1:00 pm
by the government and then if all the farmers leave too but if other farmers state other states al-jazeera has teams on the ground this is the insurrection that president trump is accused of fueling to bring movie documentaries and light news. this is al jazeera. hello and welcome i'm peter w. watching the news live from our headquarters here and coming up in the next 60 minutes. india's farmers occupy new delhi's most prominent landmark on republic day and a show of anger and defiance against the government.
1:01 pm
police in the capital used batons and tear gas to stop the farmers but the numbers and the anger proved too much. 1000000 coronavirus cases are registered in indonesia where we'll be live with our correspondent in jakarta. and business is booming in iraq's anbar province but government regulations may scare some investors away. and in sport basketball is remembering one of its all time great players tributes for and for kobe bryant a year after he died in a helicopter crash along with his daughter and 7 others. first here on the news for you indonesia has now surpassed 1000000 cases of corona virus the rate of infection has been steadily climbing in the country for months now well
1:02 pm
than 10000 have been reported every day across a period covering recent weeks jessica washington joins us live from jakarta jessica why can't they get this under control there. now suppose 1000000 here in indonesia it is the 1st country in southeast asia to pause that milestone but really that doesn't give an indication of just how bad things are need to know when all the countries we hear talk of the 1st wave of the 2nd wave in indonesia that's not the case it's just been a relentless steady increase of cases now this is a false archipelago population of more than 270000000 spread across thousands of islands no one expected that the fight against 19 here in indonesia would be easy but the government has been incredibly reluctant to introduce any kind of strict lockdowns all restrictions to help stem the spread of this virus health care
1:03 pm
workers who we've been speaking to say for the 1st time they've been forced to reject critically ill patients we know that some hospitals in the now and 92 even 100 percent capacity and have no more capacity to take on ill patients doctors a calling for further restrictions but the government is torn between a tricky balancing act of putting interest of the money to hold one whole focus thing on health needs the president. has been successful in battling these 2 crises of a health crisis and an economic one but i think it would be difficult to find a health care worker in this country who could agree with that sentiment we've heard stories of some patients one patient in particular his family went to spend most of it was trying to get treatment for him in the end he ultimately died on his . 11th hospital we spoke to one woman ologist in tunisia an incredibly respected doctor with a career spanning 3 decades and she says for the 1st time in her career she's had
1:04 pm
to turn away sick patients there's no indication here that the situation is improving and it's probably much worse than the numbers make the situation seen still not only 10. 1000 people each day and in a population of around 270000000 people health care workers say that is still not good enough ok when it comes to what we think the numbers might actually be jessica is anyone there getting a sense of what the direction of travel is i mean try can trace there has been criticized as not being effective or in the areas that it is affective it's not being utilized properly. well that's right there are there are concerns about the data and that's why there's really no indication of exactly how about the process is in terms of a numerical sense the health minister himself my son from the problems with testing there are also problems with slow data collection coming in particularly from
1:05 pm
remote problems says we know one province in particular the problems of what data was basically stored there for more than a month before it was passant to the central government and that led to a huge uptick in cases so it's not just a problem with the health care system under strain but data collection as well but basically the the best way to get a sense of this process is by talking to the health care workers but also with the grave diggers in the capital city in particular the confirmed death toll is at least $28000.00 a grave diggers in the capital say they believe it's much more just simply based on the workload that they've been experiencing over these past few months jessica thank you very much jessica washington there reporting live for the news out of. the doctors in israel say the vaccination program is working with almost every recipient preview of covert 19 2nd tests of people have taken the fine as a biotech vaccine have also shown it to be effective against the u.k.
