only archaic walls dads often legitimize and legalize pedophiles on air online jumping to the quick section and meeting to be part of the discussion this stream on out is there. this is al jazeera. hello and welcome i'm peter dhabi you're watching the news our live from doha coming up in the next 60 minutes the government of central african republic accuses a former president of attempting a coup before elections the un's peacekeeping mission puts troops on high alert. millions of people in england are bracing for tougher restrictions with concerns rising over a new strain of cope with 19 that spreading fast. a harsh winter adds to the misery

of tens of thousands of syrians displaced by war. also ahead we meet the park rangers in zimbabwe who are using brooms to protect animals from poachers. and i'm he said with the support of south korea is also on one day when the asian champions league and india slumped to the lowest innings total in test cricket score in just $36.00 runs as their crushed by australian in adelaide. we begin in the central african republic a nation on the edge just a days before presidential and parliamentary elections in the past few hours the government has accused a former president of attempting a coup it says francois boozy is intending to march in the capital bangui with his men was easy who was in power for 10 years up until 2013 was recently barred from

running in elections because of an international arrest warrants and un sanctions against him the un peacekeepers have been deployed after reports of violence in the lead up to the vote on december the 27th the un secretary general and to a new terrorist has appealed for calm to ensure peaceful and credible elections but ca r.'s 3 main armed groups which control. parts of the country they are joining forces against the government nicholas hong has covered the situation in central african republic extensively he joins us live from senegal if he does decide to go ahead with this threat and march on bondi due to the optics in the run up to this election well the march has actually started now in the name of concert with a himself but we know that 11 armed groups some of the signature of this statement against the president essentially have started deploying their troops have called

on armed groups to head towards the capital bangui and as a result the $12000.00 strong un peacekeeping force have taken position on main arteries leading to the capital so has been deployed the central african republic army that was trained by the russians that is out in the port to try to stop any of these forces from entering the capital just one week before this much anticipated presidential election so why are they all marching towards the capital simply because they say the president is not respecting the agreement that they had signed in $21000.00 in khartoum which was in effect to give these armed groups leaders a position in government but also funds so that they could disarm so that's why they're heading towards the capital now in that statement that we mentioned that was made by these armed groups there is no mention. but the government believes that he is also behind this latest move towards the capital bangui peter

and as far as these 3 groups are concerned i mean they coalescing around one individual and they all genuinely coming together can they stay together because they come from different areas different tribal areas of the country. that's exactly right peter i mean some of the group the u.p.c. is a former select armed group of peers because forces that were fighting each other remember in 2013 they have now united as a common front against the government of. iraq there's also the poll defense group the full army defense group that have joined forces with these are very various factions that have one common interest is to get paid. to disarm but also to have more positions of power remember these armed groups have control

over large territories i mean we're talking about central african republic is the size of france there are some of these armed groups that have control of areas that are the size of wales or scotland we've been in these areas where there is no sign of these 12000 un peacekeeping peacekeeping force nor of the government there it's really these armed groups that are in charge of holding the hostage hundreds of thousands of central african republic. people that are dependent on humanitarian aid and there is the norwegian refugee council mentioned this is one of the most neglected crisis on earth it's very difficult to access these regions to give help to these people and that's what's at stake in this election peter is to try to reestablish the rule of law and the government in places where it has retreated but also come to help to these millions of central african republic people who population that have seen little of their government helping them peter thanks very much to. ok let's take

a look now at the fragile political landscape than it was talking about in central african republic president forced on our shores to adela came to power in 2016 and vowed to pursue peace and unity but he has struggled to contain unrest now his rival the man we've been hearing about here on the news france what was easy was forced from power more than 6 years ago by mostly muslim rebels known as the celica prompting reprisals from christian groups u.n. investigators say large scale killings were carried out by both sides against civilians the subsequent violence worsened the country's ongoing civil war prompting thousands of un peacekeepers to be deployed in 2014 a peace accord signed in february 29th teen between the government and 14 armed groups that's led to a lower level of violence box with armed factions forming a coalition against the government now it's for the country could see a return to wider conflict this forced 4 and a half 1000000 people to flee their homes let's talk now to t.n.t.

vehicle he's a coordinator at the french institute of international relations observatory of central and southern africa he joins us on skype from paris t.r.e. vocal welcome back to the news hour why would anyone try to stage in a thing before the election. well i think they're trying to do that before the election because of the. of the electoral process itself and the electoral process. has been very balance and the presidential party has appear only in big 880 towns who we know the 1st round actually the. presidential party. who are strong and therefore are displayed and they have displayed the now for quite a long time that we know strategy that of course has been.

