waving at supporters as they climbed off their flight attendant app told members of yemen's new unity government. returned days after being sworn into office at a ceremony and saudi arabia. but the hopes of rebuilding the country after more than 6 years of civil war turned into chaos a devastating attack on agency international airport and the work of more than a year of saudi breakup talks and a deal signed in 2019 now in question the government members were led to safety but analysts say the authority of the new administration has been undermined this is a beautiful residence that the challenges are very serious the challenges are enormous. that unity government will have to deal with serious challenges on the ground. and no matter what no matter who stands behind this explosion i think that is a huge security breach has happened yemen's new prime minister moved quickly to try

and restore confidence you're both with the people this attack gives the government the responsibility to put an end to the quick the and to restore the country and the state again the government an ardent will go on continue its job supported by the people of yemen we will never let our people down the terrorists never defeat our people we will be victorious we will accept nothing but victory. sides government was formed as a compromise between you a backed separatist in the southern transitional council of aden and saudi backed loyalists of president abu reprimand so hardy in riyadh the 2 camps for to each other after separatists declared a state of emergency and self government in aden and surrounding southern provinces but together they aim to launch a knighthood front against iran backed huth iraq was in yemen's capital sana'a who deny they were behind the attack but the bloodshed at the airport is likely to put any hopes of peace in yemen back

a long way barbara and al jazeera while it circles the sun and can join across one of the howard. mohammed what more we learn. yes according to the sources that we have talked to and also you have mentioned earlier that the the. no nobody has not yet claimed this is responsibility were the whole piece from their side this say that the don't have anything to do with the attacks has been confirmed that these missiles that have had to be put according to the sources talk to the tape told me that the the they have seen 3 missiles that have had to be the field of the airport and also nearby the the launch of the plots before they were just minutes after the arrival of the members of the newly formed a unity government this incident bring also worries that. the latest

stricken agreements between the the legitimate government and also the transitional council could be could face in danger especially that the saudis themselves mentioned and the other be have intercepted a host the drone near the presidential palace. that has been reported earlier by a citizen that has heard some kind of an explosion but we couldn't confirm such things and also the hotties from their side they say that they don't have anything to do with the with the what is going on in aden. say that the the this shouldn't be involved or accused by such accusations that the. number of observers blame the united arab. the. mean the main supporter of the current chaos as they say and they claim but also we couldn't confirm busy any

moment of any party as this deal could pave the way for the return back of stability security to the war torn country. i came out thanks for that i mounted on a tab in sun let's speak now to much of where he who is director of the gulf study center cut university joins us live from here in doha and welcome to the program so this is clearly a violence laden message whoever is responsible not happy at all with that unity government what is the way forward for that unity government in the face of such chaos well like this is this isn't a strong indicator there is a serious security vacuum in yemen and that security. will not be felt by only by political process it's obvious that there is a need to have to build strong military strong armed forces where they can help the political process to be stabilized and to be settled. if you look at the number of

yemeni military our armed forces there you know the optimistic expose they say cannot be exceeded maybe 100. 20000 in the whole yemen and some of them actually are not paid for months so this can tell you how much it's a serious issue and yemen so what's the way of forward i think there is no doubt that you need yemen needs a serious political process but also needs to this situation building institutions that can support the political process but we've been saying that for years now. of course but the issue is. that we had in the region the same issue in iraq in. libya in lebanon the same you know without

having strong institutions without having having unity within between different forces within and without having international real international support one party or one single player cannot stew ation so the initiative to have this the in order so called the other you of course was not expected to finish the whole conflict in yemen because it was the well it was the you know the support of one country we know that there are parties you know that are not a state actors have no interest to have your men settled they have an interest to see the status quo continue because that is the way they can have all of them and that is the way right now which group which brings me on the queue which just let me jump in there which brings me on to the next question who would have the most to gain from this attack. all in all is was not that he and the scene in the last few years says since there was a drug and i thought of it all the announcement of the oath him yeah from yemen. i

