the nuclear deal. a 100000000 cases worldwide 100000 deaths in britain alone the toll of just one year of the pandemic rounds. so the need for vaccines grows europe says the drug companies must deliver as a raul about delays similar plus. saw. the jury that will decide the donald trump's fake senators are sworn in for the impeachment trial. and the children who know nothing but war now scrambling through syria's rubbish to survive. i mean sports thomas to call has been confirmed as chelsea's new manager the former paris and your mind coach replacing from. it was fired on monday. says he's ordered his force us to step up preparations for possible of pensive

actions against iran warning new u.s. president joe biden that it would be wrong to return to the 2015 nuclear deal. i had instructed the army to prepare a number of operational plans to the existing ones we are taking care of these plants and the people that in the coming year does who decide on cutting them out of course but the political leaders of these plans have to be on the table and practiced. well as harry for citizen west jerusalem for us and joins us now via skype harry put this in the bit of context for us what else did he say. yes these comments came on an annual conference via israeli institute for national security studies. like some general javi speak every year and you're in this speech he said that he wants to make his position clear that

even an improved deal iran nuclear deal the j. c.p.o. a that the joe biden may bring the united states back into iraq to be strong ministration pulled out of it in $2800.00 even improved deal he said would be a mistake that iran could be within months of breakout and that it could lead to a wider regional crisis and as you heard in that clip as well saying that that was why as far as he's really meant he was concerned it was important to get new plans on top of the existing plans for offensive operations against iran to prevent it getting nuclear progress. on the table ready for use during the course of this year and now this accords with what was reported in a newspaper which is very supportive of the administration of the prime minister benjamin netanyahu this month saying that such plans were being drawn up that they

were being put back on the table the defense minister benny gantz could sit in knots soko saying that such moves were necessary but this is obviously different it's a message coming directly from the nie the mouth of the head of the israeli army and it comes at a time when there is some public debate here in israel as to how the israeli government should best try to convince the by the ministration of the merits of its case which is that iran should not be announced to resuscitate this deal unless it meets a very stringent mr his many demands which if you expect to meet. will have that debate should be but will that argument should be carried privately to the biden ministration there are poor. that's the be head of the mossad intelligence agency is due to go to washington d.c. in the coming weeks to do just that or whether there should be a public challenge to the biden ministration this may be a way of trying to have their cake and eat it by not having the politicians but

rather the military making this case nonetheless it will be loud and clear in the united states in washington d.c. and in itself it is a challenge to the incoming administration harry falso with the latest from west jerusalem harry thank you well that message will not just be heard in the united states it will also be heard in tehran so let's cross that door center bari who joins us from the iranian capital add or so what kind of reaction can we expect from the iranians to the statement. we're likely to see some very strong responses in the coming hours we have a cabinet meeting to be held early wednesday morning by president have some rouhani during which he will most likely address these latest developments now course iran has been for its part very vocal over the past few weeks about the fact that they will defend themselves there has been a number of trips made by the head of the revolutionary guard as well as the 2nd in

command of the armed forces major general bother you who's visited a number of sites defense of sites across the country the message has been clear and that is that the iranians are prepared and ready and able to respond to any kind of aggression as for the future of this nuclear deal we have heard in the past 24 hours from the spokesperson of the government the rabi who said that the iranians have now issued a time a deadline for president biden to respond to decide how he will proceed and that will be the end of february that is that that lie based on the law that was passed in parliament given the government mandates to actually accept accelerate the country's nuclear program since the u.s. withdrew from it and imposed a series of sanctions this bill is coming into action because the iranians want to see some of those sanctions lifted the iranian foreign minister to treat very frustrated over the past few hours saying that there is no reason for iran to go

back into full compliance of the nuclear deal unless the united states lift the sanctions that they've imposed and returns the deal in terms of the negotiating any kind of a further deal that is absolutely out of the question for the iranians that j.c. as it is known i'll stand as is and iran will come into compliance as soon as the other parties that are signatory to the deal do the same the iranians have as of early january have now gone up to 20 percent enriched enrichment levels and under the. nuclear deal they're only allowed to be at 3.67 percent they say that this is part of their plan to try and force the united states to lift sanctions and return to the nuclear deal for now it seems that things are actually getting much worse before it could get any better they're such a party with the latest from tehran door so thank you well alan fischer is following events for us in washington d.c. alan of course the u.s.

