the alliance on al-jazeera. al-jazeera. every. this is al-jazeera. it's a w watching the news hour live from our headquarters here in doha coming up in the next 60 minutes. some cheer across 3 you nations is a massive vaccination program gets under way the blocks leaders are hailing it as a moment of unity and hope. voters defy threats from armed groups in central

african republic rebels on the former president call for a boycott of the vote. coronavirus benefits on hold millions of americans face financial uncertainty as president from refuses to sign a pandemic relief bill. when we speak of the teenage activist trying to end child marriage in bangladesh. and i'm sort of high as with all your sports news the portland trail blazers edged the houston rockets in a high scoring overtime thriller that some more later this news hour. the european union has rolled out one of the world's biggest coronavirus vaccination campaigns it aims to protect 450000000 people across 27 countries the blocs leaders have hailed the program as a moment of unity and hope

a group of nurses in rome were the 1st in italy to receive the pfizer bio on tech vaccine it's really was one of the 1st in europe to go into lockdown you'll remember the 1st vaccination in spain was given to a 96 year old out of celi it delgo who lives in a care home in the city of god a lot harder germany has also started an immunization program vaccinating a group of care home residents a woman aged 101 years was among the 1st to be inoculated there dominick cain joins us live now from berlin dumb i mean thousands perhaps tens of thousands maybe in the coming few days but we're talking understandably i mean the timeline here has got to be months not weeks until we get to the stage where everyone is back vaccinated because this is a herculean task. the point about this is that most of the vaccines that have been developed so far require 2 different injections so when you hear talk of the number of doses of the vaccine to

be made available right now for the rest of december for the 1st few weeks of the new year you have to divide it by 2 and remember that there is a period of 3 weeks in most cases between the 1st injection and the 2nd injection which completes the program of immunization for each individual so we know that here in germany the talk has been of 1300000 doses being made available in the last days of december with a view according to the health ministry the federal health ministry to immunizing more than 5000000 people in the course of the 1st quarter of 2021 but consider there are 85000000 838485 1000000 germans who will need to be immunized that means only one in 17 will be immunized by the end of the 1st quarter if that figure is accurate then extrapolate from that to the rest of the european union you can see that it must be said logically if the mathematics remains the way it is right

now that the vast majority of people will be waiting a very considerable time to receive their vaccinations should they choose to accept being vaccinated. ok don thank you very much dominic king our correspondent there in berlin ok we're now going to do something a little bit different we're going to talk to dr gloria tully army professor of infectious diseases at penza university in rome she joins us from in italy where she is just about to get vaccinated dr welcome to the news are we can see the needle coming in to your left. or right so whenever you're a nurse. ok whatever your nurse or nurse practitioner is ready take it away and as you're having the injection done just take me through the process now doctor so you get this injection today you get another one in 3 weeks and then 7 days

after that in theory you are immune to coronavirus. a lot of. it was really. there you go congratulations well done. ok. it is an hour away from the road waiting for a scenario that is so very far. more. and more of the. you know of. no other times her. marriage he. has seen even before. said. ok.

he's a very good. ok doctor i'm going to interrupt you there for a 2nd if i may whoever's got their hand on the mobile phone or the i pad they just need to put you in the middle of the shot there we go that's perfection. just dr give me a sense if you can we can see the little sticking plaster on your left shoulder in terms of the physiology or anyone who's got any worries or anxiety about having this inoculation in terms of the physiology you know which is what is going on inside your bloodstream right now i do not want to believe is that. our it. was. reasonable to have your desire for me to do you share how do the problem release her that. and simple. seems to her funeral tomorrow.

but the messenger. who i am really into all this was in a sense to just told you it was the drugs they had nothing for hadn't really noticed and. they. from the census i was browsing the moves and i am. going. to be ok and bert's the fires are by on tech vaccine but. today that is not a live vaccine so there's nothing that we could call coronavirus has now been injected into you so does that mean ok for anyone watching this does that mean that if they have the pfizer biotech vaccine you won't get any symptoms even mild symptoms of covert 19 over the coming 3 or 4 days. after

her. she will never see her so. they had mentioned her and there are some who. she said there. there is. none of that i'm going to. have. to say. to her. kids. who are seeing it is your country suffered so badly when coronavirus hit when it hit europe it really really hit italy within the regions or the areas that suffered the most are the relevant medical authorities as well as clearly targeting the elderly or people with comorbidity

