be the hero world needs right. washer. al-jazeera. hello i'm rob matheson this is the news hour live from doha coming up in the next 60 minutes the brig's at trade talks will go on u.k. e.u. leaders say they're far apart on key issues but they won't give up on negotiations . the u.s. begins shipping the 1st doses of coronavirus vaccines and hopes in united's 100000000 people in 4 months. germany is going into lockdown again it's

imposing more covered $1000.00 restrictions after cutting measures fail to reduce infections. rally against their government protesters in pakistan demand the prime minister and his cabinet step down. i'm gemini actually its forces allison high and i progressed to the final of the asian champions 8 red bulls final in the last race of the formula one season in athens and the. british and e.u. leaders say brags that talks will go on abandoning a self-imposed deadline for a trade deal ahead of the e.u. commission van dillen says both sides agreed to go the extra mile because some topics deserve more discussion have been several sticking points including access

by french fishing boats to british waters there's also the so-called level playing field which is ensuring fair and open competition if the 2 sides don't reach an agreement by december the 31st there will be border checks and taxes for goods travelling between the u.k. and the e.u. join a whole begins our coverage. high drama an 11th hour brinkmanship north for the 1st time in the 4 and a half year break up between the u.k. and the e.u. our negotiation teams have been working day and night over recent days and despite the exhaustion after almost one g. of negotiations and despite the fact that lines have been missed over and over we both think that it is responsible at this point in time to go the extra mile did the fact that the 2 sides hadn't called a halt to trade negotiations as some had expected mean that progress was being made

you know what was going that far. i do think as i say there is a deal to be done if our partners want to do it but we remain very far apart on these key issues and they are u.k. can't be locked into the e.u. as regular treat or bit we've obviously got to take back control fisheries full of years after people voted for it no deadlines been set for this latest extension of talks frankly there's been so many deadlines made and missed that no one would believe it anyway the only hard date now is the 1st of january by which time these 2 giant trade partners will have separated for good deal or no deal britain intent on protecting its sovereignty the e.u. looking after the interests of its single market it is a nail biting time particularly for businesses for whom world trade organization

rules in a no deal scenario would mean tariffs and quotas raising the cost of imports and exports with implications for some sectors that may struggle to survive the amount of tax. people are going to be afforded and specially after. you can reach us to return the poorer even more poor so. we don't know how it's going to be you know boris johnson's government is adamant britain will flourish even without a deal no one it says should warre but plenty do don't know how al-jazeera london ok let's talk to paul brown he's live for us from brussels just as jonah was explaining there are things look pretty tense in the u.k. they're obviously trying to gear up for some sort of preparations and in terms of a no deal talk us through what's happening with the e.u. what are the main sticking points there. well michel

barnier the chief a unit go see it said will brief e.u. ambassadors from the 27 nations tomorrow morning monday morning with the latest states of the negotiations bring them up to speed but as far as in broad brushstrokes what i can say is that divergence appears not to be as big an issue as it seems to be in the week you know we had a journal report this is a mess a deep fundamental importance to both sides britain insisting that the brics it votes gave it a mandate to divert from european regulations or rules to go its own way the european union equally adamant that if you want to access to this massive single market you have to play by the single market rules you can't just simply divergent simply and expect to have the same degree of access that set us live on the land on friday said that the european union was no longer expecting britain to follow the

rules of the european union as rules evolved as standards got higher as regulations changed but she said there would be differences in the way britain access if the divergence was there and so what i think we're really looking at here is trying to manage the divergence that's what i think they're discussing in the building behind me and we'll continue to discuss how to define for example what is unfair competition how to define what kind of process should be triggered if unfair competition is seems to be in evidence who should adjudicate on that those kind of issues and whether it should be sort of a big transgression or whether it you know minute should be picked up so i think these are really important issues for the european union and for the u.k. they're matters of principle but they are matters which i think can be negotiated and the prospect of no deal is so stark that they're willing to continue right up to december 31st in the hope of of coming to some kind of agreement on this paul

