the u.k.'s vaccine minister says there's roughly $4000.00 variants of the virus around the world scientists at oxford university in the u.k. are looking at how they can improve their jabs they've started the trial to see if it's possible to mix doses between pfizer and astra zeneca vaccines not in barbour is standing by at a hospital in london for us to tell us more about the banks in trials in the u.k. 1st to dorset jabari in tehran with our 1st consignment of vaccines has just landed so dosser when do they start using it. well we believe they will be rolled out as soon as possible and of course the prove people who will receive it 1st will be health care workers and front line workers in the country we have heard from officials who said that this is a very welcome news that the 1st shipment has finally landed in the country after months of attempts by iran to secure vaccines from various sources of course the

iranian officials had said they would not purchase any vaccines made in the us or britain but they did end up purchasing $18000000.00 doses in total from countries such as china india and russia and we've just seen the 1st batch arrived in the country a few hours ago let's take a closer look at where things stand now in the country's fight against this pandemic this aircraft brought the 1st sign of good news for millions of iranians since the start of the pandemic usually a year ago. the russian sputnik vaccines are the 1st batch to arrive and there are 2 more shipments coming later this month these jobs will be given to 430000 health care workers before anyone else and iran has so far purchased 2000000 doses of the russian vaccine. russia sputnik visa because he is 91 to 93 percent considering that the sputnik is designed well in its 2nd doses

a stronger than the 1st doses we expect 91 to 92 percent efficacy in our country more importantly the sputnik. in very serious cases of the disease 100 percent. iran is the worst affected country in the middle east with nearly 60000 covered 1000 deaths a more than 1400000 people infected the shipment comes at a critical time when the country is trying to avoid another wave ahead of the rainy new year in mid march that's a time when families visit each other in large numbers president has not rouhani has warned iran cannot afford another lockdown and he's urging the public to continue to observe protocols set out by health officials. iranian scientists have also been working on their own vaccine 2 of which are now in human trial phases and officials are hopeful they will be rolled out in the next few months despite severe economic sanctions on iran's banking sectors officials say they have purchased

18000000 doses of foreign vaccines but not those made in the us or britain supreme leader ayatollah ali khamenei has banned the import of vaccines made in those countries saying they cannot be trusted. on thursday iran recorded 67 deaths that's the lowest number in the past 8 months but there's still a long way to go before the officials here are able to vaccinate a large number of people they are hoping that they will be able to do that by the beginning of next year 2022 and that's when they hope there will be some relief for the millions of iranians that have been affected by this pandemic thanks very much dorsett about it reporting live from tehran not in barbara joins us live here on the news from some thomas' hospital in london so they're going to try mixing different vaccines how do they know if it works.

to be honest they don't know as yet so i mean it's actually guys hospital in london where they're already vaccinating some of the local population but the government are now saying that they're going to work with oxford university in a world 1st trial they want over 800 volunteers ages more than 50 people who haven't had a job and they're going to give them a 1st dose of either the oxford astra zeneca that's an asian or the pfizer beyond tech vaccination and then they'll get a 2nd one within 12 weeks but could be the same or it could be an alternative vaccination so they want to find out whether protection is actually worse the same or even better if you get a mixture of vaccines saying the other vaccines could be involved such as the norovirus and the young vaccines once they're approved as well on the scientists in this study are hoping that it could give them clues as to how to fight better

against those variants as well which of emerging not just here but in south africa or in brazil. but this plan won't have a negative impact on the vaccine rollout in the u.k. anyway which is going 'd really quite well especially compared to some other european countries. but it's a fair point peter britain really is being seen as an example by many countries in europe it's got it more than 11000000 people i think vaccinated as of now. on plan to get the 1st 4 priority groups done with the 1st dose by the middle of the month but now deems the whole we the government minister for vaccines has said that there are globally $4000.00 roughly variants of the virus and for that reason scientists here are putting together what he's called a library of these mutations so that they can be ready to react to any developments