was up he was you know presenting yemen in directly we know that they had a stronger presence in and aden and and so called south yemen we know that they don't want to have you know a united yemen so there i think what with the correspondent was saying that a lot of observers they you know all signed to. that is it's obvious that they were not happy up riyadh. because this is this is basically drawing young men to that action that they want out of and what it is that is not happy and also they are you know intelligent forces you know oh he's one of them some forces in the south of yemen they don't want to seem such thing because they are not you know participating on the all of this there were marginalized so there is an issue within him in the political a map and also the regional players who are actually not happy with it you don't

know what's the position of iran and as well. as any great to get your perspective on this to pretend that thanks very much thank you nic millions. now the battle against coronaviruses take another leap forward after health regulators in the u.k. approved the vaccine developed by also university scientists in the pharmaceutical company astra zeneca it is the 3rd vaccine to be approved in the west and joins it is manufactured by pfizer by and taken with russia and china they're also distributing shots but haven't yet completed mass testing the us with astra zeneca vaccine has some advantages over the other 2 it's much cheaper to buy in and can be kept in a regular fridge is easier to store unlike the pfizer shot which requires ultra cold storage and even as approval was being announced in the u.k. the orders for tens of millions of doses were confirmed by both taiwan and indonesia as many as $3000000000.00 doses are expected to be produced well wide by

the end of next year or despite that approval 3 quarters of england will be under the top level of cope with 90 restrictions from thursday the british health secretary met hancock saying the sharp rise in cases has made that necessary this new variant is now spreading across most of england and cases of doubling fast it is therefore necessary to apply to full measures to a wide area including the remaining parts of the southeast as well as large parts of the midlands the northwest the northeast and the southwest even in the most areas not moving into tearful cases of rising too and it's therefore necessary to upright a 3 measures more broadly to including in liverpool and north yorkshire these changes will take a fact from woman past midnight tomorrow morning arlen specter of course want to challenge the guys hospital in london or actually i think you're at your back of the studio in london there are just disapproval it's coming at

a key times no. yeah if ever there was a moment where this kind of news was needed it really is now in the situation is getting worse and worse in the u.k. the moment we've had several days of grim records being broken there were 2 consecutive days where the number of new infections broke records and then today we have also heard the number of daily deaths is up above 990 that's a figure that we haven't seen since the darkest days of april the 1st wave when deaths briefly ran into the thousands. there are also more people in hospital with kovac now than there were in the peak of the 1st ways so you can see why good news is needed there are medics who are saying that the national health service is approaching capacity breaking points again there was all most of that stage in the

1st wave and then luckily things absolutely this time though it seems that they are getting worse and worse and so news that the astra zeneca oxford vaccine is going to be rolled out from generally the 4th is incredibly welcome as you said in your introduction there there are advantages to this one it's easier to administer it doesn't need to be chilled to quite the same levels as the pfizer biotech one you can basically get it to the people rather than asking the people to come to the vaccine the pfizer buy and take one is basically for use in hospitals or in. the facilities that are near hospitals to to make sure that it is kept that cold but it's with the astra zeneca and it's cheaper and you can give it to doctors nurses x. x. or anyone with a with a functioning fridge can take it out in the community set up vaccination centers in

town halls etc it's much more easy to access and that means you can get to more people faster yes the good news on that front rory but what about restrictions in there was the state of play on. well you know we heard from the government earlier we heard from the health secretary hank kark that more parts of the u.k. are now going into here for there is basically nowhere in the country left interior to there's only one small part of the country interior one that's the r.'s of silly which is a small island a collection of islands just off the southwest coast of the u.k. but now predominantly most of the country is in the highest level of covert history restrictions to here for so the mid learns the northeast parts of the northwest part of the southwest those have all been announced that they're going into for

there's also been an announcement about schools so what we understand is that primary schools in the main are going to be starting the norm the new term on the 4th but there will be a small number of primary schools that won't be they'll be restricted just to vulnerable children and children of critical workers but in secondary schools. secular schools won't be going back on joining the on general the 4th they'll be delayed till january the 10th which is a week after. but only for those kids who are in exam years most kids who are there for the ones who are not in exam years won't be going back till 2 weeks after they were shuttled to so yes this is a disruption further disruption to u.k. life really and it's i think perhaps going to get worse because the prime minister boris johnson has said he certainly isn't ruling out a national lockdown. already thanks to that root challenge there in london where

