choose their leader based 2 she's responsible for this mission. and the constitutional court and the date is to 27th this is what africans come to vote and i myself came to fulfill my civic duty well governed so i've been following developments from the capital bangui there has been problems in that town of prayer 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 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 seem. similar things in other towns in the provinces of

peoples in some towns people hiding out afraid to come out to vote in other places a polling stations have not opened yet a lot of intimidation by armed groups are being told in some places walled by the u.n. says that these problems are localized to very few areas most of the country safe for people to go out to vote they say that most of the polling stations more than 3000 polling stations have been open and people are free to go and vote. terry is from the french institute of international relations his work focuses focuses on central and southern africa he thinks president where there is reelection won't resolve the security problems. the fact that bosy and the armed groups are refusing those elections. of course. and the problem but i think 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 of 70 percent of the territory and even if president where they are is reelected. they say the we but you really need. security situations not going to change they will still controls the venti percent of the territory so what we are basically is a kind of gun style election like it up and not against them in $29000.00 calls have also not housed in the share a nation looking to deliver its 1st peaceful handover of power president obama to a cellphone was elected after a coup in 20 method he is stepping down after 2 terms his preferred successor mohamed leads a 30 strong field of candidates and share

a struggling with armed movements and one spread policy. was a very courageous decision for today's a special day for us and a special day for the share which will experience a democratic transition of power for the 1st time in its history i hope it will be the 1st step towards more changes to consolidate our democratic process and our reputation as a democratic country in africa and the world. i'm editor is live for us in the capital niamey ahmed. as are saying polls is closed can you tell us what the turnout was like and when we might expect results. will came the polls have closed in such an areas but at the polling station we know most of the polling booths are still receiving voters simply because they opened late so it polling station across malaysia is expected to clock 11 hours on the day before it

closes but generally there was a lower turnout in the morning as some polling stations opened late but then eventually we saw an uptick in the number of voters who arrive to register as we speak at this polling station voters continue to troop into the venue here to cast their ballots and this polling station for example with so many polling booths is expected to close in the next 54 minutes or so so that's the situation right now in this polling station but we hear that in other polling stations that opened on time today most of them have closed so the tallying of the votes will now continue shortly in those polling stations and i'm a this is a very important day isn't it i mean this is the the safest time that there's been a peaceful handover of power so this is a very crucial day for the country. it's

a very critical and very important milestone for this country we've had so many ups and downs of democratic governance in west africa so many coups here and so many instead unstable governments in this part of the world so for president mohamed use of 8 a thing of pride to be the one to hand over from one elected president civilian president to another and the sheeran's are actually looking forward to that moment at least in the words of president mohamed use of will to mark a process of stable democracy in this country that's what they want to achieve and that is what they want to build upon and a lot of people really impressed with his records and with opinion or other with this action of not trying to stay beyond the 2 terms limit as enshrined in the constitution while some of his colleagues in west africa guinea ivory coast have

all changed their constitutions and run some referendums that allowed them to contest again for 30 a lot of people are really appreciative of this particular effort i spoke to one of the evolution of this is in fact of very very important event in the history of leisure. thank you for that update there are made it's a sign for us in the armed. one of the world's biggest coronavirus vaccination campaigns has begun in the e.u. it aims to protect 450000000 people across 27 countries leaders have held the program as a moment of unity and hope health care workers the elderly and top politicians are among those getting the 1st jabs of the pfizer biotech vaccine has also kicked off its an occupation campaign the last gulf country to do so mons also reopening its borders on tuesday after having closed them to prevent a mutated strain of corona virus from getting in meanwhile israel is entering its 3rd nationwide lockdown prime minister benjamin netanyahu says he hopes it will be

the last one that the vaccination campaign will bring back a degree of normality within weeks we'll have more on the situation in israel shortly but 1st here's dominic cain's report from berlin. when get a good heart or was born good world was coming to terms with the so-called spanish flu pandemic now 101 years later she's become the 1st person in berlin to receive the bio on tech pfizer coronavirus vaccine as a resident of a care home she knows how deadly covert can be there are there are several fairies and this is very dangerous we hear and read about it and there are so many people dying in other homes it's horrible and that's why it's so good that we can be vaccinated against it it is a big advantage for all of us who live here such scenes have been repeated in care homes in clinics across the european union this isn't that's made them i think that you know that the pandemic won't just disappear as of today but the vaccine is the beginning of the victory over the pandemic the vaccine is

