job the u.k. has reported another 50000 corona virus infections in a day. so the breaking news this monday is the united states moving to designate yemen's hooty movement which controls the capital and the country's main aid port as a foreign terror group who the officials of just reacted saying the trumpet ministrations policies and behavior resembles that of a terrorist itself. pompei are released the statement saying he will notify congress of the move he says the state department will designate the group's leaders as quote terrorists the decision to blacklist the iranian backed organization is expected to undermine peace negotiation efforts as well because the u.s. backed saudi led coalition has been fighting the group in yemen since 2015 accusing the he's of launching attacks against civilians. in saudi arabia and of targeting

major oil facilities here's a look at what might pump aoe the secretary of state said these designations will provide additional tools to confront terrorist activity and terrorism by. the official name a deadly iran backed militia group in the region the designations are intended to hold and countable for terrorist acts including cross border attacks threatening civilian populations infrastructure and commercial shipping let's start in. there for us anything more of the reaction from the herman. yes so far we haven't received any awful reactions by the whole of these. and previous occasions. as the washington department of state department has been. trying to ignite the how these as a terrorist group so far during the previous remarks the describe such as

the generalization of terrorism. has been also it has been a washington's clash according to their description to describe describe anyone who's against them as a. terrorist group these in the during the previous remarks have also said that the. ongoing war has led to the to a great impact on these yemenis civilians especially that the the death toll from the war has reached 700000 people and with this many observateur believe that this would for the worse in the humanitarian situation in the war torn country especially as according to the united nations over 1880 percent of the country's population now. are under the poverty line or have been.

imposed to the brink of farmer so the many hope that the upcoming administration world with bringing 'd warring sides to back to the negotiating table to resolve their differences peacefully as any step by the world washington to describe such a group as a terrorist group would father impact the many civilians who have been living for nearly 6 years and this war. is in sanaa with that update thank you we had to test run out also jabari i mentioned that these are backed by iran so you would suspect with the u.s. involved it's as much a move against iran as it is hurting themselves. certainly and of course this is not the 1st time we've seen this kind of move by the trumpet ministration you have to remember that the iranian revolutionary guard was designated a terrorist group back in april of 2019 and since then this maximum pressure

campaign that this administration has forged ahead with has really seen many entities within iran being sanctioned but also their allies in the region from syria to iraq and now yemen being the latest one in the last few days of the trumpet ministration in office moments ago we heard from the foreign ministry spokesperson cited hardships out there who said that this is in line with this lame duck administration's policy to tarnish their reputation in the region and that these are desperate acts in the last few days that they have remaining in office the view here is seen that this is really not something that will affect the who thiis or iran in the long term the way an ambassador to yemen has also been sanctioned back in december for his alleged role in sponsoring or helping the revolutionary guard in yemen these are accusations the u.s. is made against iran in that country but for the iranian government the position is that they are trying to see whether or not this peace plan that they put forth into

2015. have any impact on the situation because they say these kinds of designations and sanctions will only hurt the yemeni people and really will have no tangible effects on the whose these or the rain thank you dosage of terror we bring it all together now with my own bashar our senior political analyst here in doha so marwan what's the point of it all given that these arguably don't pose a direct threat to the united states what is the point of this. look one point is legacy and i think. trying to score a point for that from administrations legacy in foreign affairs and in that sense since the implications are so complicate things on the ground one would say that this is an irresponsible statement and expedient statement especially that this

administration is going to have not time to follow up on some of the commitments it made such as helping with the humanitarian situation that could be caused by such a visit nation we all know that the whole thing is controlled and the more important port in yemen across the capital in yemen and is responsible for the welfare. for the feeding of countless yemenis and to designate them as there is causation would simply mean that no one will be able to deal with them and that's certainly not helpful now look. clearly the war has been going on for 6 years and there's been countless water crimes in that country not just by the home office but also by others within that country and outside the country but to date to designate the whole tease in particular there are some of those ation could only hamper the ongoing diplomatic process and that's where there's a bit of a contradiction not get a lot of contradiction when mike brown paper statements on the one hand he says we

want it but at the going through decision on the peaceful solution to the war newman and on the other he doesn't unite the whole thing is a terrorist organizations which is definitely meant to complicate the efforts in yemen and meant to complicate the future of foreign policy by the bible and mr ition right to end the war now and this is what i wanted to ask you about because we have to view everything these days through the prism of january 20th when joe biden does become president is this the kind of the type of thing that he could if you wanted to just reverse do you think you will want to reverse a move like this. look i mean looking at joe biden's record it's not like he is you know has a radical thinking about terrorism and that this ignition of terrorism 'd as something of a lazy sloppy way of dealing with issues i mean he did embrace a number of times positions that are conducive to the idea of designit think this