1:06 pm
strain israel's travel ban kicks in overnight stopping all foreign passengers from entering the country for a period of 2 weeks live now to west jerusalem and our correspondent there harry forsett so harry on the face of it for israel and israelis this seems like good news. indeed these. initial findings so far almost say 100 percent encouraging what we've had is this plan by israel to knox native population as quickly as possible in return for giving pfizer the manufacturer of the action that it is by far the majority being used here the very comprehensive data that israel through its 4 main health providers to get it digitized on its population and so pfizer will be able to use israel as something of a massive test bed of its vaccine and so shocked as i said those figures look very encouraging a week after the 2nd dose of the pfizer vaccine in one study by one of those how to
1:07 pm
provide as they found that of nearly 135000 who'd gone through that. only about 20 who'd had any infection and even then nice. that's a percentage of about point 015 percent and the health ministry put out similar figures for a wider cohort of the population as well this does have implications far beyond israel it's these results are maintained obviously this is a scientific study there isn't a control group there's no direct causation that we can establish but this is very encouraging a senior advisor on the coded front to president joe biden said this is huge tweeting in response to the news last night other any tensions however worries surrounding in effect i guess sealing the country off for 2 weeks. well yes i mean that is the other side of the situation here. it also demonstrates to the rest of
1:08 pm
the world that if you allow too many strains to come in if you don't maintain the very strict procedures to try to stem down on the virus it still remains a problem and in israel we've seen another round of more than a 1000 injections in a day on monday with positivity rate of some 10 percent there is real concern about the fact that the u.k. strain is now making up 40 to 50 percent of those new cases still a very high number of serious hospitalizations and compared to previous lockdowns the number of the caseload among children is much higher and so that is why they have. started this procedure of not allowing international flights in only allowing people out if they have specific reasons in terms of how to. or very submergence seize to leave the country there is
1:09 pm
a will to try to give the vaccine the maximum chance that they can by sealing off the country benjamin a you know it's sort of boasting about their saying we have trust in the world's do this kind of a magic sealing off there are others who are critical saying that it's because of me lakshman flows from because of the going of people to travel back in court particularly to places like new e.u. and turkey in recent months that there is such a high caseload start and as well as that there is a knock down which is due to expire on sunday the restrictions. on sunday with the caseload as high as it is many are predicting that those will both be extended perry thanks very much are a force of their reporting live from west jerusalem ok that's the picture in israel the picture in jakarta as well let's take you to the e.u. because the e.u. reacting angrily after the drugmaker astra zeneca said it would not be able to meet the vaccine supply targets let's get more now from our correspondent dominic cane
1:10 pm
who's in berlin so it looks like the manufacturers of the vaccine were over promising at the end of last year. certainly that is the perspective of the e.u. and of many of the different member states and what they're saying is that that being the case than they believe they have to protect the stocks of e.u. manufactured vaccines bickley that means pfizer the biotech pfizer vaccines but what's interesting here is that the suggestion is that astra zeneca. told the e.u. the eventually that it would not be able to provide even half of what it had promised to the e.u. now the reason that matters is because very many of the member states the $27.00 member states of the you had based their vaccination strategies on using many stocks of the astrovan zeneca vaccine will obviously if astra zeneca is unable to
1:11 pm
supply even half of what it was planning to do well that then leaves those e.u. countries in with a shortfall at considerable shortfall that explains why they are reacting angrily and suddenly the german health ministry enshrine has been saying well in that case then the e.u. has to protect as i say the stocks of vaccine that are actually produced here course the violent tech side of the vantec pfizer vaccine will buy antec based in germany and other aspects of this story to the there are reports unconfirmed reports which have raised questions about the effectiveness of the astra zeneca vaccine in certain age groups over 65 now it's worth making the point that astra zeneca has flatly denied those suggestions and indeed here the federal health ministry in the course of the last hour or 2 hours or so has said that it believes that the people who are making these assertions about the lack of effectiveness
