4:04 pm
reserve ations do you have about office especially this time the entire process must be. inducted in the very. and. transpired innocent we from the beginning were assured by the electoral commission that each candidate or their agents would receive corby's results from the district before they are transmitted to the national codis into able to verify when they are reading here that was not done because 1st of all internet has been switched off but we're not even given it had the corpse so the entire process has been reduced to a richer where we sit and. read this public it did because we've indicating that from which polling station from which district by the.
4:05 pm
read that this one has this bus in the devon have that percentage but they do not show us where that percentage has come from which we can test but the wind has rejected 'd the result he says and that he has evidence of widespread wreaking havoc dental in with that it is what evidence does he have he has and that evidence we. have. had agents across the country many of them where i rested on the polling that did. just that were from the polling station however they're all sound the agents will state that their polling stations and the vigilantes and we have been able to predict the results from across the country and at the appropriate time we'll be announcing to the people of uganda what is being announced. and to undermine that we are of the people
4:06 pm
uganda the consent to government must through a free and fair election and what are you going to do next are you going to go to the constitutional court to challenge that the legal framework in uganda gives us a number of opportunities and options. and fair process and we're going to the supreme court is one of the options but the lake has mentioned through the campaign we look at this election as part of that evolution going about it that people that you know 'd from the york of dictatorship that they are going to have for the last about 5 yes there are several options and we and i think to provide leadership to that because uganda bus you anybody should ask them standard and work with us to explore all the options and that they go from uganda to make sure that we stop this. option that you're talking about and that include people to come
4:07 pm
out to the streets to demonstrate and we don't have a court of them it is their will that is doing so much so ugandans have a right to the feel that that is one of the with to which they can express their discontent they have it right to do so provided they're doing it in accordance with the law and i think in pre-production for this reading you so that might. force on the streets of. other districts of uganda it was a. even. the incumbent was on the mind or state institutions and in the process of making this one order working. on his intention has been to intimidate that because uganda when this rigging express then they're not able to come out and express their dissatisfaction with their manner in which the process has been conducted while the wind says that he's house has been surrounded by the military we've seen that as well and he also says that he's not been allowed to leave and you know it
4:08 pm
has been generally in the knowledge i've been blocked from the left leaning his compound was one that he talked and he. spoke to go in. and i can confirm that she's movement restricted is not i don't believe his home and lives that are not out which in effect indicates that she and that tension house at risk and his home is not that is not that does that less of the detention which is the degree and also shows that this scheme to read and undermine the democratic process is that i would then he does get my way in the middle this is in the interim that i would say they are done effectively that's why you know look course there's a knock on one of your book un security officials that i've spoken to here are saying that the reason they've done that. blocking access to his home is because he wants to announce i'm tyrrel results once when i met he has won the election
4:09 pm
security agencies in uganda need to understand haven't been undermined they are buddies and gone try to the constitutional there is probably more than that but they have been doing point explain how forms numbers have been thought through this process therefore there is did the means have the context and the context is that they want need to. call against the constitutional process all right thank you very much that was bobby wines our representatives here as it's highly center who will say that now that you. and you know. the president he thought he where you must of any who is going to be addressing the nation ok catherine i will speak to you as and when that happens thank you very much for the time being catherine updating us from kampala uganda let's bring in ag miskito who is the managing partner of africa advisory firm g.b.'s africa she is joining us from london thanks very much for your time so the representative of bobby wine was just telling our correspondent catherine soy the. 70 is trying to basically
4:10 pm
undermine the will of the people in uganda and with the opposition and bobby winds party claiming fraud in rejecting these elections what happens next are you concerned about the potential risk for a post-election violence. thank you that must carry him for having the look no surprise is there another comfortable 70 he joins the wrong so again a leader who's been in power or whether he had potential if the political weight ability and process will be would depend on what we should actually does not because already tested the election saying it was moderately weighted throw it and and it became obvious so it's what bob in what another partition leaders do this that's basically believe the legal process that we go for and what that means in uganda big likely now there's
4:11 pm
a likelihood that there will be violence and we saw yesterday ugandans went to the polls she reported on was showing that he's some sort of believe in the democratic process but chairman in every african affection it is what happens once people have to know how the election commission. carries itself in determining that we know but they're not a crisis there as a country saying another term for president you're wearing 74 uganda so what well what will the opposition to next from your or air experience when you're monitoring the situation what other options. so that option would be just using the legal framework that is available to all me a peaceful solution they have however at geron in saying that they have not that presidential ticket but that constituency in parliament the a new faces. incumbent like the vice president of uganda always their longtime
