1:03 pm
especially in the south and east china sea. i know japan shares our concerns we're trying to be stabilizing our actions japan also got an assurance from the u.s. that it remains committed to the complete denuclearization of its neighbor north korea but more fundamentally this visit is a chance to reset relations after 4 tumultuous years under the previous administration of donald trump so we think we're all over them so i think there is an appreciation of a much more focused strategy in principle the u.s. is going to be under by the illustration much more concerned about how the u.s. speaks with its allies on wednesday this mission continues to south korea where dealing with north korea will dominate the agenda with concerns about the lack of
1:04 pm
any response from pyongyang to repeated u.s. attempts at dialogue of course the policy is always our goal our goal is to reduce the risk of escalation but today we have not received any response time to coincide with this diplomatic mission and with the resumption of joint military exercises between u.s. and south korean forces is a stinging attack from the north korean leaders influential sister kim yo jong telling the americans not to cause a stink in this part of the world a warning of how relations could slip back into the acrimonious saber rattling of the past robert bright al-jazeera so. well let's get some reaction now from china katrina you standing by for us in beijing and katrina the americans are making it very clear they're in asia to shore up support from their allies in a bid to counter china however beijing responding to that.
1:05 pm
hi hala well china's foreign ministry have responded this afternoon by saying that the u.s. and japan should focus on affirming regional unity and cooperation and not by targeting a 3rd party or sabotaging their interests that was a relatively brief statement from beijing on this but certainly they are watching this very closely and preparing for that or in a high level meeting with u.s. officials on thursday the way china sees it they have accused the u.s. as recently as last week of hyping up this china threat and seeking to contain china and saying that this whole trip is really just about shoring up the u.s. interests not the interests of the region but it is true that there are some behaviors by china specifically in the south and east china seas which have raised concerns not only with the u.s. and japan but with other countries in this region we have had increasing not tree activity in the south china sea increasing naval exercises. along that territory of
1:06 pm
course including in the east china sea and in the yellow sea as well we've seen increasing chinese incursions in the area of the same car cruise a group of islands controlled by japan but considered by beijing to be chinese and called by beijing in the d.l. you islands we also saw that recently china has changed its coast guard law to allow coast guard vessels to carry weapons and if necessary to fire at foreign vessels and recently just generally this increasing rhetoric by chinese officials including xi jinping the chinese president that china needs to shore up and boost its military capability in order to defend its territory beijing has said time and time again that territorial issues are red line issues and beijing will not hesitate to use force in order to defend them analysts are saying that the u.s. is also very conscious of its meeting on thursday with us of the chinese foreign minister one with younger church top diplomat and that the u.s. is in its own way trying to feel out its relationship with its allies with japan
1:07 pm
and later with south. korea to sense how enthusiastic they are in terms of standing up to china so that they might bring that position and strengthen their own position at the table when they do meet with these beijing officials but also the u.s. and its allies are conscious of the fact that in order to work and to produce any progress when it comes to me when it comes to north korea that they will need to work closely with beijing to do this and all in all despite this criticism we are hearing from the u.s. and japan about china's the havens in the south china sea china itself is still quite willing and desires to work more closely with the u.s. to reset ties and find common ground with them but it will be interesting to see whether they can really look over all these challenges and disagreements they have in the south china sea and in regards to human rights abuses during that meeting on thursday ok katrina u n beijing katrina franky. now in the coming hours libya's new the sworn in unity
1:08 pm
government is expected to get to work the u.n. backs efforts is meant to help bring stability ahead of elections in december but with an estimated $20000.00 foreign fighters in the country security will be a challenge for the government's money trainer has more now from tripoli. after years of divisions libya's new government is formed in the eastern city of 2 brooke . 35 ministers including the country's 1st female foreign minister were sworn into office. the ceremony was attended by members of parliament the new presidential council as well as several investors and broadcast on most t.v. channels here on what many are calling as. their main goal to leave the country until nationwide elections are held in december and. now is the time to leave us to forgive each other and forget the past. after years of divisions infighting and
1:09 pm
after many months of negotiations we're now able to announce a new government that unifies all libyans. the new prime minister abdul hamid to be has promised to improve government services and unify state institutions but that won't be easy but the hardest challenge facing this government will be forcing foreign fighters you know parts of this country out they constitute a major obstacle to the government and to elections so it must be a priority we do not want a foreign presence in libya and this is a popular demand we as well he is a local journalist in tripoli and says people want action we hope that this government will not be like their predecessors and help the average citizen for 10 years libyans have heard empty promises that's made it hard for them to believe politicians in order for the government to gain popular support they should focus on domestic issues that touch citizens like providing electricity in basic services