in future he pointed out that people like pfizer beyond take are already trying to adapt existing vaccines to be ready to adapt to any mutations he's also warned that he's worried that although 85 percent of the population here say they will get the vaccine the rest the 15 percent is skewed towards people who are in the so-called boehm community black and minority ethnic groups and the worrying figure at the moment is that people in britain who are either black british or african nationality say are twice as unlikely twice less likely to have received a job so far compared to the white british population so nadine's are we says that the government is going to try to get figures from the national health service on ethnicity and try to get into local communities to really improve that situation

not in thanks very much for their reporting live from guys hospital in london. and later on here on the news we'll speak to a senior clinical research on the vaccine trial at oxford university to find out more about for you the 1st mask of 19 banks nation campaign in south america is underway in chile on weapons day more than 210000 people received their 1st dose many of them over the age of 90 latin america editor was in human has that story from the chilean capital santiago. it's been 5 decades since for you know sanchez last set foot in a sports stadium she's just celebrated her 90th birthday making her eligible to be among the 1st to be vaccinated against cold 19 in what is actually a football pitch and it's been set up as an enormous clinic to inoculate tens of thousands of elderly people in this working class municipality of santiago here roughly where the i was very impatient to be inoculated 97 year old lisa says she

thinks the vaccine may lengthen her life a bit more and. this is the 1st mass inoculation against covert 19 in one of the regions hardest hit by the pandemic some used wheelchairs others canes while others sprinted in and out confident that soon they'll be able to end long months of isolation. by the end of february some 5000000 of the most vulnerable senior citizens and health workers should be inoculated followed by millions more but how did chile manage to secure so many doses. in april and may on the president's orders be signed the 1st contract assisted by specialized legal experts because buying such large quantities of back seen is uncommon and complex. another advantage is that chile has been able to pay for these vaccines up front unlike many of its neighbors who have had to wait for the last 6 pence of ones that are

being distributed by the u.n. kovacs. program the 1st ones being used in this country are from china's sin of x. laboratory for mass inoculation of the general population and that's because they don't need special refrigeration and or is it to distribute weight on the plans to inoculate 70 percent of the population by the end of june an ambitious goal. 92 year old to donya who yeah is the last of her 3 sisters waiting to be vaccinated today particular number from the further we thought we were so heart until this invisible bug showed us they feel humans are not gods. and with that she went in for her jab defying the virus and vowing to make the best of the years she has left you see in human al-jazeera sent. brazil's health agency has ditched phase 3 trials to speed up vaccine approvals the chinese made sign of vaccines already being used

are reports of more arrests in me and as protests against the military coup on monday gathered pace social media is being restricted including access to facebook and the u.n. has spoken out sharply against the move away from democracy son suchi and the deposed president both face charges and if convicted they would be able to work in politics again big reports. small protests in the 2nd largest city in the un ma the students and activists in mandalay are speaking out against monday's military coup but with the military campaign down on internet and social media provide as it's hard for people to communicate and organize protests yet don't have the we have no access to any news no news about mother on song suchi i feel so sad it gives me a pain in my chest i would rather go out and fight if possible but that would be

against the wishes of mother sue facebook is a central part of life in myanmar its white the military has shut it down seems as if the military is really going after the driver he social media platforms including facebook which really is the internet in myanmar most people including people within government agencies use facebook almost as if it was an email system so it will be. terrible in terms of its consequences not only in terms of organizing a response to this coup but also in terms of conducting data. day business and economic activity but that didn't stop these health workers walking out of a hospital to protest against the coup according to their facebook groups similar walkouts happened at hospitals across the country have was we are just protesting peacefully by wearing this red ribbon we don't need to speak out we all know that playing the ribbon is a sign of protest against the military government and the only want our elected government this is a message many people have likely not seen such