health issues underlying health issues i mean are they going after particular areas and how do you think the rollover of the vaccine will happen in your country. well i didn't really talk to the way our people see things as he's kept us safe. he may have come over and. see him. over trouble over the sea and any other thing that her oldest people already have cheney and the other. seats for us. so it was you must be there have. also seen the army service. a lot of people. dr gloria tell me on and thank you so much for coming on and thank you for having that in real time live here with us on

the al-jazeera news hour we do appreciate your time they will have had good luck last most of the come for you here on the news hour including signs of progress in the 1st peaceful transfer of power since independence looks likely. u.s. investigators say the national christmas day blast was probably a suicide bomb but the motive remains a mystery. and the former france national team coach makes a comeback sorry we'll have the details in sport in about 30 minutes. elections well underway in central african republic a crucial test for a nation that suffered years of violence and instability the u.n. is reporting voters are being intimidated in the town of brega but observers say the poll is going smoothly elsewhere the opposition and rebels accuse the president

to a debt of rigging the vote straight now to catherine soil in the capital bangui catherine what else do we know about these reports of trouble i'm assuming here is to the west of where you are. yes and the u.n. sent out this tweet just a little while ago saying that there has been problems in that town of korea they said that groups have been shooting in the air in different polling stations had scared people away but then also this statement says that u.n. peacekeepers have been reinforced more peacekeepers have been deployed to that area and that now for now it seems that the situation has been contained but then people are still afraid like i say the run away and we're not just talking about bria we're also hearing of similar. similar things in other towns in the provinces of

people in some towns people hiding out afraid to come out vote in other places polling stations have not opened yet a lot of intimidation by armed groups are being told in some places as well but the u.n. says that these problems are localized to very few areas most of the country say for people to go out to vote and they say that most of the polling stations more than 3000 polling stations have been open and people are free to go and vote and when you talk about the polling stations being open catherine we can see a good sized line of people behind you waiting to cast their ballot waiting for people whose cost the ballots family and friends to come to the polling station so clearly those people really want to exercise their democratic rights. yes they do and i mean a couple of hours are even more people that huge lot quite long the numbers are

just going to do thing as we approach to paul's closing and we have been in the last few hours just driving around the city to several polling stations to different neighborhoods just to get a sense of how the voting patterns and in all the polling stations that have gone we have seen people. in the pews waiting patiently to vote many of them telling us that they are the time and to vote for peace they say but we have also spoken to other people who are saying that they're not going to the world saying that they are worried about the security situation saying that they are tired of leaders who always break their promises and we have spoken to others as well who are saying no we are just staying put we're waiting to see how this situation unfolds and if we feel safe enough we'll come out to vote for my president francois visa he is the man who's being accused of being behind this rebellion he was he was recently disqualified for running for the election he's still very popular in this

country he's been telling his supporters do not go out to the polling stations do not vote let the president that's president vote by himself but from what we've seen peter people are coming out to the polling stations and they are voting it's going to be interesting though to see what the tunnel will actually be at the end of this ok catherine we'll talk to you later i'm sure in the meantime thank you very much catherine so important. well elections will be a crucial test for a peace agreement that's failed to stem rebel violence 17 presidential candidates are competing some of them president. is seeking a 2nd term he's promising to unify the country if he loses it could unravel the peace agreement signed in separate of 2019 boozy classrooms talking about that it was forced from power both in sick. years ago he is barred from running because of an international arrest warrant and un sanctions against him he's backing the former prime minister and main opposition candidate george. and the country's 6

main rebel groups of joined forces calling themselves the patriots coalition for change they wanted the elections to be pursued let's talk again to a theory of vehicle he coordinates the french institute of international relations observatory of central and southern africa he joins us on skype from paris cheery welcome back to the news hour for an election observers and for the ca ours neighbors is there an acceptable level of violence here that they can live with and after the election whoever wins everyone come and say yes this election still had integrity. it was. it's very unlikely actually because the reporter was saying you know the conditions of the elections all very you walk it's pretty clear on that they are not though looking station that are not of burnham that do not receive all that do not receive electoral

