be very pleasant. ready. 0. 00 there i missed all of this is the news hour live from our headquarters here and coming up in the next 60 minutes the european commission says a covert 19 vaccine developed by fines that will be approved before the end of the year. a faction of poke around says it was behind the abduction of hundreds of school children in northern nigeria. would go through or biden of delaware a democrat eyes 50 far knows. the u.s.

electoral college confounds joe biden's victory in november presidential election. and a trade route between china and australia escalates amid reports beijing has restricted imports of a stray and cold. and i'm satisfied to the latest school south korea's a.t.m. kim stuns the gulf walls as number 94 ranked player and wins the u.s. open at the tournament. and we begin this news out in europe where germany's chancellor angela merkel has now announced that a european union vaccine should be approved before christmas there's been a drastic rise in corona virus cases across the continent let's take a look at the rates of infection now this was the situation 2 months ago as you can see lots of that dog red color that shows high rates of infection well now nearly the whole continent is stock red the european center for disease control says any

more than $120.00 cases per 100000 people it's critical every country now except finland norway ireland and iceland is on that highest level serbia georgia croatia with urania they have the highest infection rates but turkey russia germany italy and the u.k. they've reported the most cases and. past 14 days with turkey recording more than 400000 while we have china house standing by for us and london which will go into lockdown on wednesday that fast and speak to an indian barber in brussels now germany is really trying to tackle this on several fronts outings. that's right the german government is clear that the the way the virus is spreading is worrying it to the extent that they're bringing in this national lockdown into january the 10 shutting non-essential shops closing schools as you were saying but at the same time they're aware that did german population is seeing other countries

getting the pfizer biotech vaccine and now they're saying that they believe they can start vaccinating people with that vaccine before the end of the year it's believed that the european medicines agency is going to bring forward approval to december 23rd germany says it's ready to roll out to administer up to $4000000.00 vaccines before the end of this year and by the end of next summer they say they hope to have 60 percent of the population vaccinated that really is offering up hope for a return to a more normal life but at the same time they're hoping that that will encourage people to hold out for a little while longer and follow the rules and the game all of this is happening as many other country is on the continent staring down the barrel of a father lockdowns. that's right now that the netherlands is now bringing in or is brought in a look down until january

a 5 week lockdown similarly closing down schools and shops the government. is well aware that certain cases have started to rise again slowly but surely there are at around $10000.00 new covered 19 cases per day they're also warning people that they shouldn't travel here to belgium because in belgium shops are starting now to reopen although bars and restaurants remain closed and on friday a committee meets in belgium to look at the existing measures the government is not ruling out bringing in tougher restrictions on people ahead of the christmas holidays so the message here as elsewhere is this will not be a normal christmas. but they're keeping an eye on things for us from brussels thanks so much madame speaking of christmas let's now speak to john hall and london he has the latest on those tier 3 restrictions that are coming into effect that midnight seems plenty of controversy about how christmas is going to be celebrated

that this year. yeah i think there's real growing unease about what lies ahead in the weeks following christmas as you say london and parts of the southeast of england joining much of the rest of the country from midnight tonight in tear through the highest level of coronavirus restrictions short of a full lockdown 60 percent of the country in all will be under 3. and in addition you know the infection rates rising in parts of the south south east very steeply doubling they say every 7 days in part it's thought perhaps fueled by a new variant of the virus found by british scientists still being researched and so on and in in addition to all of that the sort of somewhat contradictory. government mandated lifting of almost all the restrictions for 5 days over the christmas period allowing families to mix and mingle in households up to 3

households at a time and that particular measure has come under a lot of criticism most fiercely on tuesday from the 2 main medical journals in this country both internationally eminent the british medical journal and the health services journal who have a simple message which is that this mixing at christmas time will cost lives they've urged the government to think again to avoid blundering into another era they predict that this measure will account for $40.00 times the caseload in the national health service after christmas than was the case at the beginning of the 2nd wave back in the autumn so i think there is real concern about what happens in january with a possible 3rd wave a possible 3rd lock down the government insists it's not planning a rethink here that it isn't planning in this in essence to cancel christmas but one minister did admit a little earlier on today in an interview that all coronavirus measures are under review all the time turner hall there with all the necessity for us from london

