he was dealing with and in many ways my book is the story of how i was wrong and that assessment but i also didn't really think that he was so transactional that he could look at alliances and say at the end ever every year you're going to total up your assets and your liabilities and you know if i dissent or 31st they're not exactly equal maybe the alliance is over i strongly believe

that the u.s. allies across the board can do more to participate do more in terms of spending another effort to to pull their weight and our alliance structure that the nato allies agreed to spend 2 percent of gross domestic product on the fence by 2024 many of them are close to it and aren't going to make it i think that's a real problem and i think it hurts in the domestic american circles when we can say our allies really are sharing their fair share of the bird but i see this as a problem in having a weakening effect on the alliance which i would like to see stronger as trump in this totally transactional way of his i think would would not shed a tear if nato disappeared if you told forces out of south career japan and just generally reduced america's presence in the world now thank goodness we're not going to find out whether my fears are correct here he did lose the election that is to me as clear as can be and we will have

a wide ministration which which doesn't make me happy either but at least we're not going to risk further damage to the alliance structures around the world that we have because it trumps. look i know you're not a fan of joe biden but i mean when you wrote your book and you had the tussle with the administration i think i tweeted something along the way i said you know john bolton may in fact be the reason why dollar trump loses eventually you have a lot of followers you once thought about running for president you have a lot of people that follow your brand of foreign policy and national security and so you know when you lose by a little everything is the reason do you think you in part contributed to president trump's defeat sure why not take credit for it i don't see how it's occurred to me not i did i did write the book in part for for people to read and make up their minds when you. when you have the opportunity to serve as i did and see the problems that attracted ministration creates if you don't tell your contemporaries i think you're doing it disservice but i did write the book just because it has my

opinions or judgments and i really wrote it to try and be as factual as accurate as i could for others to read it and draw their own few clues and it'll be there for the historians too but but mostly it's for american citizens to say this really what we want in a presidency. ok if i if i had one school of foreign policy thought that i sort of thought that i was part of it's a kind of nix only and realist call i believe in talking to troubling difficult thugs around the world because they're important and they help govern things but donald trump took it too you know as you called it you know being buddies with autocrats being buddies with kim jong un vladimir putin even with our trouble with china was easing paying in this and i guess you know as you got to know him with one line in the book that really surprised me is that you said you never asked donald trump what he thought about vladimir putin because you were almost afraid of what he might say so i guess my question is what do you think in your time spent

with president trump you know explains why he has so much disdain for almost all democratic leaders except perhaps abbay and japan but that he really runs towards and once to be counted amongst these autocrats. well you know there are a lot of series on that i'm not a shrink myself i'll leave leave those theories to the others i think he's drawn to the autocrats because in the trump world they look like when are. you know they're not constantly harassed by aids and allies and their options aren't limited they sort of do what they want to do if you're glad i'm here to and you know like somebody there are ways to deal with them and in russia as there are in china whereas democratic leaders are inherently more restrained or constrained i guess would be a better way to say it's a trap obviously wishes he were not constrained that's why what we've gone through since the election has been so trying for many obvious that he just does not

understand that the interest of donald trump do not overcome the constitution and these other technicalities so i think it says he wants to be a winner that's clear you don't want to be a loser he sees the autocrats as being more in the category of winners you know which is which is generally true right up in time until the time they're overthrown by popular revolutions which comment many of these countries no doubt. you see that president trump is out that joe biden will be coming in president trump doesn't seem to be giving up yet but i guess in the aftermath of this i know you have a super pac you've supported a lot of members for both the house and the senate if i may they they range from you know sort of moderate dealmakers pragmatist to hardliners on various issues in the party are you going to try to come back into the republican party to restore health to it bring it back into you know what john bolton at least thinks it ought

to be or are you going to step away from this until donald trump is far away. well i'm afraid he's never going to go far away i think that's part of the problem for the republican party what i've tried to do or the years is focus on. republicans who believe in a strong american foreign policy had been less concerned about their views on domestic issues but i think now it's very clear that the republican party needs to have a real conversation about what it wants to be in the post try bear now part of our problem is we can't seem to get to the post trump area but i will certainly do what i can to attempt to move that along might my preference really is to go back to a reagan i do it's a belief in a essentially a free society domestically as free as we can make it. liberating the people for their own creative activities whatever they may be a very strong america internationally to make sure that we're not threatened by