the head of oxford's vaccine group has welcomed the approval and highlighted the need for all that seems to get to people just as quickly as possible. one of the reasons why we are that we act as an actor is things should i know you and i'm not a prophet actually which could be just around the world and so that if by the patent it can be distributed through british temperatures which helps it being able to get someone who knows it well but also they put in place manufacturing around that well that's allowed us that supply chain you actually mean that wherever you are absent be available and i think that that's a big keep it processes and global distribution acts against the united states has reported its 1st case of a more contagious variant of corona virus which was recently discovered in the u.k. a man in colorado was confirmed to have the strain that he has no recent travel history that adds further i should see to efforts to vaccinate americans and stamp

out uncontrolled outbreaks across the country hospitals in the u.s. is struggling with the high number of infections medical centers in alabama for one say they're a crisis point and many intensive care units at or above capacity california has extended stay at home orders in parts of the state as it battles record numbers of new infections and earlier the us president elect joe biden criticized the trumpet ministration for its handling of the vaccine rollout which is operating behind schedule joe biden says of the 20000000 people meant to receive injections by the end of the only $2000000.00 that got them to jump administration's plan is to be vaccines is falling behind far behind we're grateful to the companies the doctors the scientists and researchers the clinical trial participants an operation more speed for developing the vaccines quickly. but as i long feared in war the effort

to distributed administer the vaccine is not progressing as it should be on official joins us live from washington d.c. and allan biden there is very critical of the current government's response and he says he's got a better way of tackling things but he will have his work cut out. the absolutely will donald trump has been tweeting out just in the last couple of hours about that criticism that he's received saying the federal government has sent the vaccines to the states it's up to them to get it out and about get moving is where he ended his tweet clearly not taking any responsibility for not getting to the numbers that his own administration had predicted remember alex is on his the health secretary said there would be 20000000 vaccines by the end of the year with just 2 days away from the end of 2020 and only 2100000 people have received their 1st vaccination was joe biden going to do well he says 100000000 doses will be issued in the 1st 100 days that's quite a benchmark to set and it sets him up for failure as well he doesn't know what he's

coming into on january the 20th but what he has done is out a couple more people to his coronavirus task force they're going to deal specifically with logistics he also said that he would use the defense procurement if he had to not just to get more doses of the vaccine but also he would also put in place more logistics to get that vaccine out and about to the rest of the country and to the photo of course has been very involved in the fight against coronavirus here in the u.s. he says that things that cranking up it takes a while to get up to speed and he believes that they will make up that shortfall pretty quickly even perhaps before january the 20th when of course this all becomes joe biden's headache to sort out and they did and just to demonstrate the agency this variant of the virus that we've seen in the u.k. has now shown up in colorado just as we get news of the death of a congressman elect. exactly and here in the u.s.

they're worried because the spike that we're seeing at the moment is the spite from thanksgiving remember the experts said it was going to come had to happen and no there was need there will be a further spike which will carry on from christmas and then from new year so this will stretch on to beyond january the 20th when joe biden takes office certainly the congressman who died he was elected in a runoff in in december he was due to take the oath of office in congress on sunday to become a congressman he contract it the disease earlier in december he tweeted out i was fully confident about his recovery but his condition deteriorated over the last couple of days and it was confirmed over night that he passed the way he had no underlying health conditions 41 years old so that is a concern and i had to that of course this man in colorado he had no previous travel history which means he hasn't really gone anywhere so it's not as if he'd

been to london come back and picked it up from there so it means that the diseases they had in colorado and of course the experts are saying it was in colorado then it's in other places they're worried not because it's more lethal but just that it is something extra that they have to deal with another hurdle in a year that has seen just hard dollars placed in front of health professionals all around the country and those professionals are now saying that in many places hospitals are close to capacity many i.c.u. units intensive care units simply can't take anymore people and as i say they're worried that there's another bus going to come because of christmas and new year they're up and sold pretty troubling not in fact so that's an issue there in washington d.c. . now the u.k. parliament has voted to approve a trade deal with the european union as it prepares for an orderly split from brussels british prime ministers signed it shortly afterward afterwards has the