thanks so much jana now let's get the view from the other side of the channel in paris as france comes out of lockdown. well over the past few weeks the french government has been lifted her restrictions or shops opened a few weeks ago but today the french government is really lifting the main restriction that is on people's movement so people can now travel all over the country and they do know the permits however where some restrictions are been you have to the others are being reimposed and now there will be a nighttime curfew so from a typical no it's till 6 o'clock in the morning the people will have to stay with us they got a very good reason for example working in an essential service but some things do remain shots museums restaurants bars on cultural centers and that is why there was a big protest here in central paris so many people gathered on the steps of the paris opera house they are workers from the restaurants and bars and cultural centers like the oprah house here in paris they are upset place say that they are

not being allowed to reopen mid december that is what they had hoped not to see huge numbers of cinemas in theaters that will close its catastrophic burst will no longer be the culture city it was before the lockdown. or similar you can't say one sector is essential and another is not there's no evidence of clusters in theaters and cinemas. the french government says that they won't be able to open it at least until mid january maybe month of march now the reason says the government is because the force is still circulating at rates that are far too high it is too much for risk they are calling these industries nonessential services but of course for these people who come to protest it's extremely upset because they are worried about a lot of units. well across the atlantic the number of deaths linked to 1000 and the u.s. has now passed 300000 that figure was reached on the same day the largest about snakes in campaign in the country's history began medical whackos were among the fast to be immunized with the biotech vaccine but health officials are warning that

it could all get much west before it gets better. reports from washington d.c. . never before has the nation been so caught up in watching a delivery packed up shipped out and flown to it's just a nation's all under the watchful eyes of security usually anonymous workers now celebrated but i'm very hopeful. happy to. let the healing begin. these are the 1st coronavirus vaccines from pfizer almost 3000000 doses shipped out across the country and it led to very unusual live television it's not often you hear this when anyone gets a shot. here what happened today. yes state governors from kentucky to colorado new york to louisiana waiting to see them arrive with this you. start to see our ability to preserve water to protect

our people we are going to be told it starts right there. one of the 1st shots watched on live television intensive care nurse in new york who wanted to send a message right over florida beginning and very painful time in our history. i want to instill public confidence that the american spirit is say all of these made for t.v. moments meant to let people know that the vaccine is safe and everyone should take it when they can as polls show as many as 50 percent of adults say they won't there's also a question about how long it will take to have enough vaccine for all. americans show right now you should use the 1000000 for a visionary message it already has been manufactured and you're also taking it next year will be 1300000000 and we're going to make much we haven't got the 1300000000

cities our commitment to the world but yet we're going to make much another vaccine from the company madeira is expected to get approval later this week that will increase supply and experts say they think that that means by the spring every american who wants to get the vaccination will be able to find one it's a positive news but it comes a very grim day as it's announced that the u.s. has now lost 300000 people because of covert and experts say without big changes it's only going to continue to get worse. al-jazeera washington. meanwhile their health experts in the united states say the coronavirus condiment has led to the largest exodus of senior public health officials in american history some say they've been the target of political activists conservative groups and anti vaccination campaign as we've all united around common goals for the reports. protesters in the u.s. state of idaho gather outside a public health meeting they say they oppose the mandatory wearing of masks some

health officials say they face similar demonstrations during the coronavirus pandemic if you haven't figured it out by now this whole thing with. tissue coleman is the linn county public health administrator in the state of kansas she says she struggled to keep her rural county safe from coated 90 my friendship lasts has decreased and i just i don't have. it's not that important to me to be friends with someone who's going to be so against trying to protect the public because they don't want to be told to do something at least 181 health workers in 38 states have resigned retired or have lost their job since april experts say it's the largest exodus of public health officials in american history this is a ranger any you know you know where it's. really great now

now linda vale is the health officer in michigan she's received letters at home calling her a communist and a fascist but she says she won't resign some clearly have made that decision and they're not easy decisions to make because this is not a job that you want to leave during the midst of a pandemic there is an entire community of people that are out there depending on you and with the biggest back situation campaign in the country's history and a way that may be more true now than ever before victoria gate to be al jazeera well as plenty more ahead for you this news hour including well territory sites under threat how stability in libya could help bring a new lease of life to these 2000 year old for its. own despite accusations of vote for a gang and violating the constitution as you can see kenny's president is now being sworn in for a controversial. and open players get ready to embark on

