this failure will be paid with lives and livelihoods in the world's poorest countries brazil has begun rolling out the chinese made son of ak corona virus vaccine to try to bring the world's 2nd deadliest outbreak under control 6000000 doses are being distributed to states with health workers 1st in line to receive the jabs brazil's immunization program has been held up by shipment delays and political disputes both son of ak and the oxford astra zeneca vaccines were approved by the country's health regulator on sunday. the start of the rollout has brought some hope to brazil but there's currently not enough vaccine doses for anyone or for everyone who needs them local sign of act manufacturers say they need more active ingredients from china to hit production targets while the oxford astra zeneca jobs have yet to arrive in the country there are some in the most remote parts of brazil fearing they won't survive the wait i want to get

a care for ports for menow us a gateway to the amazon forest. after months of political infighting the 1st brazilian was vaccinated today some fall. but the round of applause in brazil's richest city was a far cry from the reality of my mouse more than 3000 kilometers in the capital of the amazon a state a new strain of the corona virus is still spreading infections like wildfire. many here barely make it to a hospital and those who do have few guarantees they'll get out alive nearly 38 has just lost the 3rd person in her family only then will i cannot understand how the government let me now switch the spline they're killing us the strong our family my brother in law died because there was a shortage of oxygen we bought

a cylinder but it was too late. not far from the hospital others are racing against time. these men have spent the morning brushing from one oxygen supply or 20 other to fill up their metal cylinders the federal government brazilian states and even neighboring venezuela have sent supplies to my mouse but it hasn't been enough. has been standing in line for his uncle who suffocating in the hospital in one week he had to cardiac arrests. it's ironic everybody says the amazon rain forest as the world's green lungs and yet people here are dying from lack of oxygen which is like a war zone and the port of my mouse time seems to have stopped instead of oxygen cylinders bananas are unloaded from the boat to be sold on the market. but the

river which could be a lifeline is also an obstacle to fighting the pandemic when the us is the gateway to the amazon forest it's surrounded by water which makes the logistics of bringing anything here like upsurge in seoul in dirs or vaccines very difficult you can reach the capital of the amazon a state by plane or by boat but there's some of the edges here behind me which are hours and hours away by boat and that's the only means that you can reach them and not every boat like this one is strong enough to carry supplies. here the vaccines which will be distributed throughout brazil are still a promise for the future in the meantime people are just trying to survive monica and not give. my mouse.

was just 2 days before joe biden's inauguration as u.s. president has been a security scare in washington d.c. stauffer moved out of the capitol building off to smoke was seen close by is temporarily shut down with inauguration rehearsal suspended a stop advised to shelter qualify was investigated washington fire department with incident at a nearby account for the homeless there was no indication of anything suspicious. but security in the capitol is incredibly tight and seems never before seen in washington d.c. the national mall usually packed with tourists and resembles a heavily militarized zone just 2 weeks ago the steps of the capitol were overrun by right now it's completely closed to the public. biden's immigration will be held on wednesday right outside the capitol building already officials are asking the public not to go on to the jewel threat of further on rest and coated 19 the capitol building a nearby area is a part of a red zone that will be completely shot to almost all vehicles most of this area

the last 24 hours and then you've got national guardsmen and capitol hill police officers here heavily armed protecting the capitol. there was that scare a little earlier turned out to be unrelated but that actually evacuated the personal of the inauguration on the mall side of the capitol and there's also been some intelligence that has been disturbing to officials and that is that there was a report that there were some possibility that someone inside of the security arrangement would be possibly helping someone outside and for that reason all of those $25000.00 national guard officials are being vetted and you can imagine this is apparently been going on for days but you can imagine that that's almost impossible to do 25000 people in the time that they have very thoroughly so security is tight it is only likely to get tighter and there is a high alert here right now john hendren thank you very much indeed. still to come

law and the protection of civic rights which obviously also goes for mr valma these principles must be applied which means nothing else but to immediately release mr not only. but russia's foreign minister has scoffed at the reaction from the west and says the valleys the tension is legal solutions the more you know the case an avanti has gained foreign political resonance artificially and baselessly everything is happening to nirvana in connection with his returning the tension falls within the competence of the law enforcement forces the novelli will now be heard for 30 days he says he's not afraid because the truth is on his side in this important election year for putin truth might not be enough to set him free charlie al-jazeera. got him on and security forces are starting dispersing hundreds of migrants who are trying to cross through the country towards the u.s. about 2000 people mostly from honduras have can't overnight on

