actually feels if you were there we understand the differences and see the cultures across the world so no matter what we. are going to matter to you. al jazeera. you're watching the news hour live from our headquarters in doha and coming up in the next 60 minutes european countries purse for the covert 1000 vaccine developed by pfizer to be approved for years and as they struggle to contain the virus. killed today i want to congratulate. the day after the u.s. on a tour of college made president elect joe biden's victory official

a change in attitude from the senate's top republican. neighbors odds so malia cuts diplomatic ties with kenya after president obama hosts the leader of so my. fear is that a giant iceberg is on a collision course with an island in the south atlantic and could destroy a wildlife haven and install south korea's kim has stunned the gulf and the world the world number 94 winning the u.s. open on her terms debbie. thanks for joining us countries and the european union may be able to begin with 1000 vaccinations before yours and the agency that approves the block's drugs is expected to deliver its decision on the pfizer biotech vaccine next week the e.u. has been pressuring the a.m.a. to speed up the approval pro. says much of the continent battles with another wave

of the virus so let's look at the rate of infection this was the situation 2 months ago lots of that dark red colors show high rates of infection now take a look nearly whole the whole continent is dark red the european center for disease control says any more than $120.00 cases per 100000 is critical so every country except finland norway iceland and ireland is on the highest level and serbia georgia croatia and lithuania have the highest infection rates but turkey russia germany italy and the u.k. have reported the most cases in the past 14 days with turkey recording more than 400000 cases let's get an update from the team baba he's following the latest developments in europe and he's joining us from brussels and where do things stand with the post by e.u. countries to get that vaccine quickly and speed up the approval process.

well during as you said things have actually moved quickly it's been workin by the president of the european commission on the lion saying that it's likely that european citizens will get a vaccine some of them anyway by the end of this year now the european medicines agency the e.u. would regulate body has brought forward a decision on the pfizer vaccine developed in germany to december the 21st vest sets to to give the go ahead and now a group of e.u. countries have actually said they're going to coordinate the launch the rollout of their vaccination programs italy germany france belgium luxembourg the netherlands spain and switzerland so all of those countries saying we're going to do this in a coordinated way to try to make people feel like it's fair like they have the same kind of access of course we have seen other countries roll out that vaccine with differing priorities the job. government had put pressure on the m

a to hurry up and now they've done so they're going to be extremely pleased that they can start to vaccinate people germany says it's ready to vaccinate up to $4000000.00 people before the end of december there because it is a pretty dire situation across the most of europe person that's with a high rate of an faxon's that seem. absolutely as you were just talking about in the introduction the rates of worrying people across the continent with hospitals under. new pressure we're hearing that the chancellor of germany angela merkel has warned members of her conservatives january and february we will be tough months with hospitalizations rising germany is bringing in a national lockdown on wednesday in the netherlands they're already into a new lockdown for 5 weeks prime minister router telling the population that in his words it's necessary to bite through this very sour apple before things get better

well of course the vaccination program hopefully will be part of making things better but also urging people to follow the rules and not to to go overboard at christmas here in belgium the government is saying that it is not ruling out that it could bring in new measures as soon as friday even though shops have just reopened on tuesday bars and restaurants are staying closed so the message from governments around the continent is please be responsible over the next few weeks so that things don't get so much worse in january and on words all right and zimbabwe reporting from brussels thank you and adding words on a whole has latest from london on the new restrictions coming into effect there at midnight. tonight i mean spiraling rates of infection around the london area and the southeast in some places infection rates doubling in 7 days we're told that there is this particularly virulent variant of the virus that's been identified in

part responsible for that fast uptick in infections and then this rather in congress situation where the government is lifting all restrictions for a 5 day period over christmas to allow families to get together in their homes to mix together and it sparked real concern about what comes down the line beyond christmas possibly a 3rd wave in january maybe even a 3rd lockdown real criticism aimed at the government not least on tuesday for 2. preeminent medical journals in this country both internationally respected that have issued a very rare joint editorial warning the government of what is at stake here saying simply that if people do get together people will die most likely elderly relatives predicting that the caseload for the national health service after christmas will be 40 times higher than it was at the beginning of the 2nd lockdown back in the autumn and urging the government not to blunder it says into another era so a lot of these voices now aimed at the government urging change the government has