a new era all the latest football coming up with sara and school. faction of boko haram has claimed responsibility for the abduction of hundreds of school boys and northern nigeria the students were taken on friday from a boarding school in katsina stays there are concerns that the government has not been up front about the real number of those abducted and says it's negotiating with what they're calling armed bandits. remember back in 2014 about iran kidnapped more than 276 girls in chibok this time the group's faction says it's abducted more than 500 boy now if confirmed that will be the largest number of people the group has abducted in a single rains the parents of the missing children had been staging protests demanding the return of the students 11 that did not we want government to risk your children because they have the capacity to do so but their actions are snow

because it is not their children that are involved in the incident they put us in the situation not parents and grandparents are an absolute confusion they've stopped us from having peace of mind we are totally said well that's not an editor as he is across all of us for us from the bridges and that can you tell us just what do we know about who has these boys and where exactly they are. when it's difficult to say where exactly they are we understand that the group has been on the move since the day or since the night they were taken from can kind of and the been moving from one forest to the other climbing rocks and mountains according to witnesses who escaped the must subduction what they're telling the media and what they're telling government officials and getting the state so it's difficult to say exactly where there are there are rumors but they've been moved from in a state deep into the forest in some for

a state where over the last 7 years we have seen how. security has deteriorated with bandits attacking communities and displacing hundreds of villages and. rendering a lot of people homeless so that's the situation right now that's what we're hearing and the government hasn't clarified any more information or given more any more information of what they've been speaking over the past few days and usually we were told that only a few does. and students were abducted the need later turned out that they were more the governor of cuts in a state was talking about 333 and now witnesses are even claiming that the number is much higher than that because the school had more than 800 boarding students and on the night of the abduction on the following the following morning after the night of the abduction more than 200 students were reportedly rescued or have come

back to school before the school was finally shut so if you do you had more than 800 students in a school and only 200 have come back than definitely more than 500 are left and accounted for but quite on me saying that it's holding more than 520 of them if that is classified or doctors confirm that subtly this will be the most the biggest abduction since this conflict or the book crisis began 11 years ago and i met with those numbers this also really means a huge expansion about iran intends on its operations to. exactly if you graphically if you look at the northwest niger is well void you can link up through the north east but it's a very very. significant development in book white arms competing in northeast nigeria nigeria as a whole the major attacks we've witnessed by boko haram was in kind of state and that has seized more than 5 years ago and occasionally we hear about some of the

auctions but on a smaller scale kidnappings for ransom by book or around then they go back to the movies and finance the operations which of course was confirmed by some security officials to us about 2 years ago that they probably said they suspect that boko haram is probably involved in some of these kidnappings and displacements in the northwest of the country but this is the biggest however following statement from book wire around that they waited 72 hours to confirm that they're holding the school children or the 2 because they wanted to be sure that they have secured the school children looks to me like the abduction must have to complete or other must have been conducted the raid must have been conducted by another group who probably sold of the school children to bokhara for a bigot compete or for some money but is looking for evidence it's actually walking hard to show that despite its losses in the north east it's student relevant in the

scheme of things in nigeria and then address following that story for us from the nigerian capital a bridge that thank you so much on that well we can now also speak to so he is a journalist and security analyst and he joins us from nigeria's commercial capital lagos so i mean this is obviously as have been saying reminding everyone of what happened in chibok and 2014 back then though it felt somehow like there was a big outcry and now we're talking about hundreds more children than back then do you think that there's a less attention this time round. well i think it is a shame that this is happening at the time that a lot of people have been asking the president mohamed hard to step up its campaign that it is the terror group don't forget that nigerians are still at a loss at the exact amounts are number of people that have been kidnapped so now this is the 1st sign we're getting to see it but more and make an incursion into

niger is not the west in a very big and a dangerous way are there just because this is also happening in cuts in a state at a time the president or the visit in his home state so the talk of the question here around now as to why and all boys school is that but where i am it is trying to recruit more members. it's our force because as it stands at the moment this boys who are that have returned were not truly rescued i couldn't have parents and very talented those are the ones who run into the bushes they have returned home and numbering about 200 at the moment so that the worry it now is that their longer these young boys are in the hands of books or on deep sleep now but chances of getting demarest used of course so i'm on this suggestion from our correspondent there that book around may have gotten these children from