is a storage only been a supporter of israel's president trump former president was definitely in one quite an unconditional unquestioning a supporter of president biden. also support israel as though he has made it clear that on things like the nuclear issue he did want to rejoin so how do you think this will be welcomed by the biden administration. well we've asked the white house for a comment they've referred us to the national security council and they're hoping to get back to his very shortly they may well have known the comments made by the israeli general i suspect in the white house this will be seen as a challenge to joe biden who is on the record as saying he would like to get back into the iran nuclear deal as long as it could be toughened up and you remember that the sanctions that are being put in place by the trumpet ministration are still very much on place in iran in fact the israeli general the chief of staff made comment about that saying that iran is a much weaker position compared to 2015 because of the sanctions that we've put in

place by the trump administration as for the possibility that the united states is about to jump back into the iran deal that has been dismissed by 2 very senior figures just in the last couple of days you've got tony blinken who will take over as the new secretary of state on wednesday he has said we will move into compliance with the iran nuclear deal as soon as the run starts to do the same so it's almost as if or key iran saying we will come back to compliance when america signs up but tony blinken seems to be suggesting compliance farce then we get back into the deal and also we had from marvel hines who is the new director of national intelligence here in the united states who said in the last 48 hours or so that nothing with the iran nuclear deal was imminent the united states wasn't ready to jump in to that no joe biden has got other priorities he believes that covered relief is a huge priority for him at the moment he's talking about

a covert relief bill in the next hour or so he's talking about getting more vaccines out into the country to lifting the level of vaccinations that are being carried out it's so foreign policy and in particular the g.c. the iran nuclear deal isn't close to the top of his agenda clearly something will be keeping. is iowa and if we get any comment from the white house of the national security council which sheds any more light on the position we'll let you know but it would seem that joe biden isn't ready to make any sort of knee jerk reaction because the israeli army chief of staff has made some comments at a conference helen fisher with the latest there from outside the white house allan thank you hospitals are at breaking point the global economy is being shattered and vaccines are being rushed out as the coronavirus pandemic continues to break records across the world in the last hour global infections were confirmed to have topped $100000000.00 and covered 19 continues to

repsol countries the u.k. has become the world's smallest nation to record more than 100000 fatalities after more than 1600 new deaths were reported on tuesday the prime minister has faced criticism throughout but says he takes full responsibility on this day i should just really repeat that i am deeply sorry for every life that has been lost and of course as good as as prime minister i take full responsibility for everything that the government has done what i can tell you is that we truly did everything we could and continue to do everything that we can to minimize loss of life and to minimize suffering in what has been a very very difficult. stage very very difficult crisis for our country. more than a 1000000 infections have also been confirmed in indonesia were hospitals are being

u.s. brazil and india have recorded the highest number of deaths more than 50 countries are now racing to inoculate their populations several vaccines have been approved for use internationally but poor countries are struggling to secure doses meanwhile fast spreading virus mutations are raising concerns of a vaccine efficacy concerns health experts are trying to address there's a thing called a cushion effect so if you have a vaccine like the moderna and the pfizer vaccine that can suppress the virus at a delusion let's say of one to 1000 and then you influences it by bringing it down to maybe. i want of during a 100 or something like that you are still well above the line of not being affected in china months of tough measures and closed borders have seen the outbreak largely controlled but in the north authorities are now battling resurgent cases in beijing mass testing and tracing measures have been reimposed.

