the people view gunda and to you for turning. numbers and voting for the candidates and for the parties. i think this may turn out to be the most. read elections just $962.00 more earlier we spoke with bobby wines that represented benjamin caetano he said that while in the opposition leader is likely to pursue legal options to challenge the results and that his supporters might take the opposition to the streets. ugandans have a right if they feel that that is one of the with which they can express their discontent they have a right to do so provided that being here. and i think in profession for this

region you saw the massive deployment onshore force on the streets of. other districts of uganda it was driven by the guilt of the incumbent was on the mind was that institutions and in the process and i think it's one. you know but on his side so the intention has been to intimidate the people of uganda when this rigging expressed then they are not able to come out and express their dissatisfaction with the manner in which the process has been conducted. to germany now where the ruling party is elected the new leader ahmed rashid has been chosen as the next head of the christian democratic union making him the top contender for chancellor and elections later this year will step aside after 16 years in power that became reports from berlin he's led germany's most populous state north rhine-westphalia finale for years now arm in russia will soon be leaving his national party with a clear direction in mind in mid after i'm vote on divorced i'm aware of the

responsibility of the strobe and i will give my all to walk to give the through this 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 thanks although this vote needs to be confirmed by the entire party membership on friday so many i'm in lash it is a continuity candidate his slogan was that i am 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 elections so none of the other 2 candidates actually ever won an election governing in his state during the pandemic has been an ordeal for lash it the numbers of infections and deaths there have been among the highest in germany 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 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 he may have to deal with another leading conservative marcus's head of the cd used to varian sister party the christian social union many say they would rather vote for him as chancellor. congratulations to i mean lash it i'm very happy i think this was an exciting party congress it was a very fair contest it was a very good introduction to 3 excellent candidates and in the end i believe there was a result from which the c.d.u. deserves congratulations it offers an opportunity for great cooperation. but what form that cooperation will take in terms of who runs for chancellor remains unclear meaning there is much still to do with arm in law should wants to replace anglo-american in the office of the dominant king al-jazeera berlin. let's return

to our top story now and you are remiss of any officially when a 6th term as president of uganda we can join catherine soil correspondent joins us live from kampala and catherine so much of any has been elected says uganda's electoral commission and he says it was a fair election. yes he has and he has been talking about his achievements about the history of his leadership and he's got the achievement of his government on especially matters to do with health the economy agriculture as well but the crux of it all was at the beginning of his statement when he talked about the election he said that the election was largely free and fair but he did also mention. that there was attempts to rig he talked about unknown individuals who attempt to to tamper with a biometric. identification case he said that i've been audited is going to be done

about that and i you know we. tally station where the electoral commission and announce team victor and they will ask them questions like for example how can that election be free and then transparent after all the pre-election violence we've witnessed in the last few months opposition leaders and their supporters being violently targeted by police and the military we have hard from electoral commission observers from the regional board in east africa community as well talking about their concerns about the internet shut down saying that it infringes on the rights of people on the right and the people's rights to information they expressed concerns about biometric cheats that were failing and their delay in the delivery of voting materials in some polling stations that is something we also witnessed on voting day much too well late particularly in

polling stations even in opposition strongholds now the electoral commission say does that all those issues were resolved and the chairman also say does that they have run a credible election under very difficult circumstances. and what about opposition leader bobby why and what's he been saying i have spoken to him and he has great aerated that the election had been unfair to him yes they did that he rejected the result he had every day and. the regularity then rigging. president yoweri and with 70 he has also said that he's how they still being surrounded by the military his movement has been severely restricted because. we've lost our connection there with catherine so from kampala but we got the gist of what she was saying there and you were the most of any 70

winning a 6th term as president extending his 35 years in power disputed by the opposition need to bobby why. the war still ahead on news hour including what the future could hold for donald trump's so-called muslim travel. the search for survivors after a powerful earthquake in indonesia dozens are dead in the toll is expected to rise . up to the olympic sailing of course to another america's cup title challenge will be here with us for. the u.s. government has carried out its 13th and final federal execution under the trump administration just in higgs was executed by lethal injection in he was convicted of killing 3 women in 1996 president donald trump resumed federal executions in july after a 17 year poor fisher is in washington d.c.

