decision we worked quickly based on the urgency of this pandemic not because of any other extra no pressure that external pressure came from president trump who on friday tweeted to han to quote get the damn vaccines out now trump on saturday called it a victory for our nation has achieved a medical miracle we have delivered a safe and effective vaccine in just 9 months the vaccine has shown to be 95 percent effective in preventing covert 1000 transmission but it must be stored it all true cold temperatures the road to immunity across the u.s. is likely to be paved with pain and tragedy the head of the u.s. centers for disease control says over the next $60.00 to $90.00 days some $3000.00 americans that's more than were killed in the $911.00 attacks will die each day of cove and 19 then there are the conspiracy theorists and skeptics who say they will refuse to take it obvious. sometimes that thing might be

a hoax and i don't i don't think i'd even pull with it because i don't know one soul. that has this know a lot of people that represents just one of the logistical conundrums for president elect joe biden he has set a goal of inoculating 100000000 americans within 100 days of his inauguration on january 20th john hendren al-jazeera washington post total cost of like hannah who is with us in washington d.c. encouraging news migrating for many americans and sort of medical workers the operation warp speed really is gaining some traction now. yes it is and also the promise now that the 1st doses will be in place by monday an initial surge of $2900000.00 doses will go out over the next few days and then $21.00 days later another 2900000 for the 2nd follow up injection this is a 2 injection procedure of course the the states themselves where the

sites have been established this is something that's been drawn up over a period of months now part of the problem has been initially the feeling was we've got to concentrate on hotspots however because the virus has spread in such a haphazard way in so many different areas basically it was decided by the c.d.c.'s advice to isolate certain locations $625.00 odd locations which will be the collection points for the doses as they arrive from kalamazoo michigan which is where the pfizer plant is based remembering too that a nother vaccine is coming up for review board next week. and that of course will increase the amount of doses that are available that will be going out as operation warp speed gets underway so they get be can be emphasized enough my turn it was touched upon in john's report that it really is

a huge logistical operation and one that has to have a lot of considerations if you just sort of just take as you say the worst affected states in areas and then considerations about dealing with urban and rural areas in states that are huge and vast for the medical fraternity to try and create a small. yes it's a very very arduous operation and the actual transport is going to be in some cases by aircraft in other cases by god and trucks it is a massive logistical operation the chief operating officer of the whole warp speed operation general good stuff turner likened it to d.-day saying that this is now d.-day it's the beginning of the end of the plague this is something that now has to get under way but there are massive problems ahead as we have mentioned it's $2900000.00 doses initially now that is far beyond or far less than what is needed

to end up with americans or getting a access to the antidote and remembering to a very important fact here is that the science is pretty inexact on this now health officers are kind of calculating that once 75 percent of the public receives the vaccine a good human an immunity will establish but that is relying on certain factors that are not yet clear 1st of all how long will the immunity last there have been recorded cases of people contracting the virus twice or 3 times so all of these factors are going to come together it's very much a work on the fly the planning has been made in terms of distribution but actually what happens next is something that science is through to discover and to get to be very much mike hanna for us in washington d.c. . well countries across latin america are all pinning their hopes on the promise of mass vaccinations against corona virus but the number of deaths and infections

continues to rise hospitals are a breaking point the reports from the arjen time capital. the vaccines are coming that's the reassuring message from leaders across latin america this from the chilean president after meeting regional heads of state in santiago to discuss ensuring comprehensive vaccination coverage that no one is left out. just sort of up in with this will allow us to better control the coronavirus pandemic which also allows us to recover our freedoms and recover the capacity of all people to fulfill and to take forward their dreams and projects mexico is the 4th country in the world to approve the use of the pfizer vaccine it comes as the number of infections and deaths in mexico continue to rise more than 11000 new daily infections in mexico city and has declared a culvert emergency call feeling us heavy and there's a last year there i trust to the residents of this city we are on alert because of

co that 19 hospitalizations are on the rise and only only if we all comply will we be able to reduce contagions in the city. a similar grim picture is reported across the region more than 90 percent of intensive care beds in the brazilian cities of rio de janeiro and pretty cuba are occupied this is a 1st the population needs to do its part as tired as we might be it is important to say that our health professionals are exhausted after all these months in this war against the current a virus in this battle for life amid latin american economies being hit hard by the pandemic christmas this year is unlikely to bring much rest bite. there i'm not going to buy anything because i can't i'm unemployed and receiving the government's aid it's peanuts. and i can't do much with it so there will be no gifts no christmas ask that of me ever to decide who will spend less because the future is

