months china has announced a plan to provide 10000000 coronavirus vaccine doses while india's serum institute has agreed to supply 1100000000 doses of the astra zeneca another vax vaccines to be delivered of a several year ends today we are pleased to announce the conclusion of a long term supply agreement with the serum institute of india for the coke 19 vaccines to access to vaccine products through technology transfer from astra zeneca and nova vax unicef along with our procurement partners including power hope will have access to up to 1100000000 doses of vaccines for around 100 countries for approximately $3.00 a dose for the low end lower middle income country. well it's hoped the kovacs will deliver more than 35000000 doses of the astra zeneca vaccine to the caribbean and

latin america by july chile is one of the 1st countries in the region to launch a vaccination program it's just started to inoculate older adults and essential workers our latin america editor lucien human visited a vaccination center in santiago although it doesn't look like it i'm actually standing on a football pitch in a large soccer stadium in santiago in one of the working class neighborhoods which has been turned into a clinic as you can see people are being vaccinated on the 1st day of a mass inoculation campaign which begins with people 90 years and older let me tell you there are a lot of them people are coming in wheelchairs they're coming with care they're using canes some of them sprinting in and sprinting out very healthy indeed there are a lot of people of that age and so of course they're beginning with the most vulnerable age group and then work work their way down this is a plan that the chilean government implemented and promised the people that it

would happen as early as possible and actually it is the chile is now the 1st latin american country to start mass inoculation until now that had only been the evacuation of medical personnel nurses and medical students but this is actually quite something and the same thing is happening all over the country simultaneously 5000000 people will have been in ocular aided by the end of february and more will do the same in march and in the following months elsewhere pakistan has also started vaccinating its frontline health workers with plans to inoculate most of its high risk population by the end of the year countries administering 500000 doses of the sign of farm vaccine another 1000000 doses are expected to be delivered by the end of the month because don has recorded more than half a 1000000 covered 1000 cases but limited testing means the real number could actually be much higher. well the world health organization has listed lebanon

as being in the highest risk stages of the corona virus pandemic right now a further of all cases identified there have been detected in the past month alone and even though there's a lot down in place the soaring number of cases has left the country desperately short of medical supplies so in harder reports. the calls are endless every single day of the week at whatever time day or night melissa fatah runs a non-governmental organization that has redirected its resources to providing oxygen supply to coronavirus patients at home there is what doctors call an uncontrolled pandemic in lebanon. i had a gentleman call me at 1130 at night on saturday crying on the phone because of his father and i had to you know explain to him i physically do not have a machine right now please wait until we get a machine and he's like my father can't wait there is a shortage of machines to provide patients with oxygen leading to more appeals on social media for help we have

a lot of patients. less and less being admitted to hospital because this is. the red cross has been at the front line of this battle. volunteers have transported more than 5000 patients to hospitals in the past few weeks 4 times more than last year and there are many more on a waiting list. so the 1st. big number of critical patients. some hospitals are using shipping containers to treat patients in the parking lot while others have suspended non emergency treatment. health experts registered one of the world's worst. memory for the size of its population which is close to $7000000.00 including one and a half 1000000. more than 100000 cases were detected in the past months that's one

3rd of all cases identified in the past year. many countries have dealt with beds shortages and the need to prioritize care but lebanon's health sector was already weak from years of neglect and a collapsing economy high number of cases for sure let. all that is that we have to look at me with the thought that it's. would we have nipped it in move ever to. give a patient more than living but if we continue like i think forward that it's. a 3 week 24 hour curfew has brought numbers down but it's not enough and the daily worry of not being able to find a place in hospital or get access to oxygen supplies hasn't gone away. beirut or inspectors from the world health organization a visit at the variety institute and one han chinese city where the coronavirus was 1st identified the team is investigating the origins of kind of

field work has been highly stage managed since many countries have pointed blame at china accusing them of not being transparent now china's foreign ministry have rejected those criticisms and indeed members of the team who have spoken to the media since the field work has began say that the trip is going quite positively they're happy with what they've seen so far they've been taken to a number of sites including some of the 1st hospitals which housed some of those 1st corinna virus patients they've also seen the meat and seafood market where the 1st cluster of cover 19 was identified and they said that they are seeing doctor and information previously on revealed and that they do feel that they are making some headway in their investigations to finding out the origin of this pandemic. and watching out as they are live from london still ahead on the program we'll look at mexico's border massacre 12 police officers arrested over the murder of a group of migrants and the man dubbed super mario for saving the euro is tasked

