but the decision must be made soon. part of the viewfinder asia series on al-jazeera. already. this is al-jazeera. hello and welcome i'm he told me you're watching the news live from doha coming up in the next 60 minutes rolling out the vaccine countries across the e.u. launch a coordinated campaign to immunize against coded 19. votes against central african republic under a shadow of violence instability and opposition claims of vote rigging. a different election story in news year with the 1st peaceful transfer of power since

independence looks likely will be live in the capital and the army. also ahead stranded with nowhere to go a dire situation for refugees seeking shelter after their campaign both was destroyed by fire. and i'm satisfied with all your sports news the portland trail blazers edge the houston rockets and a high scoring overtime thread about some more late service news out. the european union has begun one of the world's biggest coronavirus vaccination campaigns today it aims to protect 450000000 people across 27 countries the block's leaders have hailed the rollout of the fire as a buy on tech vaccine as a moment of unity and hope a group of nurses in room with a 1st in italy to get their jobs the nation was one of the 1st in europe to go into lockdown of course on the 1st vaccination in spain was given to

a 96 year old aaron shelley doll go who lives in a care home in the city got a lot harder germany has also started immunizations vaccinating a group of care home residents there a 101 year old woman was among the 1st to be inoculated dominic cain joins us live from berlin good morning good afternoon logistically this is the beginning of a massive massive operation we haven't seen anything like this in living memory. yes the point to make here is the politicians are clearly of the view that they're injecting hope into the e.u. with each shot that each patient receives it's one step further towards the end of this pandemic that's clearly what they they're ambition is and i glance at the numbers of what's happening right now right around the continent well here in germany the authorities are talking about 1300000 doses being injected into

patients over the course of what's left of december the minister in charge is talking about immunising 5000000 people by the end of the 1st quarter of 2021 now if you extrapolate from that the other member states may not necessarily have quite exactly the same pattern but the view would be clear they're talking about many millions of people being immunized but the devil's in the detail to a certain extent because there are hundreds of millions of people who will need to be immunized and clearly even with the numbers logistically of doses that ministers are talking about it means that a great deal of people are going to have to wait a considerable period of time which explains why to a certain extent you have the twin track strategy that ministers around the e.u. have spoken of vaccination on one hand lockdown on the other is anyone dumb speculating as to a timeline here you were talking there about some people having to wait so what

point do we think they might say ok health care workers people in care homes people over 5560 years old we've looked after them we know they've got the vaccine that at the 1st the 2nd one week after that they are good to go back to something i guess approaching normal life what point do they move on to the rest of europe. well that's the question many people are asking we know that as i said before different countries appear to be applying slightly different criteria here there are 3 different orders of priority the 1st one very clearly is anyone over the age of 80 anyone in elderly care home whether that's the resident or the workers there any doctor or nurse who works on coronavirus wards anyone who has a really serious preexisting condition that renders them vulnerable to the current

virus well they're going to get a vaccination very quickly indeed and then you go down the order of priority lists towards people who don't necessarily have immediate exposure and in the sense of a vulnerability to covert but who work in professions which would bring them into close proximity with a virus potentially so for example people in the education sector many teachers will find that over the course of the next perhaps 5 to 6 weeks they'll receive a a notice that hey you can come and be immunized certainly that's the case here in germany in berlin we know that the 3rd priority is being given to the teaching profession as i said the other thing to bear in mind here though is that we do have hard lock downs in place and as i said before that this is the twin track strategy those who won't be getting priority well they have to put up with the lock down the restriction on their ability to move around but mysteriously the mantra is that

they want millions of people to be immunized and they're talking about the summer as being the time when perhaps they return to some form of precocious normality might be possible understood dominic kane thanks very much dump him there our correspondent in berlin let's talk more about the vaccine program in europe with dr anna sparrow professor population health science and policy at mount sinai hospital she joins us on skype from geneva dr sparrow great how you back on the news are how long is a piece of string how long until you and i can have a conversation where you say is on the back foot and we're winning. well that is the but you know the question is that unfortunately with betsy you don't always see them as the antidote. to this devastating. suffering and economic county. and your dental we don't actually know whether the.