1:10 pm
before looking to international and political issues while the government has many challenges for many here in tripoli it's covert 19 that needs to be addressed 1st. the government needs to focus on the health sector make getting covert 1000 vaccines a priority once we get it under control we can begin to look at other issues. after being sworn into office and used to the city of tobruk the new executive authority who turned to triple the outgoing prime minister voce of was will hand over power on tuesday in libya's 1st peaceful transition of 2012 and with that the beginning of a difficult role for the national unity government. where we can join my league live no from the capital tripoli you've been covering the story for of for all my how would you say libyans are reacting to this new government after so many years of
1:11 pm
conflict. and i think we have lost so mali trainer unfortunately let's see if we can come back to my leg but we'll continue our analysis of the story we're joined now by ourselves in istanbul is the founder and director of the said day institute it's great to have you where those on the news are or could you just start by outlining what sort of challenges this new government faces. several depends where you want to start counseling i think depending on how we view the conflict over the past decade this is really going to get to the heart of the problems that the g.m.u. the government national unity will will face the 1st being the basic challenges for daily life libya citizens electricity water every service that you can think
1:12 pm
liquidity in the banks these are major services that need to be responded to and they have been degrading as a result of libya's you know erosion of the erosion of its quality and its embassy for the past decade the 2nd being perhaps the most important of all the covert 19 pandemic and ensuring that vaccinations are delivered before the spring which was the promise of the of the appointed prime minister. now we can get into the really challenging aspects the geopolitics of libya's conflict there are 20000 across the country from the you know the arab emirates to russia and turkish forces that have been deployed here for at least a year and a half many for over 7 years so i think we thought that the look at the bigger challenges and i would say the final challenge has been moving from an era of conflict to cooperation and i think that's going to be much more challenging than just arranging a new cabinet there's no guarantee that just because they've reached a compromise in the parliament that these groups will cut will cooperate with one
1:13 pm
another and on the macro level well they cooperate in the most sensitive of institutional but fairly as the military institution that includes all of the different armed groups that have been fighting in western libya under the former government of national accord and those groups that were loyal to philip behalf to the libyan arab armed forces the trying to topple the government in the last 18 months there is no sign of progress in the military track and then military track is an inherently political track unless you have a subservient neutral military there is no guarantees that just because you have an . actions in december so you will achieve democracy and i think the neutral subservient military is going to be the most. probably the hardest challenge for this next government it absolutely is well given the state of the n box for this new governments how much faith do you have that they will eventually succeeds or are they being set up to fail. yes the because i think you know they
1:14 pm
have a major i mean they have a massive challenge of the challenge of the big question is how will the u.n. supports you know the transition essentially how will they get them to this road map but in the 24 that are some but it will be free and fair elections because it's not just elections free and fair means that any candidate for the next president any parliamentary candidate can go around the country and can but they need to be able to guarantee that environment is going to be a major major challenge and the 2nd and the most important is this libyan government doesn't have to it's a new fledgling government it doesn't have that much power so it will need it at the u.n. or most likely the body ministration to begin to send the right signals to international actors but at the point that most of the libya and get them to pull out if they can't withdraw those must there's no there's no guarantee that it's going to be a. very very tricky situation indeed and us joining us from istanbul thank you so much for sharing your analysis with al-jazeera. now libyans have not had
1:15 pm
a representative government since 2012 some in tripoli explained what they expect from this new group. the house of representatives was to fight and sessions were incomplete but now the nice thing there is unity after a period of interruption they finally managed to have a full session after many years. i just want to tell the new government but i'm not in the process of evaluating or judging it until after 100 days i must be transparent and have integrity and have open channels with society that equality will bring together all libyans from the north south east and west palm that mostly time hardened our demands a simple and specific we demand parliamentary elections government elections a vote on the constitution and then to transitional government we need the libyans to know what's going on they have lived through bad experiences and today to people need to stay aware and vote india upcoming elections or else face poor. results.