and terrorists even looking at certain designated domestically in the united states in from the prism of terrorism which again i find not helpful to resolve issues but that's it means that this and that group and this and that organization does not carry terrorist attacks it means that this takes the end issue from its geo political from its grassroots understanding to some expertise interest ology and security that does not at the end help resolve an issue biden does have an overall approach to the middle east that is to be contrasted with that from trump on the one hand he wants to reach a go back to the nuclear deal with iran he wants to engage iran to be more responsible actor in the middle east and that includes its support for various groups in the region and that engagement does not entail today the designation of

someone something like who he used to be a terrorist so this in my view. in this visit nation today was only meant to complicate biden's policy in the middle east towards iran and towards ending the war in yemen if anything 2nd there pompei or should have just left it for the by then missing to decide its own policy instead of just scoring points in the most expedient of ways that would simply lead to the more complications and more escalations of the war in yemen and bashar with his take on the situation in yemen . thank you for that no one. the world food program's executive director is among those who've been warning against this terrorist designation david beasley spoke to al jazeera in december when the w.s.p. was awarded the nobel peace prize that was in washington d.c. just last week speaking with the leadership explaining the consequences of the

designation and the hurdles in the problems that we will face we'll do whatever we need to do we always have whether the sages are designations or not we'll do what we can to reach the people our job is to let the leaders understand clearly what will be the ramifications and what the difficulties that will be for us to reach people yemen is oriented in sri millie volatile fragile state with i can't begin to tell you we are on the brink of famine right now in yemen people are not getting enough food we don't have the access we need and we're going to i don't know how we don't face famine in a major way in the next $45.00 much onto other news and in the coming hours moves to take action against us president don't trump over the siege on capitol hill will be kicked up a notch the u.s. house speaker nancy pelosi says 2 motions will be presented from monday one calls on vice president mike pence to invoke the 25th amendment it would declare trump

unfit to carry out his duties and force him from office. well i like the fight for the man because it gets rid of him he's out of office but there is strong support in the congress for impeaching the president a 2nd time this president is guilty of inciting insurrection insurrection and he has to pay a price for that and so pence doesn't agree pelosi says the democrat house or democrat led house would move forward with impeaching the president remember 5 people died in the violence on capitol hill the pentagon confirming 25 cases of domestic terrorism are being investigated and the hunt continues for others who were involved in this attack as for donald trump still staying pretty quiet and his party called him reports from washington d.c. new video coming out of wednesday's attack makes calls for accountability even more it. this video obtained by the washington post shows just how few police officers

there were to keep rioters some armed with restraints and weapons from getting to members of congress or the. members say when they were trying to get out the last available exit there were only 3 officers holding the line trying to give them enough time to escape when they stepped aside as a window was broken a writer was shot by the representatives and their staff escaped this video was captured by a reporter for the huffington post rioters looking for the senate he says if they had turned right they would have entered the chambers with senators inside this lone capitol police officer directed them away from it and up the stairs instead but not everyone was this confused one congressman says there is evidence some had planned their attack there is a ma. this is a cause gotten them to do all of this by the office. to the office. everywhere and where i usually i must say. it is in my office.

had all the furniture and stuff at the door and there are people trying to get here we're going to the capitol and the president directed these followers to march on the capitol he told them the election was stolen and now democrats say he should pay for inciting insurrection they're moving to impeach him within days our main priority is to ensure the removal of dollar trump of president of the united. our the office represents clear and present danger not just to the united states congress but frankly to country but not all republicans are onboard some using the same reason in that they did after the president was impeached the 1st time i my personal view is that the president touched the hot stove on wednesday and as unlikely to touch it again many saying impeachment will only divide the. further but some argue it's necessary for the long term health of the country until the

united states starts taking steps to hold those who both participated physically in the actions but also incited the actions and. until we see accountability for all of that and a renewed commitment among republicans and. i'm afraid we should expect that this is only the beginning of the rise of some prism and perhaps even. it's unclear if legally the senate can hold an impeachment trial for a president who has already left office the courts will likely have to decide that but it does seem likely that in the coming days the house of representatives will make sure that donald trump is the only u.s. president to have been impeached twice pedicle him el jazeera at the capitol and in another blow to the u.s. president the golf club he owens has been stripped of the 2022 p.g.a. championship p.j. american president jim richardson says hosting the event at the trump national golf