materials oh well there was there is a intimidation by armed groups and therefore the security situation is not conducive for people to vote so basically. the selection is not going to make the international stand out then we're very is elected and it's probably going to be the incumbent president we will not be a great team by most of the vote was. most of them will be able to cast their vote today really do you think it's that significant i mean are we saying that a high percentage of people are being scared away from voting because yes there's violence that we've established this is a fact there is violence in the west of the country but in the great economy in the capital city bunking people are going out to vote. yes definitely in bangui of

people are going out to war because that's basically the only city that isn't there or government control. still that's the situation. in the central african republic usually in the past election the rule people don't well it's only the euro but what. because it's only in the human areas where looking stations are set up but so that's already a part of the electorate usually does not vote what we're seeing knowing that even in the year benedict rate not everybody can want that and we have all of those your reporter say they are also people who decided not to wharton and who will boycott. color of that election and therefore all going to not a minority of vote even in call for the selection so we get silly keyed we'd be very badly indeed if we have a situation and say

a week or so when all the votes are counted if the election is deemed to have been broadly free and fair if we have micio posey standing by what he's said in the past 3 or 4 hours today which is he's kind of siding with the rebels and he's saying the election shouldn't be run if he stays in that same political space that the rebels would aspire to occupy and mr tatar the president is reelected nothing changes then surely unless you think the change is that coalescing of the rebel movement around mr was using. well i'm not really in that situation the political situation you'll neglecting of me or position party that are not. on the line we. and the main challenger of president what they are and he said little caylee. party

and that i'm mentioning them because of course the most important voice about the selection is going to be there was even the democratic opposition parties will accept and say that you know action needs free and fair or not i think that's going to be very important the fact that bosy and the armed groups are refusing that actions he's of course. and the problem but i feel what will be a key development in the coming weeks will be. position of the democratic opposition movement but anyway the security situation in the country has been bad for the past 5 years with the armed groups keeping control office 70 percent of the territory and even if president what they are is reelected. like say

the we need but do you really need. security situations not going to change that we've still control 70 percent of the territory so what we have basically is a kind of gun style election likely to happen enough against them 21000. and paris thank you very much. well those things also in play in the geron nation looking to deliver its 1st peaceful handover of power president. who was elected after a coup in 2011 he's stepping down after 2 terms his preferred successor mohammed does zoom leaves a 30 strong field of candidates in jail was struggling with movements and widespread poverty but it rests joins us live now from the capital the army so election day there as well how are things playing out. well things are going on smoothly peter sauber far so good according to the election commission voting across the country has been going on smoothly except in

areas where voting couldn't take place because of threats of violence and he said there was even some form of surprise when people in such in areas threatened by violence by boko haram and armed groups from neighboring mali and brooke in a flash so far got the sense that they are in fact voting today so he said even in those areas election is taking place but admitted that election is not taking place in such a near is because the threat to israel meanwhile in the capital here voting has been going on small glee in the early hours of today voting the turnout it wasn't impressive actually but as the day goes by we're seeing numbers of people growing by the hour and we have less than 4 hours to go in voting and you can see the crowd behind me although it just seemed out it is a little bit more decent than what we've seen today polls open at 8 o'clock

local time that there are 7 g.m.t. the election commission is telling us that before the day runs out they expect a larger turnout than it was in the morning and in the afternoon actually is it a single issue election when it. not at all peter a lot of people are worried not only about the security in the north in the west and soudan parts of. asia they're also concerned about the economy a lot of people are really awarded the impact of covered 9000 now they have a 2nd wave the impact will continue to grow and remember nigeria borders to trade with its neighbors through the land border areas landlocked it depended on nigeria for many of its import that has been blocked since august last year and it was only

recently that the nigerian government open for border points one with nice year the others who have been in the public and another neighboring country apart from that the nigerians are also really warry about showed insecurity of this year the floods have washed away farmlands and room but this is a country that depended largely on food rationing food assistance food aid from the international community and with the impact of book these demands are rising and rising in rising so that is the concern right now is security unemployment and poverty and all these are the major concerns in this election theater ok we'll leave it there thank you very much made it risks reporting live from new delhi mean . 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 it includes a one time payout for americans congress agreed to $600.00 for individuals the most

from once that increased to 2000 she have returns and joins us live from washington why the republicans in congress against this idea from a republican president. well this goes back to a principle that we've seen over many many years many decades really and that was the republicans always very happy to expand the u.s. is deficit if what is being spent upon is tax cuts for the very very wealthy so during the trump trump presidency $1.00 trillion dollars in tax cuts for the most wealthy in the country but when it comes to expanding the social safety net and in this case helping those who are economically desperate because of the pandemic they suddenly become huge deficit hawks and say well we don't want to obviously expand the deficit too to give stimulus checks to the poor and that's very much playing