other groups who actually carried out the initial abduction is that a reflection potentially of changing tactics him. i think i don't agree it is not far from what some people are already saying in don't forget that initially about government as ruler of president bashar a spokesman got about showed they say they had contact with the keep up or to go there and that because we are just the bandits who are holding sway in and i guess not western region perhaps they automatically sold them off to vote or and that is why before i mean just finally spoke and out and figure released by one faction of that terror group. isn't looking good for the country but we're adman has now you know inflated his army but haven't these young ones that well or timothy be radicalized and sold

a different brand or far really just had it set which is not intended with that did muslim fish so on and what are nigerians then making of the reaction from the high and i you mentioned he visited his father i mean that's very much in the same area just shortly after the kidnapping but not actually the students families and the presence he said that he wasn't yet aware of what happened then and how is that all going to have. i think the front pages of daily news today outcry lot of people asking questions if president bush ari is truly in charge if you was in a best that the capital of nigeria when this happened no one would have expected him to face it but he was home and nobody has seen here and there speak to any of the parents or pay a visit will concur of that age instead we have seen a viral video of this is then he's run which has actually caused

a lot of you know outrage in and i jerry so the question now is that how soon are we likely to get an exact figure of the number of boys kidnapped and how soon is the government going to swing into action to get them rescued keep in mind a book or am does not truly have what you call it net for ransom instead it's in extreme to of command is offer and members of the book are and will likely not going to see that any kind of rescue from the government side they dissed looks like what we've seen before in trying to 14 with it you block out those so i'm on i led a there a journalist and security analyst speaking to us from lagos great to get your thoughts here on out as there well the following a story very very close indeed thanks don. thank you dozens of unesco science that have been damaged are at risk now of using their world heritage status

in the 1st of a 5 part series we visit the ancients abroad ruins on libya's mediterranean coast fighting there has left the site neglected by local communities but as malik trainer reports peace talks could help change that. established by the phoenicians in the 4th century b.c. the coastal city of so brought was used as a trading post that served as an outlet for trade from africa it was later ruled by the new 1000000 kingdom of mass and on to rome rebuilt it in the 2nd and 3rd centuries a.d. . today from a distance it looks like it's endured the violence libya has witnessed for nearly a decade. but close up are signs of the conflict. the conflict in libya between the internationally recognized government of national court for g.n.a.t. and warlord police to have 2 years libyan national army l in a letter to unesco to put subrata and 4 others on its list of endangered world

heritage sites so brought to was controlled by forces loyal to have to during his failed military campaign to capture the capital but the tripoli based government retook the city in april yeah. unfortunately the city of subprocess has seen several armed conflicts in the last decade the ruins were hit during the fighting but thank god there was only minor damage to the theater. but now brought as crown jewel a 5000 seat theater has survived and stands 3 stories tall built by the romans nearly 2000 years ago it's a testament to the history and culture this country on the southern shores of the mediterranean has officials here 30000 of the foreign tourists use the come and visit but the years long conflict and political divisions have had a devastating impact on the 3rd of them sector and of course there's also the pandemic for now besides

a few local families heritage sites like this remain for the most part abandoned but some still come. we live in tripoli with cave at 19 we're all a bit depressed so i brought my kids here to see the history of their country and to get some fresh air the lack of attention and funding by authorities is clear and we all hope the fighting will end and we can have security and economic stability in our country i hope that those in power realize how important developing our historical sites are it could create jobs and give young men an incentive to leave their weapons behind. with un facilitated talks between the rival sides ongoing many here hope stability will be achieved however long that takes and with that a new lease of life for libya's historic sites malik traina al-jazeera subrata. it is now time for the weather. there was

a total solar eclipse yesterday visible from south america in fact this satellite picture you see the shadow going across the top of yes cloud it was a fairly calley picture for many even where it was cloudy as in central you could see it briefly get pretty dark i mean went to not as you spec the solar eclipse well we're left with a sunny picture now for almost all of chile in argentina a little cooler that might have been the cool has moved northward several problems a pretty big showers probably tomorrow in paraguay i move across into southern brazil rather fewer in bolivia or indeed peru so we've got a bit of a hiatus in the wet season it is potentially wet in western colombia but you know also that apart from a few daily showers and when we douse it's a drive to can picture the caribbean the next cold front out of the u.s. comes down when 0 problems and biggest showers in southern mexico or otherwise are spared marriage and cold has been the thing in the u.s. as you well know the cult getting further and further south the real cold still held over the great lakes and in fact as