victoria tasmania sing some heavy rain and we'll see that rain just pushing stretching all the way off into where western parts of queensland and notice another circulation just bring up in the gulf of carpentaria by this stage there's that wet weather now making its way across the southern parts of w.i. pushing down towards perth for the weekend so that will bring some heavy downpours in here as we go on through saturday and sunday meanwhile this snow causing problems across japan over the next couple of days more wintry weather fading in across the whole machine and hokkaido making its way east. as information on the government's response is to covert 19 across the world images so too as a deeply disturbing question. people in power investigates allegations of systemic discrimination against a pandemic disabled victims and asks has there been

a shameful failure to protect some of the world's most vulnerable citizens. disabled victims one on a just you know. the or the earth or the earth. welcome back main stories this hour police in riyadh mara filed criminal charges against alstad leader unsung suchi following her detention during a military coup early on monday she's charged with possessing illegally imported walkie talkies which police said were found in a search of her home. the scheme established to ensure poor countries get equal access to corona virus vaccines is really has released its distribution plans

kovacs says it secured 330000000 doses to be distributed in the 1st half of this year and then inspectors from the world health organization a visit of the visit of the veronica institute and will harm the chinese city where the corona virus was 1st identified the team is investigating the origins of covert 19. when our us house republicans a carny discussing potential action against 2 of their congresswoman in a closed door meeting that could point to the future direction of the party marjorie taylor green has drawn heavy criticism for promoting right wing conspiracy theories including the suggestion that school shootings were faked in advocating violence against democrats and senior congresswoman liz cheney has been accused of disloyalty for voting to impeach former president donald trump and alan fischer joins us from the white house now has been some movement on that with republicans

defending marjorie taylor green. like kevin mccarthy has the leader of the republicans in the congress in the house has been saying he's spoken to margery taylor green and made the point to hire that awards know have a lot more import of course a lot of these comments were made before she became a congresswoman and she ran saying that she embraced the ideas of cure norn which of course are wild conspiracy theories among them that things like the parkland shooter were staged by actors and more recently of course we've had she believes that the wildfires in california last summer work caused by a giant space laser that were run by jewish bankers yes you had that correctly so now he's essentially saying that he's not going to be forced into taking action against her by the democrats that he's spoken to the democrats try to get them to kill the temperature around some of our rhetoric but the democrats are going to push ahead with a floor vote on thursday to remove her from a number of committee assignments their publicans aren't quite sure how to handle

her 1st of all because what she said protected under free speech but she said them before she became a congresswoman but they're also aware that by embracing cura nor in the conspiracy theories around there and some of the things she said she tars a huge part of the party and saw the are not very keen on that being used as the stick to beat them with all the way to 2022 particularly if she comes out and says something again between 0 and the elections for the house in 2022 the midterms yeah we're already talking about them yes we are get used to it the other thing is that she supported by donald trump she to call with him at the weekend he says he gave her her support and also donald trump hasn't stepped away from the queue and on t.v. so there's that question about the republicans dealing with all of this and then there's a list cheney who voted to impeach donald trump because she believes that he was primarily responsible for the scenes that we saw. on capitol hill on the 6th of

january so what's that 3 weeks ago from today 4 weeks ago from today something like that. says that yeah it was a vote of conscience it wasn't a party line vote she wasn't responsible but there are those in the republican party you see that as disloyal to donald trump who was then the leader of the republicans and they want her disciplined interestingly enough one of the people leading the campaign to kick her out of her leadership position because she's the number 3 republican in the house is jim jordan or higher congressman big supporter of donald trump someone who in the last couple of hours and over the last few weeks has been talking about council culture and how it's awful in fact in an interview just a couple of hours ago he said it is the watch thing facing america at the moment clearly forgetting the covert crisis but he would like to see her replaced although he's given to the caucus to decide what they do with her but you're right this all boils down to how far does the republican party as it's currently constituted on

