10:08 am
yet they weren't ready and so the question is you know can we take questions now to make sure it doesn't happen again knowing that there were going to be people assembly is very hard to say we're going to have to get to the bottom of it was it that the police were told the capitol police were told do whatever you can not to confront them so that it will reduce violence what were they told were they part of something broader in terms of breaching the perimeter of the capitol and so we don't know and we don't want to make any you know conclusions but there are a lot of questions out i think that the law enforcement intelligence and military has been ramped up in terms of being aware and vigilant and i think everybody may pay attention you know where they should be paying attention on wednesday. north korean leader kim jong un says the united states is his country's biggest enemy and is threatening to expand his nuclear arsenal and that the comments of the ruling party congress can set the u.s.

10:10 am
in what might come from a new bided ministration we have seen a suspension of the past couple of years of these large as far as north korea is concerned provocative military exercises between u.s. and south korean forces well may well be the case and you bite the ministration will reintroduce the spring exercise between u.s. and south korean forces which always causes a hostile reaction from north korea so we wait and see north korea waits and sees just what the policy will be from the ministration when it comes in at the end of january. united states had a new record for corona virus infections on friday with nearly 290000 new cases its top infectious disease expert is warning the number of deaths and new cases is not going to keep rising incoming president joe biden says he plans to speed up facts and actions brandel reports. seeking to speed up the lagging nationwide vaccination effort president elect joe biden plans to release nearly all of

10:18 am
surprising because france has one of the world's highest rates of vaccine skepticism immunization was invented by french scientists louis passed her in the 1900 century his legacy is a source of national pride that has not prevented the growth of anti vaccine sentiment in the country that's been fueled in recent times by social media and the pandemic when i hear who's over to get elected again this sociologist says the french suspicion of vaccines is linked to past health scandals and a lack of trust in government. there are 2 incidents that really marked the french in the 1990 s. people suspected the link between the hepatitis b. vaccine and multiple sclerosis it wasn't true but it created mistrust there was a similar case with h one n one in 2009 in both cases people believe the government was colluding with pharmaceutical companies for financial reasons to find truth about vaccine and
10:19 am
that's had a lasting impact the government's image hasn't been helped by the exceptionally slow start to the covert vaccine campaign in the country partly due to ministers reluctance to be seen pushing facts. many don't wear out some experts say better informing people about how vaccines work and the possible side effects would help change minds rising infections of clearly created a sense of urgency the governments of which doctors and social media influences to help spread their message but it's clear that unraveling decades of mistrust won't be easy but i should butler al jazeera must say china says it's now ready for a visit by world health organization scientists that send best to getting the origins of covered 19 earlier this week members of the team were denied entry into the country at the very last minute they included the professor mary in court once she spoke to a step fast and asked about the delay and what comes next we got

10:21 am
agreed to that 1st of reference of course there is. nervousness which is you know the. the discussion about the origin of the pandemic has become a little bit politicized it's a blame game it's a blame game and i think that that's wrong frankly. so as it is i hope that we will be able to get into the position to stay away from the blame game and just do the evidence professor cope months as the assumption that covert 19 originated from an animal market in who is now in doubt after china published findings about earlier infections the team will also look into possibilities that the pandemic started elsewhere as chinese authorities have suggested but go up on sas china is the right starting point for their investigation from the similarities between the virus found in people and viruses
10:22 am
that were already circulating and bats in the region. and the most likely is that that's the rare rare the virus originally came from from bats from bats but are i think it's well possible that there's an intermediate step i used to will looking into the possibility that it might have been i'm human mistake there were of course these these theories that maybe by accident has leaked from a laboratory is that something that you're looking into as well if that leads us to the possibility of a bird free situation then yes we have discussed and we also want to have a look at that and are the chinese authorities willing to let you go into the laboratories so it's been discussed so i'm assuming yes yeah what you want to do is to prevent another pandemic like we are facing today so how crucial is it that the