4:12 pm
ally of president and with 70 has been in power a problem it seems 1904 of the most used elementary seat in his constituency and other key cabinet minutes of the killing me he says for trade. minister for agriculture they all lost their only a mentor city 2 young inclusionary leaders to meet that is the we in uganda people awfully they bring the voice and leadership into uganda's into going to the parliament i think president sure can have been lost but i think we should look beyond how can they expect to strong parliament and if there is any sort of instability in the country how will that affect the region and the countries surrounding your gondola. you can do is an important country for the region it is connected with the d.r.s. . prison was 70 is the garonne to peace for south sudan for example the northern
4:13 pm
part of uganda the northern corridor is a key chance to talk trades and goods that the region east africa's will bear east ability to go into if they're likely to in the region and again uganda is a key ally or kenya so yes the region. peaceful and stable uganda and is the ability in uganda obviously courses have all across the region a writer agnes gitau we thank you so much for us taking to us from london thank you . germany's ruling party has elected a new leader army has been chosen as the new head of the christian democratic union that makes him the top contender for a chancellor in elections later this year as engler merkel steps aside after 16 years in power for me therefore i'm vote on divorced i'm aware of the responsibility of the strobe and i will give my all to walk together through this
4:14 pm
year to win the regional election in only a few short weeks and make sure that we will win the next general elections and provide the chancellor of germany let's go live to dominic enjoining us from berlin so what more can you tell us about our men laughter. mr russian's pitch to his party was pretty clear that in voting for him they'd be voting for somebody who'd been tested in government an important quality he believes tested in government he's the prime minister of germany's most populous state more than 20000000 voters live in his state and so he's saying to he's said to the delegates of this virtual conference if you vote for me continuity continuity is key that he as it were would if he was given the chance would be somebody who would run for chancellor and then govern the country in the way that angle americal does govern the country for the best part of the last 16 years or so and it seems that his party believes him certainly that's what the delegates
4:15 pm
decided upon earlier today. he's led germany's most populous state for nearly 4 years soon i am in law should be leading his national party with a clear direction in mind city all need to see you in the c.s. you are the last remaining parties which can guarantee social cohesion which is under threat right now we see it out on the streets with the coronavirus lots of aggression people who deny the virus exists and others who are lying in the charity hospital 500 meters away who are fighting for their lives and we feel this polarization of society in many other areas too and the c.d.u. as always been about bringing different positions together. although saturday's vote needs to be confirmed by the entire party membership for many armyn lash it is a continuity candidate his slogan was there are the representative of the executive branch so if you vote for me you can be sure you get a leader you get someone actually who had won election so none of the other 2
4:16 pm
candidates actually ever won an election governing in his state during the pandemic has been an ordeal for lashing out the numbers of infections and deaths have been among the highest in germany and back when the incidence of covert was much lower he argued for less stringent lockdowns hoping to protect the economy as much as the people now his message is changed as he is' the general election. it's important to point out that winning the party leadership on its own does not bring with it the right to work here the german chancellor angela merkel has already said she intends to serve out her term here so in order to replace the new party leader must win september's general election but before he can do that may have to deal with another leading conservative marcus head of the c.d.u. sister party in bavaria the christie and social union he could be the center right candidate in the autumn and many conservatives say they would rather vote for him
4:17 pm
as chancellor than any other candidate so far has played down the suggestion but not ruled it out completely meaning arm in lash it has much to do if he wants to replace angle america in the autumn. and the interesting thing is that mr lasher it immediately after excuse me mr immediately after mr lasher it's apparent victory was announced his victory at least in this digital conference congratulated him and looked forward to working together with mr lasher to improve the situation in germany but still we don't know in what guise that working together might be let's be clear mr lasher is now going to be the leader of the largest party in the country the largest party in parliament it would be logical to suspect and to expect that he would want to run as chancellor for the entire center right movement politically in this country and yet the opinion polls suggest that many people would prefer mr desert or the prime minister of area to run instead and so the
4:18 pm
direct remains who will take germany's center right conservative force forward to september's general election we may not know for some considerable time all right dominic came reporting from berlin dominic thank you. plenty more ahead on the al-jazeera news hour including this gasping for air brazil's military brings in a vital commodity that's in a very short supply amazonas state. a search for survivors after a powerful earthquake in indonesia dozens are dead and the toll is expected to rise and in sports the clippers blow away the kings in an n.b.a. game that did go ahead carl be here with that story in the later. but 1st india has begun its vaccination campaign one of the biggest and most challenging in the world on saturday 300000 people are set to receive jobs
4:19 pm