start of a wonderful relationship with the european union british politicians have been holding an extraordinary session to ensure the deal is in place before the deadline they'll still has to be debated in the house of lords in the coming hours it comes just a day before the u.k. automatically leaves the e.u. single market all the while e.u. chiefs have signed off on the future relationship between the brussels european council and commission president shelby shell and live on the land for lies about disapproval in brussels the papers have been flown to the u.k. for signing that all 27 member states will abide by the agreement provisionally till it can be ratified by the e.u. parliaments as head back to our london studios that all but in this time poll says all going through as planned how we set for january. generally the 1st will there will be big differences the prime minister admits that but he says that it's necessary and that the the benefits outweigh the any downside that the

critics might might throw up in the benefits from sovereignty from freedom to do trade around the world the critics point out and it was pointed li question to the prime minister well the irony of a free trade agreement which essentially increases the barriers to trade based on compared to what we have at the moment but that said the battle frankly is lost that argument is done and dusted the bricks it raging has finished and we're now just into the actual bureaucratic ticking the boxes dotting the i's and crossing the ts as you say the signing ceremonies took place the smalling with 1st in brussels live on the land and michelle signing the agreements a series of agreements which were then sent by plane to london boris johnson signed them in downing street and then he went to the commons the lower house of parliament here laid out the reasons why the m.p. should vote for it and they julie did by a large majority the that there was 521 votes to 73

a thumping great majority in favor of the government currently it's in the upper house the house of lords there's about 180 lords that want to actually speak on this so it will go late into the evening here but by somewhere around midnight it will receive royal assent from the queen and become law and that will be the end of that right prove very very much to do put her in the in london at least 25 people travelling on a bus have been killed in an attack in syria it happened near the village of coverage up on the outskirts of the province they reported on their way to join new year's celebrations the group has yet claimed responsibility. there's been several aftershocks in central croatia share a day after a 6.4 magnitude quake killed at least 7 people it struck near the town of picher india 50 kilometers from the capital zagreb and the local mess has half the town has been destroyed many people spent the night in tents afraid to return to the

homes rain fell overnight any rubble into mud we were all scientists of war and they could be more aftershocks the latest tremors were felt throughout the region including in bosnia and serbia and in slovenia tanya novak is in the village of prick up or near the epicenter with more on how residents are coping in the aftermath of the quake. it can see behind me some of them have nowhere to return to there are several houses that were completely flooded with earth during the earthquake the other houses in this small village of only about 100 houses maybe look a little bit better from the outside but from the inside they are not safe to go into because their construction has been completely damaged so a lot of people from here this is a rural farming area decided to stay overnight they didn't want to go into their houses so they made the make up shift tents and spend the night outside they say that they don't want to leave their homes they have livestock here they don't want

to leave their animals and they basically are afraid of the possible looting even though we didn't get any of visual confirmation that this was happening obviously the fear is much greater than just the earthquake and the ground is still shaking and they are fearful of even checking out on how their property is at the moment. still ahead here on al-jazeera jubilation and relief in argentina or is the senate votes to legalize abortion in a decision that could record across latin america. and american who spent decades in prison not spying for israel receives a hero's welcome in tel aviv. and the former liverpool player who's helping victims or croatia's earthquake china will have a latina tells its. west

and turkey has joined most the middle east was the temperature regimes of fall spring infects the flowers are already blew me and yes i know where the end of december there is star all of the eastern side of vans and 4 degrees otherwise this general area is now far and dry but there are shelves of a few in central. dentals necker acosta was sudan maybe across wisconsin only light showers i think nothing much coming out of the sky but general cloudy regime not much strong wind anyway you'll notice but as you had sex we have tropical soccer but let's talk about the land for as happened just about of the top of bayer just the north i think the winds are seeing steady about 70 i could have gusted twice that and that is damaging when the rain is falling steadily so far correct about $25.00 min to me to the potential is over $100.00 so it's like a very bad day i don't think too destructive hopefully the rain will be welcomed that will produce flooding as it goes across through zimbabwe that's for the rest

of thursday and then it carries on going west into botswana during friday but when it does that of course it will eventually fall apart and they leave behind showers in beira but a good scattering shows 2 hours throughout southern africa. in the conclusion of a 2 part series people in paris vesta gates allegations that irish catholic nuns facilitated the traffic babies car to realize that babies in iowa could be sold to america accounting quite babies and reveals shocking new evidence of how and where when you just notice disposed of those who died thank you torn in the system like this one church and state are polluting keep the food from coming helps islands mother and baby scandal on out is the era she chips strong man is ruling within if i am faced and the silence from his allies is deafening the us was perfectly happy