a game changer we have always known that in today's the 1st day of this new phase millions of doses of the vaccine have been dispatched to massive vaccination centers around the e.u. in the run up to the new year in some places there have been isolated reports of problems with the cooling mechanisms required to keep the bio on tech pfizer vaccines safe but overall in the e.u. institutions there is confidence all of us because we have made sure that in europe itself people get vaccines and we have a broad axe import for europe to make sure that if a vaccine doesn't work that we then have other candidates for it in the german capital the government's aim is to inoculate as many as 5000000 people by next april this is another of the mass vaccination centers the former airport in temple hoff more than 70 years ago this place was instrumental in the berley an airlift when fresh supplies of hope millions of us now once again it finds itself in the

forefront this time in the fight against coated dominant cane al-jazeera at berlin's old temple port. lauren i read is that western or islam for a sirene locked on a started in israel how strict is it and how long might it last. well as you mentioned we're a few hours into this is a very full on lockdown basically in the country it's due to last about 2 weeks but health officials are saying that that is likely to be extended and it will reach about a total of 3 to 4 weeks numbers really of infection here have been really surging recently reaching about 4000 cases recorded per day but health officials also said that if this long down hadn't come into place that those numbers could reach about 9000 a day in terms of the restrictions people are not allowed to go outside of

a kilometer range away from their homes and most businesses are going to be closed except for anything that's considered essential so groceries and pharmacies and so on and so forth the big concern here though are schools schools are for the most part supposed to continue to be open to be open and health officials are worried that that is exactly the reason why the lockdown will be extended in terms of the vaccinations that you've mentioned the government says that about 250000 israelis have been vaccinated or over the past week and prime minister netanyahu said yesterday that they're hoping to reach about $150.00 backs in nations per day he also said that he spoke to madonna and pfizer and asked them to meet that demand so we'll just have to wait and see if those doses arrive and when bill arrives irene nasa and west are awesome thank you. part of the u.k.

of a wants to expect more flooding and strong winds they've already been days of west weather from the approaching storm balla rivers have been rising particularly high in the county of bedford ship where many homes have been evacuated or a challenge says this update from clapham in bed to cheer for the river's best its banks. the river here is called the river great and as you can see it's considerably greater than normal at the moment it's burst its banks it has flooded parts of the town of bedford and surrounding villages on christmas day 1300 residents were told that they should seriously think about moving out and finding somewhere else to stay it's not only in bed but sure the council of north hampton sure has also experience fighting with another 1000 people they're being told that they should seek a merge and see accommodation on christmas day as well as the 25th of december it's going down now that is something to be thankful for also something to be thankful

for is that the covert restrictions we are in the toughest here of covert us restrictions in the u.k. here here for which basically means that the people who should be staying inside and and not seeing friends and family what do you do if you're being told to get out of your home and you can't go and stay with friends and family the police are said temporarily at least for the moment the flood warnings override the covert restrictions and should people should go and stay with those they need to to get out of the flood danger this is all part of storm bella which has been lashing the u.k. over the last few hours and days the highest winds recorded on the isle of wight 170 kilometers an hour travel disruption around the country train lines being flooded and cross channel routes being disrupted as well. it's more ahead on the news all including all the teenager dedicated to ending child marriages in bangladesh. we're living like and the most he went on the world knew like.

us. we report on the plight of thousands of refugees and migrants stranded in freezing cold. without shelter. and everybody gets a late invitation to play at the 1st tennis grand slam of the new year details coming up whichever. federal investigators in the u.s. have searched the home as they look for clues to a christmas day explosion in nashville 3 people were hurt and about 40 buildings were damaged in the past all pervasive held another media briefing let's head over to john hendren who joins us now from nashville john what they have to say what more have we learned. well they painted a really fascinating picture of what exactly happened around that motor home

explosion here in downtown nashville on christmas morning we heard from the officers who responded to a scene of what they expected to be gun fire and now they are speculating that that might have just been a sound that the bomber inside the r.v. was broadcasting and they said as they were hearing warnings from that r.v. . that there would be a detonation that people should evacuate they said they went out and cleared buildings around them of people that very likely contributed to the fact that nobody outside of that vehicle is apparently died and that only 3 people were injured and one of the officers said eerily that the bomber played music in between warnings about an impending detonation and just before the r.v. exploded he said he heard petunia clark song downtown broadcasting across the area that was exploded that devastation of course was massive and it knocked

out much of an 80 and t. transmission center and police have focused on a person of interest a man named anthony quinn warner a 63 year old man who lived alone in the nearby and in the nearby town of antioch about 15 kilometers away and they searched his home and are now poring through the contents of that home very interestingly he apparently transferred the deed of that home without telling her to a woman in california she is not talking about the incident but that is part of what has made this such an intriguing incident that along with the fact that pictures show a recreational vehicle on his property that looked very much like the one that exploded on friday. john the the r.v. exploded outside or near to an 800 building a telecommunications company there in the u.s. i know communication systems were impacted has everything been repaired now why is

