recording at least $10000.00 cases per day the u.k. is trying to stop its situation from getting any worse its latest idea mandatory hotel quarantine for all overseas travelers that's expected to be announced in the coming few hours the netherlands is struggling to enforce its own rules with rioters battling police over a might time curfew a dutch minister has called the protesters quote scum and the government is refusing to back down and then there's the rest of the european union their vaccination plans have been stuck by supply delays which have come up short by around $50000000.00 doses but oxford astra zeneca says it could make up some of the shortfall offering to bring forward its deliveries that's according to the reuters news agency in the u.s. president joe biden is positive about the vaccination rollout there he says the country will be on the way to herd immunity by the month of june and studies of

israel's vaccine program shows it's working almost every recipient of the pfizer buy on tech seem to get some form of immunity from covert 19 after their 2nd dose. ok kimberly help is live in washington d.c. charlie angela will join us from london's heathrow airport harry forceable be live in west jerusalem dominic cain will join us from berlin and step vasant is live in amsterdam 1st this report from jessica washington in jakarta indonesia are now supporting 1000000 cases of covert 90. on indonesia's most populous island java hospitals are stretched to their limits he's covered 900 patients were able to get treatment but many others are missing out added to the not fastened on among we have rejected so many people in the hospital reject patients every day because there's nothing else we can do the doctors having to reject critically ill patients is

a heavy burden for the new well i gotta say and it makes me so sad to turn down patients i read the files of patients who are referred to our hospital they can hardly breathe but we cannot help them. the indonesian hospitals association says hospitals on the island of java and bali are close to collapse doctors are forced to turn away patients because of a lack of intensive care unit beds and a shortage of health care workers. indonesia's covert 19 task force says in some cities all hospital beds are full and health specialists say on average more than a quarter of people are testing positive for the disease. across indonesia the positivity rate is 27 percent it's high the w.h.o. standard is 5 percent to ensure that the pandemic can be controlled. many have struggled to get care for their loved ones it also must. the emergency unit was full there was a tent for all the positive cases but all the rooms were full so my parents were

sent home with medication. out of desperation some families have turned to a local covert 19 data agency to help them get their relative into a hospital often it is too late. from our cases one died in the health center another died in a taxi after being rejected by many hospitals another died in hospital because the i.c.u. was full. despite the rise in cases and deaths indonesia's president says the situation is under control. we're grateful that indonesia is one of the countries that can control this crisis well that many health workers have criticised the government for failing to properly implement restrictions to stop the spread of the virus and allowing a crisis to unfold in their hospitals jessica washington 0 jakarta.

live to washington and our correspondent there so kimberly something of a mixed bag here joe biden's administration signaling we're on track for the vaccine rollout but the numbers are going to get a lot lot worse before they start coming down again. yes the projection from president joe biden is that there are dark days ahead that there is an expectation that before things are under control there could be as many as 660000 people dead from coronavirus in the united states that's why they are stepping up the vaccination program we heard on the campaign trail from joe biden 100000000 vaccinations by 100 days now we're hearing that things are going well things are on track and that number could be as high as 150000000 people vaccinated in the 1st 100 days but here's the problem in all of this they've got a long way to go because in terms of that 2 dose vaccination process just one

percent of americans have been vaccinated still they believe this rollout is moving swiftly and so that goal of herd immunity is something that the united states believes it can attain by june in other words the those who want a vaccine by spring will be able to get one but again that number of dark days ahead that's more than 600000 deaths that are expected in the united states before that herd immunity can be achieved that's why those travel restrictions that have been in place for visitors to the united states from places like parts of europe brazil that is going to remain in place now very quickly it's not just sort of the medical front that is ailing this country of course it's also the economic front as well that's why the biden administration pushing very hard on capitol hill for another covert relief package the price tag pretty high 1.9 trillion dollars and that's why it's getting some resistance on capitol hill so a lot of work ahead for the biden administration but it remains optimistic it meet

these goals kimberly thank you very much let's go to. a rather chilly london's heathrow airport so charlie we had grown shops the transport minister secretary on the sunday morning talk shows saying we're investigating the science of tightening everything up and it looks like they're just about to do that they might be about to bring in a hotel based quarantine. yes the aviation industry is really on tenterhooks waiting for that announcement with expecting either later today or tomorrow it seems that ministers are divided some want a bill that blanket measures for all travelers arriving into the u.k. similar to what happens in australia where. arrivals a bus straight to hotels and forced to spend 10 days there in isolation at their own expense other ministers seem to be pushing for measures just applying to u.k. residents returning from countries like south africa brazil and portugal which are considered high risk because of that more contagious coded variance so we're