well it certainly seems to be more of a formal relationship and beijing is very angry about this china's foreign ministry spokesperson. gave a briefing to the press today on monday condemning like pompei was remarks saying that the one china principle was the foundation of the u.s. china relationship and that this move by lates 3 joint communique signed between the u.s. and china namely one that was signed at the end of 1978 the beginning of 1979 in which the u.s. promised to end all formal relations with taiwan now of course beijing considers taiwan a rogue state and says reunification of the main one is inevitable but at the same time apart from using very strong language making some threats more full stop short of making any concrete statements as to what they will do it does seem like beijing is taking a wait and see approach knowing very well that trump the trump administration only

has a few more days left in office they're hoping that the biden administration the incoming biden administration will take a different tact and somehow reset relations with beijing but this all comes at a very messy time because just last week the trump administration announced that they would be sending the u.s. ambassador to the un kelly craft to taiwan this week starting on wednesday for a visit that also angered beijing and beijing at the time said that this move was what they called. china. the trumpet mr ation peddling anti china sentiment and kwacha in the spokesperson on friday said that the trump administration was engaging in what she called a final madness during its last days in office to sabotage the relationship between beijing and washington another example isn't it of how important this new administration will be thank you katrina. spain has deployed helicopters

uncertainty some even now anxious about what lies ahead. and seeing in the morning but no i think i'm ok. when i'm doing the right thing or the wrong thing i don't know but i just want to have myself protected from this deadly virus so i really take a deep breath in now. that he was going to get a. very well down. thank you. amazing. thank you. for me. these are the beginnings targeted vaccine rollout at a local level 1st with plans this week to scale up to mass public venues but vaccinating those high risk groups as quickly as possible but basically giving a vaccine about one every minute if not more so we're getting through about 600 up

to 600 patients a day with the vaccine supply that we've got n.h.s. england has been very reassuring that we're going to continue to get supply and that supply level ramp up we've had you know challenges early on with the confidence that it will come that's now there so if in the supply is ramping up and i've got a good level of confidence it's going to continue to do that sorry have astra zeneca we have pfizer. so these are frozen and we were seasoned thought here and we have to ensure that there is then a few days pharmacist steve givens is volunteering his time to help out taking immense keer to reconstitute the vaccine concentrate into doses ready for use so i've just written expire labor which is 6 hours from when i did the time limits and that was our secrets course we had to make sure that we administer the vaccine within that time if we just want to talk about it's quick it's painless and at this

local g.p. surgery it's flawlessly efficient and the result well people seem to leave a lot less anxious than when they arrived god bless them all and we spent christmas alone. you know just super careful you see. and i want to keep them alive for a long long time. i'm sorry i'm an emotional person. they've lived in a fog of anxious uncertainty for many months now slowly it's lifting jona whole al-jazeera harringay north london and so shelters also begun vaccinating its people against coronavirus and the 1st african countries to do so president while full color one has been the 1st to receive china's sign off on japanese. it is a year now since the 1st case of corona virus was reported back in china and many of those who have recovered from covered 19 there are still struggling with long

term effects of the virus and says a study published in the lancet medical journal it found 6 months after an acute infection they were still coping with things like the taig or muscle weakness sleep difficulties xyzzy depression some patients who were severely ill during their hospital stay had severe ongoing problems that affected their lungs and chests and a 3rd of the patients showed signs of kidney malfunction some thoughts now from sun giant sun and i care an associate professor of infectious diseases at the australian national university he says even patients with less severe cases of covert 1000 can suffer the long term effects. i still think that there is a conception out there around the world that cove it is a very mild illness and to be fair at the start we were saying 80 percent of people will have a mild illness and they'll get over the acute illness in 2 weeks but the reality is the proportion of people now this this study from who had was in hospitalized

patients but a proportion of people who get curve it they don't even get hospitalized will go on to get these chronic symptoms which are quite debilitating now if you look at this wound study they talked about 2 thirds of patients having t. muscle weakness about a quarter had root disorders anxiety depression another quarter couldn't sleep well another quarter couldn't walk the normal distance that you'd expect from what we understand it seems that people who are sick or with code it more likely to have cystic symptoms but it is not exclusively the case so even people with mild symptoms there are many reports of healthy young people who've had an acute covert illness but have managed to stay at her who will have ongoing stepped so chest pains shortness of breath brain. except truck and nasty thing about it is it could fluctuate from day to day to the point where it just the symptoms

disappear and some people think i've beaten it but they have a day or 2 later it comes back which of course is very disheartening. just coming up half past the hour here on al-jazeera and these are the headlines the united states is moving to designate yemen's pretty movement as a foreign terror group the decision to blacklist the iranian backed group is expected to undermine peace negotiation efforts u.s. backed saudi led coalition has been fighting the group in yemen since 2015 accusing the rebels of launching attacks against civilian targets in saudi arabia and of targeting major oil facilities it's more from. the many observers believe that this would fall the worse in the humanitarian situation in the were torn country especially as according to the united nations over 1880 percent of the cars.
