britney one of singapore's most beloved tradition its famous straight story the fragile used one when east investigates bookers to innovate. on al-jazeera i care about how the u.s. engages with the rest of the world we're willing to fit in taking you into a place you might not visit otherwise and feel that you were there. this is al-jazeera. hello i'm sam is a than this is the news hour live from doha vaccines begin to reach more and more countries the gap between the world's haves and have nots is once again coming into focus. one place where the contrast is especially stark is israel and the palestinian territories vaccinations began there but it remains an affair when

millions of palestinians will be offered the job. warnings of a deteriorating security situation in parts of northern nigeria as hundreds of abducted school boys are reunited with their families. and meet nor and sees the new sesame street muppets raising awareness with the remainder stuck in the world's largest refugee camp. and i'm piece similar to sports news mexican boxer solo album is easily beats callen smith to become a full the visual world champion more later this news. we begin the news with the global battle against corona virus more and more people around the world are starting to receive vaccines but their rollout is also highlighting the division between the global haves and have. nots infections

worldwide now stand more than 76000000 the number of deaths edging towards 1700000 the us remains the worst hit country the virus killing more than 300000 people there many cities and regions are also heading back into lockdown including the northern beaches suburbs in sydney a cluster of their least 70 cases has been reported there are straight here have gone 2 weeks without recording any local transmissions in london and other parts of the u.k. extensive restrictions of just been reimposed due to a new mutated strain of corona virus we've gotten of the barber standing by live for us in london for more on that in the abraham will join us from ramallah in the occupied west bank but 1st to israel where irene nasser their people are beginning to receive the pfizer vaccine how is the rollout proving for israelis.

well it's starting late last night with prime minister netanyahu he was the 1st israeli to receive that jab today it'll be the president minister is head of health care institutions and hospitals as well as health care workers as we understand it tomorrow all of those over the age of 60 as well as those with preexisting conditions it will be receiving the vaccine appointments for those already rolled out late last week in the 2nd phase it will be people who come into high contact with others so it will include teacher is social workers as well as some soldiers the government is expecting about $60000.00 people to be vaccinated per day but that really depends on how many of the vaccine doses will arrive they're expecting about $4000000.00 of the pfizer vaccine before the end of the year and another $4000000.00 towards the beginning of next year they've also signed an agreement with madonna but those doses are not expected until early 2021 so

they're doing 60000 cases i think you said dave is that going to ease the pressure on the country on life on the government as well. well i mean not really quite it faction rates are really continuing to rise and to surge there is a special cabinet meeting that will be held today it's the coded cabinet meeting and they're going to be discussing possible restriction measures including a possible lot down and closing of the earth report there is also the issue of who will not be vaccinated so there is about a 3rd of the population that will not be vaccinated and that includes pregnant women as well as children under the age of 16 and experts israeli experts are saying that they need about 60 to 70 percent of the population to be vaccinated in order for them to feel an impact so there is still a big challenge ahead for prime minister netanyahu and for the government and that

is in addition to criticism that both both both netanyahu and the government are facing for how they handled the pandemic with some claims that basically they made a decision based on political reasons based on politicized reasons as opposed to prioritizing public health. all right let's leave ben right now with the i remembering on the situation for israelis let's go over to brahimi she joins us from the west bank in ramallah what about the situation there any sign of a campaign to vaccine the palestinians. so far the plans for the palestinians seem to be just wait we've heard the palestinian prime minister and i'm going to stay speak on thursday and said there's going to be taking a few months before palestinians get the vaccine the palestinian authority has been living a very deep financial crisis which is why they cannot it's cannot afford to vaccinate the whole population and they've said that they're relying on the w.h.o.