waiting to see which way that goes with the aviation industry really says that any measures are going to be a definite no for for the for the industry it will affect to be close u.k. borders and they argue that the country already has very strict policies in place any arrivals have to prove a negative test before departure and on arrival self isolate for 10 days and flights directly from brazil and south africa are all ready and but the government says that the threat of a new unknown covert variant that could be resistant to the vaccines currently being rolled out in the u.k. is too great this country is finally seeing its infection rates beginning to fall and they don't want to put that in jeopardy charlie thank you very much reporting live from just west of london at heathrow let's move to berlin my colleague the dominant theme so dumb last october november time all the vaccine manufacturers were pretty much very very clear they were talking about

a distinct timeline it looks now as if they're not delivering on it for whatever reason. the view here in berlin is pretty clear that they believe that astra zeneca should be providing the millions of doses that it promised it would provide when it received an upfront payment of more than 400000000 dollars for a potential 400000000 doses money that they received many months ago now and not just here in germany but across the e.u. institutions of the e.u. in brussels but also many member states believe that this is should not be allowed to stand there have been people certainly the the federal health minister here young man talking about perhaps a block being placed on vaccines made in the e.u. being shipped to the united kingdom what's really at stake here is that all very

many of the 27 member states in the e.u. had based their plans mass vaccination strategies on using the astra zeneca vaccine and now that astra zeneca has said that it's not going to be able to supply even half of what it had planned to supply in the 1st few months of january well that's caused alarm bells to ring certainly that's something that the varian prime minister said in the course of the last hour or so now there is some crumb of comfort perhaps from the fact that some astra zeneca officials have said well they may be able to accelerate the release of some of the doses they said they were going to deliver in february moving it forward from the 15th of february to the 8th of february but what it leaves still is many senior politicians in berlin in brussels around europe looking at what's happened with astra zeneca and wondering perhaps have they as it were backed the right horse should they perhaps have invested more money in the other vaccines available madonna and also the pfizer

biotech vaccines and that chimes here in berlin because of course buy on tack is a german fun and it is that vaccine which was the 1st. to be approved across the e.u. that's why you hear the sorts of things that are being said in berlin and in brussels dominic thank you very much dominic in berlin live to west jerusalem and our correspondent there harry for so so harry generally the picture globally is negative apart from israel i mean they're still in the country done in effect for 2 weeks that was announced by benjamin netanyahu we know this to be true but they've got good news when it comes to the vaccine rollout and also the efficacy of the vaccine and the traction it's giving people. yes as you say there is a very high caseload. and more than 8000 hits on monday with a 10 percent of its attitude right there about levels of infection among schoolchildren with a lockdown due to expire this coming weekend so concerns about whether schools may

be reopened or not nearly $0.50 a case is standing in the u.k. barrie said there are still major concerns and there isn't is that the government still trying to quell pretty hard to control the outbreak but there is this extremely positive seeming news on the efficacy of the vaccine released late on sunday. both one of the 4 main health providers here in israel using its own numbers to show that after a week on from the 2nd round of the pfizer vaccine of nearly 130000 people and not. only $28.00 were infected with the disease so that's a percentage of 0.015 per cent from the government's health ministry without similar figures or a large degree as well sort of it's not a precise scientific study into a control group. there isn't necessary indication of causation versus

correlation it certainly was such a large group of heatly already vaccinated in such short time the signs are very good nicholas this is this rather is dumb when spies are opening up this country is a giant testing lab really with the extremely well recorded digitized records available to pfizer in exchange for this cost roll out of the vaccine and so far the signs of very good and that have limitations ok all right thank you very much live to amsterdam and my colleague our correspondent there step boss and so step the government they're not backing down on introducing quite. measures to make sure that they're going in the right direction. no they're not backing down absolutely not and they're calling these rioters carona hooligans basically are young people mostly men who have been attacking police provoking police looting shops and