1:16 pm
and. after 6 years of interruption from conflicts and war inside libya we consider the meeting of the new government to be completed this is a good step because for the 1st time in 6 years this council is convened and confidence is granted so i think it is a step towards the better and a positive step after all the obstacles that we face in. person breaking news now coming in from yemen there are reports officials from the un backed government have fled the presidential palace in aids in the hundreds of protesters forced their way through the main gates now sources have told al-jazeera the protesters stormed the palace without resistance from forces loyal to the southern transitional council is going anger it's the government's policies sounds of course lead to tieri orating economic situation let's bring in i'll just say. just how unusual would you say they say these same protests just stormed government buildings in yemen it's not
1:17 pm
really unusual particular when we look at the situation that the country's found itself in over the past few years since that. regional backed civil war essentially erupted with this particular incident though what you have here is a great example of just the complexity of the crisis that has essentially all but destroyed the country in the capital of the south of the main city in the south which became the de facto. headquarters for the u.n. backed government that government was taking part of. its headquarters however the palace from the inside was being guarded by saudi troops saudi arabian troops obviously they are backing the. the government there but from the outside it was being backed by the. century separatists the southern. transitional council
1:18 pm
which is backed by the united arab emirates which in theory is actually meant to be supporting saudi arabia meant to be supporting the government and the ministers that were inside or some of whom were inside the building but in reality has also been supporting the separatists in the militia that have been calling for a solution from the sun and according to witnesses the 0 spoke to the southern transitional forces that were meant to be protecting the palace actually just gave way for these protesters to storm the part as they didn't just go into the peripherals of the pilots but as far as we understand have entered all the way inside the building who are these protests and what they're protesting about they are members of the national security forces who say that they have not been paid their salaries for 9 months now obviously yemen has been identified as the
1:19 pm
worst humanitarian crises in the world to be economically it is destroyed that being said there is aside from the poverty and so forth that is there is meant to be some sort of government operating that they have failed to pay the salaries of these security forces so they've gone in and storm did so how they're going to be resolved right now we're not quite sure we understand that they have been peaceful the protests so far but there is some sort of mediation taking place ok jim our seo in doha thank you there is a lot smaller still to come on. let's take a look at the state of syria's opposition in its successes and failures 10 years since the conflict began. and why brazil has imposed emergency measures in the state of south hollow and it shows i'm getting to see of the biggest stars in basketball and came on top of it in the show.
1:20 pm
now the european medicines agency is meeting in the coming hour to analyze the safety of the astra zeneca call with 19 vaccine germany france italy and latvia have joined several others and suspending use of the jan there citing concerns about a few cases of blood clots developing among people who had received the vaccine safety experts with the world health organization are also meeting on tuesday to look at the astra zeneca data well there are 13 approved covert $1000.00 vaccines but here are the main 3 oxford astra zeneca is the most distributed vaccine out there it's available in $74.00 countries including several in south america and southern asia it's also one of the cheapest at just a few dollars a shot pfizer biomes hack is also widely circulated in $72.00 countries including the united states canada and new zealand's though it's significantly more expensive
1:21 pm
at around $20.00 a dose medina is in $32.00 countries mainly in europe and north america and can cost upwards of $25.00 a jap but for more on this we can speak to oksana. in london she's the leads the university college london global citizenship program on outbreaks of infectious diseases suggests the person we're going to talk to. first of all would you say the astra zeneca vaccine is safe. certainly the evidence that we have here and. more than 11000000 people 'd. there are no evidence to show that there are blood clots that at any higher rate than what we would naturally in the population playing fast. i'm sorry to cut you off them but we're given that and given the rule lights in the
1:22 pm
united kingdom there have been millions of people who have received this vaccine the u.k. government is confident the w.h.o. is confident and safe the european medicines agency released a statement on monday saying they believe that the benefits of this vaccine. any potential side effects so what are these countries doing in suspending the over this vaccination campaign what sort of impact is that going to have on vaccine roulettes of these vulnerable populations across europe. well it is every country's regulatory bodies job to evaluate the data investigate potential adverse events rather different ways to do that and possibly a rollout isn't necessarily domi way to be scrutinize the data and understand it better it is absolutely essential that we are paying very close attention to any type of missions around and that we should be continuing to do this by however the
1:23 pm
timing of this could be worse as we see 12 percent increases locally specially in europe way descending here that means that already problematic and low back the rollout in the e.u. is going to be delayed even further with potential unintended consequences how much that there's been and in that period we can see not only further data related to hope but also an opportunity for fruit bearing to emerge as the relation. there higher rates of transmission lower rate to back the nation there are multiple consequences at play here but i don't really like to emphasize the point made by the debt your earlier that we're at now 2.6 are to bring that in 1000000 deaths. of it and probably a under as the net globally 300000000 back in the bowl i have been in 07 directly
1:24 pm
to any that are weighing up the risk benefit every minute that the. if you look at her bit in part to the buyer wiring we have a lot of evidence already to show that there is a crew about for complications including things like. differentiating between being caused by the virus itself or whether that was sensitive to the vaccine is safe to be really difficult. option approach. here's the heart well at the end queens this abundance of caution approach you could almost argue is irresponsible given the fact the actuals farms press so no by their tally 900000 covert deaths in europe and yet we have a french minister going on television saying astra zeneca is on a hot seat i mean is this political this is not political to your eyes.
