countries the british government has commissioned studies looking into the long term effects of the virus one in 10 people is suffering from what's been dubbed long cove it with symptoms like breathlessness headaches fatigue and brain fog in the us the death toll is approaching half a 1000000 life expectancy that dropped by a whole year in the 1st half of 2020 and the effect is even more pronounced among minorities with some losing 3 years i was there is how it is in harare and says that there are public concerns around the vaccine rollout. this will go on for about 10 days throughout the country health workers are being vaccinated but most of these people work in public hospitals where they'd complain for many years about the lack of people in glasses some of these nurses and doctors hope they're getting this vaccination to take them again kovac 19 and then you'll

see the police soldiers and immigration staff come to get vaccinated the albanian people with underlying conditions and then the race of the population will follow the government is supposed to get additional $600000.00 vaccines from china those are expected to come into the country early in march they also talking to russia and india about buying more vaccines they also trying to get more back to the country from the kodak realty that's being coordinated by the world health organization and the global a vaccine alliance the aim is to vaccinate 10000000 people about 50 percent of the population by the end of the year on tuesday the government saying that the variant that with didn't identify it in africa is now in the from people i now concerned are asking questions how effective is the fact going to be against that theory and some of them i think if you look at the chinese like the plan a farm and other back on the market will produce you quickly they want to know what

exactly is in these vaccines and would it be anything. or experts from the world health organization spoke a short time ago they say that the longer the virus is allowed to spread the greater risk of mutations. our big message is that we should get on with facts and nation as quickly as possible and at the same time do everything possible to reduce transmission because the more these viruses transmit the more likely they are to have additional mutations occur and more likely to have issues that could emerge that relate to reduced impact of the vaccines the world health organization has appealed to african nations to be on alert for another bowl outbreak vaccinations of warding started in democratic republic of congo and an inoculation campaign is expanding more than $11000.00 doses are due to arrive in

guinea this week are said to be rolled out from monday the health ministry has declared the 1st outbreak since 2016 of least 6 people died beginning its border with liberia countries in the region including sierra leone and by geria stepping up border screenings the last outbreak killed more than 11300 people in guinea senior only sierra leone and liberia between 201320161 of her father is a journalist working in sierra leone that's one of the countries on the world health organizations warning this good to have you with us about this outbreak be contained do you think. that is a concern across the country shows the governments of the left the public have expressed concern that but it doesn't seem like they are worried yet but that if you go deeper into the countries that i'm talking to people that we're sort of that they're worried because of that experience in 2014 i'm traveling 16 to when the

people that came here to come to what's come of it if that were only. 15 but what about the homes that are that many in sierra leone well. i'm sorry you the signal we seem to have lost the signal they will try to get back to mara a little later if we can but for the mother we'll move on politicians in the netherlands are debating new legislation that could extend an overnight coronavirus curfew the lower house of parliament is expected to support the move it would then go to the senate on friday a judge ruled the restrictions have breached people's right to privacy and free movement about was overruled by another calls there were violent protests in january when the restrictions imposed al-jazeera step boston is following developments in amsterdam. well many expect that here to happen but the lawmakers have some very strong words about the government's a big mistake as they call

a day also call it a big mass where the country is landed in because the government has used this wrong legal basis for this curfew and as we know the curfew from the ferry start has been leading to political legal and also security dramas here in the netherlands and has led to the largest riots in 40 years when the curfew was actually impose its 1st curfew since the 2nd world war sort of was a lot of resentment already so many took to the streets in the 1st few nights so as looting there was a lot of destruction fighting with the police and then this week the government got a real big blow because the court in the hague decided that the curfew wasn't legal at all so now they very quickly came up with this emergency law at the moment this is very quickly now being discussed in parliament there's a lot of criticism from lawmakers of course especially. the far right is really

profiting from this mistake but at the end many here expect at the end of the day also tomorrow when the 1st chamber the senate will look at it that there will be approved but there's still also an appeal hearing on friday about this curfew law so at the end maybe we still have a curfew but you can imagine this has led to a lot of confusion here in the netherlands do we have a curfew or don't we have a curfew and also it's seen as an example of the very inconsistent policy the government has had since the beginning of the pandemic. kuipers asked as a man refusing to back down despite fears of a violent crackdown by the ministry thousands of people have joined demonstrations for a 13th straight day calling for the release of deposed leader aung san suu kyi scott hyder reports. rickshaws and trucks join the 2nd day of a civil disobedience campaign with protesters blocking roads by pretending their