not given any indication that it's about to make a u. turn essentially to cancel christmas though it sounds like there might be some tweaks in the offing the government and the other nations of the u.k. discussing the possibility of tweaking these rules and one minister earlier on in the day admitting that look all coronavirus measures are under review all the time while france is also easing some assets covered 1000 restaurants sense that's also about lawyers in paris a war on what's changing over the past few weeks the french government has been miffed restrictions. a few weeks ago but today the french government is really lifting the main restraints and that is on people's movement so people can now travel all over the country. the permits however where some restrictions are been lifted 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 go to very good reason for example working in an essential service but some things do remain

shots museums restaurants bars on cultural centers not is why there was a big protest here in central paris 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 they say that they are not being allowed to reopen december that is what they hoped not to see huge numbers of cinemas in theaters that will close its catastrophic will no longer be the culture city it was before the lockdown because. 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 infinite least until mid january maybe a 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 who through these people who come to protest

it's extremely upset because they are worried about their livelihoods the world health organization says it requires $5000000000.00 for its kovacs vaccine facility to buy doses for low income countries it's also pfizer to include the covert $1000.00 vaccine as part of an early global rollouts the health agency has secured only a fraction of the 2000000000 doses it hopes to buy over the next decades the w.h.o. created the kovacs initiative to ensure poor and middle income countries have access to the vaccines while developing in this tribute saying a vaccine is very expensive as part of operation war speed the united states has spent $18000000000.00 on vaccines the cost includes distribution and stores. airlines have offered to fly in doses of pfizer's vaccine from brussels so hire a boeing triple 7 it would cost about $26000.00 an hour the world health organization hopes to raise $35000000000.00 for its kovacs vaccine. is charging

around $20.00 per dose the real hope for the world rests on astra zeneca which is being distributed for $3.00 under a deal between the u.n. and the gates foundation india's serum institute to a manufacturer of doses for low and middle income countries at a cost of $3.00 and the moderna over $1000.00 vaccine is a step closer to being approved by american regulators the u.s. food and drug administration issued a report saying the vaccine is highly effective and did not raise any major concerns it would be the 2nd to be approved for use in the u.s. after the pfizer bio and tech vaccine was given the green light. a day after the electoral college confirmed joe biden's victory in the u.s. presidential election a key question in washington is whether that will change republican opinions of the president elect's so the top u.s. senate republican mitch mcconnell has congratulated presidents like joe biden and

his running mate harris on there when his public recognition comes one day after the electoral college formally validated november's presidential election electoral college. vote so today i want to congratulate president elect joe biden the president elect is no stranger to the senate he's devoted himself to public service for many years i also want to congratulate device for example like our colleague from california said to her beyond our differences all americans can project or a mission as a female vice president. for the very 1st so let's bring in alan fischer he's joining us from the white house so then is this a signal from mcconnell to the republican party that the game is over. well the signal will come from donald trump to many of those in the republican party mitch mcconnell only speaks for a small part of them he said only sweeten the pill of declaring joe biden the

winner by talking beforehand before that statement about how well donald trump had done with this 4 years in office how he'd made trade deals with canada and mexico how he'd defeated eisold in the middle east how he'd come to peace deals in the middle east how he'd developed the economy in the united states but then he delivered a statement saying that joe biden won the election i mean really after the electoral college and i say it's fair that on monday when it became clear that joe biden had actually won a couple of senior republicans and said yeah well we'll we know acknowledge that joe biden is the president elect but there are still some holdouts still some not exempting their result one of those of course is donald trump just on his twitter feed in the last couple of hours he said that he's getting evidence of widespread fraud so there's no sign that he's about to concede the election something that drew the ire of chuck schumer who's the leader of the democrats in the senate who said for the benefit of democracy in the united states it was time that donald