1:12 pm
have confused different aspects of research relevant and relative to astra zeneca so the position is that astra zeneca denies the claims but has. said separately that it can't supply all the doses or indeed even harf of the doses that it promised that it would supply to the e.u. that's why we're hearing e.u. member states and the institutions writ large complaining about what's what's happened and indeed why the ministries here in berlin are saying we've got to protect the stocks that we have done thanks very much donna came reporting live from berlin to the u.k. where there's talk of imposing a mandatory hotel quarantine system for all people arriving in the country charlie angela joins us live now from london's heathrow airport so charlie is the sense there is not a question of if but when the government brings this in. yes the aviation industry is absolutely on tenterhooks we understand that boris johnson
1:13 pm
is just thrashing out the details now with his ministers debating how widespread these huge matches will be whether they will resemble the australian quarantine measures well all arrivals have to quarantine in hotels for 10 days at their own expense or whether it will just apply to you k. residents returning from countries with a more contagious variance brazil south africa and some or some other south american countries and also portugal but the industry here says that it will effectively close the u.k. borders and argues that the u.k. already has some very strict policies in place all arrivals in the u.k. have to provide a negative test before departure on a rival they have to isolate for 10 days and many flights from south africa and brazil are already burned but the government says that they must protect the country against the possibility of any unknown povich berenson entering the country
1:14 pm
the aviation industry says well this is just a theoretical threat and there is no timeline for when it could end so we're expecting boris johnson to make an announcement either later today or. tomorrow but it won't come into play for a couple of weeks because most of these hotels have been either operating at reduced capacity or it's been closed during the pandemic it's going to take in a few weeks to start up again to employ extra cleaning staff putting covert secure measures extra security to make sure that those people arriving in the hotels don't leave before their 10 days are so understood they'll have to be staying in their rooms for 10 days with meals delivered and probably not being allowed out that exercise and the cost could be over a $1000.00 per traveler so that really puts a you know the idea of a holiday booking holiday out of most people's minds is a good until at least these we know when these measures would end but that threat of a new covariant entering the country that could be resistant to the vaccines rolling
1:15 pm
out is really driving this policy and charlie thank you very much charlie angela there at london's heathrow airport ok let's turn our attention to another huge story today here on the news india there tens of thousands of farmers have traveled to the nation's capital new delhi it is their biggest show of strength yet against the government they've breached the nation's most prominent landmark the red fort where the indian flag is hosted by the prime minister every year to celebrate independence from britain's colonial rule but now it's a site of unprecedented scenes of anger and defiance against not render a modis government protesters broke through police barricades meant to stop them from reaching the city center all this at a time when a large military and cultural parade was underway to mark india's republic day. our aim is that this money government should take these 3 laws back so that the farmers get their rights back the government has posed these laws without any discussions without any thought it is as if they've imposed the government should
1:16 pm
revert all the laws. except where they knew. the entire country watches daily on republic day so when the tractors roll into the city on this day then the message goes out that the farmer's fight is not yet over and he has just started fighting for our rights by entering the. well farmers have been demonstrating for months now against the pricing rules they say will destroy their livelihoods and favor large businesses are seeing bell is the political editor of the news magazine the care of and he says farmers acknowledge that reforms are required but they say the government is going about it the wrong way. what the article was in is the kind of changes the government has proposed and passed without much discussion certainly not with the farmers through the heart of the bend to make these laws were brought in through the backdoor pass to find them again without much uncertain and the farmers feel they've been shortchanged in the process even support him and farmers
1:17 pm