thanks very much indeed that's paul brennan talking to us from brussels. a lot of waiters from are searching or should have called u.k. in a changing europe he says the pressure will can continue to build on the british prime minister over the next 2 weeks the odds of a deal still to be in the balance probably more likely than not that there will be a deal because of the political tradeoffs that are going to be necessary bars johnson to sign up to the sort of deal that the e.u. is is offering even if there is. a lot of fear about no deal in the in the u.k. this is the level of of. of alignment that the evas ask people and the and the legal to the certainty that it wants that the u.k. won't diverged from the means that it's going to very hard sell the forced johnson mr bracks if you like to sign up to something which is obviously you know that inevitably as with any trade deal going to sort of reduce the you case ptolemy and

sovereignty like if there's no deal they'll be a huge amount of destruction on day one huge you know an inability for all basic goods to get in and out of the u.k. any sort of speed that is going to be sort of real difficulty and the manufacturing as well as in some of the supply of basic goods like food so that's the real potential short term destruction of a new deal for people's day to day lives the victims of them significant evidence of economic and economic hit will come just as where moving out of the recovery from from cave at 19 so that's why as as as as the possibility of an immediate direct approaches 'd over the next few weeks the political pressure on boris johnson to sign up to something which may be said optimal in his view in terms of his position on regulate on regulation and all sovereignty will increase. plenty

more ahead in the news hour including fears over missing students after gunmen attacked a school in northern nigeria on a family's plane the government plus why all 3 dogs christians in iraq say they are being pushed out. and that's a familiar face back at the top of the european golf rankings that's coming up with jemma in sports. the 1st doses of fisons coronavirus vaccine are being delivered in the u.s. it's hoping to immunize $100000000.00 people by april pfizer's using containers with dry ice and g.p.s. enabled sensors to ensure each shipment remains at minus 17 celsius workers in michigan are preparing more containers for the next shipment the elderly and health care workers will be the 1st to get the vaccine john hendren is joining us live from washington d.c. john we really can't underestimate the scale of the operation that going on at the

moment just talk us through what the rollout involves. this is really an unprecedented roll out of a vaccine unlike anything we've really ever seen here in the u.s. and that's why workers applauded as those trucks left the facility with those cases of vaccine kept it a temperature of negative 70 degrees celsius in boxes filled with dried ice they were transported to fed ex and u.p.s. sites and they will be delivered by plane to the 1st $145.00 sites on monday if everything goes as planned by wednesday the 1st 636 locations will have received this 1st 2900000 doses and then from there it will expand assuming everything goes well so we're talking about something like 40000000 doses in december that is the goal that would serve 20000000 people because

everybody has to get 2 shots and then as you say 100000000 doses by april that is the plan for president joe biden who wants 100000000 people vaccinated in his 1st 100 days in office and the prediction is that it will be something like june if everything in the rollout goes well and then of course we've got the madonna vaccine which looks as if it would be approved within days. so by the end of june the beginning of the summer here in the u.s. that is when regular people will have been vaccinated people who don't work on the front line in health care people who are not in nursing homes those will be the 1st people to get them and people who don't have the kinds of co-morbidities the problems that would cause complications if they were to get covert 19 so by summer things could be much better here in the u.s. that the hope we're hearing from u.s. officials right now you know john there are going to be people of course who are

going to be for whatever reason suspicious or wary of taking the vaccines they're also going to be people who think that it's just going to solve everything instantly trying to convince people of the reality of what's going to happen is going to be tough business. that's right and that problem may be worse than people think there was a study in one hospital system the jackson health system in florida and that found just among health workers there that half of them said that they were not planning to take the vaccine and another 35 percent said they wouldn't take it in the 1st round but would consider taking it out afterwards these are health care workers people who are supposedly well informed about the vaccine one of the fears is that this was a vaccine developed in record time in less than a year the previous record was about 4 years for the mumps vaccine and there is concern among people that there could be unknown side effects and alex aids are the

secretary of health and human services took to the airwaves on the morning talk shows here in the u.s. to plead with people asking them to reconsider their questions about this vaccine and that's because in order for it to be effective in order to achieve herd immunity here in the u.s. you have to have about 75 percent of people immune either by vaccination or or other reasons and so this is a very serious problem and that's why you got high profile people like 3 presidents president clinton obama and george w. bush all saying that they will publicly take this on television this vaccine in order to persuade people to take what they've got some work to do in order to achieve that john 100 live for us in washington d.c. john thank you very much indeed omaha money it is about all that just at lancaster university explains the challenges of distributing the vaccine. if we look on to the vaccine efficacy of course the vitamin going on they are close to 90 to 95 percent which is certainly beyond our expectation but when we go onto the next