capitol hill want to embrace donald trump want to embrace cure no one want to have that stick that democrats can use to beat them over the next few weeks next few months next couple of years and so we should find out clearly what is going to happen but don't expect the republicans to take any action against marjorie green action against cheney that's still a possibility. thank you all right thanks very much allan fisher at the white house . 12 police officers have been arrested and charged in mexico in connection with the deaths of 19 people close to the border with the united states there charred bodies were found last week in the back of 2 burned out trucks at least 2 of them were quite a modern migrants trying to reach the last john heilemann reports now from mexico city in a warning that you might find images in his report disturbing. you know that's something that is going to go

a bombshell in mexico tuesday night the killing and burning of 19 people among them guatemalan migrants was perpetrated by police said authorities in time a leap to state. at least 12 members of the state police took part in the events of the 22nd of january this theory gained traction because the crime scene was altered there's an absence of shells and bullets the police also contradicted themselves in their report of the crime and interviews with officers. the suspects are now under arrest that would be much of a consolation to bring the parents backing guatemala who suspected her brother was among the victims even before the news of the alleged police involvement broke. down and. the truth is that everyone was there from our community they all went on that trip said the relatives have told us that they died and that's how we knew that he was one of them. this keeps happening not just the kidnapping killing an

explosion of central american migrants heading through mexico most notoriously when 72 were massacred in 2010 again entirely post but also the involvement of mit's completes in atrocities. in 2014 and get it over they helped to gang disappear 43 students. experts say 2 to a lack of transparency and basic working conditions for local police forces 1st of all ok it's terrible in many cases in most cases will lead us now social security to health care which is graver in the current situation and the other thing is that many times the basic human rights are not being respected so at the 1st abusers in this whole chain of human rights abuses are the commanders that train on their own order to do their bidding sort of carry out violent acts for them criminal acts for them where. first and spread transparency it must hold commanders accountable. but

this administration hasn't focused on police reform instead they've created a super security force called the national guard rather than concentrating on the existing problems in the country's many police forces critics say that's like putting a band-aid on a knife wound and all kinds of mean well not just makes concern but those traveling through the country have been reminded once again that they can't fully trust those who should be protecting them john home an al-jazeera mexico city. a man nicknamed super mario for saving the euro is accepted a mandate to form a new italian government after the previous coalition collapsed mario draghi was head of the european central bank during the euro zone financial crisis and if he succeeds in forming a government in faces a new challenge of steering italy out of its economic and health crises stephanie decker has more now from rome. right on time mario draghi allies of the presidential palace for his meeting with president sergey. but the teletypes the

former head of the european central bank with forming a government that accepted it on the condition the 1st he had to parliament to ensure a majority and only then he'll give his final response and we're going to feature it's a difficult moment the president mentioned the dramatic health crisis with its great effect on the lives of the people on the economy and society i'm aware of the emergency requires responses that measure up to the situation at hand and it's with this hope and with this commitment for to respond positively to be a pail of the president defeating the pandemic completing the vaccination campaign responding to the daily problems of the citizens relaunching the country of the challenges we face it marks a new phase after weeks of political posturing that was prompted by former prime minister might there enzi pulling his ministers out of government for what he says were disagreements over how to spend more than $200000000000.00 in the e.u.

recovery funds with a pandemic and a serious economic crisis many italians feel it wasn't the time to play politics but are. there many other course renzi is completely responsible for all of this but i think at this point it's better to have a druggie government than elections because he's a very competent person one of the best in europe. i mean. it would have been better to hold elections but if we can't have elections this is the lesser evil for sure druggy is better than the one before conti. after 2 terms as if a con to former lawyer and twice prime minister is out he simply could not get the numbers he needed with mathilde and his demands all eyes now on mario dragon credited with saving the eurozone in 2012 he comes with decades of top level economic experience and is now on the verge of taking on the top political position in this country he's earned the nickname of super mario and he may well have to draw on that to navigate italy's a fractious politics but more importantly tackle the very difficult economic and

contracts they dictate what the farmers will grow and how much they'll be paid they say local officials are enforcing the agreements and. if i'm not the owner of the land i won't get the revenue and profits they proposed to give me a salary but nothing else is secured for me. the government is divvied up exclusive control of certain territories to certain companies leaving farmers with few options if they don't like the terms who runs these cluster firms is also often unclear as always in the year and it would be good if they leave me on my land so i have the opportunity to run my land myself and used to make should 500 farmers unions have been terminated and moved onto the so-called cluster system it's part of his biggest fans agricultural reform strategy the government hopes it will result in bigger returns for all with more regional development. going our goal is to develop get it district that is why we have introduced a cluster system