program to vaccinate people but even if such a program starts it's not expected to be vaccinating more than 20 percent of the population to palestinian health minister to make it a said that the health system is ready in shambles it's already overstretched specifically in the gaza strip a chill also pointed out that the palestinians do not have the resources to store some of the vaccinations being discussed specifically the prize or they only have one difference in age ration units which is not going to be enough at all and there are a lot of talks about the russian vaccine but the palestinian prime minister said the palestinians will only vaccinate the people with approved vaccinations so there is a lot to be said about whether this is going to be accepted or not and whether israel would allow this vaccine to enter the palestinian territory we know that palestinians do not have control over their borders and everything that comes in

has to come through israel having said that human rights organizations say that israel is the occupying power and as such it has the need in our view many to him to sponsibility to vaccinate the people in the occupied west bank and the gaza city . whether that will happen or not will have to all so clearly a big disparity there thanks to new day of writing too. as we've been mentioning the u.k. government has added a new level of restrictions for london and the se one that let's cross over now to an indian bar where he joins us from the u.k. capital nadine despite the early rollout of vaccinations of vaccines there in the u.k. now they're talking about an even longer lockdown right now. that's right so i mean i mean it's been speculated on for some while now but the restrictions will have to last a well into the new year of course but the news here and the anger really that you

can sense among a lot of the public here in england is that the last minute basically the government has said to people in london in the southeast and in the east of england an area covering 18000000 people you may not meet other household at christmas and that was precisely the opposite to what they were saying just a few days ago on wednesday prime minister boris johnson in parliament mocks the leader of the opposition kids starmer saying he wants to cancel christmas and that he wished he had the guts to admit it boris johnson went ahead and did that on saturday bringing in here for as it's called so the rest of england areas which were interior 3 they're also being told that instead of a 5 day relaxation of restrictions it's one day just the 25th of december and so there's a lot of upset a lot of heartache here on saturday evening there were pictures on social media of

crowded train stations or people trying to travel even though the government not to and the reason behind that is because the government says the new restrictions are essential because of this new variant of call that 19 which based. sait is up to 70 percent more transmissible now there is a debate about when they found out about this new variant the scientists advising them say that they knew it existed in september boris johnson says he only found out a few days ago a lot about the picture across the rest of europe intervene. well sammy here in the u.k. the statistics have really been worrying the health service in terms of hospitalizations basically in the southeast which is now and for the the the dutch government has actually detected the same variant and they have now

acted with immediate effect running air travel to and from the u.k. here matt hancock the health secretary has said that more restrictions are precisely needed because of the existence of this new variant but they're saying that there's no evidence it's more deadly or in fact causes more illness but the population is asking itself hey how much they can trust the government right now and b. as you were referring to before how long these tougher restrictions going to last their hope is of course that vaccine the government hopes to roll out to have administered half a 1000000 doses by the end of next week but of course it's going to take a much bigger effort to actually try to get these pandemic under control 70 all right thanks so much ending bob novak. oh in the u.s.

there's a ray of hope this fire rising cases the 1st batch of more than is vaccine is being prepared for distribution trucks carrying millions of doses will roll out later on sunday it's the 2nd vaccine authorized for emergency use that i do joe castro reports from washington d.c. . lifesaving vials of a 2nd f.d.a. authorized covert 19 that scene are going in boxes destined for hospitals and clinics across the country government officials say americans will begin receiving the maternal vaccine monday unlike the pfizer vaccine that began rolling out a week ago these don't require ultra cool storage making them easier to handle between the 2 vaccines nearly 8000000 doses will have been released although the distribution effort has already had hiccups governors from several states have complained of receiving tens of thousands fewer vaccine doses than had been promised the army general overseeing the federal government's distribution effort

offered an apology saturday saying he'd fail to understand there's a delay between when a vaccine is available and when it's released there is no problem with the pfizer vaccine there is no problem with the madonna vaccine right it was a plain error and i am responsible for both axes are close to 95 percent effective in clinical trials vice president mike pence got his 1st dose on live television and health care workers across the country have done the same people in nursing homes are also part of phase one i feel 5 years feel good to shop with no problem the u.s. government's goal removes 20000000 bats of nations by year's at but that will not nearly cover the amount of people the c.d.c. recommends as part of distribution phase 2 so it is up to the states to prioritize