script and now are here and yet the government treatment over single or live is betting is bad tends to. particular. disease in the elderly at the greatest dime now that he's spent at it but what we really want from a vaccine to stop the spread. who are at the most critical spreading the disease and that's how we reach. and population resistance. we don't even know if that. was. about to start out saying that we needed about 60 percent. now of cohorts. and get up 270808590. considered metric might read and. there's that not truly but certainly by.

that means we have to have a greater level of care to. put that together. distrust which. depending on where you are in europe and the world and a politicized. and a net also makes it less likely. to get you. so we could be waiting months and in the meantime everybody has to consider. the matter mandates to get pissed at her and it will be several months before we know whether the vaccine. when you were talking about the impossible to know element of what you've just been saying thing that occurred to me was that's why it's kind of anticipated what was going to say that's why despite the fact say one is in a social situation in paris or the netherlands or london in 6 months time and everyone in that social situation says i've been successfully vaccinated if one has not been

vaccinated i should still carry on with the hand-washing with the social distancing and with the face mask. well the hand-washing probably not doing anything at this point except downgrading our need to because of it's not great by hands. yes because masks would it at a population nibble at record yes also it would appear like masks do you don't need to be. as you know as broad as b.p. to be effective in the same way that recognized certain need to explicitly get through it was beyond. all these other majors in order to achieve. a reduction in numbers because of do we do you get me it's going to take so long but that seems to be a decent level of disease whether or not there are they would you spray can prevent in banks and and we nor the i think many people can spray and in the meantime i'm told. you have boxes and fuels meet me take your meds that we're seeing right now

and recent and that is the you know that is the evidence of their failure their quality to the british government wants your billions of 1000000 on just you can trade seeing in using your own taste and bell profit making at and didn't put enough money into supporting people it's very common to get inside the protections and financial incentives to help people to get through these really predicted the. dr spero thank you so much we'll talk again i'm sure person but in the meantime thank you. lots more still to come here on the news hour for you including coronavirus benefits on hold millions of americans face and i'm still uncertainty as president from refuses to sign a pandemic breathing spell. and we'll need to ambitious teenager dedicated to ending child marriages in bangladesh that has the highest rates in the world. and the former france national team coach making a club combat salary we'll have the details in sport in about 35 it's.

crucial to. test of democracy is well underway in central african republic where voting is taking place in presidential and legislative elections the opposition wanted the elections perspire and and rebels have united to reject the polls they're accusing the president faust in our show of toward error of rigging the vote fighters have attacked several towns rights groups to return to levels of violence last seen in 2013 when thousands of civilians were killed. let's go straight to katherine sawyer who's in the capital bangui katherine how is the turnout looking so far. well we've visited several polling stations this morning and this is by far the busiest missing hundreds of people here many of them telling us that they are determined to cast their ballot for peace to say for peace they say so basically here in benghazi

we've not hard any major incidents voting is going on a smoothly in many parts but we are hearing of destruction in our some big towns in the provinces we're hearing in some places people are still hiding out in bushes so i'm able to come out to vote in other places polling stations have not been open in one particular town walk up to gunshots so they are unable to go and vote so a lot of fear in the countryside a lot of fear here as while some people are saying that they are waiting to see how safe it can be for them to come and work but we have been talking to u.n. official those who have told us that this problem areas are just few and most of the country is safe enough for people to come out to the polling stations to cast their ballots. is a driver and shows us pictures from

a recent work trip to a town 300 kilometers north of the capital bangui shortly after he took these photos he says armed men attacked and he had to flee he's worried about relatives who live in the town he blames rebel groups calling themselves the patriots polish and for change all c.p.c. for the latest security crisis in the central african republic she's told the town is almost empty some of the men are asking civilian to give up their electric cars others are a high degree in the charge as far as they know. there cannot be a proper election in bossangoa. president. has asked people to come out and vote those in to be vigilant with concerns the violence may intimidate whose has and undermined the point that government is looking to provide reassurance of countries throughout the work. there