nationwide with health care workers given priority is using to vaccines the oxford astra zeneca vaccine and a locally developed one called kovacs and india has the 2nd highest coronavirus case counts in the world after the us oche. jani those who need the vaccine the most will get it 1st those who face the greatest risk of infection they will be vaccinated 1st are doctors nurses hospital sanitation staff medical and paramedical workers have the 1st right on the vaccine whether they are in government hospitals or a private one they will be given priority. after that those who have the responsibility to manage essential services defense and law and order will be vaccinated these include our defense forces police firefighters and sanitation workers elizabeth purana has more from outside a vaccination center in new delhi. we are at one of 81 vaccination sites in
4:20 pm
delhi where health care workers at the 1st group of people to be receiving one of the 2 vaccines which was approved for use and 300000 health care workers are being vaccinated around the country today in just over $3000.00 vaccination centers promised in the launch the vaccination drive saying that this is the biggest vaccination exercise to be carried out anywhere in the world 30000000 front line workers will receive the vaccine in the next few months it will be 300000000 people in the 1st 6 months of the front line workers it's people over the age of 50 followed by those under 50 with us and while the beginning of the vaccination drive is being welcomed in india there are questions being asked about one of the vaccines one of the 2 vaccines which has been given approval that is a local vaccine called kovacs and made by a company called bought of biotech and that's because it hasn't completed face 3
4:21 pm
trials now the drugs regulatory bodies said its use was approved for emergency conditions and the health minister said that it will be administered under clinical trial conditions but independent health experts are saying that there's not a lot of clarity about what that means involve the government says that they have good safety and efficacy data that this is an emergency situation that the new mutant strain of the virus from the u.k. is here again and dependant health experts say that the doctor that mashes from face 3 trials has not been made available get the us government has carried out its 13th and final federal execution under the trumpet ministration. was executed by lethal injection in indiana he was convicted of killing 3 women in 1960 percent of donald trump resumed federal executions in july after a 17 year pause in fresh air his joining us from the white house so what's been the reaction. well it went all the way to the supreme court
4:22 pm
the supreme court ruled 6 to 3 that it should go ahead and it did late on friday night in indiana higgs as you say had been convicted of the murder of 3 women that actually took place on federal land a nature reserve in maryland which made a federal crime know what was interesting is that he didn't actually pull the trigger the man who did that is serving life in prison but the jury convicted hague's of making the order to kill the women and therefore he should face the death penalty no back in 2019 when william barr who was then the attorney that attorney general has suggested that they would bring back federal executions he said if there was no statute for it if you want to stop federal executions then take it out of the law but as long as it's part of the law he will follow that and if juries vote for the executions then they will go ahead now there's been 130 year tradition of not carrying out executions june transitions but clearly donald trump
4:23 pm
has the cited that he is simply going to ignore that he wants to be seen as tough on crime particularly those who are convicted of serious offenses like this but many opponents suggest that there is an imbalance in the way that the death penalty is employed applied particularly against people of color and they say that there was really no need for this execution to go ahead no what is interesting is that his attorneys higgs is attorneys applied for a 90 day extension there who was obviously that they would be able to carry it through till after january 20th that's because joe biden has not only expressed his opposition to the death penalty he says he's likely to stop all federal executions the still a number of people on death row across the united states who are facing the federal death penalty but while joe biden is in office it's unlikely that will be carried out all right alan fischer reporting from the white house thank you. strict

continued to rise during the black lives matter protests over racial injustice the november election has further divided the country with both republicans and democrats suspicious of each other more than ever there are those politicians who. basically if you boil it down to really want control and so we know historically that control cannot be achieved without disarming a population there are many examples of that war a while and so we're seeing the extreme left. want to disarm the populace and the whole point behind it is for control and that's the truth of it nobody wants to admit that robert louis thinks this is a defining moment in the history of the united states you can see already i'm an american paul person. we have. on

bobby wine won nearly 35 percent germany's ruling party the c.d.u. has elected army as its new leader chancellor angela merkel prepares to step aside after 16 years at the helm germany will hold a general election in 8 months india has begun its coronavirus vaccination campaign one of the largest and most challenging in the world it aims to vaccinate 300000000 people by august that's nearly the size of the entire u.s. population. the head of the netherlands national health council is urging the government to revise its vaccination program currently health care workers and care home staff are prioritized but with adults roll out already behind other european countries many elderly are worried their chance won't come any time soon stuff awesome reports from the hague. bit of on the pole is waiting for is inoculation but the 71 year old doesn't know when that will be in other countries the elderly
4:32 pm
are 1st in line for vaccinations against go with 19 but not in the netherlands many of peter's fellow residents have died in the past year and month of quarantine and restrictions are taking their toll. and makes me very emotional it really hurts me not seeing my children and grandchildren i've not seen my grandson for 6 months they have also been delays in organizing vaccines because all 120000 residents in dutch nursing homes have to give special consent for their covert $1000.00 japs a time consuming procedure especially because 75 percent of them are suffering from dementia peter has no doubt he has survived one covert infection and is worried he won't be so lucky next time. i really don't understand that in neighboring countries people have been vaccinated for weeks and we're only just starting we are much too late especially for as vulnerable people are in a very high risk especially in such a closed living environment the nursing home has
