territories from $8600000.00 doses to a minimum of $10000000.00 doses starting next week that's an increase of 1400000 doses per week and you all know if i may say no parent that agree you all know know that the vaccines 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 china is pushing to test 2000000 people in just 48 hours to contain a new coven 1000 cluster in beijing people into downtown districts have been lining up for testing 19 new cases have been reported in the city within the past 7 days the capital has been impossible locked down since the more contagious u.k. variant was detected a week ago. that's 8 year old this has become the 1st person to get

a mask and go but everything is open except for the schools right now in bangladesh ton very of course a huge number. in camps in bangladesh many plans to vaccinate them. well there are all angles are within the umbrella with the host community. started they were given all kind of precaution emergency shelters were set up with the help of the un and the local hospital authorities and the government there is no concrete strategy made on how they're going to vaccinate them but it is going to be in the same study for the host community absolutely they're going to actually vaccinate good say they haven't officially declared how when and what period of time that will be done but i'm sure this will be part of the main agenda to vaccinate nearly 1000000 throwing a refugee is not separately and. at least $4000.00 are expected to be in the bosh

and child island who will also be vaccinated ok many thanks for that tom there chantrey. for us. the netherlands has seen its worst street violence in 4 decades hundreds have been arrested during protests against a curfew imposed to stop the spread of covert 19 stuff fast and has very latest from stand. there not taking any chances after a night of unrest and looting shop owners in this neighborhood in amsterdam i'm nervous to come in numbers are obviously i have to barricade my shop every month already it's been stressful can we pay our rent told not and now this comes on top of it i've also lost my freedom but we just have to endure this if we stick together we'll be out of this crisis faster. but for these young men the curfew and this crisis have become an excuse to take over the city streets like here in rotterdam outnumbered police had to witness how shops were looted and destroyed the

same happened in a dozen other towns and cities across the country the netherlands has had a more relaxed approach in dealing with the covert 1000 pandemic compared to other countries stressing the dutch are too attached to their freedoms but with infection still high and growing concern over a new variant there corona measures have now become among district is in the world what started as protests against the film. by chaotic it may have so little to do with colonial masters but why i think that by growing. up against the government influenced by conspiracy theories on social media some groups are increasingly lashed out against government policies and attacked the media far right politicians have been accused of fueling these sentiments this group of people is getting much more detached from the general public and when you look at international sure of us we can also see that the trust gap between a certain group of people is increasing so it's not that this group is getting much

larger well we can't really say that this group is a large group but the trust between this group and other people is increasing so that's probably something we should worry about. in a message on social media the rotterdam mayor directly address rioters and their parents they're going to trial if you're going to have both of those that has over 2 guns out how did you wake up did you have a good feeling that you destroyed the city that you caused damages to the entrepreneurs of your city does that satisfy you and what did you do with the stuff you stole last night questions that many are asking in the netherlands like the shop owners in amsterdam who are also wondering why in times of crisis some people choose to make the situation even worse step fasten al-jazeera amsterdam still ahead on al-jazeera saw our field guards.

australia over the next couple of systems to watch out for just around the pilbara up towards the kimberley we could see some heavy rain and also some heavy rain around the cape york peninsula down towards the south we have seen some useful rainfall recently in sioux south australia you see how they are supposed starting to just squeezed together we are concerned about some very strong winds driving through over the next 24 hours could cause a little bit of damage some wet weather too just easing across the nullarbor or running towards adelaide as we go on through thursday and eventually that will make its way into a good part of victoria some heavy rain coming into very pushing over towards melbourne as we go through friday call and what if a sydney with a high of 25. for . the 1st time glimpse of the challenges faced by journalists in the age of donald trump we are fighting the fake it is

a phony the enemy of the people through the eyes of a veteran white house correspondent what do you base your glasses on he says are down the price is not after trump is after the we're not the enemy of the people we are the people u.s.a. the current battle ground truth is it anyway on al jazeera. the. you watching al-jazeera mind of our top stories this hour israel's senior military command says he's ordered his forces to speed up preparations for possible military action against iran he's also urging u.s. president joe biden against rejoining the iran nuclear deal. china says it will