is no. let's say. and the. people decide not to vote and you have a level of 0 for what you think but the suppression which is no it doesn't mean this election is not credible more than 12000 peacekeepers from the u.n. mission in new backing see our security forces troops recently sent by one doctor russian military instructors and private security contractors also on the ground all of this instability that you were is localized. the western part of the country that's been ongoing for. a petition filed by 7 opposition kind it is to postpone the election was rejected by the constitutional court 17 presidential candidates have been cleared to run for the election one has withdrawn his candidacy fighting for security reasons most promising to finally bring peace back

to central african republic revive the economy and provide basic services. see it are has numerous goals down one in your opinion deposits as well as other natural resources yet it's one of the poorest and most unstable countries in the wilds more than half the population of 5000000 needs a good some people here in the capito told us all they want is a dignified life and to get to the other side of the polls safely. it's important to give you some context on bondi itself this is a divided city there are areas where people support the boob alyan support former president francois but these are who. who is safe to be behind the rebellion they carry that he's been telling people not to go to the polling stations not to vote so people in those areas support team and we're not going you don't expect to see

much ovaltine there but like i said in the polling stations that were born many people who have come out to vote are saying that they are determined they just want peace in the just one place in the country catherine you keep us right up to date i'm sure in the meantime stay close we'll come back to you maybe in the coming hours paul malley is a consultant fellow for the africa program at chatham house in london he joins us on skype from the british capital pool welcome back to the news hour see mr just in the past hour or so is saying he backs the rebels according to reports. and he's urging against the vote saying is that one of those situations where will he would kind of say that wouldn't he. well he's been accused for several days of being the figure behind the vote in fact the international community issued a joint statement which named him individually and basically warned him off. disrupting the process and warning that he and rebel leaders would be held

responsible for their actions so as you say in some ways it's not surprising that he's now publicly backing backing the rebels while not specifically claiming that he is the organizer of the rebellion but from the international community's point of view and from the point of view of the institutions of the central african republic so the constitutional court which crucially decided that the election should not be postponed this is also a question of credibility because if they were to set back the election that would in effect be suggesting that. armed uprising can and can produce results if you like it would be sending a message that if you want something what you have to do is rebel because until a week ago most armed groups were in fact and not all of them but most were and

preparations for the election were going ahead fairly steadily and this upsurge in violence has really come in the last week or 10 days and it's clearly directly aimed at disrupting the electoral process and trying to sort of put the clock back and many people suspect it's linked to the fact that bush is a has been denied the right to take part and so to give in from from the international point communities point of view to give in now would be to. as it were cede to the arguments that force can might is right i tell you like that that's the challenge but as with as to. to the issue of the violence there are different levels of interpretation of how much violence there have actually been and how significant it is but the reality surely is that if there is violence particularly in this western area of the country that we're just talking about now some people will choose not to vote so it's an absolute concept clearly but that

means that the democratic or the the process of democracy has been damaged and we need to work out all the authorities need to work or be acceptable level to which they can live with that having happened and the democratic process having been damaged. yes it's an impossible position really because of course by going ahead with it at a time when rebel groups are roaming around in the west of the country even if they're not actually staging very many violent attacks they're basically intimidating people and putting many communities in a position where people will feel that they have to stay at home or people are fleeing from towns and villages into the bush to avoid the armed groups and then that in itself is undermining the electoral process but the challenge is if you if

you were to postpone say for 2 or 3 weeks or for a month or 2 there's no guarantee that the conditions would actually be any better at the end of that period and in some ways because the legitimacy of the current government would then be we can because it would be in a sort of post to post its normal monday position the instability could actually get worse the previous election in the cia are back in 2016 actually was seen as fairly legitimate despite the fact that at that time 2 thirds of the country at least perhaps 3 quarters of the country were under the control of various rebel groups and so the u.n. may have judged that this will be an imperfect election but that it's the least bad option and it's the only way to edge in ca are forward to the next stage of trying to rebuild