. who gets those vaccines older people over the age of 65 those with preexisting medical risk factors or essential workers already jostling for those limited doses these vials of hope have arrived meanwhile congress continues to work on legislation to help shuttered businesses and families facing eviction every day that we delay may very well cause more small businesses there's about will cost more american workers their jobs and yes cost more americans their very lives a deal is close both parties say but the economic help can't come soon enough nor the vaccines as the latest weekly average shows more than 2600 people dying from coded each day in the united states. castro al-jazeera washington. thank you all still ahead on the news hour including what we live in djibouti is east african leaders gathered to discuss the diplomatic standoff between kenya and

somalia why local elections are being seen as a test to thailand's democracy following months of protest against the government to monitor. and thief is best play list since teen banks the top of the standings i'm not. voting is underway in thailand's 1st local elections since the military coup in 2014 last years general paul drew accusations of manipulations backing antigovernment protests the provincial votes could indicate the effectiveness or otherwise of those demonstrations turning chang reports from the city of some of. them once he was seen as the savior of thai politics the charismatic leader whose reform agenda captured

a culture of the votes in last year's election since then his party future food has been dissolved and he's been banned from politics for a decade but tenet on jong un is not giving up his party has reformed under the new bern a move forward to grossly contesting local elections across time. people don't understand the politicians of local police. local police. anti-government protests in bangkok and around the country the flared up for the past 5 months but giving the folk new impetus younger voters disenfranchised by the military coup in 24 team could turn to candidates bank by move forward and their agenda a political reform. that they face different position. local politics in thailand's dominated by well established political family is well known to world voters and

with money to spend on their campaigns. is running in the affluent province of chonburi his father convicted of corruption and murdering a political rival held the position before him his brother who failed to win a seat as an m.p. is currently a cabinet minister and he vehemently denies he's part of a political dynasty. in fact even though myself and my family have been in politics for a long time every time that we were given the chance to work in politics our position came from an election. and while the results of the election were unlikely change much it could signify deep shifts in thai society thailand has been ruled by the rich it socio political hierarchy with the monarchy at the center that whole ruling regime now is being tested and the election this and this $11.00 small

indicator but also one contest that reflects the broader struggle despite a pretty good showing here voter turnout is not expected to be high so close to the new year holiday the election commission has warned that if voters don't cast their ballots they could well be disqualified in the next general election and even if voters do turn out in large numbers in reality these elections won't bring much change the government's paid little attention to the demands from the protest movement but this is a chance for ties to make their voice heard at the ballot box which in recent years has frequently been denied. some time and. leaders from 8 east african countries are gathering for an emergency summit to discuss the challenges facing the region the regional bloc known as i gad will focus on the diplomatic standoff between somalia and kenya somalia can't diplomatic ties with kenya on tuesday accusing it of meddling in politics after president hu kenyatta

hosted the leader of somaliland the bloc will also talk about the humanitarian crisis in ethiopia as north and to grow a region. hippa morgan will join us from khartoum for the perspective from there shortly but 1st let's cross over to mohamed atta he's live for us from djibouti so is the gathering helping to resolve the differences between kenya and somalia. well saw me this summit has just gotten underway the leaders of sudan somalia kenya ethiopia all in our tenders together with delegations from south sudan and uganda. intergovernmental all $42.00 on development get a regional grouping that brings together 8 countries in africa is facing a huge challenge start of mediating between 2 of its founding members somalia and kenya of course these 2 countries of hot diplomatic spots before based mainly on

money time dispute between them but also on the administration which kenya sees as a buffer zone with which it's protecting its borders from al-shabaab hocks but that regional administration itself has got not so good relations with mogadishu something somalia is blaming on kenya and the whole thing saw a huge escalation last week when kenya invited the president of the bric region of somaliland which has been seeking without any success international commission for most of the past 30 years that is something somalia saying it's not willing to take and will never take sitting down and if there's one thing the president of somalia mama of the life or my job is trying to prove not only to his regional neighbors but also the entire international community is somalia is not the failed state it

has been for most of the past 30 years and it's time countries started dealing with it with a little bit more respect. how about the great conflict is the i got gathering getting involved in that. yes that we'll be discussing but among a host of other issues in the region of course the conflict into gray had created huge panic of course the whole of africa with many feeling that they ease the possibility that it could spread across the borders of ethiopia and affect the 6th ability of this region which has a very unstable past. the refugee situation also will be discussed one thing that is right now more clear is whether the war is actually all about or not with the possibility of the ticket a fight is turning into