countries previously numbers of infections have reintroduced restrictions due to increases in cases 2021 may be a new year but. the global fight to contain covered 19 is far from. al-jazeera beijing. in the u.k. for families left behind the emotional cost. andrew symonds travel to bradford in the north of england where densely populated poor areas are among the worst hit all over the u.k. the enormity of what's happening is sometimes hard to absorb. the health service is overloaded to near breaking point many hospitals have no more room left for the dead. temporary mortuary is has been set up and now there's a landmark figure 100000 dead no one in our worst nightmare is to suppose that

would be 10 months into the pandemic was such a loss of life. this is bradford there are high levels of deprivation poor housing and ethnic minorities living close together here cove it has struck these communities hard and this muslim cemetery is where many of the dead are buried the grave digging is relentless and they're running out of space coated has frozen painful moments like this in the minds and hearts of too many people brothers fathers mothers daughters sons taken by the virus and the numbers increase remorselessly. 100000 lives lost and how many more to come the scale of this ongoing disaster can be measured in so many tragic ways the crowded graveyards and the challenge of trying to visualize how many

lives have been lost as the counting of those who have died continues a look at the u.k.'s biggest football stadium wembley can help convert those to to sticks into some sort of scale imagine every seat here is one last life and even with the stadium full it would fall $10000.00 short of the total just as hard to visualize is the number of those in mourning charities that arrange counseling estimate the number of bereaved at more than half a 1000000 and we're worried that that's the silent crisis going on behind closed doors marie curie and end of life charities says lockdowns mean many of the bereaved aren't getting help those people are isolated they're dealing with complex difficult the reason and that they might not be getting the support they need surely would gallagher's father died alone she's shielding because of

a sad and tragic story and today we need to mourn with all those families who've lost loved ones because of the catastrophic failure of the british government allowing its public health system to be run and. the prime minister to be distracted by preg zet and by his chaotic personal life so that he never got to grips with the pandemic back in february and march so you know we're so far behind new zealand and australia and other countries that we might wish to compare or not i suppose it was maybe easier comparisons would be with other european countries will it in fairness have also suffered from the pandemic so when you say that there have been catastrophic failures from the government specifically what do you think some of those were. well for 10 years we've let our public health system run we haven't done the periodic rehearsals for the test catastrophic public

health incidence we had an exercise in 2016 which identified a lot of the weaknesses the record was never published we never acted on it so when the term demick started we didn't have the capacity and although called public health teams we didn't have the testing capacity we didn't have the personal protective equipment and you know it just went from there really we've had a government that was has not been committed to openness and transparency and just sit all the numbers so to be forgive me for interrupting you you seem to be saying that a lot of structural issues with the health service in the u.k. so are you saying that certain decisions that were made for example boris johnson famously the site into lockdown the country back in march weeks after some people suggested that he might how much of an impact do you think those specific this issue has had well yeah because the problem was he was so slow off the mark that

then we needed to look i mean we've we've been hearing today how some countries didn't need to lock down because they acted in a timely way his in decisiveness is part of the problem you know and the changing message is everybody's confused the poor example set by senior people in the government dominic cummings and others means that the public trust is gone and it's very difficult now to get young people in particular to do what they're being asked to do because the government has done something else it's been very much a question of do as i say not as i do. what do you think the future might hold because now we have 100000 deaths of course says war scene depend they make is far from over and no one seems to be able to guarantee a time when lockdown will be lifted so what do you see the next few months like

it's going to be very grim you know this $100000.00 is an underestimate it's much more like a $120.00 or 130000 the been people dying at home who've never been diagnosed with cove it and we've got an epidemic running in the nation's prisons which the government's been silence about you know this is we are in a bad place hopefully one good thing has been the vaccine program so far but if the international squabbling about vaccine supplies impacts on the u.k. that may not reach its targets. and the virus is now it's a global phenomenon it's going to keep mutating and so we're likely to be faced with new variants at this late seeing for years to come so we've got to get back to basics with traditional public health measures of hygiene we've heard about overcrowded housing that's part of the problem is housing standards in the u.k.