a peaceful structure and least where even if some rebel groups are sort of fighting around for images it's an impossible position really ok paul we must leave it there great to talk to us over thank you so much paul malley from chatham house there in london were. all staying in this region voting is underway in e.j. or a nation looking to deliver its 1st peaceful handover of power present. came to power in a coup before being elected in 2011 he's stepping down after 2 terms his preferred successor mohammed both soon leads a 30 strong field of candidates struggling with arm movements and widespread poverty. joins us live now from the capital what's the atmosphere like. well it's been a slow start to the de fuca and things are picking up gradually we've been to several polling stations some opened maybe an hour be.

also supposed to have started the president in fact voted just an hour ago where we're standing now and then later on we saw several government officials as well as other voters hearing into vote one and lection officials told us that the numbers will go up as the day progresses this is a country where the voting i was can run from anything from 10 hours to 11 hours in fact today the election commission is saying that the voting process will take 11 hours 2 to $2.00 to $2.00 to conclude now we spoke to the election commission who said voting has been progressing all across the country except in regions where there are security challenges in such an areas in those regions then elections are not holding simply because it's impossible to conduct elections in those areas and like you said in the introduction this is a country struggling with so many issues security on the western border with mali and breaking a fire so and in the south both water. in the nigerian side of the border now apart

from that they also having difficulties economically this is a country where the rate of poverty is alarming more than 40 percent of people leave on less than $2.00 a day and to make much is worse for them copied 19 as well as the drop in the prices of uranium the country's chief export is affecting or impacting the economy negatively so government is trying and now we have a takes over from of the use of will have the sense for to deal with these economic problems to provide the infrastructure and to restore security already needs areas in partnership with original forces like nigeria chad cameroon and others to defeat book or i'm on the other side and then. it's part of the 5 psychology 5 countries where they ever receive you assistance from foreign countries especially from those and other countries sending troops and resources or. it could meant to help deal

with the security challenges on the border especially with the border the border with mali and bricking apostle so that's huge a lot mighty of the task before whoever wins this election out of the 30 candidates who are on the ballot today peter thank you so much correspondent there in me the u.s. president donald trump has refused to sign a $900000000000.00 coronavirus relief and spending bill the package was approved by republicans and democrats in congress part of a sink ludes a one time payout congress agreed to $600.00 for individuals mr trump wants that increased to $2000.00 president elect joe biden has accused mr trump of abdicating his responsibilities to the nation he says the refusal will have devastating consequences the bills attached to larger budget measures that means around $14000000.00 people will have their regular payments delayed the u.s. is facing a partial government shutdown as of tuesday unless congress agrees a stopgap funding bill rose jordan has more now from washington. the u.s.

president donald trump has refused to sign a $900000000000.00 bill that would provide economic support to americans and their families to businesses and to the overall u.s. economy he says it's because the one time stimulus checks that would be given to many americans just isn't enough the deal that was struck between republicans and democrats set aside $600.00 per person but the president has insisted that every american adult get 2000 dollars and that their children each get $600.00 now this is something that congressional republicans who normally support the president don't want to do they say that would vastly increase the federal budget deficit will democrats for their part are taking sides with the president because they say the suffering is deep and is only getting deeper and that any money will make a difference now refusal to sign this legislation isn't just about stimulus checks

it's also going to affect whether unemployment checks can continue to go to the estimated 14000000 people who had been relying on that money since that many of them lost their jobs during the pandemic and also means that there's a big question as to whether people who have not been able to pay their rent could suddenly find themselves a victim after january 1st that's because the moratorium one of the actions expires on new year's eve and finally there is the question of whether the federal government itself can continue to operate after monday night that's because there isn't a budget in place to fund the government and this bill would have allowed that government operations to continue so there's a lot riding on donald trump's decision to sign this bill or not sign this bill and so far it looks as if everything comes to a grinding halt over the rest of the weekend. in washington their time here whether