a result of windy and cold weather over lake superior in wisconsin the articles are still there the wind has died down we're going to see that cold weather continue of the next days just look at these temperatures right there it's the sas coast colder than they should be. still ahead here here on al-jazeera later in the news hour we'll have more on how about eclipse abroad welcome relief to thousands who gathered to view it and chile and argentina. we hear from the forest tribes who have had their homes to demolished and say their livelihoods and traditions are at risk. we'll hear from the australian camp ahead of their highly anticipated test series against india. gate calm and make sure you're not hyping the situation be part of the debate my main characters are women when no topic is off the table the law is in the last

allow our child marriage to happen legally these are basically archaic walls they are often legitimize and legalize pedophiles. online jump into the conversation and leaching to be part of the discussion the stream on out is there a. warm hostile and half lebanese diversity is really important to me and al-jazeera is the most diverse place i've ever worked it's we have so many different nationalities and this is seems pull together in this one use organization and this diversity of perspectives is reflected in our coverage giving a more accurate representation of the world we report on and that's a key strength of al-jazeera. the.

hello again i'm a saucy attainder let's remind you about top stories this hour germany's chancellor angela merkel has announced that a european union vaccine should be approved before christmas euro fisting a drastic rise in corona virus case. now the number of covered 1000 deaths in the u.s. has cost 300000 as the biggest vaccination campaign in the country's history gets underway medical work as an elderly care home residents are being prioritise that. the faction of book around has claimed responsibility for the abduction of hundreds of school boys in northern nigeria it comes as the government announced it's negotiating with what it's described as armed bandits. us a democracy has prevailed that was the message from president elect joe biden shortly

after the electoral college for many validated his victory in the election and just in the last hour russian president vladimir putin has become the latest one of the data to congratulate biden on his when she had returned to reports from wilmington delaware for joseph or biden of delaware a democrat. i 65 knows the role. california is electoral college vote made it official joe biden is the president elect and in the end the formal tally of the states joe biden won in the november election was the procedural affair it normally is across the country electors in states that biden flipped from the republicans cost less states votes for the president elect joseph r. biden has received $16.00 votes under the u.s. constitution the president isn't chosen by the popular vote but by the $538.00 electors of the electoral college however usually they follow the majority vote in each of their states as part of the trump campaign's efforts to overturn the

election results efforts were made to subvert that process they have actors have none honestly cast 16 votes for joseph r. biden but even in michigan one of several states where electors were given a police escort the vote was conducted without surprise and eventually 306 electors across the country voted for biden 232 for trump soon after joe biden made a national address calling for the page to be terms 306 electoral votes is the same number of electoral votes that donald trump vice president parents received when they won in 2060. me at the time president callers elect the electoral college tally a landslide why is our own standards these numbers represented. a clear victory van and i respectfully suggest they do so now if nothing else some wonder whether this rough focus on the electoral college might lead to more discussion about

whether the u.s. will use should be allowed directly to vote for president i myself disagree that we still need an electoral college to certify our election results and we should really lived into our principle in this country of one person one vote and make sure that we honor the popular vote when americans vote for president on election day as the electoral college finalized biden's victory throughout the day trump tweeted about election fraud he has repeated he will fight on in the courts but it's not clear what his motivation is at this point the electoral college votes will now be sent to the u.s. congress where they will be counted and certified on january the 6th there are reports that some republicans may attempt a last ditch style and at that point which have nothing else will be a symbolic moment that will help a narrative that many from supporters still believe that this election has been stolen however the polls also show that a majority of americans do feel that it's time to move on she had her town see al-jazeera wilmington delaware and now the attorney general of the u.s.