have gone into daily are not productive wunderkind is this protest has been building up for the past 3 months to protest it for a month and a half in punjab month and a half on the outskirts of delhi and probably they've entered and the government has negotiated it has been slow in making offers and concessions and at each point of dying concessions which may have worked months back in terms of the protests being made fighting really it the farmer suspect the government's intentions it was clear yesterday that there was going to be a pattern and more been lazy asian mad at india's official republic baby celebrating the constitution and it was clear that the farmers would be entering delhi after announcement some of the farm leaders but it seems neither the government nor the police force in delhi was prepared for this the it seems to some extent that even the farm leaders themselves are no longer in complete control of the protests the next step in the purpose of the protest more place where it stops
1:18 pm
would be deal only after is even settled down by miss evening nobody to date rape knowledge short they had this one and. lots more ground still to cover for you here on the news hour including a silent crisis how climate change in the southeast of bangladesh is pushing thousands of indigenous people to leave their villages. and a 2nd impeachment trial for donald trump the u.s. senate formally begins the process that could bar him from ever holding political office again. and in sport gareth bale helps keep talking them on track in english f.a. cup cars here that story in about 30 minutes. ok the other big story in europe this hour the italian prime minister just epic kaante is to resign in a bid to form a new government in effect lost his majority when a vital junior partner in his coalition quit over his handling of the coronavirus
1:19 pm
pandemic now his resignation as expected on tuesday is seen as a gamble as the county reportedly hopes the president's surge will give him a mandate to form a government of national safety live now to rome and our correspondent following the ins and outs of italian politics over the past couple weeks stephanie decker so steph this is not just procedural it's much more risky than that. yes we remember peter you know we're talking about 2 weeks ago when he won those 2 confidence measures in both houses of parliament but he came out of that with what's called a simple majority so it's almost impossible for him to govern to pull push any legislative through the parliament and this is coming had to more we're expecting a vote on some legal matters which he's expected to lose so this is really a preemptive move to that and yes he's just finished addressing his cabinet where he thanked them and he said he was going to resign so within the hour we expect him to go over to the kitty nala this is over to the president's office to submit his
1:20 pm
resignation and everything is now in the hands of the president said about that as you said as to whether he's not going to accept his resignation in the sense that he's going to get him to try to reform a new government that might be more acceptable to all the parties that are just playing here for some 'd sort of part of the political party and then move forward or appoint a whole new new name entirely is interesting peter you know this country's had over 60 governments in 75 years and that's because of the way the politics here the constitution is formed one person analysts today saying quite interesting i thought that you know the success of it is seen as someone not being able to hold on to power so this is almost seems a success of the system but of course it's hugely challenging when it comes to governing a country particularly at a time of a pandemic and at a time when this country has over 200000000000 euro as 1000000 euros in terms of our company plans to deal with so again everything up in the air still we're going to have to wait and see how the day unfolds and what the president comes up with
1:21 pm
very briefly if he doesn't pull it off today does that mean back into the territory of a snap election. there is a very bare is a possibility of that one saying that is the most unlikely scenario snap election would mean 2 election 2 years earlier this year at a time of a pandemic nothing really is resolved here please we still have a country that's partially in lockdown rome for example you know allowed to leave the province of restaurants bars are closed museums are closed to reserve or tourists businesses hugely and it is a major crisis so i think certainly a lot of people saying this point in time because of course everything force on the shoulders of might there would end see who is the man who initiated this crisis saying this wasn't the right time but yes there is a possibility of that there is also possibility of the formation of a technical a technocrat government that will run this country until the elections are scheduled in 2023 but again we're going to have to wait and see the unpredictability of a tie in politics italian politics you got to love it ok step back i thank you so
1:22 pm