he is at a time. ox how i will storm bella continues to back to the north west of here you can see this massive cloud this current which has been sinking this way further south is behind this cold front significantly colder air coming through proper winter weather rattling in the cross the british isles as we go through the next 24 hours or so and down into the central mediterranean just about italy and the balkans another nasty little low there that's been producing some very heavy snow fall as well snow will become a little more expansive across the out says we go on into monday some parts could see maybe a meter of snow further north the remnants of better they'll dig down with cold northerly winds blasting in across many parts or way down into france just 10 celsius but fours and fives as for london and paris with a little wintry mix there as the cold air really set sail as we go on into or choose day notice quite a rash of snow flurries there across the low countries pushing across into central

back let's just have a quick skip through your top stories so far here on the news the e.u. has today begun one of the world's biggest coronavirus vaccination campaigns aiming to protect some 450000000 people eventually health care workers and care home residents in the 27 member bloc have been among the 1st to be back senate voting is underway in the central african republic despite the threat of violence the opposition wanted it to spawn and rebels have united to reject the polls they're accusing the president. of rigging the election. one other story unemployment support payments for millions of americans have probably ended after president trump refused to sign a coronavirus relief and spending bill the $900000000000.00 package was approved by

republicans and democrats in congress. ok let's get more on our main story here on the news are the mass vaccination drive underway across the e.u. portugal's health minister says a window of hope has now opened a warning there's still a difficult fight ahead it's a sentiment echoed by many leaders across the e.u. have been planning for months now on how best to get the vaccine out to those who need it most here's paul brennan. the refrigerated vans drove through the night destinations including rome paris spain and hungary the precious cargo the vaccine developed by pfizer biotech kept it between minus 70 and minus 80 degrees the mass inoculation is due to start in a coordinated launch later on sunday for the 1st job went to work at a hospital in budapest but those are all the she had a vaccination plan is ready with health workers at the front of the queue those working with patients in intensive care and emergency care units will be vaccinated

1st so they can continue their heroic struggle to save lives. europe has seen 16000000 coronavirus cases and suffered more than 400000 deaths the approval and distribution of this 1st vaccine is reason for considerable hope across the continent. but. we have in total $19500.00 doses which makes $3100.00 vials these dozes will be stored in our freezer at minus 80 degrees which will be done distributed to the different elderly homes and public hospitals . who started the company in the course of that we will start the immunization campaign on a large scale $1300000.00 doses of vaccine as will be delivered all over germany before the end of 2020 and then from january it will be even more each week almost 7 100000 doses every week in january more than $10000000.00 doses in the 1st quarter the relentless spread of the covert $1000.00 virus in the news that more

infectious variants are evolving as lent even more urgency to the vaccination program the variant 1st identified in the u.k. has now been discovered in other european countries to try to contain that variant thousands of truck drivers have spent christmas stranded at the u.k. port of dover and prevented from crossing to france unless they test negative for the virus the backlog remains stubbornly large despite the efforts of military reinforcements and lock downs have ruined the festive period for traditional high street retailers with shoppers ordered to stay at home coronavirus has hollowed out the u.k. high street this is oxford street london's primary avenue and instead of hundreds of thousands of people out take advantage of the boxing day sales the shops are closed instead of festivity and bustle it's a long and barren the street empty. with corona virus europe has enjoyed much the same tories 2020 as the rest of the world the hope is that from sunday things will

start to improve. paul brennan al-jazeera london. at least 11 people have been killed after 3 avalanches in the mountains north of the iranian capital tehran rescue workers are searching for 7 people reportedly missing since friday and other 7 climbers have been taken to hospital with frostbite. a high level egyptian delegation is on its way to libya for peace talks they'll meet with officials from the un recognized government in tripoli the egyptian delegation includes the defense minister the deputy foreign minister and the deputy head of intelligence it all comes a day after the eastern warlord only for half to threaten to use force against tripoli. joins us live now from tripoli so mark mood as far as the egyptian delegation is concerned what's the the u.s.p. they can bring to the table here. well peter or they're trying to bring time is back to normal with western libya as you know that