accused of inciting an insurrection a test vote on how the chamber may decide the case in february it came at the request of republican senator rand paul a trump ally who argued the trial should and before it even begins because trump is no longer in office this proceeding which would try a private citizen and not a president a vice president or civil officer violates the constitution democrats called that argument ludicrous the theory that the impeachment of a former official is unconstitutional is flat out wrong by every frame of analysis constitutional context historical practice precedent and basic common sense. of true crime the day. $45.00 and the vote tally on the motion was in favor of proceeding with the trial but for democrats it was a hollow victory only 5 republicans joined them in opposing an immediate end to the

trial far short of the 17 republican votes needed later for a conviction. minority leader mitch mcconnell was among the 45 senate republicans now on record for opposing the trial a reversal from his earlier position of being open to conviction while trump is the 1st former u.s. president to be tried after leaving office he is not the 1st u.s. official nearly a 150 years ago a u.s. secretary of war resigned and then was later put on trial for impeachment the senate then was asked just as it was now whether proceeding with the trial was constitutional and they too answered yes but then the war secretary was acquitted with enough senators citing concerns that they lack of jurisdiction to convict it appears trumps fate may be headed in the same direction despite democrats arguments

he should be convicted and disqualified from holding office in the future we have a president who incited a violent attack on the united states capitol and on our very democracy so it's absolutely critical that we call that out and made sure that future presidents understand that this is completely unacceptable behavior the impeachment against trump will now move behind closed doors for the next 2 weeks before arguments return to the senate floor on february 9th heidi joe castro al jazeera washington. for the 1st time the new u.s. administration has revealed its approach to the israeli palestinian conflict at the u.n. security council and it's different from the previous trump administration on diplomatic and i said james bays explains. at the u.n. in new york diplomats say there is now a small window of opportunity for movement in one of the world's longest running conflicts at the end of president trump's administration israel signed

normalization deals with 4 arab nations but there was no progress on the biggest underlying problem peace between israelis and palestinians at a virtual meeting of the un security council many countries were represented by their foreign ministers but because the new u.s. secretary of state at this point had not been confirmed by the senate and neither had the new u.n. ambassador the united states was represented by its deputy ambassador i thought it useful to share with you. from the current horrors of us to approach to these really old and in conflict what he said was important for the 1st time in 4 years the u.s. is calling for direct talks to lead to a 2 state solution because you were previously absorbed that russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov added to this proposing an international conference or ministerial meeting this summer one of the newest members of the security council is norway which is had a historic role brokering the oslo accords over

a quarter of a century ago the foreign minister told me there was only one way will be progress there has to be a will by both parties they have to assume responsibility for pushing the talks forward the security council norway and others we can assist we can do everything we can to lay the foundation for talks but the parties themselves has to step up it's worth noting that the israeli ambassador said in the meeting that the idea of an international conference was pointless and a distraction and further complicating things both israelis and palestinians but you'd have elections in the coming months however some diplomats say that could be a good thing for the shaking up the dynamics surrounding this long running conflict james out 0 at the united nations. farmers in india have resumed their protest against new agriculture laws near the capital new delhi police say they have detained 200 people a day after violence during farmers' protests in the city thousands of pharma

farming methods and create green jobs stephen fisher is a co author of the report and also an associate professor of political sociology at the university of oxford he says the survey threw up many surprises. the most surprising and perhaps important finding for me is that of all the 18 different climate policies we asked about people were willing to pick as many as 8 on average and that number went up to 10 in some of the high income high education countries and even as high as 12 in in a few countries even those who didn't think that climate change was a global emergency who don't use that term still they want climate action still they pick 6 that's a 3rd of the 18 policies we asked about and those policies are over wide variety of different things nature energy the economy transport farms and food protecting

people and one of the top 4 policies is investing in green industry and jobs and that's going to be particularly important as countries start thinking about economic recovery plans and wanting to make those environmentally friendly and this survey shows that there's demand right across the globe to make this postcode recovery a and environmentally friendly one. forest fires logging and land clearance are creating an environmental crisis in australia according to new evidence the country's leaders are now under pressure to come up with fresh policies to protect biodiversity nicholas cage reports from south broome and state forests in new south wales. straightly is bush land is still recovering from the black some of fires that ripped through the land a year ago blackening 35000000 and killing or displacing nearly 3000000000