destroying all kinds of property and it's an odd burst of anger of course that the netherlands hasn't seen for many many years so everyone is actually wondering what that triggered is and of course we've seen this curfew in place since saturday night but 3 nights in the role there have been riots so there are protesters also actually been protesting against the corona matches but these seem to be young people are really this satisfy distrusting the government who actually also want to show their anger as well it's a combination it seems of a conspiracy thank yourself also backed by a q a non this this movement in the united states but also protesters who are actually also been very peaceful but this makes has also been sort of provoked by far right politicians i have to say who also actually called on people to resist against this curfew from 9 pm in the evening basically saying or liberties are being taken away

from us well that's not much really been taken away from the dutch since the beginning of the film that makes because the lockdown was much more lenient than we saw in other countries the government has been very hesitant also been for texting businesses but now of course they sort of lost the battle with the virus and decided very last minute that they needed some stricter measures which is now this curfew so people are also a bit at last with these the government in decisiveness so to say ok state we'll leave it there many thanks to. saddam joining us now from. i mean he's the director met biotech a myth. called biotechnology laboratory institution thanks for joining us here on the news hour so why are we seeing in different parts of the world big fluctuations when it comes to what we think at the moment is the efficacy of a vaccine israel saying we're getting very very good hit results positive news

coming out of israel people in germany scientists in germany are saying actually in the older age group it may only be 89 or 10 percent protection being offered to people by the vaccine that they're administering that wow thank you for having me actually i think it's that that or that charge shown actually and you're a correspondent in israel actually it was clear i had that is it's not really a scientific that there's no i think that it's some discrepancy between the truth that to be shown and i think what's happened to us right and the data from history is quite clear actually that the number out of there and you have various smaller number that every day and he has not taken up the vaccine but i think that that that that from germany should be really looked at more carefully to be sure of what we have seen but in all of clinical data actually already shown that they forget it

was there around 90 for most of them need to percent and for the other ones around 70 to 80 percent so i think there will be not some lot of differences between that except if you have a treatment or a vaccination in small entering out with a cluster of people the coalition that's could be a difference but i think in most of the cases around the world the numbers are there and the difficulty is there why are we seeing problems in your mind you think with the production levels of the different vaccines. well it's quite simple peter as an answer because we don't have enough manufacturing capacity compatibility i think in and around the we're all good the factories are working in our shifts around that are 24 hours a shift but i think we don't have the they get into the woods and that think that's a listen to all of us and them thinking here about africa we have or most no factories for the vaccine and i think that's very set but i think most of the

vaccination market taxis are coming from either are there in the other china and these 2 countries actually they have more factories than the rest of the word actually i can give you a number the in the in institutional or firm see arm of india institute has actually having more than 60 percent of the cup ability or heard of vaccines in the world and that think that's a big problem and they think will be more think in birds have in all of the places around the world to discover if you forgive me if my next question sounds overly simplistic but we live in a time when if i had access to a 3 d. printer i could print a gun you can do that with technology now why are we not seeing when it comes to making the vaccine anyplace in the world why are we not seeing a war like effort to get this stuff out of the factories get it to the point of delivery. it's not that simple peter as

a question but i think there setter is we are not dealing with the same kind of substances actually i'm comparing here just the chemical kind of drugs that we are having over the counter if we can math many facts of this kind of drug quickly and easily but when you are talking about a biotechnology products here it's more complicated because what you were there when actually he's dealing with a live kind of viruses or a kind of love bacteria and you have actually to have a biotechnological process to have that so i think when you look at all the platform that's our new was you need a lot of the time to develop them and you need the expertise actually to manufacture them so i think that's one thing that we didn't do with anything that will need this kind of kind of manufacturing power everywhere but i think now we are almost certain that we need to have them everywhere simply if we are looking at the pandemic next time or lockable. epidemic we need to have this kind of power to

to to answer the needs of the population but i agree with you know the only big difference between this kind of product is there is an experience behind it it isn't and you have to invest a lot of money to have this kind of platforms but i think i mean i'm just coming back to my african in the 4th set thinking we could have done a lot for me in northern africa in southern africa in sub-saharan africa and this kind of you know manufacturing power could have helped us actually and they think we need to think about that mr brahimi there and robert good to talk to you sir thank you very much my pleasure. plenty more still to come on the news hour here for you including italy's prime minister resigns but could soon be on course to form a new unity government. a 2nd impeachment trial for donald trump the u.s. senate formally begins the process that could bar him from ever holding office again. and then a source of news gareth bale helps keep talking on track in english f.a.