others and also to remember that reagan was optimistic and forward looking he believed in mourning in america he believed in the shining city on the hill he did not talk about american carnage the way donald trump does now look at it today isn't isn't going to it isn't going to triumph over heart reality but i think we know the kinds of policies that the party believes and and i think that the point that that can't be stressed enough is that for conservatives that i know we got involved in politics because of philosophy in policy we didn't get involved in it because of personalities personalities shouldn't define the republican party anymore than they should find the democratic party it should be about ideas and that's the kind of party that we need fundamental when i read your book it sounds like where the media was too when i when i read your book you sound like a little some of the democrats on all of them because there are some some democrats

who see the world close along the way you do and i'm just one. during you know are is that just john bolton you know permanent republican or do you see some merit in some of the criticisms and observations that the media was bringing to this and also to certain to be some democrats who are now coming into office well i think some of the criticisms of trump from the democrats and the media were correct in terms of methodology style approach and that sort of thing. and what what i was trying to do and in the passages and in the book that i think you're referring to is explain that you can actually be a conservative and not be donald trump in fact i would say being a conservative almost by definition means you're not donald trump and i think many in the media didn't see that many in the democratic party didn't see it they simply criticize trucks for everything and in fact in many cases where they had

a grain of truth in the criticism it got exaggerated to the point that it was impossible to find common ground so i found that irritating because on the inside what i was trying to do is persuade the president toward policies that i would consider more typically republican mainstream and then these attacks would come in and among many other things that would divert trump's attention that they would certainly succeed. you had a very powerful end of the book that i was surprised by and hadn't hadn't heard largely discussed in the press or a lot of criticism of you for not stepping up to voluntarily testify if you will both in the impeachment process in the house and you're following. the legal processes with with charles come from and what where that came out but people said why not why not stand up and do this and what you wrote is something which i found interesting you said look that you already saw the writing on the wall that the way that the legal challenge on trump had been narrowly defined was one where you knew

he was going to come out was hardly worth playing but that there were larger issues about trump and selling out essentially america's interests in a much larger context that may have been high crimes and just mean high crimes and may have been impeachable. did i get that right were you basically saying had they gone bigger you would have been there and probably supported. i don't think they saw through what they were trying to do and i think by the time you know what i resigned on september the 10th 2019 i did get my life back together people from the national security council were coming in dismantling a skiff in my basement but the impeachment effort was well underway and i thought it was doomed to failure it was too narrow it was pursued in a partisan way and i felt that the senate there's simply no chance a book of a senate conviction now that might not have been a possible in any circumstances but here was the basic mistake that gave

pietschmann advocates may they thought as nancy pelosi famously said trump will be impeached forever ok true but he was also acquitted forever sat does that in your mind say that he's going to be limited strained to turn by the impeachment process in a 2nd term or would he have been emboldened and enable and the answer is clearly the latter and in that sense the impeachment effort achieves a result exactly the opposite of what the impeachment advocates favored and the whole thing was so misbegotten in my mind that i just didn't see it as ultimately has been productive i also thought it was important to tell the full story which is what i tried to do in the book although i could could have written much more people need to see it whole and obviously end pietschmann and congress. testimony is is going to be very inadequate to accomplish that so i understand why people feel the

way they do i just don't think they fully appreciate the bigger picture at least that's the point out a strong interest that after an 18 year now long afghanistan war after a period where clearly a lot of americans are exhausted of that kind of conflict you think have you we thought any of this you think that those kinds of wars are that we're still on the course and need to have them to have that conflict with iran to get it moved on to have a kind of conflict a to move in north korea because those both came out in your book as well you said we can't shirk that responsibility and there are ways to go in and i just i think that's also part of the john bolton package. well i think the who are in afghanistan is very different from the threats of proliferation by north korea and iran and the point i've always tried to make in the proliferation context is i don't think america should allow its innocent civilian populations to be held hostage by rogue regimes that pursue ideologies that are governed by personalities