kids and it. was 6 years before that in 2013 in a case that made headlines around the world more than 270 goes last snatched from a school teacher book at least 100 are still unaccounted for the armed group claimed responsibility and for years after that in neighboring state the group took more than 100 students from a school and dumped. kidnapping for ransom is no big business in nigeria from the north down to the country's south hundreds of nigerians are kidnapped every week for ransom and despite military offensives against what officials the accord bandits the problem continues to grow on monday 18 personages were seized while travelling in a bus. not far from where the latest kidnapping took place 8 have seized managed to secure their freedom although there are no official statistics it's estimated $20000000.00 was paid in ransom money 2022 kidnappers and this is in

a country africa's largest economy while poverty is on the increase or decrease al-jazeera which are the abduction and the security situation not discussed at length on inside story but you can see that 1730 hours g.m.t. that's a little over 2 hours from now but. still to come nato ministers meet for talks on the future of international forces in afghanistan. arctic blast hits the u.s. millions of people without power and water they could be days before the storm passes. and in sports the head of the english premier league has his say on fans returning to stadiums and he became a task for the rest of the sport a little later. georgia's opposition is calling for snap elections in the wake of the prime

minister's resignation. says that he made the decision following a disagreement with his cabinet over the arrest of opposition leader nick a melia the guardian has been critical of the arrest saying that it will only fuel political tension further. is accused of organizing mass violence and anti-government protests in 2019 his supporters have run it outside his party's headquarters. absolutely. my absolute unshakable position is that it's unacceptable to enforce a measure even a lawful one against one particular person if that person poses a risk to the health and lives of our citizens or creates the possibility of a political escalation in the country especially today when there is political tension and polarization in our country it creates a risk for the development of the state security and future i unfortunately could not come to a common opinion with my team on this issue i made a decision to resign. the fact that the prime minister has stepped down from his

post the fact that he has practically and made it that today bloodshed and violence was planned against the free will of people who were gathered at the office of the national movement and he did not support that is to be respected but this will not help matters the only thing that can defuse the situation is a quick action that should be carried out we demand a meeting of united opposition with the participation of our partners and representatives of the government about only one issue snap elections more from al-jazeera. in tbilisi. it's a pretty surprising move for for a senior politician like the prime minister to resign over the fate of one of his let's say competitors one of his opponents but now that carrier has resigned it seems that there may be more even more hardline 3 people in the georgian government who want to see this issue resolved and who want to see this opposition leader

nicam area arrested so we're expecting other members of of the cabinet to now get together and form a new cabinet and appoint a new prime minister and now will everyone will be waiting to see whether a law this government is prepared to go ahead with its plan to see nick a melia arrested and that's a big concern i think for everybody who's been watching this because this country is already in a political crisis and it has been since elections in october that the opposition said were fraudulent they then decided to boycott parliament. and nick america was among them and he was facing charges for having tried to rush parliament back in 2019 when they were big anti-government demonstrations he's had a parliamentary immunity stripped and last week a court said that he could now be arrested unless he paid his bail

the money that he had to pay to pay for ahead of his trial. but this is being looked upon as a very dangerous escalation for georgian politics no opposition in parliament what looks like a one party state the opposition accusing the government of backsliding on democracy and the idea that the police might go in and take an arrest melia is going to be resisted by the opposition and so the potential for violence and the international community has been calling for both sides to step back from the brink and try to reach some kind of agreement around at the negotiation table maybe. secretary-general is dismissing the possibility of an early withdrawal from afghanistan as defense ministers gather for their 1st summit since u.s. president joe biden took office here in stoltenberg says that forces will only leave when security conditions allow the trumpet ministration brokered a deal with the taliban for a final withdrawal on may 1st nato has nearly 10000 soldiers in afghanistan and

they include 2 and a half 1000 americans who are training at assisting local forces more now from odyssey was warry challenge monitoring developments for us from london sororities this mean that the deal brokered by the trumpet ministration of the taliban is is dead. well it was we're getting a press conference i think from the new u.s. defense secretary and gen sold stoltenberg in a few minutes time who will i think after that have some idea about the way the talks have gone on the 2nd day of the summit but all the information really is pointing towards one direction and that is that this may the 1st deadline for with the withdrawal of troops is going to be pushed back some was how much we don't know yet but we've had a succession of statements and indications from governments the u.s. from the german government from nato itself all of which are saying this