and he says that federal executions are not likely to continue under joe biden. well the flag up there we're going to do in $21000.00 bill barr who is the attorney general at the time said that if people didn't want to the death penalty to be applied then they should remove it from the statute books published as long as it was part of the law as long as juries decided someone should be executed they would carry out their job now the last one that was carried out was as you say dustin hicks he killed 3 women in maryland in 1996 it was at a nature reserve which was owned by the government that's what made it a federal crime that is why he ended up being executed by the federal government the argument of course was that he didn't actually fire the gun and the person that actually killed the 3 women physically fired the shots that murdered them a set of being a life sentence he's not going to be executed his lawyer certainly tried to get the

execution postponed they were looking for a 90 day delay that is because that would take that end to the realms of the joe biden presidency and he of course has said very clearly that he is against the death penalty and against the federal death penalty there's every possibility that on january the 20th he will announce that he is stopping the federal death penalty across a number across all. offenses where people are waiting in prison and there are still a number of them it's unusual for a president to push ahead with executions during any transition in fact it's been more than 130 years and donald trump has used the death penalty more prolifically than any president in more than a century. let's me not to take it easy who's the founder and c.e.o. of full circle strategy is a political strategy and social impact consulting firm joins us from washington d.c. joe take it's good to see him this important story the little trouble ministration

very eager to say the least to get these executions done what do you think his motivation was. and i think i think we all know that donald trump continues to be added to live most of america when we look at this last execution we're going to say it's this execution took place on martin luther king's birthday executive a black man who is widely known and it's widely accepted it did not actually actually commit the murder of himself and yet still ahead with this execution this is a president as you've already stated that under his administration has had a record number of federal executions despite knowing that the death penalty system continues to be flawed in the united states continues to have a large number of people who have been found to be innocent and you know that the criminal justice system including the death penalty has been marked with racial

racial injustice and racism when it within its course this is the exception and particularly in this case we saw more than 2000000 people speak out across the country calling for there to be a stop and halt of this execution but this president wanted to push ahead i think quite when we ball it down it is just him really abusing his power in the ways that he has always done on the right hand putting the gas pedal on executions and on the other he's given pardons to all his friends who violated the law and committed obstruction of justice but then the president's efforts have been supported by the supreme court. i think we look at the supreme court i think we saw also that this president you know what rush can do in a lame duck session you don't push someone with his ideology on the supreme court rather than what most would have done and what quite frankly the republicans did to

president obama for saying that position to be held over for the president next president of the united states so i think the court of stacked and so i think when we look at the supreme court upstanding this execution i think we look at the deputy says the minutes now there's a lot of flaws with the death penalty system and millions of people i'm have spoken out i think look at the work that organization says definitely actions where people have gone and wrote letters congress people in congress not just congresswoman ionic pressley who spout the federal federal debt not only prohibition act of 2021 there is a grass wall of people who are saying enough is enough and i think this president illustrating with the federal executions resurging it after 17 years when the fact that there is an incumbent president very open about his kids issued an

opinion on the death little me and the racial bias in the criminal justice system in addition to the fact that this president has done more federal executions in a lame duck session more than a 131 years this is just an example again of doubt just pushing the crowd on all things that are out of touch with the rest of this country to take the good to get us back to we do appreciate that thanks very much indeed. thank you. strict security measures are in place across the united states ahead of wednesday's presidential inauguration of joe biden a road closures impalas of washington d.c. have already begun including major bridges and some metro stations. let's speak to gabriel and it's on the joins us live now from washington d.c. from the streets the. 'd president and security measures take place.