a military presence on their streets since the 2011 democratic reforms. despite their apparent anger at the social media ban and the international condemnation of the coup the generals who have fast business interests in the country are not going anywhere many people in myanmar may be troubled by the military intervention but minorities in the country have long been victims of the army's crackdown hundreds of thousands of muslim rango were forced to flee persecution deposed leader aung sun suu she was largely silent about their plight now finds herself at the mercy of the very same generals i said big al jazeera well in the capital naypyidaw there's been a rally in support of the military coup was carried the flag of the armed forces and pictures of men on the plane was the man who is now in charge. of. crowds in neighboring thailand who held a protest against the cool in myanmar on their way of posters of the ousted leader

aung sun suu cheat island is home to the biggest population of migrant workers from me and mark. international criminal court in the hague has found a ugandan militia leader dominic on went guilty of war crimes after a 4 year trial but this was unlike any other trial of this kind because of how long when rose to his position he was part of the lord's resistance army but he was himself abducted by the armed group at the age of 10 and forced into becoming a child soldier even so the court found him guilty of ordering the killings of civilians and abducted children and declared he did not do so under any tourists the chamber's therefore convicted only going over total of $61.00 crimes compromising both crimes against humanity and war crimes to try to sum up in a few words the lengthy and technical verdict rendered by the chamber the only going has been found guilty beyond reasonable doubt of

a number of crimes committed in the context of the 4 specified attacks on the i.d.p. camps of. dick codey and book attacks against the civilian population murder attempted murder torture and slave meant outrages upon personal dignity pillaging destruction of property and persecution. steverson was following the trial she reports from outside the courtroom in the hague. well he's been found guilty on 61 of the 70 accounts so you could say there is not much levy and see here from the judge's side the main question of course on the table here for the dart. is there's a victim or a perpetrator or is the something in between well the charges were very clear about it he is a perpetrator he was fully responsible he was morally mentally able he was aware of

what he was doing he could have escaped and he didn't so also very clear and strong ferdi that actually shocked the defense ice just spoke to the lawyer he said he called it a bombshell verdict he said it wasn't fair because the whole victim side of he was 9 years old the judges have now established age because there was a lot of discussion about how old he was when he was abducted the charges say he was 9 years old he had a whole period 6 years long before he was officially 50 years old you can become a child a soldier officially in uganda so you had this whole traumatic past but another thing that the lawyer pointed out was that he said to corpus very european centric not going into the details of a spiritual belief and according to him almost very much on the disposal of spirits and he really believed in the so-called 10 commandments of joseph koni so in that sense according to the lawyer he could not be held accountable but that's not

something that the judges had gone into at least not in the summary of his conviction. ok staying in europe the u.k. government today revoked the license of china's state run t.v. channel c g t n the office of communications made the announcement on thursday it says an investigation phone c g t s license was wrongfully held by star china media china's foreign ministry says it reserves the right to take measures against the u.k.'s public broadcaster which of course broadcast internationally the b.b.c. let's go live now to our correspondent following that story rory chalons so a license being wrongfully held by a parent company what's the issue there or. so . we found that there were 2 issues with c.t. n. the 1st stand as you outlined there is this the organization that held the license for cdn wasn't the same organization that was calling the editorial shots. of comms

rules and regs that makes isn't unlawful licensee basically. it an individual entity to hold a license needs to be the one that is actually deciding what goes on air what stories are put in the editorial rundown except truck and because it wasn't that case with c.t.m. that was the 1st point of complaint from off comm c.d.n. when they were confronted with this said it were ok what we're going to do to comply is to move the license into our name and therefore be in accordance with the regulations and that was where confound the 2nd issue which was that another one of the regulations is that you cannot have a broadcaster run by a political body and what they decided was that c.d.t. n. was by c.c.t.v. and c.c.t.v.