a good group fighting. against the european government and that too would be discussed at length. or i will leave it there thanks so much mohamed atta let's go to him a morgan she's live for us in khartoum and i'm sure you heard them hammered out talking about the politics of all of this if any of this politics poke elating down into a solution to some of the refugees you've been visiting read recently. well sam you know the refugees have been saying that they really don't want to be refugees they want to be able to go home but most of them had to leave because of how sudden they were happened they all arrived during the 1st week of november many continue to arrive humanitarian agencies say that the response is ongoing but that they need assistance and they need donor funding because this is something that they were not expecting up to 200 refugees expected to arrive to sudan should the fighting and the continue by april now this war in the tigre region is fought in the dark so

people don't know what is happening in there little information coming out but we hear very very different stories of atrocities from refugees about how they had to leave things behind they had to come to across the border into sudan to escape the war with nothing but the clothes they're wearing so many of them are in desperate humanitarian situations many of them have been going hungry for days until they reach the sudanese territories where they're assisted by aid are going to stations so the situation is quite dire in the eastern states of. where the refugees have been arriving. are saying that these numbers continue to poor and many of them don't have shelters the camps themselves when we have been there we've seen those camps there not fully prepared for the refugees that have been arriving many of them have been moved from. from the border camps to hooper which is a camp about 80 kilometers from the border but not prepared to receive the number

of refugees it's set up for 10000 and the number is well beyond that at the moment or a relief thanks so much people morgan. another group of children who were abducted in northern nigeria have reportedly been rescued by vigilantes in the local community the children had been returning from a religious gathering in. a state it comes just 2 days after hundreds of boys were reunited with their families. after they were kidnapped by so-called bandits. their abduction is highlighted the worsening security situation in africa's most populous country. went to the town of to meet some of the students and their parents. the last time a book and going to school and received so many visitors it was 15 years ago that was when their youngest child was. neighbors and well wishers returned to celebrate again this time most

a safe return home after 60 ordeal at the hands of kidnappers. is one of the 344 school boys released after they were abducted by gunmen from a boarding school more than a week ago. i can't really express how i feel miles have returned home there is laughter everywhere when it is the same story in almost every home affected here in cancun and as a way. is to become a surgeon but after the d.c. spent in captivity he's having a rethink about future studies because. frankly every student is scared of going back. threatened to kill us next time they sees us. many of his fellow students will regain their freedom are equally scared about continuing their education after threats made by the kidnappers. but slowly they can get a community is getting back on its feet. the moden going to has dramatically

changed since algeria's last visit here are a few days ago when 344 students are still missing now the local market is fully open but the main talking point for the people is security they want to see evidence of more protection by the security forces and get a seat at the age of a force that stretches into them for where many of the bandits gangs of gunmen hide out before launching attacks on local communities that. is the most vulnerable council area in katsina state yes we have one armored personnel carrier a few soldiers and police but that's not enough to deal with the big threat we face daily. become for now but in other villages around here people are living in fear. they have been reports of other takes on the police to communities nearby since the release of the students. there's been a significant security presence here because of the recent abductions but it's not clear how long that will last. omid address is there for us

now in can't see the ad made how demoralizing i guess for the population how barrus thing for the government. somebody this is more of. an ongoing crisis it's demoralizing it has put so many families so many normally i mean cattle herders out of business a lot of people have been sacked from their homes in northwestern nigeria in the forestay particularly why this madness started 78 years ago it's worse their entire villages have been sized entire communities wiped out by this bandits and when they cannot extract money from their victims they just kill them all now the conflict is on for us to spread to almost all parts of the eighty's in the northwest of nigeria now you are having a crisis here and kept in a state in them for

a state in support or and kindness to keep going up by the way it is just less than 200 kilometers from the i've been instructed capital of nigeria and various hardly a week that passes without a major incident of kidnapping or attempt to kidnap passengers on the highway so a lot of people now have to resort to air transportation or trains and this is causing a lot of problems for embarrassment on the part of the government because this is a recurring problem and then it's not only in the northwest for the nigerian government and military it's embarrassing remember 3 years ago the government declared both water technically defeated but we see continuously how boko haram continues to test the will of the nigerian government and its military in the north east of the country and we seeing more activity in the northwest of nigeria. all right thanks so much estimated 3. times and some weather here is ever to now.