generation of vaccines for example talking about the spinal farm in the u.a.e. that as a 92 percent i think it's you that's what they proposed at least sputnik 5 is almost at the same that last year to be 70 percent so once the 1st. front runner vaccines will be taken up by most of the melting nations we were left with the vaccine those are probably at least demand in these countries that would be willing and other challenge to distribute because even for example if we teach to 50 percent of the population in the developing word for erecting that is 50 percent effective basically we are covering only 25 percent of the population which isn't sufficient enough to establish your immunity but it has been a certain level of vaccine as attempts even before the closure of 19 and but it has intensified because primarily the rumors and the speed of the vaccine development and probably more importantly their trust and this is even more penetrated into the black. minorities i mean if we talk about the u.k.

itself i mean in london one of the sort of indicated that only 40 percent of the black people will take the vaccine compared to 70 percent in the. english white so that is really a big difference and that is going to be one of the major challenges how to build trust and that has to be trained really by the government to bring all the stakeholders on board because until we don't really immunize 75 percent of the population we're not achieving the herd immunity and we wouldn't be breaking the transmission chain of this infection. or the 1st batch of the pfizer biotech vaccine as you survive in canada on sunday the initial batch of $13000.00 will go to frontline health care workers and care home staff by the end of the month canada should have enough doses to vaccinate around 125000 people and regulators are expected to also approve the moderen of vaccine within days. germany's going back into lockdown the prime minister of bavaria warning the situation in his state is out of control chancellor angela merkel says action must be taken to stop the

spread of the virus the measures include closing shops and schools and limiting social contacts until the middle of january when the league. of we will be closing the shops from once the the 16th of december and will only keep open those that sell essential d.d. products we will also take care not to extend the sale of non-food products in the shops that remain open and the sale fireworks will be prohibited before new year's eve. supporters of pakistan's opposition parties are protesting despite coronavirus restrictions they're demanding the resignation of the prime minister resigned about how imran khan has handled the pandemic protesters also say khan has been incompetent and they say the 2800 elections were manipulated by the military position are planning even larger protests and aim to march to the capital in 2021 has more from islamabad. you must not forget that.

although they will be claiming that hundreds of. referendum we have not seen more crowd than 50 maximum $55.00 when you go of course they will be dogged claim from the opposition one must not forget that on the other hand the government. according to some analysts that the economy recovering and. trying to add pressure and perhaps try. to galvanize. the government more roy so that corruption can be dropped it must not be forgotten that. the prime minister heading one of the large parties had in august on it and.

so a war of words between the government and the opposition. from. day have been members of men for over 2 years now and threatening a long march on this. country in the grip of the 2nd wave of. the un's condemning what is calling a brutal attack on a secondary school in nigeria as to. money in the return of hundreds of students who are reportedly still missing after a gunman stormed the campus in katsina state on friday barangaroo over 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 after 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 abduction of 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 the cisco initiative this

government should ask itself how seriously it has taken that initiative 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 under way barbara and get her out as sarah. all the way a great who analyzes geopolitics and security for africa politica it's a think tank focusing on security on the continent he says many accuse the government of failing to crack down on criminal groups very likely that these are bonded not not because like we saw happen in 2 in 2014 that is because the air operation here it's. not with ninja particularly cuts announced it's this this disgusting nasm fast it in northwest and europe is known to have serious

. attacks from from bandits on courtney to groups that don't really have any any my line intention against these states or trying to impose any policy on the state or institutions understood that we have a book this is a criminal element operating freely i would see in north west and europe balaji government has made efforts efforts are not in of are you counting is the discontent indeed in the voice of the people when the government of course in the city went to describe yesterday following that the attack on concord in concord a local government the parents actually booed him so that doesn't tell you the deep rooted. approve our people feel they are not represented by his government that their interest on their lives and the property is not is not proud for the government asking people happening and we always get reaction i responses and