previously by the fact that pasco who is easy was the main challenger of president where they are. from the electoral race by the constitution we. saw that convinced some of the armed groups president bush is easy and he's a supporter of the actually the electoral competition we lose the electoral. competition of the strong and there won't be room for them and there's won't be a he had communication or wrench meant the president what they are after the election ok that's why this year is a question for you there for a 2nd just to move it on beyond what may prove to be the 1st round of the election if it goes into a 2nd round does that mean that that time period if you run number one and run

number 2 is actually riskier than the coming 8 days from where we are today. well yes i think it will be of course the very dance. between the 2 rounds of elections but the problem present here that the 1st runoff election very compromised and i don't see it up anemia next week because the 27th of december but given the security situation right now it is of course impossible to organize election there has been speculation circulating over the past 10 days 2 weeks or so that the french are watching this obvious for obvious reasons the french are watching this very very closely we're learning that via facebook and also the russians why would the russians if it's a correct allegation why would the russians be looking in on this well i mean they

are russian maisonette raese in the african republic and the there is a russian security advisor who is the president why they aren't actually. russians hall so clearly. they are side being with the president when they are receiving. calls in october on gifts from russia and. bills that are more vehicles in we to send a signal that is good is going to forensic ball. there in paris thank you very much . plenty more still to come for you here on the news hour including. 2 years after sudan's revolution thousands are gathering to demand more reforms will be live in the tool. and bringing sesame street to cox's bazaar the children show creates new markets for education and supports what is the world's biggest

refugee camp. in the boxing world gets ready for one of the most highly anticipated fights of the new details coming up with peter in the sport in about 35 minutes. less than a week before christmas families across several nations are bracing for a festive season like no other as coronavirus deaths in infections keep on rising governments see lockdowns as the only way to literally save lives in england millions of people have woken up to the highest level of restrictions this so far scientists have uncovered a new strain of the corona virus and it does appear to be spreading fast in the southeast of england and the london area prime minister boris johnson will give an update in or a little under an hour's time in italy shops bars and restaurants will close travel between regions is being banned even going outdoors will be limited for yet another

day germany is reporting more than 30000 new infections and elsewhere india has become the world's 2nd nation's record more than 10000000 infections so far the u.s. to set yet another record for new cases of curb it 19 as of friday at almost 250000 there are some small signs of hope with the approval for the u.s. market of the modernity covert 19 vaccine that's a story we covered here on the news hour earlier we'll speak more about that shortly with hadija castro in washington d.c. 1st to rory challenge in london where there are reports the government could be imposing new risk. directions rory hi there what do we think mr johnson is about to an arms. question there are various rumors and leaks that are swirling around on twitter and coming from the more politically connected domestic correspondents here. the the speculation is that

for the parts of the country that are being most affected by this new strain of the coronavirus so that london that's the southeast and that's the east of the country perhaps there could be a new tear that is brought in for those parts of the country at the moment there are 3 to is to 3 being the highest speculation that there could be here for 4 southeast london and the east of the country which might perhaps resemble the 1st national lockdown came into place earlier in the year and lasted through the summer now of course that has a big impact on christmas plans the government. has been criticized quite widely for 'd relaxing the regulations around social

distancing and how many people you can gather with except for the christmas period for 5 days around christmas saying that 3 families can get together over those 5 days. various medical experts have said that this is a mistake and perhaps as the hospitalisation rights have been climbing higher and higher over recent days the government itself had been starting to think that this was a mistake as well so you could argue that this new strain gives the government a chance to roll back on something that it had come to regret doing and allowing people to congregate so over christmas we don't yet of course know what these new regulations are that are going to be brought in we'll find out. in just under an hour's time but certainly the expectation is that christmas in the u.k. is seriously under threat and that the announcement whatever it is going to be

fairly major walk us through this is being mirrored in the main other countries across the european union already that are suffering it seems to me they're kind of breaking records for all the wrong reasons. yeah well certainly it's a layer which is right at the top of the table for the number of deaths in europe 67894 deaths that's beating the u.k. at the moment the u.k. i think was the front runner for a while. so yes in a new nationwide lockdown will be put into place for much of the time around christmas and the new year and all those days italians will be allowed to travel for work for health or emergency reasons other than that they're pretty much be asked to stay inside limited visits will be allowed for example if you want to go and see an elderly relative. it's pretty much back to the 1st lockdown

restrictions there are other measures that are being brought being pro-abortion into place austria is going for its 3rd lockdown just 11 days after it came out of its 2nd lockdown slovakia's there is bringing in more restrictions sweden which has restricted. stayed away from from knock downs for the entirety of the covert pandemic is still not going for a lock down but it is tightening restrictions as well so what i mean the picture is pretty clear across europe as the 2nd wave perhaps even 3rd wave in some places really starts to grip hard. many countries a doing what they had. been reluctant to do which is to bring in new restrictions around the christmas period rory thanks very much there in london with the picture in europe let's take it live heidi to castro a correspondent covering. the states where she's in washington so heidi we're back

to where we were i guess what 6 months ago talking about it at the census even though we've got the good news about madonna. that's right and right now the c.d.c. or in a couple hours time peter will be meeting to decide whether to recommend this 2nd modernity vaccine this is the vaccine that already got f.d.a. emergency authorization yesterday so it is expected to quickly pass the c.d.c.'s level of scrutiny and if that happens then tomorrow is when we would expect a shipment of some $6000000.00 doses to be distributed across the country with more vaccines using the during a vaccine taking place on monday now this is a vaccine that is also just as effective as the pfizer vaccine that we saw approved last week in a 95 percent efficacy rate but there are some key distinctions that may make it