that don't don't follow our logic that they are governed by their own logic to be sure just doesn't happen to be ours and to leave our civilians and the civilians or our allies held at risk by regimes like that i find unacceptable at every american president recent history has said it's unacceptable for iran and north korea to get nuclear weapons and yet with north korea we're on the verge of it and iran is itself close to do they really think it's unacceptable or not and so what i've said really is nothing different than what the bush $43.00 administration policy on preemption in certain circumstances was and i think that's something that would be nuclear proliferator sneek understand that that's a consequence they could face that is a sort of pressure that could affect their behavior in very dramatic ways let me

just ask in conclusion ambassador with the bite administration coming in what do you fear will be their biggest mistakes that you would warn them as a friend as someone who cares about the nation these are the biggest landmines that you could run into. as you give them counsel and hopefully you know hopefully you're all talking together somewhere. don't count on it look at there there are a lot of things i could say let me just say one i think china is the x. the stench will threat for the united states and the west as a whole in the 21st century i don't necessarily pain it as a cold war to note it has aspects of the cold war but it also has aspects of 19th century our politics china is obviously pursuing a domestic society very different from ours but its behavior in the political military and economic sphere is internationally is hostile if not illiterate i

think we have been late to catch up to what china is doing i think the coronavirus actually has educated a lot of american soul out of your chance to do the kind of society the regime in beijing runs and the kind of threat that that poses to the rest not us we see in public opinion surveys attitudes hardening against china in both the u.s. and europe and i think the divide that ministration really needs to think through across the board not just on terrorist issues or or cyber security issues or conventional military issues across the board how are you going to deal with china because the chinese to their credit are master strategist i think in long periods comprehensively whole of government and and we can respond in bits and pieces with which is what we're doing now with some success and i think in

the right direction in many cases but we have not thought through the big picture the way the chinese have it so before the incoming private ministration takes too many decisions that are hard to reverse i think they need to think through the bigger picture i think we would welcome a discussion about congress this is nothing but the trumpet ministration ever had the capability of doing it and i think if we don't do it now we may be hard pressed to do it in the future. well ambassador john bolton author of the room where it happened i could talk with you for hours i don't know if you would like that but we could do this one other time thank you so much for joining us today fascinating to discuss war and peace with you both thanks again perhaps so what's the bottom line there's a big fight in washington over how to position america in the world and what its objective should be and how to pursue them some like my guest today are skeptical of global deals and institutions and others like many coming into the new bike

to other news and us president elect joe biden has nominated a retired general to be his secretary of defense if confirmed lloyd austin would become the 1st african-american to lead the pentagon a nomination which has gone a lot of praise but also raises some concerns castro reports. retired general lloyd austin has served in the u.s. military for 4 decades rising from west point graduate to leader of u.s. central command as the leader of u.s. forces in iraq austin oversaw the withdrawal of troops under the obama biden administration general austin was a diplomat it was not an easy task he build relationships with iraqi counterparts and with our coalition partners austin said wednesday as defense secretary he would continue to work to strengthen coalitions america is strongest when it works with his allies. and over the years i've worked hand in hand with their diplomatic

colleagues and partners around the globe and with this 1st day in what we're able to accomplish together biden says austin is a skilled leader respected by troops and admired for his integrity if confirmed he would become the 1st black u.s. secretary of defense leading a military where more than 40 percent of active duty members are of color and it is personal experience helping inform our efforts to ensure that our armed forces and select the full strength and diversity of our nation that black latino asian american native american women l.g.b. t. service members are treated with dignity and respect but asked his nomination also bring some controversy u.s. law calls for a civilian led military requiring top brass to have been out of uniform for at least 7 years austin has been retired for 4 years which means he'll need

a congressional waiver jim matt is was the last defense secretary who got a waiver but members of congress said then their action was a one time exception now 2 democratic senators have already said they will not approve a waiver for austin and the retired general may face tough questions about his recent work for a defense contractor so many dig up some some dirt of some current real we're. drawing what out there is. this because ready for those who don't want to see. her often says if confirmed to biden's cabinet he would approach the job of u.s. defense secretary from a civilian perspective and surround himself with civilian staff but it is congress he will have to convince castro al-jazeera wilmington delaware. spoke to much i could said earlier former adviser to former u.s.