to trade off the march for sea for security why our western leaders turning a blind eye when even their own citizens have fallen victim to his repression executions torture or censorship is not acceptable and you won't hear such strong words from let's say berlin or paris or london. a man in cairo on al-jazeera. and again what she had 0 mind about top stories this hour and at least $26.00 people have been killed and more than $140.00 injured in yemen after an explosion struck the airport in the city of aden it happened as members of yemen's new unity

government derives its information minister is blaming the hooty rebels who have denied the. millions more people in the u.k. will join the toughest share of covert 90 restrictionist from thursday earlier the u.k. health regulator approve the oxford astra zeneca corona virus vaccine for emergency use the government has already preordered 100000000 doses. u.k. parliament has voted to approve a trade deal with the european union has for an orderly break from brussels but it comes just a day before the u.k. automatically leaves the e.u. 6 single market. that speak to journalists about that he's a deputy director of british influence joins us live by skype from london jonathan so is this it is can the british people face forget about the endless debate of the past 4 years this is settled down the your question for britain is put away forever . i think the only thing we know about british history is the your question is

the only real constant we've been arguing about year or a 1000 years and i fully expect us to be arguing about it the next 1001 that's a lot of very cold wouldn't. going on in the conservative party today and the question in europe is settled that's what people said in 1973 when we enter the european union in 1075 when i was a referendum to stay in the european union and i have no doubt that the questions will evolve particularly but here is this negotiation. will have to continue the 2 sides will consider the arrangement in 5 years time other governments want to build it our governments may want see take things away and is also really important point about the future of northern ireland because northern ireland is now easier than it was once traded bulgaria and britain and so as things go further and there's britain my once diversion standards the kind of the question of the future of the

union will be incredibly important and it will be very much pounds to the case relationship with europe of course the prime minister disagrees with you he says it's a cake is to deal you can have in that you can have your cake and eat it he says yes there are a new system of checks rules but no tariffs or quotas and that says the government has to be a good thing for the u k. well the thing about cake is that misery doesn't actually exist it's all possible so how can anything that's why we have the expression don't burst of may say that but it doesn't make it true certainly so yes we have a deal which eliminates tariffs almost gets will there who's there are rules of origin check so it was only speech x. on. the baseline for any modern free trade agreement. and not that is very much benefits the european union it doesn't benefit so much u.k. which depends on services for 80 percent of its economy and the services provisions in the deal of very very thin and there's also

a last deal on equivalence recognition than the e.u. had with canada so really this is a very disappointing deal for people who valley the future britain's prosperity isn't it time not just to accept the coming status quo and make the best of the place that britain has voted its way and negotiated its way into absolutely we accept what's happened we there is nothing else that we can do we have to make it to work and that doesn't mean we can't hold the premises to account when the implications of this deal become increasingly apparent and when we need to be kind of told the european union about improving that you know which i think will have very very quickly and remember the brics except the withdrawal agreement as well and then you start complaining about it saying they want to transfer withdraw agreement so i fully expect the rest is to find things in this agreement they don't like in the months ahead and put pressure on boris johnson the council christine as

well joe that one day we'll be right here theses on the cake is i'm do appreciate your time in perspective on this. thank you very much thanks. historic victory for women's rights in latin america where senators in argentina have passed a bill negligee abortion after marathon sessions 38 senators voted to allow terminations up to 14 weeks 5520000 women seeking legal abortions in argentina every year traceable reports from what is or. was historic decision ending the criminalization of abortion in this mostly catholic country. after a long debate women outside congress waited anxiously for the vote to happen was and when it did there was pure joy among those campaigning for that result was that we are friends affected because there are no legal and safe abortion and