easier to distribute this mcgurn a vaccine it does not require that ultra cold storage as the pfizer did and it also shifts in smaller batches so the government is hoping that it'll be easier to reach more remote regions with them a dearth of vaccine also notably this distribution effort will be overseen by the federal government because maternal participated in the operation warp speed program that pfizer did not so it'll be interesting to see there are any differences on that front but what this all boils down to is that these vaccines cannot come early enough for the united states or for the rest of the world for that matter here in this country more than $300000.00 people have died in this pandemic and the projection from the university of washington is that in 3 months time another $200000.00 people in the u.s. could die which would bring this death toll close to half a 1000000 people in this country alone. heidi thank you very much for the reporting

in the 1st 24 to 48 hours before the mess that the prime minister himself came out and said that opened the country to many comic possibilities and economic growth but that's what happened in the long run it's not said to happen immediately the 1st couple of days since the announcement was made on the $1415000.00 of the 70s france trumpeting just a little bit against the dollar but now it's dropping back with market prices still has higher or prior to the announcement and the processing is still there there has been a displacement that have been passed by the sounds of snow over the past 14 months as well. more rights to the people here in the country but that's. part of proving their living conditions still. the history of justice for those who've lost their lives over the past 2 years a sense of what the demonstrations began more than 300 people have lost their lives

the more the majority of them during the attack on the 2nd one. they're saying that they've demanded the government makes the 1st thing it does is provide justice and accountability for the families also the fact that promises have been song out there has been some investigations but there has been no one charge that is frustrating the people here thank you very much of a morgan there reporting live from. some of the 344 boys kidnapped in northern nigeria have described more about their ordeal with their parents in the state of. men raided their school and took them last friday holding them in a forest full details of the rescue still not clear including whether a ransom was paid. to be honest there was no food or water through no shelter no break and the friday we were taken we spent 2 days without sleep after it was leaves and after 2 days without food we were given fresh. titers in pieces of ground not cake. frankly speaking i feel like god is conscious me

children is a widespread problem christopher your mandate is the afghanistan director for save the children he says such incidents are all too common. similar to the one that we you know we're talking about today where because of the pervasive nature of the. arms unexploded ordnance is children are fortunately being maimed and killed. in afghanistan you have to remember that just this year the un is an order of 1800 children where casualties in this conflict including 553 children who died and this is information only after september children including young adults. are desperate some of them are trying to cross the iran some of some have tried to cross into europe is you know the. crisis in the military and in a lot of the. children coming in from afghanistan so it's difficult and i do miss

that they've got access to. members of the u.s. congress are being given a classified briefing afterward some said the trumpet ministration is failing to respond properly. national security is the number one challenge the 9 number one responsibility of a government is to protect our people. every government agency is compromised our national security is compromised i'm disappointed that he is not bringing the government together to respond to it ok let's take a closer look at the cyber sank which many describe as the worst of us hits the united states not texas based i.t. company so the wins says up to 18000 customers downloaded compromised software updates which allowed hackers to spy on e-mail exchanges major government agencies were hit too including the treasury and homeland security departments the department of energy which maintains nuclear stockpiles says e-mails were impacted

but national security functions were not affected the u.s. cyber security agency says intrusions began as early as march and microsoft has so far identified 40 of its customers as being affected most are in the u.s. but this also includes canada mexico the u.k. belgium spain israel and the u.a.e. the company says it's certain that list will continue to grow well earlier we spoke to robert pritchard former deputy head of the u.k. government cyber security operations center he says the attackers main aim is to steal as much information as they can. i think that damage is going to be more subtle and potentially more worse i suppose in the long term with espionage it seems to be that the attackers are aiming to steal information that it's not right so why they're not trying to lock out. but it's not only as if the system and the media impact of the sea is going to be caused by that kara people have to settle

systems and put a lot of effort into recovering the access and kicking out the attack but the long term impact is hard to quantify which is always the case with this kind of action are going objectivity and there's been a lot of talk about the lack of cyber norms which is that the phrase suspended back to. a national security sickles this is i mean this is not the scale of it and the techniques that are used are very clever and it's very large scale and it's not actually particularly unusual activity and it's certainly well within the bounds of know in terms of the. organizations that are targeted for the what we because it is acceptable espionage that i think you know it's important that people keep a level head and why the response we make it is it no longer a fact next war it's not attention it disrupted it's espionage and you know the u.s. and allies european countries and will do the same kind of activity now the u.s. congress has managed to temporarily avoid a government shutdown it's approved

kampala ticks but the murder of an ex governor is still very unusual the investigation into who was behind the attack is just beginning but it's not going to be easy that's because the state attorney said the staff from the restaurant cleaned up the crime scene took away evidence and even removed security cameras. in the southwest of the country is the heartland of one of mexico's most powerful criminal groups the new generation cartel. this is one of the videos they've released showing their firepower and they've not been afraid to turn it on authorities to fool this is fascination could mark the start of a real season of political violence in mexico and that's because next july the country's holding its biggest ever elections and in the run up to elections in the country is usually the point where criminal groups try to position their own candidate and they often do that by murdering rival. at least not to listen the