a highway in eastern about a honda after clashing with police on sunday as many as 8000 migrants and refugees invented since friday let's go live now to john homeowners in mexico city it tells the latest on the situation in guatemala. well the latest is as you were saying she learned their rule camped out on the motorway and the police basically just a short while ago gave them 10 minutes to disperse and then they started of dancing on them banging their shields then they did manage to disperse those people those sort of conflicting accounts the hondurans in that caravan said that tear gas was used against them guatemala's migration institute is saying that tear gas wasn't used against them but they did manage to clear them off of that central highway there was a big backup of traffic obviously that was just waiting for that to happen and that's then been allowed to come through and now the hondurans are in different

parts of that village and the police seem to be moving to seal off any axe it exits to allow them to get further into guatemala so it seems that people or a lot of people are still there but that main body of people has been broken up for now and why don't you part of the caravan you've been talking about their reasons for leaving what they've been saying. yeah exactly that i mean obviously we're not there but we've been listening in especially to a local radio station called drive the old progresso from honduras and they were talking to people live just some of the things that people were saying one lady was saying we can't go back there's nothing there we live in misery we're trying to follow our dream the dream for our children another person saying drugs go through this route but they won't let people go through what's going on here a lot of people talking about wanting to get to america the fact that the usa the fact that they don't want to stay in guatemala that this is

a brotherly central american country but of course that hasn't been the case for some time in terms of migration both mexico and guatemala been getting increasingly strict a lot of people think that the pressure from the united states to try and stop people from being able to get up to that border between mexico and the u.s. a lot of people talking about president trump and the fact that although he has been able to complete his border will his moneys to perhaps externalize it to these countries further south i think what less people are talking about is actually the honduran president juan orlando and then there's and he's presided over a time in which many people have been critical about the rule of law about human rights about democracy in that country and about the economy as well so there is another president there in honduras that people have repeatedly from his country tried to flee because they say basically davis suffering from an demick crime or they just haven't got enough to eat their poverty has got so bad sir complex

scotland version to stay as part of the united kingdom in a $24000.00 referendum but the realities of leaving the european union are leading to new calls for independence a large majority of scots were against brics it and many feel distanced from the boris johnson government in london to how reports from the scottish capital at a breath. edinburgh's royal mile deserted under lockdown but with just a faint deco of events that have taken place here over the past decade marching for scottish independence before a referendum in which scots voted to remain part of the united kingdom and later voting for continued membership of the european union but breaks it has changed everything and independence is once more in the air what we were told at that was that if we stayed in the united kingdom it would be staying in the you know you know rights as e.u.

citizens would be respected and that's been completely ignore the opportunity now is. the referendum on independence and i can see you know to realize that that is our destiny and ask the people. on the scottish parliament in order to achieve that prime minister boris johnson treats calls for another referendum on independence with this day we had a referendum on the issue in 2014 which senior members of your party perhaps what you said was a once in a generation event it was on that basis that people voted in the way that they did very substantially to keep our wonderful union together boris johnson is loathed by scottish nationalists who see him as the embodiment of for exit and intitled englishman who pays only lip service to the importance of the union so his pitch to build back better together after the pandemic rings hollow here among those who voted heavily to remain in the european union and who now would vote to leave the

united kingdom but there's a catch the very thing breaks it that has taken support for independents to new heights is also the thing that makes independents see economically viable so one on one hand brags that acts as and is as an accelerator on independence preferences big. as people are not happy not being in the european union but at the same time an independent scotland outside of the e.u. but also finding that has difficulty trading with with its former trade partners in the terms and in the form of the rest of the u.k. well that also is it is a problem so it makes people want independence more but it makes in some ways the economic consequences of independence far more severe than they were in 24 team but those arguments haven't dented voting intentions yet 18 opinion polls in a row show a firm lead for independence and an expected learned slide win for the scottish

nationalists in may's parliamentary election could yet create an unstoppable democratic force so to hold al-jazeera. and or money can always catch up with other stories we're covering by checking out our website address that is our 0 dot com and you can also watch us live by clicking on the orange live icon al-jazeera dot com. top stories around the world health organization has been criticized for not declaring a global pandemic until march 2020 an interim report by an independent panel looking into the u.n. agencies response described the global alert system as not fit for purpose cases of what became known as covert 19 were 1st.