that us. no it hasn't what has happened is that temporary cell towers have been set up for mobile phone use but internet is knocked out as far away as 40 miles or i spoke to someone this morning lives in the town of spring hill who said that the internet connections have been out there that phone service has been intermittent that stores who had their credit card machines impacted were operating on shorter hours in some cases only taking cash and then of course you've got that whole downtown area where 41 buildings have been damaged or completely leveled as a result of this explosion it's going to take some time to get that system back up and it will take months possibly years for nashville to rebuild what has been destroyed here. john hendren there for us in nashville thank you. flow over the $23.00 girls under the age of 18 and married every minute and the

child protection system i really appreciated the the algo the all out speaking before because she also mentioned the child helpline 198 in bangladesh which we know with the help of the government of bangladesh has thousands of children's lives during the lockdown with emergency response to those children through case like in case management where you need to continue to increase and strengthen child protection systems moving forward if we're ever going to. have a chance to speak from one we have all so many to decrease the amount of child marriage over the last 4 years due to global program with u.f.t.a. and unicef and the multi-stakeholder program we were able to reduce from 59 percent to 51 percent of getting married in bangladesh before the age of i saying. well

nation looking to deliver its 1st peaceful handover of power president mohamed who is a fool who came to power in a coup before being elected 2011 is stepping down after 2 terms his preferred success there is mohamed. the european union has begun one of the world's largest coronavirus speculation campaigns maybe to protect some 450000000 people health care workers and residents in the 27 member been among the 1st to be inoculated. high level egyptian delegates are in libya for talks with the un recognized government they're pushing to normalize relations between cairo and tripoli the visit has been met with surprise from some of the libyan capital because egypt's been supporting the tripoli government rival in the east warlord holly for half dark days ago have president to use force against turkish troops in libya support from turkey helps tripoli resist as offensive to take the capital on saturday

turkey's defense minister also paid a visit to the libyan capital he warned against attacking his troops. go ahead joins us live now from tripoli tell us about the egyptian delegations visit was this expected. well kim it was not expected actually but meanwhile this folks woman of the. libya's foreign affairs minister you just tweeted that saying that based on today's talks developments in the ties between the 2 countries are expected specially in diplomatic ties between the 2 countries but this visit origin of it was not expected given the fact that the egyptian regime was one or a measure backer of the warlord to flee for have to the delegation which included

foreign and intelligence officials met with the libya's foreign minister of the d.p. to prime minister the interior minister and also intelligence and defense officials here in western libya they discussed issues related to activating diplomatic ties between the 2 countries and also issues related to the opening the egyptian consulate in tripoli but meanwhile they also talked about activating a v.a. ssion between the 2 countries as you know that the egyptian regime has been accused of backing the warlords for half that politically and militarily and meanwhile the officials with the government of national court say because egypt is a key player so why not inviting egypt to play a role in trying to achieve peace in libya we know that the regime has been

supporting the warlords prefer have to in all his military operations over the past 6 years but now since the option delegation has visited tripoli today met with officials with the government of national accord. so the question now where there are not other meetings will be held between the 2 parties especially with many factions on the ground oppose this visit but they do not expect. any peaceful solution coming from the egyptian regime because of the recent history of the egyptian regime supporting the warlord khalifa haftar ahmed of overhead live for us in tripoli thank you u.s. president donald trump has refused to sign a $900000000000.00 coronavirus relief in spending bill the baggage 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 who

trump wants that increased to 2000 separate hands it is in washington d.c. for us see how and as all of this happens of course benefits for many people who need them will be running out. on saturday night yes it will became clear millions up to 14000000 people will get their last extended unemployment check this week this is these are the this is the other employment extension that was passed and in march as part of the 1st coronavirus stimulus stimulus bill no one knows what's happening it was so clear from the sunday morning show from members of congress that they just didn't know what what what would happen happen next or mean was playing golf in florida he didn't meet the deadline on saturday to ensure that unemployment benefits wouldn't be interrupted there's a growing sense of fear i think among some that he just plans to do nothing to sit on the bill not sign it at least or not sign it or not veto it officially at least to be vetoed officially then congress would have

a would be able to do something to be able to to meet and attempt to get a 2 thirds majority in the house in the senate to try to override his veto but as it is it looks increasingly like don't drop is just going to do nothing and that means that is congress can't do anything really about it and everything just expires the clock runs out on this session of congress on january the 3rd the new session of congress begins january 3rd joinery 4th and they just start again from scratch which means that millions and millions of people who are lying not just about employment benefits but the eviction moratorium on the aid of a small businesses they're not going to get anything there's going to be some big gap here of stimulus money and evictions could start and so on while congress tries to get to grips with another stimulus package it's really really unclear what's going to happen whether trump really is holding out for 2000 dollars checks instead of 600 dollars checks for individuals to help them through the through the coronavirus economic hardship or whether this is really just getting his own back because congress has now recognized obama's victory. thank you for that chandra