secretary of defense ash he says whoever fails the position needs to be politically impartial department of defense congress put in this a requirement that no serving officer who had come off of active duty recently the 7 year timeline could serve as the secretary in and the reasons for this there are multiple reasons for this but at the heart of it is that the secretary of defense is the only other person other than the president who can authorize the use of military power whether it's a small error strike or even nuclear war and the concern was that the nervousness about giving the military too much power simply changing someone out of uniform to a suit but you still have the military having that ultimate control over decisions of whether to go towards peace which is really a map them up to what the u.s. constitution set up and what american culture is about and the concern today even though there have been some notable exceptions back in 1050 general george marshall

the secretary of state becoming secretary of defense and then of course more recently retired general james mattis even though they're been except exceptions the worry is that. that generals have a particular mindset and socialization from these decades in the military they don't look at problems like a civilian it's not about commanding troops it's also about dealing with the policy the politics and this is a political job and that's the other concern if the generals and admirals and the military troops start to think that it's important to show favoritism to one party or the other to get the secretary of defense job later on then it really is going to cause a problem in terms of politicization of the military if you want the military to be a political we see all over the world what happens when the military starts to interfere politics in the outcome is usually not good. and biden's son hunter says he is under federal investigation for his tax affairs under biden says prosecutors

in the u.s. attorney's office in delaware told him they are conducting the probe he says he takes the matter very seriously and is confident a professional and objective review will show his taxes were handled legally and appropriately meanwhile the campaign is pinning its hopes on a lawsuit filed by the us state of texas and backed by 17 other states to overturn the election results which favored joe biden trampas described the case as quote the big one that asks the supreme court to throw out the voting results from 4 battleground states arguing the expansion of mail in voting was illegal and some law experts saying this case is simply unconstitutional trump's lawyer however expects a response by the end of the week the u.s. senate has defeated an effort to block donald trump's plan to sell reaper drones and f. $35.00 fighter jets to the u.a.e. the senate has been voting on whether to stop the $23000000000.00 weapons deal

earlier president trump issued a formal threat to veto congressional efforts to block his plans senators had said the sale was rushed and threatens to start an arms race in the region the sale approved by donald trump those a side deal to the u.a.e. normalisation deal with israel mike hanna with more from washington. well the president informed congress a month ago that he was going to proceed with this deal and many senators deeply concerned about the nature of the deal particularly the sale of the f. $35.00 so mary because most advanced fighter aircraft and a bipartisan group of senators then drew up a series of revolution resolutions 4 of them in an attempt to block the sale but it was always even those senators who had drawn up the resolutions were not expecting much to come out of it it was more a sign of displeasure with president trump in particular for what amounts to a circumvention of congregational oversight in this particular sale now the vote

has just been held in the senate and as expected it was defeated the resolution concerning f. $35.00 for example was $47.00 votes in favor of blocking the sale $49.00 votes against now the debt the width of this vote may seem very narrow however they would have required a 2 thirds majority on the vote to avoid a presidential veto president trump making very clear that he would have imposed to be told should these resolutions have been passed in the senate but once again it was more a symbolic vote in the senate expressing dismay about the fact that the president is circumventing congress and removing congressional oversight on the question of arms sales there were particular concerns among senators particularly the possibility that the u.a.e. may be using the meant the drones and the f. 35 in their war in yemen also concerns about disrupting the balance of power in the

middle east so very many concerns expressed but at the end of the day the sale is now going to go ahead. in the news ahead facebook under fire $46.00 u.s. states ban together in a joint lawsuit against the social media giant for unfair competition practices and concern that poorer nations could be left behind is the global distribution of the coronavirus vaccine begins. how the weather may is pretty quiet across a good part of china now we got some question whether pulling away from japan at present want to see showers into the eastern side of honshu maybe a few showers up towards her qaida and as we go on through friday they should start to peter out more in the way of dry weather and a tad warmer in tell you cared around 15 celsius is our dry weather through the