are much lower than other parts of northern europe and we have a lot of people living in overcrowded housing where the virus spreads and there's a report published yesterday that shows that people who are most vulnerable to the virus are people of low income living in overcrowded has ng and doing public facing jobs or you know the vaccine program itself i've been hearing that even undertakers are not a priority for the vaccine but they're dealing with dead bodies and they need to be protected dr john ashton former director of public health in northwest england sir thank you for sharing your views with us thank you very much. well tom on the al-jazeera news hour rolling into the heart of delhi india farmers break barricades with their tractors as they fight against reforms more than 1000000 corona virus infections are recorded in indonesia where hospitals are being forced to turn patients away and in sports south africa are back playing test cricket in

pakistan for the 1st time since 2007 and the will be here with that and more for. $100.00 u.s. senators of being sworn in to act as jurors in the 2nd impeachment trial of former president donald trump starting next month solemnly swear. to all the ever came home of the. drama from the president. now. you will do impartial good record the constitution and all you guys need to call it. trump is accused of inciting an insurrection for his speech to supporters before they stormed the capitol building 3 weeks ago now but

at least 17 republicans need to vote against strong for him to be convicted why did you cast his following events for us in washington d.c. . so 1st of all what is happening now and generally speaking do you get the sense that republicans would support a conviction. well the senators have been sworn in barbara so now we officially have a court of impeachment but it was telling because shortly after them taking their oath there was a trial though a test vote if you will that really gauges how many republicans are open at all to a possible conviction this was because senator rand paul republican ally former president trump try to force through this motion that would have ended this trial before it even began his argument that it is unconstitutional to try a former u.s. president well when put to the task with a full floor

a vote we had only 5 republican senators who agreed that the trial should proceed that is a significant barbara because as you know 17 senate republicans would be required for any eventual conviction and this really paints how tall the mountain the democratic impeachment managers will have to climb in order to present their case and bring a larger number of republicans to their side with democrats to convict former president trump the ultimate. result of a conviction could be barring him from returning to future office and we would expect those arguments to begin to be laid out in about 2 weeks time barbara how does your castro with the latest from capitol hill heidi think you will is mayor is a republican strategist and the president of mayor strategies she joins us by skype from stanford in connecticut madam thank you for joining us year 0 now obviously

we'll have to see how the impeachment trial goes but there are many who say that. sorry i think we're having issues with the connection to connecticut we will try to speak to our guests a little bit later ms mayer president of mayor strategies and a republican strategist as well we'll try to get that interview up a little later in the program it watching out as they were life from london the still ahead hundreds dead and still no closure of the quest for justice 2 years after one of brazil's worst mining disasters. and in sports a year on from the death of kobe bryant leave run james produces a fitting on court tribute.

number of record of coronavirus cases around the world has passed the 100000000 the pandemic emerged from the chinese. a little over a year ago and more than 100000 people in the u.k. have now died from covert 19 that's the highest number of deaths in any country. speaking of europe the e.u. is urging vaccine companies to honor their contracts as the block struggles to inoculate people quickly both astra zeneca and pfizer by own take have announced that they will fall short of their promise deliveries now threats to block exports are being traded with warnings against so-called vaccine nationalism when it came reports from berlin. freshly produced for sending out to distribution centers it's highly likely these doses of the astra zeneca vaccine have already been injected into british patients but while the global demand for this product is very high now

the makers say their ability to supply non u.k. clients is not specifically the $27.00 member states of the e.u. who collectively paid more than $400000000.00 upfront for a possible $400000000.00 doses their allocation of the vaccine for the 1st quarter of the year has been cut by 60 percent prompting an angry reaction in many european capitals europe invested billions to help develop the world's 1st covered $1000.00 vaccines to create a truly global common good and now the companies must deliver they must honor their obligations and this is why we will set up a vaccine export transparency mechanism europe is determined to contribution to this global common good but it also means business. the german health minister has

