a challenge for people to keep the necessary distance and many people are too poor to afford personal protective equipment including mosques so that's one set of problem i think a 2nd set is or european clubs is the difficult balance to strike between the economy and public health so half the population is the and but on daily income and of course the old forties are reluctant to shop things down because that would have a devastating and quick economic impact india is likely to have to spend up to $1800000000.00 on the 1st phase of code 900 that seems that's according to the global vaccine alliance gavi india has the world's 2nd highest caseload and plans to create 300000000 people live the next 6 to 8 months a plan because 600000000 shots in the best case scenario the country would receive up to $250000000.00 doses of a vaccine under the global kovacs facility meaning the government would need at

would tackle it it had in a way left out this community these workers they were living in cramped conditions they were living in dormitories where many of them share a room they were sleeping in bunk beds physical distancing was extremely difficult in those circumstances it's no surprise that an at that academics have described this pandemic as a pandemic of inequality and that's how corona virus infections woods cases were able to spread so quickly among this community even now with singapore having accumulatively confirmed more than 58000 cases migrant workers make up more than 90 percent of that number now in the singapore government response has been extremely swift test and it did and it still does extensive testing market workers living in dormitories are tested about once every 2 weeks and then if they're found to have a corona virus they're isolated they're quarantine or they're treated now and

authorities had also decided very early on when they were tackling the explosion of current virus cases among migrant workers community that the dormitories would have to be sealed off to contain the spread of corona virus and many of these workers are still living under movement restrictions. so to come on the news hour in the 6 years after the shania do attacks a court rules on 14 accused accomplices. back to us china's chong approach returns with its precious cargo rocks from the lunar surface. and sport a new driver is getting ready to take his place on the formula one starting grid. parties to the iran nuclear deal including senior iranian diplomats abound virtual talks to discuss the state of the pact all signatories urged terror on to reverse its violations of the deal which began off to u.s.

president donald trump withdrew in 2018 president elect joe biden says he plans to rejoin the deal once he assumes office. with iran's supreme leader ali khamenei says he still expects the u.s. to remain hostile towards iran our president hassan rouhani isn't excited about biden either matter to me iran. i tell our people if this pressure persists it is from an individual that unfortunately still has a few weeks to go he has been the united states is most lawless president and hopefully he is leaving we are not excited about mr biden taking office but we are very happy to see trump go he committed so many crimes he's a murder a terrorist he even causes problems when he wants to buy a vaccine he's a man without humanity or moral principles we are very happy that this arrogant man who wasn't committed to any pledges has been toppled dosage of ari has more from the capital tehran. there is a lot of discussion inside iran from various officials we also heard from the

supreme leader ayatollah khomeini who said that if these sanctions are removed they shouldn't hesitate for one second he was pointing to the fact that officials who are in favor of dialogue should continue if that is in the national interest in the best interest of the country we heard also in the past 24 hours from the u.s. special envoy on iran abrams who said that the united states now has the upper hand given all the pressure the economic pressure that iran is now under they have a chance to really seize this opportunity to force iran into possibly renegotiating this nuclear deal but officials here have said over the past the point of contention that remains on all sides is iran's ballistic missile program and iranians have said that that is absolutely not up for negotiation the iranians have said that they've done everything there and uphold their side of the way they have

had inspectors from the i.a.e.a. visiting 26 military facilities that are outside the nuclear sites they've given access been unannounced visits those are things that could possibly come to an end given the fact that the parliament has passed a new bill given the remaining signatories of the 2 month period to remove some of the sanctions so there is a sense that time is of the essence and there will be a small window for the incoming u.s. administration to try and remedy the situation. 15 of a group of more than 300 kidnapped nigerian students have been released a spokesman for the governor of the northwestern state of katsina didn't provide any information on the rescue operation. has claimed responsibility for the abduction from the boarding school the president says the government isn't negotiating with the attackers despite previously saying talks were on the way i mean to do as they say is from the boogy he says because her arm is expanding its influence. the return of 50 more students are greeted with

a relieved by communities in gaza and that's in a state however the emergence of these students is still shrouded in mystery a lot of people are saying a lot of some reports are saying that the military rescued them however a lot of witnesses are talking about how the children escaped their abductors and made it to safety now some parents are maintaining vigilant governments can do school insisting that they will be there they will continue to be there until the government and all the authorities rescue their children and return them to their parents safely now there are concerns in the old west in nigeria after the claim bible koran that it's holding more than 520 of these students abducted last friday many communities are now concerned that boko haram has its pounded its very of operations far away from its traditional power base in northeastern nigeria now to the north northwest and now i've been to the existing problems of banditry and

there are going to be another 1100000 people in needs us more than double the number of people in need of assistance just as it was obviously latest fighting but i think one of the things that's really important to remember about ethiopia is that there is a much bigger situation going on here and indeed of course nearly all the countries on what shift we're seeing a triple threat of climate change and actually started out in climate conflict and covert 19 that it live being massive increases and meet that we have a truly unprecedented global situation of 235000000 people and if you mention assistance 85 percent of those are in watches countries and that's because of this triple threat and in ethiopia even before this conflict in takeaway had escalated we had seen the number of people in need in ethiopia double between the start of 2020 and the middle of 2020 and that was primarily due to in 1000 outbreak because of people losing employment and the economic impacts of the pandemic also one of