1:25 pm
why does also different appetite for risk in different countries i certainly mean when we think about the previous many and not grounded in. person mark progress in saying that you see over 65. unsatisfactorily is of course later proven to be a harat certainly that not to have some political guy mentions to it pretty curious soon after the quietus news but i do think here that the scientists there are valuating be scrutinized and out a level that is outside of a wider context so. that the technical experts are trying your best to do your job but the wider application is that all the of you now what we have here are the rates of clocks or something that's very widely used birth control. and
1:26 pm
women out of every $10000.00 will experience a. quad problem but. here are 17000000 jobs minister u.k. and you know. that which is and it's this talk about an abundance of caution you mention there are some governments of a different different level of of acceptable risk when viewers who are not separate email just like myself when we listen to this kind of language we start thinking well am i at risk if i take this if you were speaking to the average only viewer who is seriously doubt whether or not to have this astra zeneca vaccine what advice would you give bearing in mind that there are many countries out there that cannot afford a $25.00 a shot vaccine but they can't afford an ashes anika one and if their populations turn round and say well the level of risk is too great for me to bear what sort of
1:27 pm
impacts i'm going to have worldwide. well i think that this will lead to further our public confusion this flip flopping but i think the important example to focus on is here in the u.k. where there has been millions of people who've been vaccinated and again this means that specially those who have other under wind conditions and who are elderly that means that we have saved lives and for matt perspective thinking about what risk cope with a post here and your health versus this vaccine i would be more creative kogut because i'm bummed evidence here in the u.k. is that this is a safe and effective vaccine to use that will save lives and i think that that that that's the core message here ok a safe and effective vaccine. in london thank you very much indeed for joining us
1:28 pm
on the news are thank you. now 10 years into the syrian conflict and president bashar assad there's still in power many syrians say the international community failed them and the uprising turns into a proxy war there's also those that blame the opposition for failing to provide credible alternative leadership saying how to reports on how in-fighting led to wars within the war. protesters demanding the downfall of president bashar assad's regime were shot at arrested and tortured syria's opposition decided to defend itself and fight back after losing hope in an international intervention. the formation of the free syrian army was announced by rebel military leader riyadh in july 2011 but years later the former air force colonel like many others acknowledged the f.s.a. existed only in. each of the armed groups had their own agenda
1:29 pm
and they wanted to implement it before the full of assad this cause divisions international powers intervened and supported different groups a unified authority that would serve as an alternative to the syrian government is what the opposition has so far failed to do they control territory they have a base to govern from but it is territory where wars within a war are being fought. by 2013 much of northern syria belonged to many opposition groups that were only united against the common enemy and they share territory with al-qaeda linked groups which wanted to establish an islamic state. at the start foreign fighters were welcomed by the opposition which felt abandoned by world powers. that changed when they started to take territory from those they called corrupt rebels armed opposition groups linked to the free syrian army are no
1:30 pm
longer here i still also imposed brutal tactics arresting killing and forcing into exile activists who called for democracy from the foreign fighters actually. maybe came in it's like this they don't want our forces to be here. and also also it's. global attention focused on defeating eisel in what was described as a counterterrorism mission rather than an effort to tip the scales in the war. actually community over promised that when you have president obama. british french and german. saying it's prison last stand it triggered an expectation that they were going to back this up so instead it was the regime which received outside support russia and iran's entry on the battlefield turn the equation on the ground in assad's favor. the opposition has been pushed to the
1:31 pm
northern corner of syria where millions of people remain vulnerable to attacks demands for a safe or a no fly zone to protect them are still ignored 10 years on jennifer there beirut. still to come on al-jazeera the coronavirus pandemic is heightened concerns about cyber security you know more from an exhibition in cutter and a sports lead on messi had some other landmarks stand out well have all the details for you later in the show. how their way to certainly has a. with us just yet across here we've got quite a messy picture going on here areas of cloud down towards the southeast and coldness and storms rumbling away with rain sleet and snow mixed in but quite