with both sides admitting that large gaps remain and a final decision will be made at the weekend or brennan reports now from brussels. this was the 1st time in months that the british prime minister has traveled personally to brussels and the importance of the dinner with the european commission president cannot be exaggerated to deadlock in the technical negotiations the hopes of salvaging a trillion dollar a year trading relationship now rested on political compromise firstly over the educated face masks. on top. night with. this. outside the commission building the union flag was hosted for the 1st time since january but when boris johnson's motorcade departed 3 hours later the assessment from the u.k. side was downbeat significant obstacles and very large gaps remain said a spokesman unclear whether these can be bridged as live on the lane statement described a lively and interesting discussion but also admittedly

a clear understanding that the positions remain very far apart negotiating teams have been asked to reconvene in one last effort to find common ground but on sunday a firm final decision will be made promises questions from sir both sides have political red lines and compromise is difficult before travelling to brussels boris johnson had faced a restless session of parliament what i can say is that this country will be ready for whether we have a canadian. solution and there will be jobs created in this country throughout the whole of the u.k. not just in spite of rhetoric but because a breakthrough and us live on the lane is also under intense pressure to protect the integrity of the e.u. single market. economists and outside of us they should 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. but future proofing a level playing field between the 2 is challenging the e.u. is adamant that britain can't continue to have free access to the single market if it also wants to divert should be used and it's a rules but britain is equally insistent that the e use attempt to block the u.k. to european rules is an unacceptable infringement of sovereignty analysts see the need for compromise on both sides it will have to understand towards country does not have 100 percent of the market access can also not take over. a lot of that use rules that it needs to have a lot of regulatory freedom but it's very much on the at right now and it all depends on boris johnson whether he's willing to make the compromises that are required to european leaders and heads of state arrive here in brussels later on thursday for the final european council summit of the year no clearer as to what the trading arrangement with the u.k.

will be just 3 weeks from now and even if a deal can somehow miraculously be struck before january the 1st ratification obvious is highly unlikely in that kind of time scale it's a messy end to a very messy year paul brennan al-jazeera brussels. coronavirus update now on the number of infections around the world is soaring as is the global rush to get hold of emerging vaccines but there are also concerns that less well off countries are being left behind campaign is when the people's vaccine alliance say will the nations of hoarded their vaccines in fact they've got enough to inoculate their populations 3 times over while only one in 10 people from 70 other low income countries will be able to get back to the native next year some countries have other obstacles to overcome iran for example which is the middle east's worst affected nation is facing difficulties getting hold of vaccines president hassan rouhani blames that on u.s.

led sanctions. and our people should know that what ever we want to do when we want to import medicine or import equipment or vaccines we have to curse trump a 100 times as he has created so many problems in annoyances a simple job that would normally be done with a phone call a message or swift transaction takes weeks or months to complete and the whole country has to work together to transfer money from one place to the other just to buy medicine the bunch screamed in the last days of this sinister teen year at the white house our vets work it more on this from us a big in teheran is that some countries and companies are simply afraid of the repercussions of doing business with iran. earlier in the year iran did apply to the international monetary fund for a $5000000000.00 loan to help them tackle the covert pandemic now that was rejected and iran blamed the united states it could be that sometimes countries and companies are afraid to do business with iran because of those sanctions even if they are not directly impacted in the year iran purchased

a flu vaccine from france and that was held up in spain we believe in the health minister said that consignment was stopped by the united states so they actually blame the united states for stopping that flu vaccine getting to iran now iran did hit 1000000 kroner virus infections earlier this month is the worst hit country in the middle east but officials here say that they are working on their own covert vaccine and if trials are successful they hope to roll that out in early early summer 2021. meanwhile british scientists so people with a history of significant allergic reactions should avoid the pfizer vaccine which is now being administered in the u.k. this is after 2 people who received the job suffered adverse affects more from charlie and. 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 but if we need to strengthen our advice now that we've had this experience in the vulnerable populations the groups have been selected as a priority we get that advice to the field immediately. britain's mass vaccination program already poses one of the biggest flood 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 response infections and the most difficult time of year for the n.h.s. so the idea we can suddenly start now because the vaccines here it would be really