i am. welcome back you're watching al-jazeera time to recap. headlines now israel has begun its covert 19 vaccination campaign the government is aiming to inoculate 60000 people a day but that doesn't include palestinians living in the occupied west bank in gaza british prime minister barak johnson has announced strict take over 1000 restrictions in london in southeast england the netherlands is now banned all flights from the u.k. in a bid to stop the spread of a more contagious strain of the virus. another group of children who were abducted in northern nigeria have reportedly been rescued by vigilantes in the local community it comes just 2 days after hundreds of boys were reunited with their families katsina state after they were kidnapped by bandits. let's get more

now on our top story in the divide between israelis and palestinians over access to vaccines for the coronavirus. director for the occupied palestinian territories physicians for human rights she joins us live from jaffa by skype good to have us with us good to have you with us i should say. we heard from our correspondent earlier talking about how it seems palestinian authorities are hoping for some help from the international aid organizations when it comes to vaccinations is that going to come to the rescue of palestinians. ok so let me start with an overview of. the at them to secure of a clean. bill for them to the fishes. to different companies that says he hides it with other companies that his stock to guard being

seen but no agreements has been. a as we know that the p a a hopeful gives but seems to w. is so little partnership forged for what he says the humanitarian organizations that would be providing preverb scene but are used to 20 percent of the people laced with communes that the p.a. and their partners have to secure that east of the seas. it is a good thing that the season between that was spent on that as a sort of it's also clear yes but it would be providing the excuse to the benefits as they did since the beginning of that we don't abide as. a crisis. and we know that the p. it would not be able to seek you out of. the whole amount or the fixin's. alone a they do 5 hope that. you know assistance from

a utopian countries ordering c their part and if it does that would hurt her then it is a sin and sniff would be secured as what. if i could jump in and as a you know clearly to to handle this all of this what about the responsibility to the israeli authorities that as the occupying power. yeah so when i. got the p. 5 it and i'm in the mood there not a pin benefited actually the queen nation some pain there they their way to start with a buck seem to think his workers and you know this this is the reason why last week we sent the listener through the israeli. health ministry and who decoded the needs of that government esp if he's in the group i said it's always demanding them to fulfill their legal moral and humanitarian of you do so as an occupying power and since showed that quality but seen provided to the palestinians what ruined that

one said yeah. i'm curious to know what response did you get out of it like. we haven't yet. received any response from the israeli authorities and from our previous a correspondence with them they only few and sort of missing has been provided by israeli authors is regarding you know a supplies and assistance through. a system in the uk if i think that it was and could you also know what it refers to is waiting to get promoted regarding delivering that ocean but since it was about a foot but it's been eons where would believe that the stands in kentucky extend to the disagreements and you know that what you missed a very funny ca to guard being in forcing me to cases through the palestinian

cities to reach a according to the press it getting meant anybody cation run would be imported and it goes to the status it has to be approved by the israeli minister the head of that ocean but seen was not approved through israeli citizens are on stand on thank you so much about as a. well south african president is being urged to intervene in a violent campaign targeting foreign truck drivers around 30 trucks have been set alight and drivers shot in recent attacks at least 2 people have died. has more from johannesburg and we should warn you the report contains images some viewers may find disturbing collins my sukhumi was on a routine delivery when a car with 3 men inside blocked the road and forced him out of this truck he says he's lucky to be alive he gave out and neither are any of us. and another one is the only 3 are you annoyed. i mean if you come down.