much stephanie there in the room. the stage is set for donald trump's 2nd impeachment trial the 1st ever for an american president members of the u.s. house of representatives present their case for impeachment to the senate mr trump has been charged with inciting the violent mob attack on congress on january the 6th castro from capitol hill. it was just 2 and a half weeks ago that the statues of great americans passed looked on as a pro trump mob desecrated the u.s. capitol now they watch as house impeachment managers marched past to the senate bearing papers that charge former president trump with inciting an insurrection. donald john trump engaged in high crimes and misdemeanors by inciting violence against the government of the united states. the accusation relates to the events of january 6th when trump gave
1:23 pm
a speech to supporters telling them to march to the capitol and fight like hell because you'll never take back our country with weakness you have to show strength . the riders broke into the legislative chambers in a failed effort to stop congress from certifying joe biden's election when 5 people died as a result president trump gravely endangered the security of the united states and its institutions of government he threatened the integrity of the democratic system interfered with the peaceful transition of power and imperiled a co-equal branch of government if these proceedings look familiar it's because there are repeat of events from a year ago when trump was impeached the 1st time he's now the only u.s. president who's been impeached twice and the only one to be tried after leaving office some republicans have argued that should make this impeachment illegal the
1:24 pm
constitutional experts say otherwise from constitutional structure and from our history there is no reason to suppose that he cannot now be tried and convicted on the article of impeachment that was voted while he was still president trump was acquitted in his 1st impeachment when only one senate republican voted against him conviction this time around would require the votes of 17 republican senators then and only then could a simple majority in the senate vote to bar trump from holding future public office polls show a slim majority of americans do want trump to suffer that consequence. the but as the january 6th row. ah it fades further into memory more republicans appear to be leaning away from conviction the legal teams now have 2 weeks to prepare before the trial begins in mid february heidi joe castro al-jazeera washington
1:25 pm
told belts is a professor at george washington university he says a lot depends on how the senate handles trump's trial and balances the priorities of the new incoming ministration. a lot of the the appointments that president trump is made are vacant and they need to be replaced especially with with biden's own people so he can get the government working so he can get the economy up and going and so he can do the the work on the vaccines that he's promised as well so there's a lot that needs to be done that the senate needs to do which is one of the reasons why the democrats were ok with giving this 2 week delay before they start it up so they can get some of that work done and it looks like they'll probably go for a split session when they get this under underway but of course it's going to take a lot of the oxygen i mean because it is you know it's very controversial well if he is going to get acquitted then you know ultimately they're there are no prices
1:26 pm
to be paid at least for now but the message is there for any future presidents who would try to wreak havoc with our electoral institutions of democracy in the future there won't always be a $5050.00 split in the senate and there won't always be the type of polarization that we have now at least i don't think there will be we do have swings that go back and forth in our country so it does send a message in the long run that this this cannot go on if he is not convicted then he couldn't be removed he couldn't be disqualified and i think also let's not forget 2022 in 2 years we have some big senate elections including marco rubio seat and there's some speculation evocate trump might run for it there might be some other trumps running for senate so i don't think we've seen the last of the trump machine as it's about to be rebuilt here i think the u.s. senate has confirmed janet yellen as the new treasury secretary the 1st woman to hold that position the vote was 84 to 15 confirming yellen she's also the 1st
1:27 pm
person to hold the top 3 economy jobs in the u.s. government she was chair of the federal reserve in the obama administration and the white house council of economic advisors on the bill clinton. the senate foreign relations committee has confirmed anthony blinken a secretary of state paving the way for a full senate votes during his confirmation hearing mr blinken said he'll order a review of the decision to designate yemen's hoofy rebels as a terror group he said he'll also build on u.s. brokered deals between israel and some arab countries to normalize ties. still to come here on the news for you will look at the accusations of rights abuses in egypt since president abdel fattah el-sisi came to power. australia day or invasion day thousands called for a reckoning of the country's colonial past. those stories when we come back.