reporters simply an attempt to smear china's reputation. as the so-called human rights group you mentioned has always been full of prejudice and stirring up trouble the words are not worth refuting ken roth though a human rights watch executive director says china's reaction to the report is not surprising. they say it's not worth refuting because they can't it's all accurate it's based on their database i mean somebody leaked an official database containing 2000 names of and weaker and other turkic muslims who were detained we simply didn't analysis of the database of course they can't refute it please that's their own words that basically show how little it takes to be detained if you are a muslim in china and you know the chinese government likes to say oh this is just a counterterrorism campaign we're just going after criminality but what this database shows is that basically they're going after islam because if you look at

the how little it takes to get detained you know there was one man for example who was detained because in the mid 1980 s. he studied the koran and in the early 2000 he left his wife wear a veil that was it you know he was just a practicing muslim back got him detained and we see this kind of thing over and over and over again if you study or preach or read the koran without official state permission that gets you to taint and what's what's interesting is that this is not only revealing about how much this is not about criminality this is about islam but it also shows really this horrible automation of the detention process is hand held out that human rights watch reverse engineer which police officers and change and used to input virtually 11 pages of data on every muslim and then there are is a big data analysis done to decide ok what are the suspicious criteria but you know

suspicion means somebody from abroad called you or you travel from your video edge to another village or you're young it's nothing you know and basically this is just a war on you know anybody with any byron see any degree of belief islam they get detained and detention means you were you know under pressure you are really going to forced reeducation until you abandon islam and you abandon your culture. boeing's 737 max jet has returned to the sky after being grounded since 2019 the revamped aircraft made its 1st commercial flight in brazil from sao paolo to porto alegre on goal airlines boeing hopes it can turn the corner now after a damaging crisis remember 2737 crashes which killed 346 people. a multi-million dollar test launched by the u.s. aerospace company space x. has ended in pretty spectacular fashion.

continue to work to strengthen coalitions america is strongest when it works with his allies. and over the years i've worked hand in hand with their diplomatic colleagues and partners around the globe and with this 1st day in what we're able to accomplish together biden says austin is a skilled leader respected by troops and admired for his integrity if confirmed he would become the 1st black u.s. secretary of defense leading a military where more than 40 percent of active duty members are of color and it is personal experience helping inform our efforts to ensure that our armed forces and select the full strength and diversity of our nation that black latino asian american native american women l.g.b. t. service members are treated with dignity and respect but austin's nomination also bring some controversy u.s.

law calls for a civilian led military requiring top brass to have been out of uniform for at least 7 years austin has been retired for 4 years which means he'll need a congressional waiver jim matt is was the last defense secretary who got a waiver but members of congress said then their action was a one time exception now 2 democratic senators have already said they will not approve a waiver for austin and the retired general may face tough questions about his recent work for a defense contractor so many dig out some dirt of some current real we're. drawing what out there this. has become ready for those who don't want to see. her often says if confirmed to biden's cabinet he would approach the job of u.s. defense secretary from a civilian perspective and surround himself with civilian staff but it is congress

he will have to convince castro al-jazeera wilmington delaware. and biden's son hunter says he's under federal investigation for his tax affairs hunter biden says prosecutors in the u.s. attorney's office in delaware told him they are conducting the probe he said he takes the matter very seriously and is confident a professional and objective review will demonstrate his taxes were handed handled illegally and appropriately. john campaign is pinning its hopes on a lawsuit filed by the us state of texas and backed by other 17 states to overturn the presidential election results which favor joe biden has described the case as the big one that asks the supreme court to throw out the voting results from all battleground states arguing that the expansion of mail in voting was illegal some law experts say the case is unconstitutional however he expects a response by the end of the week. the u.s.