or been made your. when i put the male leg down just someone gave me the air you know. unions representing foreigners working in south africa say gasoline bombs have been thrown at trucks driven by non south africans and dozens of drivers have been shot at stoned and even killed south african union leaders who have condemned the violence insist it is not xenophobia but they say they do want jobs to go to south africans 1st zimbabwe has been vocal but one has been vocal. has been vocal about. their own citizens in fact literally over there would drop opportunity that there's been committed in their particular country but it can't. be given to. the citizens of that particular kind over the years competition for jobs in south

africa has caused tensions between locals and those from other parts of the continent but africa economy was struggling he even before the call of a 19 pandemic the unemployment rate is down more than 30 percent every year the african the poverty and conflict come here looking for work and a better life economists say instability in the transport sector doesn't help matters the damage to the reputation not only of that particular company but is affected by such violence the country itself is very massive because then we begin not to be trusted it's not like we're the only people producing anything you know people all over the world they've got options they can go to other countries as well president has been asked by unions and business leaders to intervene in what is seen as a growing crisis in south africa's trucking industry the fine drivers say they have no choice but to carry on working violence or nonviolence they have families to feed. on is the south

southern africa director of human rights watch is usually based in south africa but joins us live from london today via skype good to have you with us so how widespread is this problem of attacks on trunk drivers becoming. attacks on foreign truck drivers into the liquor is becoming a major crisis the problem is very much widespread the epicenter is job in consular talk province but the problem has spread across the country and the major challenge is that this loyalist nist has been allowed to go on without the police in a building if the police to arrest the quinones targeting foreign nationals foreign trucks is the biggest problem that's the case facing today because drivers are being killed and they are being attacked daily with no

protection no recourse and the police is simple little absent and willing more and it would help is this a case of it being too difficult for authorities to track down the attackers or do you suspect there is a deliberate political decision not to go after the perpetrators of attacks. or basically it is the absence of political will it's not about the capacity because the police can stop this they can add it is the perpetrators but the idea that. the law is what is preventing political leadership on this matter and if this continues all this mean for supplies for food prices. well already we've seen that. challenge in terms of the economy because you know millions of dollars worth of trucks there have been

destroyed. the busiest port in africa. made absolutely forced to shut down and so it's. it terrible issue for any qualities of that that it's been struggling with quite a bit lately partly. lawlessness you know look at plymouth taking the law into their all here and. refusing to let the police do their work which means it could lead to that probably will be called only because of road rage industry is huge significant but you do tax go all. those. to use you know other ports letting them you be are more than a big city it's a huge challenge for the economy and president of course is the short leadership took distiller of the environment or i thanks so much good to get your thoughts on

that ok at least 9 people have been killed in the afghan capital in a car bomb attack another 15 people were wounded in the blast in kabul fluting m.p. and muhammad one attack there's been no claim of responsibility targeted attacks have increased in recent weeks last week the death of the governor of kabul was killed also by a car bomb. u.s. president elect joe biden has introduced key members of his environment an energy team and there are some more government firsts the nominees include the 1st african-american to head the environmental protection agency a renewable power advocate to lead the department of energy and the country's 1st ever native american cabinet secretary. growing up in my mother's public household made me fears my life is not been easy i struggled with homelessness i relied on

food stamps embrace my child as a single mom the struggles give me perspective so that i can help people to succeed my grandparents who were taken away from their families as children and sent to boarding school in an effort to destroy their traditions and identities maintained our culture this moment is profound when we consider the fact that our former secretary of the interior once proclaimed his go to quote civilized or exterminate us i'm a living testament to the failure of that horrific idiology i'm shihab rattansi has more from biden's hometown of wilmington delaware with this team he really he really can say this is historic moment particularly with harlem's nomination for interior we should know understates the interior department i think we were suggesting that it was mainly to do with tribal land this is

a federal all federal god or us federal you know 100000 millions of acres of land in the not for resources we but mineral rights the fossil fuel rights the wildlife the water i mean this is such an important such move an important nomination especially give rooms of the public the interiors role in the destruction of native america within the interior department is the bureau of indian affairs which isn't so responsible as that holland was adjusting to in the destruction of native american. invest case when biden talks about identity and talks about how diverse his cabinet is it's really relevant when we decide where we think about the portfolio that he's handing out because the interior department the balls identity it's just such an amazing combination to have a native american woman in charge of a swathe of the north american continent finally. now u.s. president donald trump has contradicted his secretary of state by saying china