out right now and all trying to sort of is sort of needling them in this huge contradiction that has always been at the center of the republican party in some ways the democrats as ready to be all of the democrats were really pushing for high stimulus checks for for the poor until bernie sanders out of the trump trompe and senator sort of pushing for $1200.00 in stimulus checks a few weeks ago and then that got back on the agenda of the both the democrats and the republicans $600.00 stimulus checks were finally agreed upon and this was hailed as a great success by don't trump treasury secretary steven newton whom congress thought they were negotiating with on behalf of donald trump but then when the whole stimulus plan was announced last week donald trump blindsided everyone by saying wait a 2nd 600 dollars that's not enough that's a disgrace they have every need $2000.00 checks. it's unclear whether what donald trump is up to because he hasn't said whether he's actually going to veto the bill at least to be vetoed the bill that congress could meet next week and try to override that veto in the meantime all that's happening despite what donald trump

is saying is that 14000000 people will lose their benefits they'll get the last extended unemployment benefits check this week and even if there is some signing of the bill eventually this week before that session of congress ends they will get less unemployment benefits because of this because of the delays so despite what all of trump is saying it's not really helping anyone. ok shihab thank you very much she have written see our correspondent in washington federal investigators in the u.s. are searching a home as they look for clues into an explosion on christmas day in nashville 3 people were hurt and about 40 buildings were damaged john hendren is there. in what could be a crucial break federal investigators searched the home of a person of interest in the nashville christmas the role of the man identified as 63 year old anthony quinn warner is not yet clear the top prosecutor in the case has his own name for whoever is responsible for this this is ultimate scrooge who

on christmas morning instead of spreading joy and sheer decide to spread devastation and destruction u.s. authorities pursuing more than $500.00 tips and leads expressed confidence after finding what they believe to be human remains near the site of the explosion saying there is no manhunt and no risk of a follow up attack at this point we don't have any indication that we are looking for a nother subject but again there's $500.00 leads were 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

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 'd 880 transmission center it was apparently aimed at property not people it happened in the predawn hours before tourists would have been filling up this part of town and before it exploded the recreational vehicle broadcast a warning for people around it to evacuate. 6 p. . these officers ran toward the danger clearing out residents just before an explosion that arrived before the bomb squad i'm grateful to the team behind us. and national depending on them to do a great job and our resolve as a community to both rebuild 2nd and to find the culprit is is very great that

discuss issues related to bringing good the diplomatic ties back to normal with their western a camp in libya which is led by the internationally recognized government that includes that includes consulate issues related to. granting visas to citizens of both countries and also to activate the asian between the 2 countries. also we have we have to i have to mention that the defense minister of turkey yesterday when he was here in tripoli he he threatened. not only have to but have to and his supporters he said that if have to have to his forces attack. military presence in libya then turkey would that tack after the troops and their supporters now we know that egypt is one of the major backers of the world lord

have to but now the visit of the egyptian delegation today has been met with anger from many people including officials and then one of the people who wonder how could the egyptian regime which is a major backer of have is trying to bring ties with the internationally recognized government of national called back to normal. ok we'll leave it there mark went thank you very much more with the word life the news in tripoli israel is entering what officials hope will be its 3rd and final national lockdown as a covert 19 vaccination campaign ramps up for the next 2 weeks people will only be allowed to travel up to one kilometer from their homes the measures common response to a recent surge in people testing positive for covert 19. correspondent i renounce is in west jerusalem irene locked on as a boat to start how's it looking there. yeah it's and in about less than 2 hours

the lock down it will be rolled out then it's due to last about 2 weeks but health officials are saying that it's likely to be extended to about 3 or 4 weeks in total as you mentioned infection rates have been rising quite a lot recently reaching about $4000.00 per day over the past few days there is also have been a few cases of the mutated strain that have been found here health ministry have said that without this lockdown those cases would have reached about $9000.00 per day now in terms of the restriction as you mentioned people are not allowed outside of a kilometer from their homes and businesses will mostly be closed other than essential including grocery stores as well as pharmacies the big debate at the moment though is education most of the classes that will be closed except for those between grates 5 and 10 now infection rates have been quite high in grades 11 and 12 excuse