suggested imposing export limits on vaccines produced in the e.u. potentially hindering the dispatch of the biotech pfizer product destined for the u.k. something the british government wants to avoid i think the thing to do now is not to. go down the sort of the dead end of vaccine nationalism it's to work together to make sure that we protect our people that's my priority is to protect the british people to protect the united kingdom but also to protect the whole world is no one is safe from tools it is no more than 4 weeks since germany began its own mass vaccination program 1st in care homes and more recently vaccination centers such as this one here in central berlin using a combination of the bond tech pfizer vaccine and the mode products and the health ministry says that it plans to take delivery by the end of february of more than 6 and a half 1000000 doses of both those vaccines what's not clear is how many doses of

the astra zeneca product will be added to that e.u. regulators hope to approve it for use later this week dominic kane al-jazeera berlin a 1000000 indonesians have now been diagnosed with covert 19 makes it the worse the fact that country in southeast asia with almost 30000 confirmed deaths the health care infrastructure is close to collapse and doctors say they have been forced to turn away critically ill patients jessica washington reports from jakarta. on indonesia's most populous island java hospitals are stretched to their limits these covered 19 patients were able to get treatment but many others are missing out now how did they not last and i'm 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 the well google case i am 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 bed 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 road is 27 percent it's hard 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. be the emergency unit was full there was a tent for all the positive cases but all the rooms were full so my parents were

outskirts of new delhi police fire tear gas when a group of farmers breached security barricades with their tractors. the demonstrations coincide with india's republic day as farmers rallied nearby this. is what another side of the capital look like on tuesday morning a festive display of the country's cultural diversity and military strength is that by the way over. the entire country watches delhi on republic day so when the farmers roll the tractors into delhi and the message goes out that the farmers fight is not yet over it's just started we are fighting for rights by entering the city. opposition to 3 agricultural last pass in november is challenging the authority of prime minister narendra modi the reforms will relax rules on the sale price and storage of farm produce the government says the changes will boost incomes and private investments but farmers say they are an invitation for

conglomerates to. he kovar agriculture in india is coming sunday a good job i don't believe that we're calling for the modi government to take back these 3 laws so that the farmers get the rights back the government has passed these laws without any discussions without any thought they just imposed them. about half of the country's 1300000000 people work in agriculture the government's offer to delay the new laws for 18 months have been rejected by farmers. they say they will continue protesting until the laws are fully repealed katia lucas of the young al-jazeera. the acting u.s. envoy to the u.n. says president joe biden's policy for israel and palestine will be to support a mutually agreed 2 state solution the un security council has been meeting to discuss the issue and our diplomatic editor james bays has spoken to norway's foreign ministry minister on the countries that cade's long role in peace

negotiations there has been some interesting developments in the region that could potentially create some new dynamics and i did in my intervention today also applaud and welcome in our military action agreements between israel and several arab states that was also reiterated by many of my colleagues and also by the new u.s. administration and i think that it provides at least a potential for a new dynamic in the region if it does not solve the israeli palestinian issues they have to be negotiated and the final status issues are not solved by this the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov talked of the idea of an international conference or ministerial meeting that was dismissed by the israeli ambassador. he said it would be pointless and the destruction. well i would not rule out any ideas at this stage i think that when we now entered into the security council 3

weeks ago we entered with the clear ambition of restarting and negotiations between israelis and palestinians and if a conference is what is needed then i think we should not rule that out how important will the role of the new biden administration be clearly they have more leverage than anyone else on the israeli government and are you somewhat worried that they're going to be overburdened dealing with. dealing with the global economy and in the middle east with the priority being on trying to get back into iran deal . i think there is no doubt whatsoever that the nearby administration will have to spend a lot of time on domestic politics because they have a pandemic out of control they have an economy that is close to suffering badly and in addition to that trying to mend and shield an extremely polarized american society but on the other hand signals that have come out so far from the new administration and also in the senate hearing me of tony blinken it seems like they

are reengaging on some of these areas with the palestinians with the international community and i think what the american representative said just now in the meeting is also taken very positively by by the rest of the security council because it shows that there is a strong emphasis on the 2 state solution many of remarked on the fact that israel has been very successful in vaccinating its population but there are human rights groups who say that israel should be providing vaccinations to the palestinians as they are the occupying power your view will be also of course gives the clearest also ability to the palestinian authority is of actually conducting vaccination and all of the vaccination programs have been conducted by by the p.a. this is a very special situation and it's bigger and more it encompasses much more than any

war over the.