there really are everywhere you go around washington d.c. streets are closed there's a military and national guard almost everywhere as you see over my shoulder here they've got multiple streets blocked throughout this city dozens in fact even bridges leading into washington d.c. from neighboring states also are blocked oil and or have security personnel watching over them closely there's expected to be over $25000.00 national guard members alone here in washington over the coming days and this is unprecedented security like has never been seen before in this city even in the days after the september 11th 2001 terrorist attacks the security we see now on the streets even is more than it was back then now as senator chris murphy from connecticut said he got some classified security briefings about to what was going on here in washington and he said you know what on january 6th the police and security personnel could not even secure the capitol building obviously for as we all now

know let alone make any sort of arrests and he said the situation now is much different according to murphy he said the u.s. government has enough personnel here in this city not only to secure the capital but also every other important government building here as well and he said not only contain potential protesters in the hundreds but he said even arrest them if need be and there has been concerns about possible approach from armed protests here in washington and other capitals throughout the united states over the weekend but so far here in washington everything has been quiet. thanks for that gabriel is all of that in washington d.c. but washington isn't the only place on edge state capitals around the united states have been sealed off after warnings of possible by the process people have taken protection into their own hands as hoda abdel-hamid reports now from richmond in

basically if you boil it down really want control and we know historically that control cannot be achieved without disarming a population there are many examples of that world and so we're seeing the extreme left. i want to disarm the populace in the whole point behind english for control 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 in american politics i'm sure. we have. on a reasonable republicans who supported donald trump. and another con about being off oil and. i can see the point. being a lot of the people who are opposed to you know what so i'm probably unified i'm

not the father he wanted his children to witness how different this city is d's days with it's empty streets and barriers this is a scene that's repeated across the country deceit of the state government shut down to the public and sealed off and that's because the f.b.i. has warned of potentially large scale and violent demonstrations and this is something most americans have never lived through before and it's causing a lot of apprehension. one block away above scared to virginia supreme court building authorities sealed off the area but no explosives were found just an example of how the country is on it the city council has banned firearms at demonstrations many say their rights are being stripped away and vow to rally in support of the 2nd amendment in the days leading up to the no gration of

joe biden with the country deeply polarized the image of public parks and buildings closed is one of a nation in fear of itself but at that hamid al jazeera in richmond virginia. one week after taking office president told trump and that in his so-called muslim travel ban the policy barred entry of foreign nationals from was the majority countries and led to widespread protests president elect joe biden has promised to repeal the controversial move the critics say the damage may take years to repair i think i like it in miami and looks at what the future may hold for the policy. fulfilling a campaign promise to enact extreme vetting president trump signed an executive order temporarily banning travel from 7 muslim majority countries in january 2017 the president's reasoning to make america safe and this is the rejection from the nation from foreign terrorists and including.

know green court decision she finally said listen i read it out. this far. i want to go back in its roots are pretty much united and to be honestly we couldn't see anything any more. president elect joe biden has promised to repeal the travel bans and increase refugee admissions by 125000 civil rights groups say that doesn't go far enough because the same old same old isn't going to work anymore and as hard as we fought against the trumpet mensuration we're going to fight even harder against the biden administration because we expect them to resolve these issues for those still stuck in the bureaucratic limbo known as administrative processing the incoming administration is promises if filled will bring renewed hope president elect joe biden says the travel ban is morally wrong once he takes office he can rescind the order with the stroke of

population of the united states but some are questioning the use of one locally developed vaccine that hasn't yet completed trials india corresponded with iran and its report. these health care workers are registering to receive one of 2 vaccines approved for use in india 3 100000 medical professionals are being vaccinated at 3000 sites around the country on saturday including kitten driver. i'm a little bit scared but i'm also happy that we're being vaccinated 1st i've been named as one of the 1st so i'm happy about it and i want everyone to get back to nature it so we can end up it. the government is planning to vaccinate 300000000 people in the 1st half of the seer 30000000 front line workers in health care sanitation the police the army and disaster management will be inoculated in the 1st few months they'll be followed by people over the age of 50 and then those under 50 underlying

health conditions promise to that in the more you describe the scale of the program . as i said then. there are more than $100.00 countries whose population is less than $30000000.00 and injure will be vaccinating $30000000.00 people in the 1st phase of vaccination itself. the drug's regulator has approved the use of oxford astra zeneca as the shield vaccine and one that's been made india there are questions around wide the indian vaccine by a local company called bought a biotech was given approval when it hasn't finished its final phase trials the government has said that it will be administered on the clinical trial conditions but independent health experts say there's not a lot of information about what that means. india is the only country other than russia and china to be administering a vaccine that hasn't completed trials and that is funny because going into the