relations between western libya and egypt. have been halted for the past 6 years since 2014 since the egyptian embassy was closed down here in tripoli and the egyptian regime has been involved in supporting and backing get the warlords really for have to deal with weapons and they're not only militarily and politically as well the d.n.a. which is the government of national. international government in tripoli has cut relations with the egyptian regime since it is there now the egyptian delegation which includes it intelligence and foreign ministry officials is due to meet. libya's foreign minister how much they yell out along with the deputy prime minister ahmed ateek and the interior minister. also they will meet also with the

intelligence chief of the international the internationally recognized a government of national accord on top of the edge in doubt issues related to. bringing ties back to normal between the 2 regions and also issues related to consulate issues issues issues related to visa. between. normally to citizens of both countries but there is a big question here many people despite the fact that there is a trend inside the international community government to why not bringing relations back to normal with egypt since the egyptian regime is at play a key player in libya in the libyan crisis why not if we can convince them to come to peace rather than to war and support have to but on the other hand there is anger here many people in the government in

political parties troops on the ground are very angry they have been surprised by this visit and they say that they cannot. expect any peace from egypt or from the egyptian regime in fact since has been courting all the military campaigns led by her thought over the past 6 years ok we've also got another development mahmoud focusing on what's going on or the administration in tripoli we've heard clear strong signals from turkey as well saying but if only for half terms forces do anything against a turkish presence on the ground that means that his forces will be seen as legitimate targets on the part of turkey what's your reading of that. well definitely the defense of most of our car during his visit yesterday in

tripoli he was talking to his troops the turkish troops the turkish military experts in tripoli who have been tasked with training libyan forces with the government of national accord and this statement by car comes only a couple of days after out of the threats made by have of that have to threaten to attack. minutes of prisons in libya now is trying to make sure that his forces in libya are not being intimidated but have to the threats and meanwhile a car at 13 back that in case have those forces attacked the turkish for says in libya they will be and their supporters not only have those forces have their forces and their supporters would be a legitimate target. ok we'll have to leave it there martin thank you very much mark joining us live there from tripoli. well there are

a 1000 refugees and migrants are stranded in the open in freezing weather in bosnia herzegovina a fire this week destroyed much of the camp close to the border with croatia. explains. that these migrants have nowhere to go they're stranded in a refugee camp and most are herzegovina their goal is to reach western europe but for now their focus is surviving the winter storm the labor camp near the croatian border has no heat and no proper facilities lined outside in subzero temperatures refugees wait for a donated meal and perhaps a sleeping bag from the red cross we are living like and the most human and he well knew like better. so please i request. you i know i us all and yours to help us because if they cannot help us we really don't. so please help us a fire broke out on wednesday the same day the camp was meant to be shut down

a un official says it was likely said by migrants frustrated with the schedule closure and lack of alternatives now most of the infrastructure that house more than 1500 people this is strong were damaged diddy's it no anything and no blankets and no. better place for sleep and you know what there is of many problems and i to go review doing that there are reports of frostbite and hypothermia proper shoes is a luxury many here can't afford the e.u. has warned bosnia the thousands of migrants face a freezing winter without shelter but politics is getting in the way. plans to relocate migrants have been met with protests and resistance from residents and authorities have so far failed to find new accommodations for thousands of people from asia the middle east and north africa the situation has been described as a disaster opon a disaster and the u.n.

for a nother subject but again there's $500.00 leads are running through so there's all kinds of individuals we're looking for that i am fairly confident we'll be able to identify an individual or ascertain what has occurred those remains found at the scene might belong to a bomber who was killed in the attack but it is unclear if anyone was inside the recreational vehicle when it detonated. block after block in the woods country music capitol were damaged and windows completely caved in. and it won't be up immediately and next thing you know already heard screams and the sirens going off the explosion was heard miles away. turning restaurants and live music venues to rubble and disabling mobile phone networks the explosion l side of an 880 transmission center it was apparently aimed