president we just see he is condemning the attack what it doesn't stop the attack from happening and people are getting fed up. sudan's prime minister has made a brief visit to ethiopia in an effort to resolve the un rest in the northern region. of metz prime minister and says they agreed to hold a meeting with the bloc 'd of east african countries called egads the fighting between government forces in the people's liberation front broke out last month the un says thousands of people have been killed in the conflict with over 950000 being displaced many of those who fled their homes crossed into sudan to seek refuge. afghan police say 3 people have been killed in attacks in the capital a prosecutor has been shot dead in the east of kabul in a separate attack 2 people have been killed in a bomb blast targeting a member of parliament no group has claimed responsibility bhutan has extended its diplomatic relations with israel himalayan kingdom only maintains ties with about

if this hard situation continues it will be difficult for christians to stay in iraq maybe we will persist but the next generation we cannot force them to stay. but tell i used to be a christian majority town but over the past 4 decades the number of muslims here has steadily grown in the 1980 s. then president saddam hussein nationalized farm land belonging to christians and gave it to families of soldiers killed in the iran iraq war in 2014 eisel took over forcing the christian population to flee almost half emigrated abroad about a quarter have returned while another quarter remain in the semi autonomous kurdish region. members of this family in that abuse christian quarter of say the reason they don't feel safe to go back is the security force that controls the town they want to remain anonymous for security reasons. of course safety is the most

important thing we've had enough of the infringements on our lands there is should be controlled by the sons of the area why do they bring strangers to rule the area . that group is the 30th brigade of the shia led popular mobilization forces which helped to retake but eisel the brigade is composed of ethnic shabaka just like most of the muslim population that lives here last year its leader though was placed under u.s. sanctions for alledged human rights abuses against christians other was forced to step down 2 months ago he denies the charges against him and at the article. i believe there's no control of one function over another we should back on the christians have been residents of the area for a long time the christians are welcome to return back to live in their homes and we support these returns there's complete stability and security. the majority of the town is now shut buck many shopkeepers in this market who have

bought or rented shops that used to be run by christians one of them mohammed of nun who recently returned belief such changes are a natural development it's the purchasing power that is ruling the situation the christians don't have money to buy but the muslims conboy but many christians say they are being pushed out and that much of the construction in but is funded by people in power who want to accelerate the demographic change the vatican's announcement of pope francis visit to iraq has given many christians hope that what is left of their heritage can be preserved but the demographic changes here are so extensive that few believe they can be reversed simona felt in al-jazeera but. still ahead in all does iran waiting for a miracle promises of a vaccine roll out across latin america as the situation there goes from bad to worse plus. i'll tell you good enough miki central bosnia and siena one of the

rise re picked up now in southern africa and particularly in south africa around joburg and since a huge thunderstorm if you notice that botswana zambia zimbabwe and beyond of the areas where you get big damp was this time the year blown away represents one example sunstone forecasts of course monday and tuesday and then carry on into wednesday temperatures in very is just the amount of rain that falls from malawi long way represents sunday from monday chews day and wednesday this rain likely in the northern part of madagascar as well but this is all seas know all welcome cos it does tend to use flash floods anyway. to inculpate a culture of knowledge openness and pluralism worldwide and to reward merit and

ago but there's still a quest for justice nearly 600 people are waiting to face trial courts in bosnia have taken over the legal process after the closure of the war crimes tribunal for the former yugoslavia in the hague tony berkley went to see in central bosnia the center of one of the atrocities in the war survivors there is say many of the guilty are still walking free. it is a small village with a dark past it was where one of the biggest atrocities of the bosnian war happened 116 muslim men women and children killed by bosnian croat forces the men were shot the women and children were herded into basements that would then set alight a small room with photos next to the mosque documents that terrible day in april 1993 today much of the village has been repaired but the psychological damage hasn't but this one was in this city where my dad was 73 when he was killed he was weak and disabled it is really difficult to understand how the human mind is

capable of something like that abdullah as mother and 3 sisters died in a burning basement his father and brother were executed he was shot through the head but he survived and play dead he gave evidence of the war crimes tribunal in the hague and hopes for justice speak questions regarding julie musicianship doggedly all of us who testified tried to present all facts we had and we hope that the perpetrators will be convicted and some were but we don't believe that the sentences were strong enough all these villagers lost family members in the attack and feel that more need to face justice the war crimes tribunals started in 1903 with a budget of 270000 dollars by the time it wound up 24 years later the annual cost was around $270000161.00 people were tried and 90 were found guilty now bosnian courts of continuing war crimes trials 25 years after the war ended and there are still nearly $600.00 people facing war crimes charges in bosnia and many