is controlled by the communist party of china therefore fall in front of that regulation so they've said essentially that c.t.m. has had numerous chances and lots of time to come into accordance with these rules but it hasn't done so and therefore it's taking that license away now this license removal does not mean that c.d.n. has to shut up shop in the u.k. because it has its main european broadcast hub in london but it does mean they're going forwards c.d.t. and will not be on british t.v. screens and i bet we could win a wager if we put some money on the likelihood that the b.b.c.'s broadcasts in china the b.b.c. world their international television news channel or b.b.c. world service radio the airwaves will go quiet spasmodically because the chinese will do what they've done before which is basically block the signal. but

there might well be some sort of pushback and the foreign ministry in china. in the in the minutes after the regulation basically said that it was sternly admonishing the b.b.c. for what it called its fake news coverage of the 90 in crisis and maybe that's a warning shots across the bows of things that might be coming down the track yeah i mean this is certainly not the. new state of affairs for foreign media in china and also relations between china and the u.k. which have been going down the drain for a matter of many many months now you have several points of contention you've got a hallway that tiny chinese czech tech giant which was basically blocks from taking control of parts of britain's 5 g.

network you've got arguments over the the week of camps engine chang except for so things are not well in china relations and getting worse rory thanks very much challenge their reporting for the news hour. a belgian court has convicted an iranian diplomat for attempted terrorism and sentenced him to 20 years in prison as a dollar was found guilty of plotting to bomb an opposition rally outside paris and $2803.00 of his accomplices julie iranian belgians were also given jail terms and were stripped of their belgian citizenship it's the 1st time any new state has charged an iranian official with terror related offenses iran has strongly condemned the decision. the u.s. government is warning violent right wing groups may be emboldened by the riot at the capitol building in early january the department of homeland security says there could be further attacks and there are concerns that conspiracy theories are

continuing to fuel hate rob reynolds now from los angeles on deep web message boards and social media many conspiracy theorists are expressing dismay and disappointment following president joe biden's inauguration last month where it's just believed that somehow trump was going to come out victorious and that there would be all these kind of democratic for years sort of put on trial at harrod's of the conspiracy theory q and on some of who were involved in the riot at the u.s. capitol on january 6th believe leading democratic politicians are part of a global couple of pedophile cannibals some of them have now rejected that bizarre belief system but some are gravitating to more militant groups so the big wild card and i think we're looking at the united states is not whether we have an insurgency. but how fast and how hot it will run i will say that the rhetoric

among friends soon as is i don't think it's ever been hotter than it. is long as i've been covering the racism anti-semitism and hatred of so-called elite deep roots in american society and culture scholars say that's not going to disappear the hardest edges of that movement are going to be around we have an insurgency and the issue is who is going to lead this insurgency what are the leaders an ideological pinnings of this insurgency going to be the continue round grieve the republican party that enabled trump for years has seen an influx of hard core conspiracy theorists for example the newly elected republican congresswoman marjorie taylor green is a firm believer in the q a non-fantasy so many americans are blind and when they hear these stories about pedophiles and they hear the stories about satanic worship they don't want to believe it straight they just don't another possibility is far right and conspiracy

groups may split with republicans and form their own party and if we see some kind of breakaway political party or some kind of charismatic elegiac were other type of leader that will supercharge the rest what seems almost certain is that the threat of right wing political violence whether perpetrated by so-called lone wolves targeting minorities or more organized plots against the government and its officials will be a feature of the american political landscape for some time to come robert oulds al jazeera los angeles. a long time activist and fierce critic of the lebanese political party has bola has been shot dead his death has provoked a public outcry but has been no claim of responsibility zain holder reports. killed by 4 bullets to the head and one in his back look months liam was found dead in his

killings and its supporters have come to its defense bar over in the uk most look man was against hezbollah syria and iran but it doesn't mean fingers should be pointed at them they could be someone trying to pin it on them. for many the killing was a message this is going to scare anybody. going to criticize or thinks about criticizing his ally going to kill her. because of who look man was the most this in the world below and then look man hailed from the same sect as hezbollah shia islam he lived in the group stronghold and was killed in the group's heartland. for more than a year anti-establishment protesters have been demonstrating to bring about a change in leadership and for the 1st time those protests spread into strongholds of the mainly sectarian political parties including hezbollah which was accused of protecting the system many blamed for running the economy into the ground.