trump acknowledge the reality of the situation for the sake of the country president trump should take his cue from leader mcconnell that it's time to end his term with a modicum of grace and dignity qualities that his predecessors took great pains to display during our grand tradition of a peaceful transfer of power enough is enough our republican colleagues for the sake of our democracy for the sake of the peaceful transition of power. should stop the shenanigans stop the misrepresentations and acknowledge that joe biden will be our next president what is interesting of course is that mitch mcconnell's acknowledgment that joe biden won the election came after many world leaders had already called him can offer their congratulations and just a few hours before mitch mcconnell spoke with put in the president of russia acknowledging that joe biden was the president elect and will be taking office in

january there's a press briefing underway at the moment in the briefing room not far from where i'm standing will we get something from the podium that suggests that donald trump is about to accept the result don't you believe he's got one eye already on january the 6th an important day because that's when there's a joint meeting of congress to essentially validate the electoral college vote he still believes there will be enough republicans there who are who will rebel and say we don't accept this result something has to be done that's simply not going to happen but what don't trump does between no and january the 20th well the world is watching yeah ok allan thank you very much for that update from just outside the white house so let's now bring in eric ham he's the author of the g.o.p. civil war he's joining us from washington d.c. thanks for being with us once again so mcconnell the claw lodging joe biden is the president elect well the floodgates now open for more republicans to do the same thing. that's exactly what will happen today what we saw from mitch mcconnell the

2nd most powerful republican in washington gave a signal to the rest of his caucus that now joe biden officially becomes the president elect and that on january 6th the senate along with other congressional republicans on in the house and the senate will now be able to ratify this electoral college victory for joe biden and come away but hang on a 2nd i mean can republicans find a way to challenge the results on that very important january 6th joint session of congress to certify their like oh yes in fact sure we do know one congressman from missouri has already signaled that he will do just that but again kevin mccarthy who is the house minority leader has already suggested that this is something that he will not go along with so clearly republican leadership both in the house and senate have already signaled that joe biden is president elect they will not

continue to whip or continue to ferment any disk or or allow any continued confusion that perhaps joe biden is not in so i think even though you will have some members who will do that it certainly will not be enough to halt the ratification of this election but everyone will be looking to see what the president himself does president trump and so far he said nothing so how frustrated is he going to be with all of this and mcconnell's acknowledgement or do you anticipate him conceding. no i don't believe the president will ever concede in fact the president simply will not do that but what mitch mcconnell is doing is much mcconnell is making a calculated decision that he has to not only continue to govern but he also has to throw a lifeline to all. the moderates that he is willing to at least abide by the process because he does recognize that he's got 2 senate

republicans who are still running for election and so there is this continued effort this continued narrative that somehow like sions are rigged or elections somehow don't matter that only places a greater burden on those senate republicans and that runoff and of course we know that will determine not only the balance of power in the senate but the balance of power in washington so mitch mcconnell is looking to that race and he's also giving a signal not only to his caucus but to republicans in georgia that they can actually take comfort it can take solace that elections do matter elections do have consequences and more importantly come out and vote for these republicans to ensure that mitch mcconnell maintains the gavel in the senate and this signal from mcconnell to the republicans that hey listen the you know this game. might be over at this point presumably this is something that joe biden and his team needed to

and wanted to hear. certainly what this does is this allows joe biden to continue to move forward with their lease making an effort to try to unify the country but more importantly joe biden recognizes even if democrats when these 2 runoff seats it's going to be a very divided senate democrats lost seats in the house so he is going to have to work across the aisle to get his agenda passed not only his agenda but also his cabinet so he recognizes that there is going to have to be outreach to be other side all right eric thank you thanks very much for joining us on al-jazeera. thank you here's what's coming up on the news hour a faction of boko haram says it was behind the abduction of hundreds of school children in northern nigeria. we hear from the forest tribes who had their homes demolished and say their livelihoods and traditions are at risk. in sport could there be 2 winners when the host city for