the real concerns that we have going in 2021 is that the way in which conflicts are being fought we often see a high level of disregard for humanitarian assistance and that can be a level of willingness to target humanitarians or at least not supertax about 10000 civilians in the way that people apply to an international national humanitarian law tragically a colleague of ours was killed in ethiopia last month and we have seen a pattern of attacks on hospitals in several countries where yemen has talked to the international rescue committee imagine see watch list for the 3rd straight year this yemen as a country at greatest risk of catastrophe including famine the country's been plagued by violence since the start of the civil war in 2014 nanometer reports. now consider that most of these no letup in human suffering and it's the method 3000000 people are displaced most live in does something companies like this one surviving

a repeatedly published cartoons of the prophet mohammed the brothers claimed the attack in the name of al qaida. in the following days already coulibaly who had pledged allegiance to eisele shot dead a policewoman and 4 jewish people in a kosher supermarket police killed coulibaly just hours after officers tracked down and killed a co-op brothers who'd been on the run. for survivors of the attacks and relatives of the victims the past 3 and a half months in court have been an emotional and harrowing experience the sun about silly head customers at the coach's supermarket he said he hoped the verdicts would provide some closure but working it was a moment for terrorists a dead voters who supported them were tried and it's a huge relief they were condemned it's. for me and the families of victims who need to grieve when the judge said that without the logistical support of those found guilty the gunman would not have been able to carry out their crimes the defendants

have been given 10 days to appeal natasha bottler al-jazeera paris the chinese space probe has touched back down on earth with the 1st moon rocks brought to earth for decades china 5 probes successful return brings an end to one of the most complicated and challenging missions in china's airspace history the 2 kilogram delivery makes it only the 3rd country to retrieve lunar rock and soil samples and comes more than 40 years since the last collection. as a director of the u.k.'s national space academy joins us by skype from leicester thanks very much indeed for being with us so tell us why these samples are so important. good evening lauren it's great to those who join you know 3 hours ago channel 5 successfully landed in in i'm on go you and the importance of this is that the moon is effectively a time capsule preserving the early history of our solar system and we've had

a samples from the moon back before during those glory years and project a colony 50 years ago there's nearly 400 kilograms of material was bought back but since 976 with 2 reports emissions from the soviet union we've never had these pristine som pools returned to earth since then and the reason why it's so important is that projects apollo with the science that was done transformed our understanding of the moon and its formation we now know pretty pretty much certainty that mars sized object that we call failure collided with the early earth in the in the the the 1st years of the solar system the only time the solar system material spun out in full moon but projects apollo also gave us so many more questions so getting a sample which is untouched you know it's been uncontaminated 2 kilograms of material may sound like a small amount but in terms of planetary science what you can do it with analysis it's a potential treasure trove and how much will china share. well that's

a very good point i think very often there are concerns that is the chinese program done to pretty much in isolation well for years there's been international collaboration with china on part of what's called the u.k. china joint departure in space science and technology sanctioned ministerial level between 2 countries and there are carriers that we will collaborate on in clear areas that we won't because of course you know every country has its own geo political positioning about about what it will collaborate with but i'm delighted to say that in the areas where we can collaborate we have seen very effective data sharing and so although initially on pretty sure that china will keep its samples for its unsigned to look at who the european space agency points of view we have a joint virtual abort here with china we have agreements about how we'll share data and we share data from previous missions so i have full confidence that eventually we will get access to the samples and we'll see international collaboration that will a lot new secrets about the earth moon system because the samples that of come back

from china 5 from a part of the moon which is unexplored by projects and all of it well i mean this what about the u.s. and nasa they're there i understand then they're limited from working directly to the chinese space agency or chinese and companies will that limit what can be learnt from this mission you think. i mean that is true i've just seen a tweet from thomas a book and it's one of nasa senior science administrators are congratulating the china fight i think what's interesting to remember is that even at the height of the of the cold war so i was born in 1968 an arsole you know the cold war it's full depth even then during the height of the space race academic connections were was made and there was pathways for communication and there's a real role for soft diplomacy in keeping those count connections going now of course there's an idealistic way of looking at it you know science and science for the benefit if you rather see robel you are not naive are the realist i know that geopolitical tensions that exist at the moment and the existed in the past but it

is true to say that within certain parameters if we can keep building these scientific exchanges of information between academic communities we can build greater trust looking to the future and of course the science that we're revealing is for all of humanity i mean is there a danger there with a list that that it starts to become a rather than a space collaboration turns into a space race and the dangers associated with that. you know i've seen a lot of speculation about this so what what what i would say you know i've been to china many times and seen many aspects of their spaceflight program it is certainly ambitious and is being used for for for very effective geo political positioning both within china and to the world it's fair to say it's exploration program is relatively young and what they've achieved so far is impressive they have their 1st mission to mars on route at the moment so always a rover land but what they don't have is the sort of decades of experience in this area including the failures that we've had from the european space agency perspective nasa another space agencies and this is also a reason why there's

a real desire for international collaboration not just from the european and other space agencies but also from china's space scientists and academics themselves and so as i say i'm not naive about the challenges we face geopolitically but of course in terms of the science capabilities we can do so much more working in partnership even if it's only in carefully delhi and his side areas. thank you very much and definitely it has national space academy thank you thank you laura. this is the news hour from london still ahead a strain is tera for with china the world trade organization called on to separate the wheat from the chaff. hungry cold and bashed by police migrants surviving on next to nothing because of the dream of a better life. as porter familiar faces heading back to the english premier league .