investigators are hoping the lengthy process will bring enough evidence to prosecute eyesore suspects. it has been 7 years since these massacres took place in 2014 it has been 6 years since iraqi security forces with the support of the u.s. led coalition pushed out of synch jarl it has been over 3 years since the secure u.n. security council passed a resolution setting up an investigative body to exuma those mass graves now of course in jar is an extremely complicated region there is a lot of political tensions there are a lot of armed groups which have prevented to some extent speedier exhumation and of course the process is also very complicated also from a technical perspective the un along with the iraqi government had to collect d.n.a. samples from the survivors to be able to identify the victims and of course many of

these survivors have emigrated abroad so it was difficult to track them down to collect the samples and then the excavation itself is a very complicated process it's a very technical process for the mass graves are scanned using 3 d. scanners to really document decides which are not just mass graves but crime scenes and the evidence gathered from these crime scenes should eventually be used to try to prosecute eisel suspects. hundreds of thousands of years edis are still displaced more than 5 years since the region was taken back from eisel they are one of the largest religious minorities in iraq an estimated 500000 live in the country before eisel swept through the vast majority are in northern iraq in and around as we were hearing there the district of sin john communities are also scattered across the northwest of syria and the southeast of turkey the easy faith goes back to mesopotamia and combines elements of several ancient religions eisel deem them

have been in the refugee camps they are in kuwait there are looking at justice and . told. their government in fact that was some hole some for justice and justice if the feeling. does the iraqi government conducting or holding funerals for victims of this religious minority slash religious persecution is that enough to make people feel the basics of feeling safe you know whatever you do you cannot bring the lost or family members children woman or man but the government can give hope for better future so it can happen to reparation to it but that is it is ken said refugee camps where i'm working and more sense for a 100000. syrian refugee camps i'm not able to go back to and the hope

went. supports arab aeration city needs nation as a minority as they did minority in iraq and focused on this also important to work up the nation and get the respect of it so it's a genocide has happened that means they will accept separate entity or. what is not happened since eternity yes you're talking about 300000 people in refugee camps very difficult given the history of this region to get believable figures i mean some figures talk about 70000 other figures sets of figures talk about 500000 years edis who are still basically in the same region covering 2 or 3 different countries but you seem to be saying as well that the years edis have gone through is so deep

so profound it it almost changes an entire people not just individuals behaviorally but an entire subset subculture of a broader region a bigger country. just give you an example people said say tom that yes he is it is based more than 72 genocide must across more than 1000000 200000 is it the square since it's 800 until 20141000000 800000 is it is what forced to convert to islam just give you an example in turkey the main center historically the main center. in turkey no we had just 576 years it is just remaining remain in turkey this can happen also in iraq if the iraqi government at the criticized government is not serious interested to support him we are talking about that trance generation trauma which is possum one generation to the next generation

says since 800 years this is that the end and the point that something should be happen otherwise you will last see is it is from this planet john king has sailed on it's an important story that needs to be told thank you so much for coming on to the news hour and helping us to understand it thank you peter. nearly half of afghanistan's population suffers from hunger on a daily basis that's according to the united nations decades of war and rampant corruption of crippled the economy a recent wave of targeted killings as well as the pandemic has added another layer to the misery of afghans here's some a binge of 8. everyone needs a trim but even then malik's business is suffering in addition to not having the money afghans are also scared to venture out of their homes the young entrepreneurs modest business was robbed but no one has been held accountable. i am very scared where used to stay open until 10 pm on now we close our own 7 scared because it is not safe at all. yet and that the rise in violence has dwindled hopes for