me and some officials are saying that that is exactly why the reason that the lockdown may be extended vaccination process started last week we saw the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu having his inoculation how is the rollout going across other parts of the country. well so far the government says that about 280000 people have been vaccinated over the past week prime minister netanyahu said yesterday that they're hoping to reach about 150 vaccinations a day he said also that he spoke to madonna and 5 there and asked them asked them that they would meet this demand has estimated that about $4500000.00 israelis will be vaccinated within a month that's about half of the population now there are a few issues and one of which is that the vaccination rollout here in israel will obviously not include palestinians in the occupied west bank and gaza and it's

unclear at the moment how the palestinian authority will secure the vaccine for palestinians with such a dire economic situation there they have applied for world health organization program but that would only really vaccinate about 20 percent of the back of the population and rights organizations are saying that it's israel's obligation also to provide that vaccine to palestinians now there is daily interaction between palestinians and israelis and about 30 percent of the israeli population will not be vaccinated that would include women who are pregnant and those who are under 16 years of age so despite this vaccination rollout here in israel it seems like maybe not really be out of the woods in terms of the pandemic until palestinians are vaccinated as well thanks very much daryn a correspondent there in west jerusalem. but also the u.k. being warned to expect more flooding and strong winds to that have already been days of wet weather from the approaching storm bella rivers of people rising

particularly high in the county of bedfordshire in the london where many homes have been evacuated. at least 11 people have been killed after 3 avalanches in the mountains north of iran's capital rescue workers are searching for 7 people reportedly missing since friday another 7 climbers have been taken to hospital with frostbite. the coronavirus pandemic has put girls around the world at greater risk of child marriage that's because girls who are not in school more in danger of being forced into marriage the vast majority of them with grown men poverty also exacerbated by the pandemic is another major risk factor already over one 5th of girls worldwide are married before their 18th birthday in some countries the rate is much higher such as in egypt where 3 quarters of minor girls are married there is some progress over the past 10 years the rate of child marriage in south asia has dropped from 49 percent to 30 percent saving 25000000 girls from being trapped

in abusive homes. globally 23 girls under the age of 18 married every minute and the pandemic is causing a rise in those figures generally speaking the u.n. forecasts that up to 13000000 girls may be forced into marriage over the next 10 years we spoke to dolla actor a teenage activist from bangladesh and she and her colleagues have stopped more than 600 child marriages in the last 2 years. hi and. basically i like to golf with among them. how was your childhood and what is the best memory you have used. so that then my mom was not that good to say because my mom mostly gave matt it activated so just because of from that i have got inspiration on this issue so then i see that. there

is a child from the. problems national from basically gets added are going to. stop jemera this and also want to create doubt for an environment that enjoyed their rights and more than. for that so damn you are through fascinated graining on ending jan maris and i am most active in. community. and we have. so. golf we both mother about that is because we think that. they're all of a ninja and we said yes we thought. for solving this kind of problem we are making some kind of dialogue with the policy makers we saw there something. come to us. then why does the bad think of jan matters and how they can play a vital role to get. any kind of news of violence and marriage or something.

then we call there and just going to get any kind of full stitch and then we went with the police and fire and then us and they give us a forced into the venue are to solve the problem when we got the news of the days of going to give jammers then we've got like some kind of information that where does the age of that and why they're giving gen marriage so then we went to. the family and are stand that the way they are given their way of saying they don't want to invest on this go and they don't want to be at the cost of education so they're so they're giving john those then we'll try to advocate with the family and motivated them and then finally restart their general marriage this girl is 14 years old and she is reading in class 5 ring this bandini in last 2 months in october was at them too good for marriage and somehow we tell from the news and

successfully we have stopped this gender is where we live that if a girl get married and that is and maybe hard childhood story or childhood memory we also destroy it. and we have a plan and we have a mission recently like we want to quit just that from internationally where everyone can frequently and there will lie about their rights and they will work for others rights because we believe their children can understand other students. joining us now is not only macaulay chief child protection officer bangladeshi joins us from dakar berkeley macauley $23.00 girls per minute that's an astonishing statistic why does it keep on happening. i mean child marriage is an extraordinarily desperately negative event in a child's life obviously it continues to happen because the negative associations