towns in washington d.c. i want to put that question to steve clemons who is in chestertown there than he is the host of islands there is the bottom line steve why do you think donald trump is facing off with his own posse on this. i think it's a time you do a lot of movies out there right now this is sort of a hybrid of the grinch who stole christmas meets the madness of king george i think donald trump is very upset that he lost the election doesn't want to reward the government system in america for rejecting him and i think that he is going out with a lot of chaos and i think at the end of the day you know as some people have said the republicans who are supporting him including the president himself continue to send out letters to people raising hundreds of millions of dollars to ask them to support the president in this time of need and many people call this a kind of voter scam if you will because there's no chance to overturn the election

and by not signing this bill he's keeping himself in the papers he's keeping himself in the head light and it's a disaster for the country and i guess said the same time the payoff for this must be pretty good if if he's being seen as the want to not want to give people a measly 6 $100.00 but instead to give people $2000.00. well it depends on how you look at it i mean here is his secretary of the treasury and his chief of staff negotiated this deal it's his own republicans they didn't want to go above $600.00 this is not anymore a contest between donald trump and nancy pelosi it's a contest between donald trump and his own cabinet secretaries and staff and donald trump and mitch mcconnell and the leading senators of the republican party that's where the war is right now and he's making them look like that and so so i find it a fascinating time that yeah maybe he looks good by this but it was the republicans

that objected to the vote when nancy pelosi said ok let's let's raise it to $2000.00 but the republicans objected to that going forward steve what is the impact of this delay going to be for every day americans. tragic we have somewhere between 12 and 13000000 americans who are losing now right now their extended unemployment benefits and the other thing that's going on that not many people talk about is that there's been any moratorium in many parts of the country on a vision from of current so if they were unable to pay rent if they were having challenges so we have the simultaneous financial clip of people losing the money they have to put food on the table for their kids and families combined with possibly being even did from the apartments that they were renting so it's a staggering impact right during the holiday season before a new congress comes in and it is is so unbelievable because even the financial

markets thought this was a done deal until the president just said no i don't like that and so it's it is an interesting moment we should we should study this for a long time but this is not a lesson in grace when a president leaves office this is a cripple a lesson in chaos and it's going to really harm millions of americans and finally it steve something has been talked about so much but is a question i have is it for all that the stimulus spending where all is all this money coming from will there be a long 10 impact of all this government spending. you know it's a great question and it's a question not asked enough the president before president trump and his administration before this crisis hit head hit were already hitting the highest deficit figures of any presidency in modern history upwards of a $1.00 trillion dollars deficit a year that has gone up so enormously with these large packages now governments

have the ability to loan themselves money it undermines long term confidence perhaps in the economy but that's why governments are established as to respond in these times what i think is interesting is that with president trump's tax bill which he did before it didn't put america's economic house in order when america was growing and when we had a very low unemployment rate when the financial system was working well he cut taxes at that moment and really undermined. the america's debt position then then qubit hit and that is that is when topple. easily the debt challenges of of the united states right now so it's huge but it was huge before this even began. thanks so much for you time. the host of the on for. recovered 19 is taken over the news this year but there were many scientific breakthroughs that you may have actually missed like how scientists developed

a clock but in the next how accelerated the brain aging is links to alzheimer's disease they also found that swimming in cold water can help stop dementia in indonesia researches realise that a scheme to reduce poverty also ended up slowing deforestation in september we learned of the discovery of phosphate gas in the atmosphere of venus this caused quite a stir mainly because false rain can be an indicator of the presence of life and this year researchers in canada or in the us identified the remains of t.-rex embryos the 70000000 year old fossils included a baby dinosaur jaw the size of a chihuahua and it turns out these mega beasts start out much smaller than earlier believed. let's think in francesco diego he is a senior research fellow at the department of physics and astronomy at university college london thank you so much for your time what are some of the big science

stories of the year from your field that we might have missed out on in 2020. well from my point of view one of the a major things has been the robotic exploration of the solar system we have proudly chinese the chunky 4 and now the chunky 5 doing amazing things from them on recall getting up a couple of kilograms of law material that is already being an ally seen the last week of crab. missions going through the asteroids like they are serious wrecks mission on the. mission from japan but also learned that if you come so far material from them from asteroids so all these missions having super i mean we can know the $33.00 spacecraft going to marks that will be landing in a couple of months 2 or 3 months time and they will be also exploring their planet mars. that's not us and it hasn't been done before which is quote all amazing is