senate has defeated an effort to block trump's plan to sell repeat drones and f. $35.00 fighter jets to the u.a.e. the senate has been voting on whether to stop the $23000000000.00 weapons deal earlier president trump issued a formal threat to veto congressional efforts to block its plans senators had said the sale was rushed and threatens to start an arms race in the region the cell was approved by trump as a side deal to the u.a.e. normalisation agreement with israel i can't it has more from washington d.c. . well the president informed congress a month ago that he was going to proceed with this deal and many senators deeply concerned about the nature of the deal particularly the sale of the f. $35.00 so mary because most advanced fighter aircraft and a bipartisan group of senators then drew up a series of revolution resolutions 4 of them in an attempt to block the sale but it was always even those senators who had drawn up the resolutions were not expecting

much to come out of it it was more a sign of displeasure with president trump in particular for what amounts to a circumvention of congregational oversight in this particular sale now the vote has just been held in the senate and as expected it was defeated the resolution concerning f. $35.00 for example was $47.00 votes in favor of blocking the sale $49.00 votes against now the debt the width of this vote may seem very narrow however they would have required a 2 thirds majority on the vote to avoid a presidential veto president trump making very clear that he would have imposed to be told should these resolutions have been passed in the senate but once again it was more a symbolic vote in the senate expressing dismay about the fact that the president is circumventing congress and removing congressional oversight on the question of arms sales there were particular concerns among senators particularly the

possibility that the u.a.e. may be using the meant the drones and the f. 35 in their war in yemen also concerns about disrupting the balance of power in the middle east so very many concerns expressed but at the end of the day the sale is now going to go ahead. alex could help a list takes a closer look at why the f. 35 is considered one of the most powerful china gents in the world. the united states has agreed to sell 50 advanced stealth f. 35 jet fighters and 18 reaper drones to the united arab emirates a sale of the potential to change the balance of power in the region so why is the if that the 5 arguably the most powerful fighter jet in the world 1st its unusual shape and the materials it's coated in make it difficult for radar to track the aircraft is nearly invisible to any and defense system searching for it then it's advanced technology allows it to identify many threats at once and deal with them

civil tenuously this will give the iraqi air force a significant edge and make it one of the most powerful in the middle east israel is concerned it will lose its so-called qualitative military edge in the region protected by u.s. law it means the united states cannot sell weapons to any of its regional neighbors the would put them on a par with israel there is now reportedly a discussion on how the u.s. will proceed with the possibility of the u.a.e. could receive a slightly less sophisticated version of the aircraft the defense deal also includes 18 reaper m.q. 9 be armed drones the usa already operates chinese made on drones over the skies of yemen and libya but the ones who buy from the united states a markedly superior the reapers far more sophisticated with better senses and a greater range allowing it to carry a wide variety of weapons this model is certified to operate within

as a side deal to the u.a.e. is normalization of ties with israel. crucial trade talks between the european union and britain have broken up without a clear decision the meeting between us live on the line and boss johnson in brussels was aimed at finding a political compromise to break months of deadlock instead of that then it concluded with both sides admitting that large gaps for me and a final decision will wait at the weekend or brenna reports from brussels. this was the 1st time in months that the british prime minister has traveled personally to brussels and the importance of the dinner with the european commission president cannot be exaggerated to deadlock in the technical negotiations the hopes of salvaging a trillion dollar a year trading relationship now rested on political compromise firstly over the etiquette of facemasks. on. my. side the commission building the union flag was hosted for the 1st time since

january but when. since motorcade departed 3 hours later the assessment from the u.k. side was downbeat significant obstacles and very large gaps remain said a spokesman unclear whether these can be bridged live on the lane statement described a lively and interesting discussion but also admittedly clear understanding that the positions remain very far apart negotiating teams have been asked to reconvene in one last effort to find common ground but on sunday a firm final decision will be made promises questions from sir both sides have political red lines and compromises difficult before travelling to brussels boris johnson had faced a restless session of parliament what i can say is that this country will be ready for whether we have a canadian. solution and there will be jobs created in this country throughout the whole of the u.k. not just in spite of rhetoric but because a breakthrough and us live on the lane is also under intense pressure to protect