peace despite talks between the government and. all sides seem to be biding their time as the by the administration decides its afghan policy in recent weeks judges journalists and members of the civil society have been targeted. by the perpetual cycle i said responsibility for attacks you have done government holds the taliban responsible which denies attacking civilians. terrorist organizations especially the taleban or their specified targets in attacks try their best to create a gap between people in the security forces and also the government but they don't succeed in all their agendas. that blame game and a failure to protect civilians whether from a pandemic or rising attacks is also taking a social and psychological toll. of more many of our loved ones the youth women men and children are terrified all the time they anticipate an explosion when they feel

increase immune responses that also be evaluating how important the timing is between different doses some people taking part in the study will get the 2nd shot after a month others after 3 months earlier we spoke to dr sami a senior clinical research on the trial at oxford university. we have been given to terraces of the same vaccines that the m.r. kneedler scenes or the book said fire that to back seems safe interactive but what we want to look at is whether given different back scenes here her 1st and 2nd work just as well using different types of scenes has been used in trials before and we haven't used them are in a back scenes with other sorts of vaccines in the past and what we're wanting to do is seeing whether these approved vaccines can be used safely and effectively in combination schedules the flexibility of using 2 different vaccines means that on an individual level level it will be much simpler to deliver

a vaccine to 2 and 2 to one person so if you turn up at your g.p. surgery you have one vaccine and then you come back to have a 2nd vaccine a bit later if that's a different vaccine that's not a problem but we need to have to gather the data to show that and that also works on a on a why disco era nationally and globally because different vaccines will be approved at different stages and at different times and there might be e.g. a vaccine supply livery to different the sibling able to mix and match different vaccines with huge team. speed up and make more efficient a plan to vaccinate as many people as quickly as possible there is also the intriguing possibility that by using 2 different backs and platforms we might have a more robust or effective immune response we don't know that but we will be studying that in detail with all of our participants were also looking at different dose intervals a half of our participants would have the 1st and 2nd dose 4 weeks apart and the

other half will have their vaccines at the festive 2nd vaccines 12 weeks apart and so we're hoping to report the preliminary data from our 1st batch to from the bits with the full interval in around early may and possibly jane and with the turkey can develop we'll be looking at around july august time and then of course there is the ongoing data collection not only for safety but also you're looking at longevity of ability we need sponsors how long do they last. now when we come back sorrows here with all the very latest international sports news to stay with us here on al-jazeera.

seeing all over the world now with the complexities of the australian open tennis where the place that's corn say around 14 days out of that sort of it's and of course the big one coming up on the horizon the tokyo olympics and the international olympic committee and local organizers insisting it will still take place this year all be it with some big restrictions in place obviously everyone here is getting ready for the world cup in 2022 that's why this tournament is taking place there is a warm up to that. people involved in this world cup really hopeful that we will be in some sort of post pandemic environment by november 2022 but having to prepare for every eventuality well and as you said the all eyes are on this to see how it's going to work out for the world cup but and if he's the bubble is the key word to him how is the match at the moment that's happening right now. you know just as we came out to do this live from mexico look to be going through 21 they will go through

a semifinal against polaris of brazil. the tournament itself affected by covert was meant to be a 17 sort of it's involving all consider the o.c. on representatives they had to pull out because of the covert covert quarantine restrictions in their own country it means i'll do hail the cats are champions went straight through to the 2nd round they'll play lastly of egypt. the 2nd round. one of the best supported seems in the world and selling one of the best support it seems in the middle east and north africa they will be some some fans at that game and then global interest in this tournament really kicks off in the semifinal stage when palmeiras joined also by munich of the european champions as well we're seeing that since 2005 this tournament has been hosted either in asia or africa but it's never been won by it see outside of south america or europe so the to win is will be desperate situations that's this year. and the updates from you later is all