so unclear it's not easy what we really want is that the code vaccine arrives as soon as possible. the vaccines are that light at the end of a long tunnel but it will take time to see their effects and precautions still need to be taken that's proving a difficult message to drum home. there are 201 osiris police in northern nigeria searching for missing students after gunmen stormed a secondary school a large group of attackers on motorbikes arrived late on friday at the boarding school in caro district in the state of could see no one officer was shot during an hour long battle between the government and security forces about 800 students attend the school when he fled house the attackers opened fire police are still searching for the gunman. as quest is a former education minister and the co convene of the international bring back our girls campaign it was formed in 20141 of the 300 students were kidnapped from

abroad have voted in a non-binding poll organized by opposition leader. is asking people whether they want to end president nicolas maduro as rule on hold new elections the referendum was organized to counter last week's parliamentary elections opposition groups had boycotted that vote calling it fraudulent. governing party regained a majority in the national assembly and the only state body the opposition had actually controlled let's get more on this while latin america editor lucy anyone joins me now following events of course from chile's capital santiago good to have you with us lucy or i mean one wonders now the voting has ended how you assess the turnout obviously reported from venezuela on many occasions you know the feeling of the people. yes i have been keeping a very close eye on both the turnout inside venezuela and outside of venezuela

remember there are more than 5000000 venezuelans most of them here in latin america a large number here in chile and even more 2000000 just in colombia in. this country was shall we say disappointing from the point of view of the of the opposition here in santiago there's a there's a 48 hour total lockdown people aren't even allowed to go out of their homes without a special permit so that the polling stations had been set up by the opposition we're not able to open another city as they were but still 2 people showed up a similar thing happened in colombia but inside venezuela we've been seeing pictures of pretty decent lines people turning out to vote despite the fact that in some cases armed groups called the bulls who are loyal to the bad little government were out there and disrupted the voting and in fact in some cases took out ran off with the ballot boxes but but at least. one by the all of the opposition leaders said

a few hours ago that he was satisfied that many millions of venezuelans had vote. do you think your position really hope to gain by this so it's not legally binding but they certainly want to send a message out domestically and internationally. yes that's right it would have been legally binding if it had been done in a way that was recognized by the electoral council and by the most liberal government because the constitution says that these referendums or or popular consultations as it's called isn't exactly the same as a referendum must be binding but just as the elections last sunday to the to the national assembly where they can and contested their legitimacy so too are these elections so yes they are very much symbolic i asked what the naacp is one of the main opposition leaders who escaped from that is layla 2 months ago and who was in colombia why. they were going to all this trouble considering that they would not

be recognized by the government. this is a constitutional right that the venezuelan people have and the idea behind this is to gather popular support venezuelans inside and outside our territory to support your claims 1st that last sunday there was a fraud 2nd or commitment to have free and fair presidential elections and 3rd is a message for the international community that we need all the pressure we need all the support in order to reach freedom and free and fair elections in venezuela so the idea is to organize mobilize and promote the active consciousness of the venezuelan people everywhere in the world in venezuela and outside to gather around a common objective what else can the international community do short of an invasion to dislodge lasted a little there's a lot more that can be done

a lot more pressure diplomatic pressure the use of sanctions with strategic focus the political pressure the pressure to isolate my goto us what it is a criminal and i go to being recognized by the u.s. . and also by the i.c.c. the international criminal court responsible for committing crimes against humanity and huge violations against the human rights of millions of venezuelans so i believe that there is a lot more that can be done and i can tell you something to see here that we will continue to go forward we will continue to do whatever it takes in order to promote freedom and free elections in venezuela because we don't have another option and the other option is to surrender and we won't surrender you just spoke about unity not just of the international community but also amongst the venezuelan people and of course the opposition forces and we've all heard the comments by and we can

company list suggesting that the time for an interim government has passed and it's failed to do what it was supposed to do and in fact. says that there is really no leadership now in the opposition well how do you respond to that why respond with the facts the facts are that in all the opinion polls in venezuela the person that has the highest level of support. of any other leader in venezuela from any sector is one where you will and that's a reality but beyond the personal support that he has from the venezuelan people he holds their legitimacy of being the interim president with one mandate to promote free and fair elections i'd like to end by asking you what do you think will happen to one by door come january 5th what one will your will continue to be interim president and i have spoke with him about this many times about the risks of him

going to prison and being detained because it has been public the threat that nikolai's moore and others have focused in set against one where you and i can tell you that he's willing to take the risk and he will continue to take the risk he will not leave in his way that and i believe that after today after the. he will gather popular support he will gather unity of all the political sectors and civil society and also of the international community to continue to organize and to lead or effort to have freedom and free and fair elections in venezuela the lawyer representing the family of an italian student tortured and murdered in egypt is commending what she calls a new chapter in the investigation on thursday italian prosecutors announced plans to charge for senior members of egypt's security services over the killing of 28 year old julio regina his body was found in a ditch chance i'd kyra in 26 to induct all yemeni chidi julio julio