it's a dead that we have as a society the state needs to deal with this issue we couldn't just continue ignoring it i'm so happy and i want us to know what is the debate lasted for about 12 hours and the bill was turned into law with $38.00 votes for and $29.00 against . the bill legalizing abortion in argentina after 14 weeks into pregnancy it allows women to get a free abortion in a public hospital and will end the fears of women have of being reported to the police if they try to terminate a pregnancy. women in argentina have been campaigning for years to legalize abortion in this country for this women it's a matter of public health because already around half a 1000000 abortions are carried out every year many of them end up with complications thousands of women end up in hospital because of those complications so for this women legalizing abortion it's crucial to save lives. but

not everyone celebrated on wednesday and couldn't help crying when asked about the possibility of legalizing abortion i know much we're going to cry a lot there are a lot of lies that want to sell something that is not true that abortions happen everywhere we poor women do not want to have abortions we love our children. the catholic church is a powerful body here pope francis is argentinean and has been lobbying against the law. he says the church needs to lead up to current times he said let there be are . they going to try to. maybe they said the detective paid for. by because they meet on a day i told them very high let in america that will be down there and i understand they're not running around the next day i mean one of the but she doesn't tolerate

them or finding that in america so i think you need to know some reflection about. the vote in argentina sets a precedent in a region that has some of the toughest laws against abortion in the world but this movement of women's groups has spread throughout the region and has become a force for change. and to see when a site is. health workers in argentina have been among the 1st to be vaccinated against 19 years after the 1st batch of russian produced the shots arrived in the country argentina is the 1st country in the americas to use that type of actually gets a pandemic will be rolled out nationwide after frontline doctors and nurses are immunized but sun has yet to purchase a vaccine but one developed by the chinese company can see no is seen as the likely choice or the $6000.00 pakistanis are taking part in phase 3 trials there is sort of center in islamabad where trials are underway august on it in the grip of more

deadly wave of the corona why days where they didn't also at the forefront of the campaign to find a suitable rag clean right now 6. have already been tested with their vaccine and the signs of course are encouraging that of their progress than it is likely to vote for the chinese option this trial has been facilitated by the government of pakistan national institutes of health and the big 10 is government and the chinese company biologics. in china. so far this trial has been going very smoothly the most encouraging thing is this that people are not getting any side effects. the other encouraging part is that people who are affordable barked and antibody titan's tested on their own and after 4 weeks of vaccination and their antibody titers were high that means that our exene

is consigning immunity so that's an objective assessment of how as to how much affect him to vaccinate and that goes to show that we can make our nation i mean to this dynamic although the government there is a located 150000000 dollars to buy directly in the aggregate on science and technology a dollar ramón saying there's a great take at least 2 months for pakistan to get that greg clean but there are encouraging signs that people are already rolling caring they want to be in the forefront of the campaign to find a suitable solution that his saying what the i volunteered myself a trial of to call that vaccination so that i can serve humanity and after i got vaccinated i feel perfectly fine which meaningless to pakistan or florida for the country the adviser also acknowledging the fact that richard viguerie countries have already paid for this tragedy and they're smaller countries will find it

difficult if not impossible to procure it in large numbers given the fact that pakistan is a country of over 200000000 people it will be a huge undertaking but the reports coming out from these trials showed that the signs are encouraging shared by international hawks privileged amongst the leading members who is now conducting those trials. turn to hong kong actually issue trying to flee the territory by speedboats have been handed jail terms by a chinese court the part of a group of 12 trying to escape to taiwan in august after beijing imposed sweeping national security law on hong kong the 2 youngest of them have been sent back she will sororities in hong kong adrian brought us for. a day of drama both in. side and outside court the 2 youngest defendants age 16 and 17 when they absconded were driven across the border to hong kong shortly after being freed by mainland police both were hooded they've swapped one detention for another as they now face serious

charges in hong kong related to last year's protests as well as leaving hong kong illegally young why need i mean nancy and because these 2 males are also subjected to a 14 day compulsory quarantine we will file a request to the courts for a 14 day delay in handling their cases we will bring them to the courts for their hearing after they have finished according to. the 2 free teenagers leave behind 10 other activists now beginning jail terms that between 7 months to 3 years the campaign for their release continues the group fled hong kong by speedboat 4 months ago hoping to seek asylum in democratic taiwan before their vessel was intercepted by the chinese coast guard their detention drew international attention but diplomats as well as foreign journalists would deny permission to attend the trial