hasty withdrawal of troops from afghanistan is unwise the u.s. head of the armed forces in afghanistan is saying that there's been an uptick in violence and he's putting that responsibility on the taliban and this is not the right frame not the right situation at the right concepts ready for pulling troops out under the terms of the peace deal that donald trump signed with the taliban in february of last year the taliban were required to deescalate violence to disassociate themselves from international terrorist organizations as they put it in the in the peace treaty like al qaeda and this is what's people on the western side of things are saying the taliban hasn't done yet and saying actually that the taliban is escalating violence at the moment so the germans are saying this is not right time to be pulling out nato is saying this is not the right time to be

pulling out of the u.s. military saying this is not the right time to be pulling out so i think the writing is on the wall that we just don't have that decision finally yet our desire is worried chalons live in london for us and he thanks indeed. at least 30 people have died as freezing winter weather sweeps across the united states the sturrock storm has left millions without electricity and covered nearly a 3rd of the country in snow the arctic blast is slowing down the delivery of covert 19 vaccine supplies as force inoculation census to close out said it is our intrepid reporter gabriel others on the forgive me if i slip into dean martin mode but i couldn't resist baby it's cold outside. it is cold outside listen it's here it's winter here in the united states or in much of the united states and it's nose but it's not supposed to snow quite like this and this is not

a winter that we have seen in much of america in many many years listen it's all fun and games in the snow until it starts taking lives and still starts to become an emergency and that's exactly what it's become in the south and midwest of the u.s. particularly the state of texas which has been hit particularly hard there were searing temperatures negative 3 degrees celsius in dallas negative 9 degrees in lubbock texas. we're seeing temperatures negative 10 degrees in oklahoma the state of oklahoma but in texas there are millions of people that were that were are without power many of the water lines have broken and people are being asked to boil their water. people there are shortages of basic things such as groceries and gas in many parts of the state of texas as well they are now going into their 4th day of freezing temperatures and breaking all sorts of records down there and

that storm has been causing all sorts of problems in that storm as you can see where i'm at now in new york city that storm is now coming here but the bottom line is just to give you an example of how much this is affecting things in a puerto rico. if you have the united states a territory the united states they were supposed to start giving their 1st covert vaccinations this week that it's now been pushed to next month because they simply do have supply chain issues getting the vaccinations from the mainland of the u.s. down to the island of puerto rico so there are all sorts of problems but clearly it's most urgent. down in the south particularly in the state of texas which is the 2nd biggest state in the us 29000000 people texas size of france so big important state millions of people there are suffering through this arctic blast

you know the governor of texas. coming out a 5 fold fold the lack of preparedness why was texas so unprepared i mean you don't normally think of texas a winter weather but nonetheless. nonetheless an issue down in texas is this is that texas has its own electrical grid its own power grid it doesn't work off of the u.s. national grid so basically when the power grid goes out in texas there's nowhere else to go to get power that is going to be something that's going to be looked into in the coming days weeks and months for sure but the bottom line is texas is was fully unprepared for this this and they're not used to these cold temperatures down in texas these are temperatures they haven't seen in 304050 even 100 years in some parts of texas but the bottom line is this was a state that was not prepared at all and clearly it's now too late now going into the 4th day of this deep freeze many people in texas right now are calling this

a catastrophe some people are even calling for the national guard to be deployed it's gotten that bad down there but bottom line is they're going to have to look at their power grid because there are 3 power grids in the u.s. but texas said no we don't want to be part of it they built their own power grid and it is clearly failed and now there's nothing else to do to fix it if it's windy rainy snowy icy or cold ok but as all know is always out in it many thanks indeed gaev. i went to stores hit middle eastern countries along the mediterranean disrupting traffic and halting covert 19 vaccinations and heavy snowfall as blanketed parts of the country covering areas that haven't seen snow for many years the snows cut off a number of main mountain roads or a similar conditions in syria and jordan and this was the scene in jerusalem which is from blanketed by its 1st heavy snowfall in 6 years coronavirus facts nations

facebook now tiger woods share of advertising revenue which makes it very difficult for media companies boy the journalists our members need to use human rights watch also condemn the move saying facebook has cut off more than the media they were all strains of the ones caught in the middle here because last this floor is saying that years companies there are a whole range of community organizations have been affected astray or has given google and facebook 2 options strike deals with media companies or have fees sit for them but facebook has decided on a 3rd take away its news feed altogether shallop bellus al-jazeera. a weather update next then on that is i will be in kenya where there's been a dramatic rise in the number of ships abandoned along with their crews trapped on board. we'll take a look at why the u.s.