the 2030 asian games is announced sun is here the dot story and the later. i. saw a function of boko haram has claimed responsibility for the abduction of hundreds of school boys in northern nigeria students were taken on friday from a boarding school in could see in a state their concerns the government has not been upfront about the real number of those abducted it says it's negotiating with what it calls armed bandits well in 2014 boko kidnap more than 276 girls in chibok and this time the group's faction says it's abducted more than 500 boys if confirmed it will be the largest number of people the group has taken in recent times the parents of the missing children have staged protests there demanding the return of their children. 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 absolute confusion they've stopped us from having peace of mind we are totally sad by this race has more from a boozer. we understand that the group has been on the move since the day or since the night they were taken from 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 telling the media with the telling government officials and kids in the state so it's difficult to say exactly where there are there are rumors that they've been moved from in a state deep into the forest in some from 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 and usually we were told that only a few dozen students were abducted the need later turned out that they were more the governor of kut in austin 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 shot so if you had more than 800 students in a school and only 200 have come back then definitely more than 500 are left and accounted for both quite i mean 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 quite a crisis began 11 years ago. as a journalist on security analyst and he says they kidnap always will most likely be used for recruitment purposes and not as a bargaining chip for the government. we get in to see bogart make an incursion into not serous not west in a very big. way that just because this is also happening in cats in a state of the time the president was visiting his home state so the talk of the question around now as why and all boys school is that that book or i'm is trying to recruit more men because. it's false because as it stands at the moment this boys. that have returned were not truly rescued i couldn't or parents there returned and those are the ones who run into the bushes they have every turn number in about 200 other them and. the worry is

now that they're long that these young boys are in the hands of bush or on the sleeve now the chances of getting them rescued. as best isn't looking good for the country boko haram has now you know inflated vests isn't looking good for the country boko haram has now you know inflated his army by having these young ones that will ultimately be radicalized and sold a different brand of religious tenets which is not in tandem with him aslan fits somalia has cut diplomatic ties with kenya it's accusing its neighbor of political interference the decision by kenya's president to host the leader of iran has strained relations even more somalia has recalled all of the permits from kenya and

ordered their counterparts to leave within 7 days welcome was more nairobi. that election is happening next month is based on a fragile agreement between the leaders of those 5 so you autonomous and president came here to visit nairobi kenya spoke to the government returned back to somalia and the somali government then said the president a jubilant or negative on the electoral agreement and blamed kenyan interference for that now just 2 days ago the president of another region somaliland came here to nairobi and that's been followed by further allegations by the somali government of interference by kenya that's what led to this latest move with them cutting all diplomatic ties but this is the latest in a series of diplomatic disputes between the 2 countries began nearly 2 years ago those disputes were initially about

a maritime border dispute over which country gets to control substantial offshore oil was the more recent this be based around somalia accusations of kenya interfering in its forthcoming election well let's take a closer look at somalia land it how it fits into this dispute some other than the situated on the horn of africa and borders djibouti it's a self declared state but no foreign governments recognize it as an independent country it broke away from somalia in 1901 warlords toppled dictator mohamed siyad bahrain carving the country interpersonal clown's talks about hell to discuss unification but the parties have been unable to reach a breakthrough some ali land has managed to maintain its own independent government currency and security system omar mahmood is a senior analyst covering sawyer for the international crisis group and he says that the growing tensions could have serious consequences. i think it very much

relates to electoral dynamics the premature administration in mogadishu feels that kenya has been supporting the political opposition whether that and my dog and your will and whether that's somaliland itself or whether that's the political candidates that are running against of them a lot of them have been based in nairobi have their campaigns based there before some of them traveled to mogadishu recently so i think it is very much ties with internal somali politics and election dynamics and in terms of somalia trying to put pressure on kenya to maybe really reassess those relationships the ramifications can be quite serious so 1st of all the region when it comes to somalia is quite divided right now you have kenya on one side if you will be on the other and we seeing these proxy dynamics kind of play out in somalia with damaging effects you throw a competitive electoral process on top of that in which different candidates are seeking different external allies and so this adds another layer of division to

that i think one big unanswered question is the future of kenya security participation in somalia as well kenya has a number of troops as part of the african union mission in somalia any sort of change or quick push to to remove those troops would have quite devastating security consequences i don't think that's something easy and then maybe not exactly where mogadishu administration is scoring poor we can't rule out that as well and in need to consider all of the dynamics that play still has on the news hour warnings that malnutrition related to the pandemic could kill more than a 100 children a day over the next the. world heritage sites under threat how stability in libya could help bring a new lease of life to these 2000 year old women. in sport india and australia get ready to play test cricket for the 1st time since it. and if i was locked down.