more with blood on their hands are still walking free and that's not making the reconciliation process any easier. an estimated 150 bosnian croat to said have taken part in the amici attack 10 were convicted but 3 fighters were later acquitted on appeal they are back living in the area and lisa lost her father and 47 members of a close and extended family that day she points out where the accused men lived. immersions our wyoming when we see them and their children where both parents love the last hours they killed ours their families are whole and together and thank god it is like that we lost our loved ones there is no clear black and white in war every side has faced charges bosnian serbs have been accused of the majority of war crimes they say innocent serb civilians of also being killed and they've been wrongly portrayed as the bad guys victims are victims on each side and in it

does war between 1985 degrees no innocent people innocent sides just 47 balls in serbs have been found guilty of killing the 8000 muslim men and boys in in 1995. justice is only partially been served but i hope justice will be served in its entirety we have been waiting 25 years for it. some are trying to heal the wounds with the young this is a project called the house of good tones instructor anita that brings together bosnian muslims and orthodox serbs in the hope that one day they can find the reconciliation and harmony which is a leading their parents tony berkeley al-jazeera central bosnia. south korea has reported a record number of infections for a 2nd day more than a 1000 new cases were confirmed on sunday many in the capital seoul earlier this

year south korea was hailed as a success for stabilizing the virus without having to shut down its economy but infections are now rising sharply the governments want to may have to increase restrictions huge or just hang on it's a very serious and ocean situation we cannot back down these are desperate times and we must devote all it 1st to stopping the spread of corona virus by focusing all our quarantine capabilities and administrative power unless the outbreak can be contained now we have come to a critical point of considering grazing restrictions to deliver 3. durham came is director general of the international vaccine institute explained why the most vulnerable groups should get 1st priority for vaccinations. the thing is that you know the only way around the pandemic is is not through treating our way out but to identifying those groups of people who are the highest priority for vaccination so health care workers the elderly and then setting up of prioritization of different

segments of the population that need to be vaccinated i think the government here has made a commitment to vaccinate 30000000 people at least which is roughly 60 percent of the population in the hopes that that will achieve what we call herd protection that the level of immunity in the community will be sufficient to prevent large operates of coping $1000.00 from occurring you know whether that's going to happen or not is up and it's a scientific hypothesis it's definitely testable i think the other thing to remember is that right now we only have 2 months worth of data on safety and efficacy for these vaccines and so whether it's pfizer or moderna or amalia or ashta zeneca we still don't have all the information that we need to say that at 6 months and 12 months these vaccines will continue to be safe and effective we are hoping that they will be there's every suggestion that they will be but we at this point have to say that we don't actually have all the information. brazil is one of

the many countries across latin america pinning their hopes on the promise of mass vaccinations against the corona virus but as people wait to the number of deaths and infections continues to rise and the reports from. 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. yes 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 has declared

a culvert emergency call feeling us heavy and as a last year there i trust to the residents of this city we are on alert because of co the 19 hospitalisations are on the rise and are 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 go to 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 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. them 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. no gifts no christmas. to. spend less because the future is so unclear it's not easy what we really want is that the vaccine arrives as soon as possible. the fact 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. one osiris algeria's president has made his 1st public appearance since testing positive for covert 1000 nearly 2 months ago. and has been receiving treatment in germany since the end of october there's been widespread speculation about his health there's not much information about his conditions being released the 75 year old appeared in a video posted on twitter saying he was expected to make a full recovery within the next 3 weeks the us government has adopted a new map of morocco which includes the disputed territory of western sahara the

votes would not be recognized as valid by the magruder government did not stop these venezuelans from casting ballots in an opposition organized referendum aimed at showing the international community that they want president nicolas maduro out jacki and that is what we're plagued by government violence there are armed groups everywhere we need the well to intervene one way or another to end this. despite reports of armed gangs loyal to mother attacking some of the estimated 3000 makeshift polling stations opposition leader one by door said millions had voted online or in person you know they have a look at with this the illegitimate unconstitutional and fraudulent electoral process carried out last sunday by madeira has been defeated. here in chile the turnout was very low the same in colombia home to the narges to venezuela an ex-pat