legislation being scrapped followed on by a process where mr modi engages with the farmers and gives them a hybrid version perhaps of what the plan already is. in fact there have been clear discussions on this subject with the government itself we have said grab the 3 laws we do have suddenly pools and come to our being demand which is getting tea and assuring income for india's farmers 700000000 families are dependent on farm directly or indirectly. so that demanded the government or the committee will be for the leaves are you sure that the bribe would. have been these laws just given that we don't have to be removed from the we so that brought down a little. bit and we can all understand why he's doing all the government is not

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 a speech to supporters telling them to march to the capitol and fight like hell is young 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 threaten the integrity of the democratic system interfered with the peaceful transition of power and imperil 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 constitutional experts say otherwise from constitutional structure and from our history there is no reason to suppose that he could not 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. i 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 the ugandan opposition leader bobby wine says the police siege of his home was a form of quote torture he'd been under house arrest since the presidential election 12 days ago which mr weiner claims was fraudulent security forces a man lifted the blockade of his home after a court order but one says the police are still monitoring him the law provides for the people of uganda to stand for their rights and we encourage them to stand against one thread to link results that were read by me is that about come mr 70 should not be president of uganda and we encourage the people of uganda to use

orderly go and or nonviolent means and ideas that they have to free themselves from the 70 bigoted as you al-jazeera is catherine saw is following developments from neighboring kenya she joins us live from nairobi so catherine mr wind says he will and he's calling other people to do this to seize the moment what does that even mean and how do you think the governments will react to that. well very strong statements very strong words from both the line and definitely government official doesn't sit well with government officials who have been saying that the reason why security forces were deployed to what we once housed in the fast place was because of threats to national security messages that could incite the public they said they had information that probably one could have been planning a valid part asked after the declaration of the presidential election and so this

press conference was held in his home after the police and soldiers were withdrawn in compliance to the court order issued yesterday and basically he reiterated that he has overwhelming evidence of widespread rigged a widespread irregularities including a rigging he did not provide this evidence but he said that his party the national unity platform is considering the option of going to court even if they do not trust the system and don't trust the judges will give him a fair hearing then he went ahead to call on ugandans to use every means nonviolent means legal means to free themselves he gave an example of the uprising in sudan 2019 as saying that the state has must fall so this will likely upset many government officials and president yoweri museveni has also spoken about the election he was speaking in entebbe during the country's labor liberation day

celebrations where he said that the election was free but there are some people who are trying to cause trouble he said that the government will not tolerate any form of violence he also said and i'll quote this we are not a shallow force which shall be tossed around by opportunists forget about threats so definitely a looming showdown but like i said why. a strong statement he made but then he was also careful thing that what is going to happen whatever is going to happen going forward is going to happen using within the confines of the low ok catherine thanks very much catherine sawyer there reporting live from nairobi. back to europe the italian prime minister just as we come to you has resigned in a bid to form a new government he went to the presidential palace to submit his resignation of the president. will now start consultations with party leaders weapons in the

meantime mr conti will stay home in a caretaker role he in effect lost his majority want a virtual title junior partner in his coalition quit over his handling of the pandemic his resignation is seen as something of a gamble stephanie joins us live from rome so stephanie i guess he didn't really have a choice this is his only option here. yes i think that's the understanding here certainly because there was an important vote going to be put ahead of the 2 houses of parliament tomorrow was expected that he was going to lose that so this is now going to be the way forward as you mentioned political consultations party consultations meeting with the heads of different parties over the next 2 days or so to figure out who will be the right person to get that majority a lot of analysis here about how it's going to go i think the consensus is that perhaps i'm saying perhaps because everything is still up in the air peter that just at the concert may be given a 3rd child support a 3rd government that will then be more acceptable to those who have been you know

shuffling for power party political around him which is led to this political crisis so we don't know what the motive what's going to look like other people say that potentially you know there could be a situation where someone else is appointed so i think we're going to have to wait and see but certainly speaking to many italians over the last couple of weeks this has been bubbling before those votes actually happened is that this was not the time to pull the political crisis there's a lot of issues to be dealt with you know they call. economical situation has been the worst since the world war 2 in terms of public debt small businesses struggling people the homelessness is up for example in the last year here people can't pay their bills having lost jobs the vaccination has been whittled back because those are not being delivered by belgian schools remain closed. there's a lot going on and so it's it needs a strong government to push through legislation that a strong hand on things and serving at the moment that's not happening stephanie thanks very much steph teka reporting live from rome egyptian human rights groups
