these people worked on 2 hydroelectric power plants in the area and there are fears for around 125 people who are missing from the from the. power plant india's bullshit commission saying that the. that it breached order records that it was flowing at dangerously high levels the deluge of another river the on the river it managed to all hydro power stations which were all the way completely. well they were destroyed so many homes have been destroyed and bridges have also been bridges to be destroyed too which is why rescue helicopters delivering. food rations to people in about 30 villages who have been by what's happened. the coronavirus pandemic now and south african health

authorities are working with international scientists to draw up a new vaccination strategy that's after they suspended the original plan to use the oxford astra zeneca job when trials showed it gives little protection against the highly contagious south african variant of call the $191.00 option being considered as an alternative is rolling out a covert $1000.00 vaccine that's still in the testing phase is in johannesburg and says the government had already come under criticism for its slow vaccine. according to the studies that have been done and we are expecting that full study to be published sometime today 2000 participants were studied with regard to the response to astra zeneca and the government has said that it shows that there is only a 22 percent efficacy rate when trying to prevent mild or moderate covert 19 now this is very damaging for the government given the criticism it's already faced

and even if the government can be forgiven only understanding now that the vaccine is not is as effective as they had hoped the government has also come out to say that the vaccines that receive the $1000000.00 doses last week it's only on a rival that it was a stablished that these vaccines expire in april vaccines take about 6 months they have a 6 month shelf life and already south africa has a difficulty in that it didn't have this information on hand so south africans are certainly very disappointed and there really is an issue of confidence with regard to how the government is managing this vaccine rollout for the time being we know that they've said that they use the information they had on hand they've said that this was the most accessible vaccine at the time and what they'll do now is one of the experts on the panel that's trying to deal with a vaccine rollout has said it would it would be irresponsible to completely discard the astra zeneca vaccine instead they will vaccinate some people at some point but

at the same time continue studies to understand better how to use astra zeneca. or the study and johannesburg university shows 2 doses of the oxford astra zeneca vaccine provides many more protection against miles to moderate infections of the south african variant of cover 19 the study didn't assess advocacy against severe infections where the authors said the findings show efforts should shift from head immunity to protecting people at risk of getting covered the scientists who lead the development of the. astra zeneca vaccine says a study confirms the virus will find ways to spread in vaccinated populations researchers noted work is underway on a 2nd generation of the vaccine that will target new mutations early i spoke to dr helen reese who is a member of south africa's ministerial advisory committee for cold feet in the cold vaccine she explains how health authorities will use this study in their. so this

was a very important study it was a small number of people and it was a young cohort which meant that just in terms of the natural history not many of them were anyway going to get severe disease that means the only thing that it could show was that there is only there's very limited impact on prevention of mild or moderate disease but there were severe cases so the question is could this vaccine still have an impact on severe cases and the other question being asked is can the that seems be tweaked to be responsive to the variance of the answer is yes to that and the 3rd question being asked is can this vaccine be combined with another vaccine so that you have 2 different vaccines that do what we call prime and boost so you stimulate the immune system at 2 different points in time and you do it with slightly different vaccines so there are many questions still to be asked here well at the moment because of the lack of efficacy and it was a south african cohort small as it was it would have been very hard to justify

putting that out to your highest just health care workers in the absence of additional data so we have a meeting today to have of both local and international scientists to ask the question what is the and what is the additional data that we would need to see fortunately we're looking to urgent if you're looking to get hold of other vaccines to other vaccines have been showed to have because the against the variant one is the johnson and johnson vaccine and the other is the novak's and jane just a sizable study in south africa across age groups and was able to show and effectiveness against the barrier but also against severe disease so there are options that have been rapidly sought so the actual rollout is not delayed but it won't be with the the asters anika vaccine. the chinese government is aiming to vaccinate 50000000 people by next week analysts say that's too few scientists are

saying at least 500000000 people need to get the job to reach so called herd immunity against. and the world health organization says is assessing chinese made vaccines for emergency use reports from beijing. every day crowds of workers are being bussed into this beijing museum to receive carpet 19 vaccinations the chinese government aims to vaccinate 15000000 people by the middle of this month. after vaccinating workers will move to ordinary people we asked mate it will take about half a year to finish beijing's population. security guards delivery and transport workers are among those instructed to receive the jobs 2 to 3000 people are not at this beijing vaccinations and every day the chinese government has prioritized certain industries the 1st phase of its mass vaccination rollout and for many of the people who come here it's their employer who has organized that business but

experts say china needs to speed up its vaccination program and a lack of widespread infection means a slower development of herd immunity among the population which may not be achieved at a late 2022. china vaccine a $50000000.00 people by mid february the problem but it doesn't mean much is only one 3rd haze of total population maybe only after $500000000.00 inoculated will see the difference china afford to relax there also is beijing want have enough doses for its 1400000000 population china has promised 10000000 doses to kovacs an international alliance distributing vaccines to developing countries it's also exporting about 400000000000 to countries such as brazil and elysia and donating millions more to allies including pakistan. the discovery of a counterfeit vaccine ring in the southern province of jugs earlier this month has

also undermined confidence in vaccine safety authorities say all fake doses have been tracked down. to. be chinese government attaches great importance to serve god in the security of the vaccines and will continue to crack down on vaccine related crimes the government is also under pressure to roll up vaccines out of the national people's congress the nation's largest leaders gathering in march at the preparations for the 2022 winter olympics beijing has high hopes for the olympics and its vaccines will help improve its international image in the wake of the penn demick. but while questions about china's role the outbreak remain unanswered its borders are still closed and its people await batten to receive a vaccine katrina new al-jazeera beijing. still ahead on al-jazeera u.s. president joe biden is rolling back many of his predecessors policies we hear why

legitimacy of the investigation against him but now you know him self only stayed for about 20 minutes worth of that argument and he did speak in the courts and he didn't say the words not guilty what he said was that he confirmed the written submission of his legal team so essentially it's the same thing that the legal team arguing that the attorney general did not give proper full written approval for all the phases of the investigations in the 3 cases against him judges pushed back a little bit on that and also against the length of time the now legal team was taking to make that argument they also pushed back a little bit against the prosecution when they were defending the investigation against those allegations we heard that the most serious of the 3 cases against him so-called case 4000 in which he's accused of bribery media bribery that will be the 1st of the main evidentiary phase hearings that the witness part of the trial that will be the 1st up and it is in that case you know faces the most serious charges

way to get anywhere the main operative variable right now is the iranian elections and there was a meeting of the national security council on friday about whether or not to try to push for some sort of way agreement on re-entry before or after the june elections in iran because already the iranian parliament and you know campaign conversations are making things more problematic. more than 20 people have been arrested in haiti over an alleged made a dispute over the president stand the opposition says his 5 year term expired on sunday bunch of anomalies says he's got another year as president. reports. on the other day of protests in port au prince opposition supporters continue their calls for the resignation of president should no going back opposite to the way it is you need your support we cannot accept that job now moyes violates the constitution of the country we demand that the constitution be respected. but

haiti and just gathering the strands is that this is actually an attack against the opposition parties kind of an excuse to round up opponents the people who have been arrested are a number of prominent voices and critiquing his regime so to me it seems like the story is a cover for something very different. tensions in haiti remain high as opposition leaders have vowed to continue to put pressure on the movies government and if called for more demonstrations. so money is opposition leaders say they no longer recognize the president mohammed abdul life on my just term has expired but with no agreement on elections to replace them there is mahmoud i do is monitoring developments from nairobi and has a step date today was when the presidential election was supposed to have taken place before about there was a whole process of electing members of the local house of representatives and the