concern i'm unscientific. survey suggests that buyers that decision expected in such a way should be have a good a few weeks to get that data doctors at one of new delhi's biggest government hospitals have the same questions they want the oxford astra zeneca vaccine and not bought at the biotechs but india's health minister says a lot of work had gone into making the vaccines and people cannot choose which one they'll receive elizabeth al-jazeera you debbie. well a 2nd batch of the russian made sputnik vaccine has arrived in the argentinean capital. that was the 1st country in latin america to approve the vaccine and last month it began inoculate citizens after receiving $300000.00 doses and medical workers were the 1st to receive the job and officials insisted it was safe president alberto fernandez called it the largest vaccination campaign in the country's history let's cross no who's in bones or so the rollout of the

sputnik vaccine continues. but it does fly that arrived a few hours ago those 300000 doses are being loaded into refrigerated trucks and then taken to points the length and breadth of argentina will mostly be given to those 300 also 300000 or so the people who were vaccinated in december when this whole vaccination program began so it's a long process it's very complicated logistically it's a lot of planning about the vaccination program is on the way but in a country of 45000000 inhabitants there's still deals to be done they're still bringing in more sputnik vaccines from russia that's a 16 hour flight from moscow cyrus and negotiations with some of the other countries producing those that since this flight arrived the day. the 1st case was confirmed of somebody with the extra virulent strain which was 1st spotted

in the united kingdom so that's a big concern for the authorities here the numbers are rising there were 12 and a half 1000 new infections reported on friday $102.00 deaths not as high as it was in the middle of last year but still of course because the concern is that vaccination program is rolled out and is increased across the country and you know that they vary and strains a big pools for concern in brazil to. are it is because some of those especially because some of the people who contract it the virus early on during the pandemic thought they were free of it having recovered and some people have been reinfected its faults with the extra virulent strain and this case they think reports came in from south africa so that they get is a big concern we've seen what we may remember pictures photographs of some of those mass graves being built being dug in the northern amazonian city of menow so early

in the pandemic horrendous images but now says bin hits again a severe shortage of oxygen the army and the navy have flown patients including 60 premature babies out of men now it's a very isolated city a 3 hours flying time from the nearest other major city to go to but he says in brazil where there is more oxygen where they can be treated the ones who can be flown out of basically the doctors are having to choose who to give the little oxygen they have to all those are being treated with morphine just a lesson in the impact of their deaths so horrendous scenes there in my now so many people blaming the national campaign or the lack of a national campaign by the president job also now at all big splits in the various governments the regional governments criticizing him for his handling of the crisis there the governor of the biggest states. has called it genocide the way the

president also now has been handling things so and still no vaccination program there is talk of perhaps approving some of the vaccines on sunday that's still not confirmed but even when that does happen there will still be that logistical planning that needs to be done to get the vaccinations out to what is a huge country of over 200000000 inhabitants or don't you think about the news from the border. well the head of the netherlands national health counselors are urging the government to revise its vaccination program currently health care workers and care home staff are prioritised but with the already behind other european countries many elderly are worried their chance won't come any time soon steverson reports now from the hague bit of on the poll is waiting for is inoculation but the 71 year old doesn't know when that will be in other countries the elderly are 1st in line for vaccinations against govt at 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. in makes me very emotional it really hurts me not seeing my children and grandchildren i have not seen my grandson for 6 months. they have also been delays in organizing vaccines because all $120000.00 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 on a very high risk especially in such a closed living environment the nursing home has 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 and 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 organisations jumping the queue have turned this into a more personal battle household coach i know hostess was invited by her employer to be among the 1st to be vaccinated but when she realised that care workers on the frontline working directly with patients and elderly are still waiting she said no

. when i cancelled my appointment the health authority said they are not involved in gets back needed 1st that made me angry this is one of my. any examples where things have gone wrong during this crisis. because of strict privacy laws in the nablus for both employers and how the authorities it's difficult to know who is 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 concourses 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 because on the poll it's reading the reports about what's happening in the u.k. and holding his breath his nursing home is scheduled to start inoculations in 10 days time unless the government changes its plans again step fasten al-jazeera they