the integrity of the e.u. single market. they can listen and outside of us they should 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. but future proofing a level playing field between the 2 is challenging the e.u. is adamant that britain can't continue to have free access to the single market if it also wants to divert should be used and it's a rules but britain is equally insistent that the e use attempts to lock the u.k. to european rules is an unacceptable infringement of sovereignty analysts see the need for compromise on both sides it will have to understand the country does not have 100 percent of the market access can also not take over. a lot of that use rules that it needs to have a lot of regulatory freedom but it's very much on the edge right now and all. it's

on boris johnson whether he's willing to make the compromises that are required european leaders and heads of state arrive here in brussels later on thursday for the final european council's summit of the year no clearer as to what the trading arrangement with the u.k. will be just 3 weeks from now and even if a deal can somehow miraculously be struck before january the 1st ratification obvious is highly unlikely in that kind of time scale it's a messy end to a very messy year paul brennan al-jazeera brussels. as the global rush to get hold a crowd of us vaccines intensifies there's mounting concern that low income countries could be left behind that america is one region where poorer nations could struggle to get the stocks they need a vaccination programs potentially dragging on for years bang out of palatable for . latin america holds only 8 percent of the world's population it accounts for

roughly 30 percent of global code $900.00 deaths but. it's arguably the hardest hit region by the global coronavirus pandemic. it is news that a vaccine could soon be on the way concerns of bound over low income countries having equal access. on wednesday the pan american health organization said the number of doses of the vaccine will not be enough for everyone at 1st some of the region's poorest nations will be almost entirely dependent on donated supplies of the vaccine the organization says that solidarity and the sharing of resources between the nations of the americas will be essential to successful international vaccination efforts it's going to take some time it's been home to take beyond 20 twentieth's so our arrival of the gores that we set ourselves that will control transmission but really what we are eager to seek with making waxen

this if you have a history of anaphylaxis. well let's hear from 1st is that the safety of this vaccine is a really excellent and it showed in south is that some people now they don't miss their sometimes. secure ways shin's can happen and it's good that we really early on so we really get ready for. this kind of. like what is. done to right now. people will be asked if they have a severe allergic reaction like in a locked. in action or not and these people will be set aside and not given the vaccine the one thing that i think is being ready at this site affects the nation so you will have station equipment to treat people in case

something something like this is not good so it's not very in vaccines that these kind of appearances can happen and it did not happen during the clinical trial we didn't of thousands of people who received the vaccine twice so basically it can be that this is a really arrow care and send that it is in place right now there we get everybody obviously move very quickly and changing the advice on this once this happened is that encouraging to you that the reporting systems are working and working very quickly. exactly that's really a plus that we are on top of things and we are not the only. we are in control of what's going on with the health authorities are a group following each and every site there is a good reporting but. the yellow cards from the something happens so that's that's really assuring that the safety is the really the major order number one priority

for for all these are good buddies as well as health authorities in the country should we be expecting more changing advice about these vaccines and also what about pregnant women or young children what's the advice for them in terms of getting a vaccine while the clinical trials who are those that were performed in people of the 16 years all who gave consent to participate in the study and therefore i don't believe the vaccine will be indicated for children below of 16 unless you go into a clinical trout the pregnant woman is another area that needs to be investigated and there must be some clinical trials and some very thorough investigation of the possibility of using government in now i think that the vaccine would be

indicated for this group or to the children so the 1st will come maybe the end the 2nd tier winsley or the 2nd the stage of the vaccination when we have the clinical data to support the hauling out into these areas thanks so much airtime elephants in there from blue with biologics thank you. facebook is being social in the u.s. the key is to illegally trying to buy up rivals and stifle competition u.s. government in 46 states say the social media giant broke antitrust laws and abused market power they're asking the court to consider breaking up the company car like reports. it's the biggest social media giant in the world with more than 3000000000 uses across its platforms but now facebook's iconic thumbs up is facing a legal sums down the company's stands accused of using illegal tactics to dominate the industry for nearly a decade facebook has used its dominance and monopoly power to crush smaller rivals