4:33 pm
a special covert section where residents who are tested positive are kept in strict isolation many of them die behind these doors because of their age and vulnerability doctors have advised against taking them to intensive care units in hospitals hundreds of residents in that care homes are dying of covert every week but not a single one has been inoculated yet the so-called flexible dutch vaccination strategy has led to great confusion about who will be vaccinated 1st and what vaccine will be used this has not only created frustration anger but also fear now the british variant as the country bar ologist say it's a race against time before the nat'l and will face a serious outbreak of the new strain and they're urging the government to get a proper vaccination strategy in order but accusations of managers and office workers in. care organizations jumping the queue have turned this into a more personal battle household coach i know hostess was invited by her employer
4:34 pm
to be among the 1st to be vaccinated but when she realized that care workers on the frontline working directly with patients and allie are still waiting she said no get back i looked this up when i canceled my appointment the health authority said they are not involved in it gets back needed 1st that made me angry this is one of many examples where things have gone wrong during this crisis. because of strict privacy laws in the netherlands for both employers and how the authorities it's difficult to know who was vaccinated and who it's not how worried are you about a delay of a couple of weeks how serious is that for the people on course it's very serious because if you see how many people in this category of age. have big problems with the disease and overall also or can die about. this is really important that we go on very. quickly bit of on the pole is reading
4:35 pm

4:37 pm
but we've done our part by providing resources and means today the armed forces have launched a field hospital that the health minister was that on monday and provided oxygen with. these health to a close all celebrating because some of the patients are being transferred to hospitals in other states that are better equipped but not everyone is being lifted to safer environments and the world health organization is warning brazil. health system is beginning to employ victoria gates and be al jazeera. the un refugee agency is calling for a fighting in the central african republic to stop they say the number of people fleeing to neighboring countries has doubled to 60000 in just a week on wednesday rebels try to attack the capital bungay but were pushed back by security forces a coalition of armed groups wants to overthrow president 4 star shines to water all
4:38 pm
who won a 2nd term in december. the capital of the central african republic. fighters from the coalition of rebel groups just down the road a few kilometers away on the outskirts of the city and another significant group of them about 12 kilometers in that direction also on the edge of the city and in both areas there was heavy fighting 3 days ago now security sources say they also now have several cells here within the city in preparation for an attack the coalition of armed groups has given an ultimatum to the government to give them 48 hours to get out that ultimatum expires on sunday evening now this comes ahead of a constitution ruling that due on tuesday which will potentially reaffirm the office of president there bring him in for a 2nd following the announcement of his victory in elections last month but that victory is disputed the civilian opposition say that election was rigged and the
4:39 pm
armed opposition it was just down the road refuted the legitimacy of the whole election in the 1st place and the situation is tense the u.n. of reported widespread rights abuses kidnapping torture has killings of civilians because many people to flee their homes now more than $60000.00 is the un refugee agency said and people are still on the move right now people are waiting to find out what's going to happen here in the next couple of days but many of them aren't risking it on sticking around to see what will actually go down let's bring in michael amoa who's a visiting fellow at the london school of economics and political science is joining us from london thanks for your time so what do you think will happen over the next couple of days and what will be the impact of these increased attacks on the government in the central african republic. well as the decision is crowd tense as has been reported i mean realistically you know with. the troops russian rwanda groom dan. patrick and french troops are all going
4:40 pm
to p.t. to protect the city to make sure the government is not about thrown in to make sure that. you don't teams that have to be done are done properly and back because you know court confirms the presidency. and the election result of the hungary taking place. and so the situation room maintains obviously the reposts appoints to want to do what they plan to do but the mood up here about the minister forces out to try and fight back so you have to watch and see what happens next we understand over the past week or so one peacekeeper has also been killed in an attack in the country do you think that's going to impact the missions goals and presence not at all i mean the mission is quite it is talking
4:41 pm
our way of you know. the activists the activists the activities of the rebel movements and say this is not going to be tantamount told if anything this is a rather going to encourage them to actually step up their efforts in coordination with any of the support that would be occupied believed to be that's going to come from the russian a random forces tetra how much territory do the rebel groups actually control in the country and the fact that they're so close to the capital that real that doesn't bode well for the government does it. yes that's very interesting i mean he did control at least 50 percent of the territory and what's more she was actually stacks these rebel militias have a lot of money gained from design i'll go down that one mining's have a lot of money to traffic gold and diamonds and as well as amps and not some of the
4:42 pm