congress is intervening in the own doing battle between alice investors wall street professionals at in sports we'll hear from a former olympian who's now in charge of taking the term through games in a new direction. it has snowed quite a bit this winter but it snowed yesterday in jerusalem clearly quite easily snowed in the golan heights and cross the border in syria and quite a long way north up into lebanon as well we're not seeing the end of it either but this is reporting the worst in about 15 years quite destructive travel travel wise and surprisingly and the big system is on the wire and so you can see it looks like this and this is a cold front that goes down through the gulf which means ahead of it is quite windy behind it wind direction changes to a northerly and on it will be thunderstorms the focus has been iraq now it's going

to be iran snow of course the mountains here and the following showers are still coming in to anywhere from north in egypt up to lebanon once more jerusalem at max 6 degrees so that still potential for snow showers again up in the golan heights and here's a change that goes through kata so probably says in a early friday sun is still more to the change of wind direction quite possibly with the dusty's or even sand in it and that carries on as the schimmel west temperatures slowly rise in jerusalem now quickly look at the mozambique this is now a named storm circulating out in the water so the western edge is throwing rain heavy rain towards mozambique but i think it will be no worse than that in the immediate future. frank assessments the world is on the brink of a catastrophic moral failure is that a fair assessment if we are catastrophic. to twice valuable x.

8 informed opinions should we be buying bit coy ultimately it will be sovereigns and governments who are buying this that is the direction this is all headed in-depth analysis of the day's global headlines inside story on out just 0. since its inception in 1961 the kuwait fund has been supporting people's livelihoods in over 100 countries by funding projects in an array of sectors. ranging from infrastructure to health and education. these initiatives ultimately help to eradicate poverty. and promote sustainable development.

this is a very unforgiving here in doha with the news out on headlines zimbabwe is the latest african country to begin coronavirus facts and nations the world health organization is increasingly concerned about the spread of the south african variant cross the continent. west africa is on high alert after a new outbreak was reported in guinea early in the week more than 11000 vaccines are expected to arrive in guinea ahead of an immunization campaign tackled the deadly virus. politicians of the beijing new legislation that could extend the current coronavirus overnight curfew protests against lock downs went on for several days destructions were imposed in january. the white house is unveiled sweeping new measures to overhaul the nation's immigration system and it wants to

offer permanent protected status to undocumented immigrants brought to the u.s. as children and to millions more who've worked in frontline roles during the pandemic legislation would also provide an 80 a path to citizenship for 11000000 people who are already in the u.s. the white house has already overturned the trumpet ministrations remain in mexico policy which requires asylum seekers to stay in mexico while their applications were processed the department of homeland security is now missing 25000 applicants who are waiting at the border let's go live now to washington our white house correspondent kelly hellcat is there for us so kimberly talk us through the main proposals that will be laid out by the democrats later today. yes so what's important to note here is this is legislation being unveiled on capitol hill through the democrats in the senate as well as the house of representatives that really builds on the pram bettors that the biden administration laid out that joe

biden said in the campaign trail was his priority so essential what this does this sets up to tears of legal pathways to immigration for the more than $11000000.00 illegal immigrants here in the united states who have been living in the shadows that can now be brought in to sort of mainstream america that means that have access to jobs they would have access to schools and they would also be able to pay taxes which is something that the united states government could really use right now as this economic recovery gets underway do the pandemic so what it means is those that have been here working is far more kurds have temporary protected status or even came here as children often referred to as dreamers but have now grown up and are adults and have been living illegally all this time they will immediately be given green card legal status so that they can work can go to school and now everybody else who has been here for years illegally they will be given deportation

relief or at least be able to request that they also get work permits and 8 year pathway to citizenship now what's really important to note though in all of this is this only applies as it stands right now to people that were in the united states prior to january 1st of this year 2021 and so that is really an important factor in all of this the other thing that's really important as a this will affect a lot of people that have come from central america and there continue to be problems with conflict with drugs illegal human trafficking all of this is sort of the root cause of immigration that's also going to be addressed in this bill in terms of giving money to send. american governments to try and help boost people in their home country so they don't need to have economic migration for example and there will also be processing centers in central america so people don't have to make that deadly journey through mexico. in order to try

and file these claims so these are some really significant aspects of the legislation that democrats say will really change things in the united states something that americans have been trying to work on for more than 2 decades white house correspondent kelly how could reporting live from washington many thanks indeed kimberly and fresco is never gracious attorney a former deputy assistant attorney general in charge of immigration under the obama administration he joins us now live from washington good to have you with us. what do you make of this new bill to what extent is it trying to do too much or at once . well what it is is it's an ambitious proposal that lays out what in a perfect or old beat by didn't ministration that many democratic progressive advocates would like to see in the immigration system the problem that you have is the bill in the current form can pass because it won't get any republican votes and will even be tough to get some said dress them a chronic vote and so this begins