1:32 pm
in the nuclear deal which the former u.s. president mr drum pulled out of in 2018 tehran says washington's chance to return to the negotiating table will be limited in my opinion on only on no plan for talks of contacts with the us and who are still waiting for the offer of the us government about their return to their commitments in removing sanctions which is part and parcel of the commitments any progress in this regard is totally dependent on the practical steps of the us will take to meet its obligations under the reason lucian 2231 actually america. time is limited and the window of opportunity for the u. s. and the european embers of the g.c. remains open for a limited period. al-jazeera baris in the iranian capital tehran what's the timeframe we're looking at here what do you think iran's next move might be. well according to officials we've heard over the past few weeks there is
1:33 pm
a sense that the deadline is anywhere between the 30. 3 with 3rd week of february between february 19th and the 26th we heard from members of parliament who said that the deadline is every 21st so anywhere during that time we expect iran to make an official announcement now what this means is that iran has said according to a law that was passed in parliament in december the government has to proceed with carrying out these measures and the next step that they will take about is they will reduce their protocol additional protocols under the nonproliferation treaty meaning there will no longer be allowed surprise visits by specters into nuclear facilities in the country when iran signed the nuclear agreement in 2015 they also signed up to these additional protocols under the nonproliferation treaty as a goodwill gesture they now say results of the sanctions being imposed on them by the united states they are reducing their commitments to these additional protocols
1:34 pm
they've already taken the step of increasing enrichment to 20 percent in early january this is now a 2nd phase of what's coming as a result of the united states withdrawing from the nuclear deal the iranian government is now saying it is up to the new u.s. administration to lift some of those sanctions and return to the nuclear deal there is no further negotiation iran is not interested in rediscuss ing the way because it stands as is and the united states knows now what they need to do to reach. and to it so the position here is very clear and there is now a very set timeline for what they expect the biden administration to do door sir thank you very much for such a body there in tehran. ok let's go back to the developing story out of india where farmers have descended on the nation's capital new delhi seeing is the deputy editor of india today she joins us on the phone line from those protests seeing
1:35 pm
what is mr moody's next move. so clearly we have learned that the delhi police have clamped down on the internet as part of the natural kept concern and right now it is a very very testing situation for the morsi government because right now after all for aids relief the thought another party has taken off and it's only gotten to the red ford and that is the symbolic symbolic gesture that the farmers are doing everything all from the root that one designated by the delhi police so in the national capital as we speak multiple curries and the government has the you know the varied now let's recap on this one because the farmers issue has always been a very sensitive run i'm good lorraine promote the government had come riding on
1:36 pm
the strength our father the very feral farmers freed is a very sensitive we should 9 try and reason that we see that the delhi police that you can granted permission to the farmers to do to create contradictive routes but right now what we witnessed in the national captain is that several tractors are marching towards the red thought in a move to show their anger and resentment towards * the more the government has acted on this issue it's created a lot you know the problem in the national capital is this beginning to cross the line for you from going from being a law in order issue from being a few people demonstrating on the streets to being a big political problem for mr modi. if you look at the read the protests we've seen we all support protesting the peacefully.
1:37 pm
or just. today we see that it's really gone also part of. the government's need to arm so because remember it's a hard core turning green card. the more the government funding the. very historic day truth is that it's public. these scenes are definitely not going to read as far as is concerned because. the government is already this. government. * is a very strong for telephone records of all of the comments that the government really for the folks in the corner spider. unfolding situation that's going on the farmers union. and so i think because this. has really gone all so far and that's far as. ok we must leave it the most are missing in delhi thank you very
1:38 pm
much. the new u.s. special climate envoy says america is back to taking a leading role in fighting against climate change john kerry spoke at a virtual summit hosted in the netherlands by the netherlands yesterday on how to adapt to a warming planet it was called the adaptation summit previous um it's a focus on the causes this is the 1st one that's addressing directly at the effects president joe biden agreed last week to return to the 2015 paris climate accord after donald trump pulled out of course during his time in the white house. we have a president now thank god who reads tells the truth and you see used by those who shoot him president biden knows that we have to mobilize an unprecedented ways to meet a challenge that is fast accelerating so we're proud to be back we come back i want you to know if you realty the absence of the last 4 years and we'll do everything
1:39 pm
in our power to make up for joining us here on the news hour is tom ridge at qana he's co-founder of global optimism an organization working to have emissions by 2030 he joins us from tautness in the u.k. tom are the conic welcome to the news hour so john kerry making the right noises but what did that summit yesterday actually achieve. well thanks for having me said the adaptation summit is crucially important actually for a long time the world is now know we need to focus on climate change the paris agreement was a big step forward in that direction but the paris agreement focused both on mitigation to reduce emissions to 0 by the middle of the century and also on adaptation don't forget that a significant amount of climate impacts and now locked in and we need proper investment and proper planning to deal with that climate change is fundamentally there and most of those impacts will be felt by the developing world so what's great about the adaptation summit and the fact that so many heads of state and heads of u.n. agencies and john kerry with that is to really say cannot but the developed world
1:40 pm