has resigned and will step down next week when you fall out of favor with donald trump this month after he failed to support the president's unfounded claims of election fraud thoughts and his resignation lessa boss said the allegations would still be if a suit and trump history said that their relationship had been a very good. guinea's incumbent president alpha condé is now being sworn in for a 3rd term it's off to a controversial election that saw him win almost 60 percent of the voters but his opponents say the vote was rigged and that condé a violation of the constitution by running for a 3rd term dozens of people have been killed in anti-government demonstrations there in recent months and the opposition is about to continue those protests but our correspondent nicholas hawk is following events for us from neighboring senegal he joins me now nic i know they were running a little behind schedule in conakry today but i see condi is finally now been sworn in again. that's right ceremony that's taking place

tight security of course present during this inauguration or other presidents have the state of neighboring countries among them 5 other presidents just like alpha condé above the age of 70 some above the age of 18 just like they all of them running for reelection and among them allison want to just like alpha condé tweak the constitution to run a 3rd mandate down absent for this inauguration or get into exile and we're here in a neighborhood in the car in the mideast neighborhood which is home to up to 3000000 gideon's who live in senegal because the borders are closed between senegal and guinea the haven't been able to vote in this election nor have they been able to. witness this inauguration if you talk to many of the people who live here they say. this there's a feeling of deja vu yesterday we saw the inauguration of president alassane

ouattara it's yet again for them another aging president clean don't suppose we're holding as they say the nation hostage and stealing the wealth of the nation that's the feeling among many young canadians here. that's how they feel towards alpha condé of course there's protest on the streets of concrete there's a heavy military presence here despite all of this the ceremony has taken place and they will be in his ninety's by the time he finishes his mandate. following events for us from dot com thanks so much nic well let's stick into this now as. she is the president and c.e.o. of the africa international media group and she joins us now from paris was this in your mind always going to be a bit of a done deal here. well you know the ad to to do this after is before and after the election so before election i consider it the time

for position to showcase whatever they have to showcase and to get to to take the attention of the media because that's a media slot for them which they don't have afterwards at the village ection as soon as the president is sworn in that back about go there comes the time for the president you know times for power and you will see many things happening right now which are the president was not able to do because he was fighting for us to do to get a 3rd term so people expect now many thanks crust that upon an opposition members who are jailed or are in the hauser rest are in custody or in somehow harrah's will have will be released a 2nd thing is that he will tackle the problem the many problems people expect him

to tucker because he see that the whole debate by the 30 was at some point over he checked but not so bad much because people if that happened in court of law too and that happened in other countries where before election the debate was raging but afterwards i just feel well it's a game of politicians that this president and maybe a wanted a change but i didn't have the change the person is not so important what we really need is jobs we need economy to work again we need to our lives to be improved so that's what it would be very crucial that he eat a piece of the tensions for us and then that he tackles. the the needs of the people. mad at will quite over you mention these tensions and there were

something like more than 300 arrests in the aftermath of the election ahead of today's ceremony now i wonder you say they're still in prison and you expect their release but where will this anti-government sentiment go now that he's been sworn in again will we potentially see more protests or has the crackdown that we've seen so far has that stifle dissent yes the crackdown would be important and you know very symbolic. the more than the president is sworn in he gets some kind of legitimacy or whether you want it or not the institutions work for him the military works for him everything works fine and so the protests will be. calmed down in a way memory problem what accept him really as a leader what they will have to live with it and that will always happen i mean whenever you have such kind of situation it's difficult we saw that in one a we saw that in congo we saw that in can result in so many crimes in chat you know

they're still in a position and. the time where the opposition is intelligent and clever this it ok we miss it this back let's see how we can make it better next step and the not i judge the fact that they don't have the ability to change things right now they're within one of them to be and then they will try to be an official position sort marie was a i do want to ask you though very briefly do you feel like there's been accountability or that there will be accountability for the behavior of the security services that we saw in the aftermath of the election and that very bloody crackdown. yes it was spiritually bloody and you know the work of n.g.o.s and. civil service civil society will be now not to overturn election results which they can are but to see to that there is some kind of accountability

and that the president willing to to go into that because he now you have now secured his and he wants to show some sign of. you know reconciliation and appeasement so it's likely that there will be some steps in in that direction not really not as much as we could expect because he wants to retain power and sure that he's a one to decide and that you better not try to me again and that demonstrates in the in the street and door riots so we will not be fully pardoned mary-rose there below are there the president and c.e.o. of the africa international media group always great to get your thoughts here on out of there thanks for being with us again you're welcome our somalia has cut diplomatic ties with kenya saying it's constantly violated its sovereignty in securing its neighbor of political interference in juba lands that's one of
