the hearing in seoul has more on the ruling. the lawyer representing these plaintiffs says that it's the 1st time that any court has ruled in favor of these so-called comfort women so what some 75 years after the end of the 2nd world war finally some of its victims are finally it seems having their day in court now these are 12 plaintive these are the so-called comfort women some of the survivors of the war or their relatives and these are young women or girls who were forced into sexual slavery join the 2nd world war forced to work in a war time brothels for the japanese imperial army now the court has ruled in their favor saying that each of these victims suffered unimaginable mental and physical pain and awarding each more than $90000.00 u.s. dollars in compensation now this case has been going on for 8 years but for all of

those 8 years it is not being recognized by japan itself japan has maintained this view of sovereign immunity that basically it is this international norm that no one nation should be allowed to sue another nation in its courts and that japan says in any case this these cases of abuse from the 2nd world war have long been settled in a court agreement in 965 when japan and south korea normalize their relations and then yet again in 2015 an agreement specifically for the comfort women which gave them compensation that was meant to of irreversibly settle this case once and for all so they have not recognized this case but it is an ongoing cause of contention between south korea and japan. stephen 19 is a senior associate professor at the international christian university in turkey he says both countries of politicized the issue which is a disservice to the women seeking justice. but this comes at

could comfort women and their families so it's a complicated issue it's an emotional issue and quite frankly from a 3rd country what if you think these women are being. victimized all over by a by the japanese government as well as the south korean government by continually sleep bringing this up and not solving the issue. well still ahead here on al-jazeera why south africa is struggling to come up with an effective vaccine rollout strategy. and hong kong's residents are left wondering if the opposition can survive amid questions of what is what isn't legal. it's time for the perfect gentleman the weather sponsored point qatar airways allow the word cold to be a good description the european weather for the most part just doesn't know what

a daily death toll was 4000 critics say people aren't being vaccinated fast enough because of a lack of direction from the government california remains the epicenter officials there say that on average someone dies every 15 minutes and the gallagher is in miami florida he says the situation there is also dire. if we look back to july when we previously had biggest single day of new cases that was around 15000 that was in the summer here where people tend to be indoors you can understand that but on wednesday that number increased to almost 800000 so the situation here in the state of florida is is dire at the moment more than 20000 people in this state have died all of course being compounded by that overly slow rollout of the vaccines even discussion now about whether they can reduce that 1st dose whether they should lengthen the time between doses because of course it's about $21.00 days for at least one of those vaccines meanwhile experts here are saying things will get worse

before they get better because what i've seen here over the past few days is frankly quite disturbing a lot of americans traveling to the state of florida presumably from some winter going around on boats eating in restaurants when those kinds of things happen health experts say a few weeks later you will see yet another rise in cases and of course fake television here in miami dade county this is the single biggest state for deaths and for new cases so it is a dire situation in this state one that may only get worse as things go by and these vaccines tend to be rolling out very very slowly of course this state has a large population of people aged over 65 they make about around 20 percent of the entire state's population and they really can't get this vaccine into their arms soon enough. countries in latin america ha struggling to cope with surging coronavirus cases and health systems near the brink of collapse but they're finding it difficult to get hold of vaccines as they face another spike in infections after

the holiday season john holmes has more from mexico city. this wednesday night mexico announced its 2nd worst daily death in case toll since the pandemic began i many of the hospitals in the capital and surrounding area full but the president's not just worried about those here he said he was ready to provide vaccines for mexicans in the u.s. after the governor of the state of nebraska said the undocumented workers in its meat packing sector would be the last in line to get the job. we are in time for everyone to be vaccinated for our fellow country men and we will do everything possible so that migrants are not denied this possibility for him to get vaccines to nebraska might be a logistical hurdle too far but back home the program is rolling out only not fast enough to stop the worst strain of medical services since this began. in mexico

city the government's handing out free oxygen refills to the many trying to take care of themselves relatives at home. them in case it's a form of support that people need without the support it would be very very difficult this is better than going to the hospital because i believe that we also avoid crowd in the hospital of the way we're doing now but the captains are not down to try and prevent the health system collapse. further down the continent. brazil's past 200000 coby there. in bolivia there's been an increase in serious cases after the holiday season. and amazons with every day we receive requests for intensive care the difference of the start of the pandemic was that we had requests only for hospitalizations. we sent them to covenanting isolation centers here there is no a solution center and evan is asking for intensive care that is why the 2nd wave is much more serious in parts of peru including the cup 2 lima and already battered

health system is also in danger of being overwhelmed once again become a huge number of women i.c.u. beds are a problem there's always going to be a problem and it's not just coated there are other diseases. the vaccines are coming and this january the governments of brazil colombia and peru have promised that they can get here soon enough john home and how does it or mexico city while trying to is hoping to reach herd immunity against current virus by the end of the year with the country one week into a mass vaccination campaign now the country is planning to vaccinate 50000000 high priority people before the start of the lunar new year travel period in mid february 1 1000000000 people are expected to be vaccinated and 2021 now it comes as mainland china reports dozens of new cases the most in more than 5 months and mostly in the province of who bay while in south africa there are concerns the

government won't meet its target to vaccinate 2 thirds of the population against the virus by the end of the year on wednesday it reported a record daily high of more than 21000 new infections and 844 deaths although the government has secured some vaccines are still well short of the doses needed for me to miller has more johannesburg in this mobile footage hospital workers in the president's whole province mourn the death of another colleague to cover $1000.00 south africa's battling a 2nd wave of the disease so far tens of thousands of healthcare workers have contracted the virus and more than 430 have died. the need for a vaccine is now more urgent than ever so far the government says it will get $1500000.00 doses of the astra zeneca vaccine by february this fall and we're doing that meaning. that procreation to achieve it in unity and approach seems drawn out of the box in the beginning we think was for. communities and therefore

we sort of broad. sense through this is to do with the issues we're going to south africa expects to get millions more doses of a vaccine by the 2nd quarter of the year to immunize 10 percent of the population but that still tens of 1000000 short of what's needed to immunize the majority of all 59000000 south africans this is despite running trials for 4 vaccines 4 months and planning to manufacture millions of doses for pharmaceutical companies professorship there marty has been leading one of the trials at the barack one of the hospital in some way to the notion of talk if you could get that's made 67 percent of its population better and of continuing to run unfortunately tests with all due respect very naive for the 1st month we would need to fix an $850000.00 people but day 7 days a week from a 2nd one to $1.00 with 4 it seems that required 2 doses of vaccine we would need

to vaccinate $300000.00 people per day every day of the week and political year for us to get to 67 percent of the population the health care system is already overwhelmed and simply doesn't have the resources to cope with an extensive immunization program. coming up with an effective vaccine rollout strategy is not the only challenge for the government according to a survey for the world economic forum conducted in december almost half of all south africans say they won't take over 1000 vaccine. a new more infectious variant of the virus in south africa has raised questions about how effective existing vaccines may be as south africa faces a resurgence of covert 19 that is already exceeding the 1st wave experts a while read about a 3rd and 4th wave especially as vaccines for most of the country appear to be a long way off from al-jazeera johannesburg south africa now the rest of $53.00