it was secure straight to the white house that were president joe biden is unveiling his latest measures to fight covert blank let's listen in for getting the program off the ground and that credit is absolutely do but it's also no secret that we have recently discovered in the final days of the transition and it was until the final days we got the kind of cooperation we needed that once we arrived the vaccine program is in worse shape than we anticipated or expected a lot of you follow this and nobody is i mean this is scary the press is the smartest group of people in town knew you hone this stuff down clearly i think you found the same thing even before i took office i announced a new vaccine vaccination strategy and it was centers on federal leadership and

execution for our whole country and that's why i directed my covert team to go to work immediately and how we could step up the vaccination efforts and the vaccinations i'm pleased to announce the 1st progress and that work today and i'm day 7 of my my presidency. first after a review of the current vaccine supply manufacturing plants i can announce that we will increase overall we dose starting next week that's an increase of $1400000.00 doses per week and you all know if i may say no parent that agree you all know. teams are distributed to states based on population based on population and so the smaller the state the less vaccine the bigger the state the more they get and so this is going to allow millions of more americans to get vaccinated sooner than previously anticipated you know a long way to go the 2nd thing we're increasing the transparency was states cities

and tribes and local partners when it comes to the vaccine supply this is something we've heard over and over again from both democrats and republicans state and local leaders that they need a plan in order to what they know what they have to plan and they need know what the order is going to be jeff had a meeting with the governors on resume and and others in there i think we're getting this coordinated in a way that there's increased cooperation and confidence but until now we've had to guess how much vaccine to expect for the next week and that's what the governors had to do how much they may get in next week this is unacceptable. you know lives are at stake here from this week forward god willing will ensure that states tribes and territories will now always have a reliable 3 week forecast what the supply they're going to get so they'll know 3

weeks ahead of time what's going to be there in the 3rd week this is going to help make sure governors mayors and local leaders have greater certainty around supply so they can carry out their plans to vaccinate as many people as possible so we will both increase the supply in the short term by more than 50 percent and give our states and local partners more certainty about when deliveries will arrive these 2 steps are going to help increase our prospects of hitting enter or exceeding god willing the ambitious goal of 100000000 shots in 100 days. but i also want to be clear $100000000.00 shots in $100.00 days is not the end point it's just the start we're not stopping there the end goal is to be covert 90 and the way we do that is to get more people vaccinated which means we have to be ready after we hit the ground i hate we have to hit the goal of 100000000 shots

in 100 days now that means fewer than 100000000 people getting totally vaccinated means 100 shots and it means somewhere between 60 maybe less maybe more 1000000 people have that because it requires 2 shots in many cases not all of us so today i'm directing covert 1000 response coordinator jeff signs here to work with the department of health and human services increase our total supply of vaccine for the american people and we believe that we'll soon be able to confirm the purchase of an additional $100000000000.00 doses for each of the 2 f.d.a. authorized vaccine pfizer in return and that's $100000000.00 more doses of pfizer and $100000000.00 more doses of modernity 200000000 more doses than the federal government had previously secured not in hand yet but order we expect these additional $200000000.00 doses to be delivered this summer and some of that will

come as early began the commune early summer but by the middle of by the mid summer that this vaccine will be there and the order and that increases the total vaccine order in the united states by 50 percent from $400000000.00 order to 600000000 this enough vaccine to fully vaccinated over listening to joe biden the u.s. president to outline part of the u.s. strategy when it comes to covert vaccines he said that the vaccine program they discovered wasn't boris shaped and they expected he's announced that they were beginning. vaccine supply to the states has promised 100000000 shots in 100 days this on the day when there has been confirmation that there's been a 100000000 coronavirus cases in the world war news in a few minutes they with us. in
