the 1st $145.00 sites in the u.s. are expected to receive the vaccine on monday with the rest receiving it by wednesday now front line responders like dr ben you sachin colorado will be among the 1st to be vaccinated against cove of 19 i am going to be one of the tips of the spear were the 1st people to step in to help generate these herd immunity which is sold forward to us to get a grip on this terrible disease those 1st vaccinations will happen just days after the u.s. food and drug administration approved it on friday science and data guided the f.d.a. decision we worked quickly based on the urgency of this pandemic not because of any other x. turn of pressure that external pressure came from president trump who on friday tweeted to han to quote get the damn vaccines out now the vaccine has shown to be 95 percent effective in preventing covert $1000.00 transmission but it must be

stored it ultra 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 to 90 days some 3000 americans that's more than were killed in the 911 attacks will die each day of covert 19. then there are the conspiracy theorists and skeptics who say they will refuse to take it up like sometimes that thing might be a hoax and not only i don't think i'd even fool with it because i don't know one soul. that has this i 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. dr jordan c. benjamin is the executive director of the american public health association he

says that many rural communities across the u.s. are not equipped to distribute the vaccine united states is a big country and we have lots of real communities and then even urban communities in which they don't have the capacity to deal with the ultra cold storage so the ultra core storage was really with makes this a much more difficult vaccine to distribute and get into people's arms but we know how to do it. you know this nation has. an amazing vaccine program and if we just deal with the technology of getting this cold vaccine into into communities then we'll be able to backs and ate all the people that want to have been vaccinated i think what we do though is that this particular vaccine protects you from getting very sick and in most people getting sick at all what we don't know yet even though studies are ongoing is how much it also protects you from test

missing this disease to other people and how long it lasts how long that protection last may be like a lot of that seems you know every 10 years you have to get a tetanus shot because the immunity weighs on that shot but we just don't know yet but we will over the year. south korea has reported a 2nd day of record high corona virus infections rather than a 1000 new cases were confirmed on sunday many of them in the capital seoul earlier this year south korea was hailed as a success story but infections are now rising sharply the government has warned it may have to increase restrictions to the highest level. hundreds of students in nigeria are feared missing after gunmen stormed a secondary school and kidnapped a number of children the attackers arrived on motorbikes at a boarding school in king care a district in the northern katsina states barbara and gopal reports. these are some of the boys relieved to be going home after the school raid in which many of their

friends were taken hostage there leaving behind parents anxiously waiting for the return of their missing children. sincerely speaking we here in katsina state are in a terrifying condition we don't see the value of the government i have a younger brother and a child taken by the kidnappers i'm from dan jack katsina state and i've been here in the school since dawn and yet there is no update. it's not clear how many children have been abducted from the all boys boarding school nigerian police say they forced the gunmen to retreat after engaging them in a shootout for more than one hour but this anger that 6 years up to more than $270.00 girls were kidnapped by the armed group boko haram at chip uk nigerian security forces appear to have once again failed to keep school children safe for rates to be that we have him

a jaw tragedy off. hundreds and hundreds of students once again in the country is an indication that we learned no lessons from the previous tragedy there is something called assists call initiative this government should ask itself how seriously it has to conduct initiatives abductions have become increasingly common in nigeria just 2 days before the school abduction a village elder along with 20 others was kidnapped in the same state. the governor has ordered the immediate closure of all boarding schools while investigations are underway. to sara let's bring in. who's a geo political and security analyst that after a political and africa security think tank is joining us from the nigerian capital abuja thanks very much for your time before we get into the security issues let me ask you about developments in the story because i know you're following it very

closely so what are you hearing about the numbers of students who are still missing . thanks for having me so the when the initial story broke out the number of those was 600 or more we know is that the total number of students in the school is 100 so. asked to do so they're hearing reports that the police commissioned the risk to hold 200 students barque so that's living that's living about 400 supposedly from the 600. it's been in china by the. by that even the because it's in the commission of the kitchen reports that the number to be rescued is up to 496 so if you look if you look at that provision it means since the. attack on the school the government

effort to rescue these children has been ongoing and the number of. students who have been rescued climbed up to us has fallen down to the 6 but the total number of students is to know are it's 2 it's a it's been a $200.00 mean that it's a leg up of about 364 students 2. accounted for right now and you know if you're sponsibility right now as we know but reports do suggest that nigerian security forces have exchanged gunfire with who they're describing as a group of bandits. who do you think is behind us and what is the message that they're sending out. yeah it's very likely that these are not not. happen in 2 in 2040 that is because there are 4 pressure on here it's. not with an engine particularly causing us to this state custody for us to to not withstand is known to have serious. attacks from some bandits on called need

to groups that don't really have any in my line intentionally states or trying to impose any policy on the situation was understood that we have a. criminal element operating freely i would see in notwithstanding so even before our program kidnapping there also have been reports that particularly if this is an illegal mining also to fund the operation this it will lead to the loves off for us it's shutting down all my minds just like you saw the governor of. the. schools in the state following the recent to send out the issues you we are losing you reactionary. when it comes to protecting lives of propriety you know in not withstanding so as the government can do more fairly auger is the government failing or on getting a handle on security and particularly in that region we know that the president

when he came to what power president bihari he pledged that he would be restoring security. yes if we look good then i mean since you came to. me every doctor in. terms of bombings and i talk it's still ongoing just about 9 days ago there was even an attack in mumbai by a local government in. you know from us a kid in a model who was somewhere around. for the 3445 so these are us to go in and liberalized to government has made efforts are not in of our you can't is the discontent in the voice of the people when the governor of course not it went to discworld yesterday fall into the attack on concord in concord a local government the parents actually booed him so that doesn't tell you the deep

rooted. approval people feel they are not represented by his government that their interest on their lives on the property is not is not for the government because these are class keep people happening and we always get reactionary responses on the president who just see he's condemning the attack but it doesn't stop the attack from happening and people are getting fed up all right we thank you very much for speaking to us from a boucher. still ahead on al-jazeera mounting promises of vaccine rollout across latin america people wait. from bad to worse. vote the people decide if they want president. gore and.