a much larger process of trying to then decide which of these provisions can remain in a final bill that would get republican support but also what provisions that republicans care about should be either do with this bill in order to get their support and we've never gotten to a place of 20 years or we can find the right balance to get enough republicans to support the bill but people will drive because the cause is significant and it's a word that each and there's millions of people's lives depend upon getting this issue resolved why are republicans some of this issue of immigration and some centrists as you say i mean the country needs immigrant softness. i think there are 2 different problems i think there's the problem generally that immigration is a very difficult issue on the republican side because trump sort of laid bayer that the winning formula on the republican side is 'd to try to diminish the number of

foreign nationals doing anything in the united states he basically articulated that as a policy the drive to reduce whether it's skilled workers or unskilled workers or refugees whatever the number whatever the category and the number is it should be reduced as the heart of this extent possible that was a policy that trump got broad support for in the republican party and so it will be hard to see the republican party come out from under that and try to compromise but also there's the issue of coal that right now and because unemployment isn't at the historic lows it was i had 2 years ago people might ask is this the right time to be doing immigration so what needs to happen to this bill in order for it to think the support of republicans. well i think this is where it's going to take a lot of effort and energy both from president biden but also from senate leadership to say here is a clear deadline they have made further june 1st we are going to do

a bill on the floor of the senate whether it passes or fails to show who's on what side and why and let's see if before we take this vote that would fail unless we get a compromise can we get people together in a room of good faith and drive to get sufficient support for this and so that's what i think it will take a clear deadline vote being scheduled and then i hope that you can get a compromise bill before that vote is good will have if you can get that at least you take a vote on this package and you let people that clear where they stand on it but obviously that doesn't get you brought rez that does get you an articulation of the boards a while but what do you hope for is by setting the deadline that the people will come together and try to reach a compromise really gets to me on many thanks indeed for being with us leon fresco that it wasn't. the u.n. special envoy for yemen has called on who came rebels to stop their offensive on little the city of bari about addressing a virtual beating of the un security council not

a griffiths said the group's quest for territorial gain threatens prospects for peace the un's humanitarian chief mako call previously warned of an attack on the city would endanger 2000000 civilians and force hundreds of thousands of people to flee let's go back to snowy new york assignats top diplomatic at a james pace who's at the united nations popular cocozza saying that something like $4000000000.00 is needed to fund humanitarian operations in yemen. yeah age and we get these briefings every single month from the u.n. on the situation in yemen and listening to the briefing today i have to say it is the most depressing situation that i've heard possibly ever but certainly for a very very long time and certainly the special envoy martin griffiths to start describe the military situation as the most tense since he took over his job and he's been in the job now for 3 years he's very concerned about the situation in

marib he says the offensive there puts millions of civilians at risk particularly if the fighting which could happen very soon reaches camps where people who've been displaced from other parts of yemen are now living but perhaps even worse than that was what we heard from our local who is the undersecretary general for humanitarian affairs like the top official coordinating all of the u.n. see monetary an agency agencies he said that yemen was now only the brink of a massive famine in the worst that we have seen for decades he said and this figure is quite astounding that there were 400000 children under the age of 5 who he feared were living there last weeks and months so very very depressing news with regard to the current situation in yemen now there is some other news about what's

going on behind the scenes that might be perhaps a little bit more positive and that's about the diplomacy that's going on the u.s. as certainly made this more of an emphasis they've decided to delist who thiis from terrorist status that have been put there by the trump administrating allowing aid to float to that side of the conflict to mr griffiths himself has been carrying out the blow in riyadh and in tehran and so there are some efforts on the wider regional scene to solve things but certainly the current situation on the ground very grim indeed our diplomatic editor james pace reporting live there from the u.n. in new york. in syria more than 20 people have been killed in a camp hosting eisel families syrian kurdish forces guarding the whole camp so that the killings isolates way of intimidating people and attacking perceived enemies

the camp posts more than 62000 people a majority of which are women and children that are patrician of foreigners been on the way but was dramatically slowed the use of the coronavirus pandemic but one couple on is the director of policy analysis at the arab center for research and policy studies he says that eisel could be trying to establish control of the camp in order to smuggle families out. the man reasons behind says that austin is saying to him to have gone through a lot that can be are maybe the intimidating people who are suspected of being good at it or. maybe you're playing to defect actually. with the kurdish forces who are actually quite hoarding all policing that guy so that is me and i mean this is what we think is the means reason behind the sit in the good in the recent weeks also to see you have to see in syria in the end that