1:35 pm
latvia have joined several other countries is suspending the use of the jab and the sexual state says he used his 1st overseas trip to take a hard stance against china and sleep and can says washington is prepared to push back against beijing's growing influence in the region well let's get more on that story now we're joined by steven nike he's a senior associate professor of international relations at the international christian university and joins us now by skype from tokyo as kids have you with us on the news hour you're joining us from japan so i reports that which is say this visit by anthony bergin to japan is to the japanese government's. it send signals at 3 different levels 1st of all the joint statement released by the united states and japan touches upon the areas that i think japan its nose most concerned about the same cook islands north korea and of course chinese a sort of behavior broadly within the region
1:36 pm
a 2nd the statement actually included at their east explicit statement on china and i think that's critical japan to date as well has not been forthright in terms of explicit criticism about china and its concerns 3rd and i think importantly that the united states is committed to defending japan and strength in the alliance in particular on the set so that the areas such as defending the same couple islands against a 3rd country that would invade or try to take over these islands so i think it's been a strong statement an important statement and it's a statement that's going to produce strong results in tokyo and in terms of the north korean nuclear issue we've seen lots of different approaches from the u.s. over the years donald trump of course taking a more or less a fair personal approach it's a very different strategy from president by a do you think more progress will be made since hands of the the nuclear issue in
1:37 pm
north korea with the biden team on board it's. absolutely i think that the by the administration if you look at the statement there was a release by the americans of the japanese focuses on south korea japan and u.s. cooperation and coordination on dealing with issues in into pacific and one of the core areas is north korea the statement also focuses on the idea not denuclearize in the current korean peninsula but denuclearizing north korea so the focus will be at least a trilateral approach to putting pressure on young but also providing some carrots if they change the behavior will be able to make progress i think what's important is that they're going to pursue a multilateral approach to pressuring pyongyang to shape its behavior and i think that's most critical rather than a chaotic or a head of state head of state. negotiation which under the truck administration made no progress action may north korea stronger possibly but so you could also
1:38 pm
argue that before trump there were several decades of presidents taking the approach biden is now and no real progress has been made in that regard so be just my back to some kind of status quo. but the key is on moving on north korea is to stop its missile development in stop its. uranium enrichment and stop the refining i.c.b.m. intercontinental ballistic missiles and these are all tall order as it's going to require multilateral cooperation to put pressure on north korea and whether the by the ministration can do this is an open question but i think that working multilaterally would strengthen relationships whether rather than we can relationships as we saw into the trap administration that there is indeed a higher chance for putting curbs on development of missiles and weapons of mass destruction north korea ok stephen maggie great to get your thoughts thank you so
1:39 pm
much for joining us from tool thank you. 3 nigerian teachers are still missing after gunmen abducted them from a primary school in the northwestern state of could do in are on monday no children were taken but the rate is the latest in a string of attacks on schools in nigeria and this comes just 4 days after $39.00 college students were abducted by armed men on the outskirts of kids in a city let's get more now from our dreams he joins us from nigeria's northwestern state of kids in that were are right there is clearly a significant security issue where you are why are the governments simply unable to keep their people and their children safe in northwestern nigeria. well before we even come to that we are right in the middle of the school where these 39 students were taken like you said in the introduction now the issue of
1:40 pm
kidnapping for ransom in nigeria and banditry has been there for quite some time now and the fact of the matter is the security personnel are overstretched underfunded and they craved and of course not able to deal with the situation now when you look at the nigerian side of the control the total control of security forces arrest with the federal government the states have no say although the governor is a security officer of the state the chief security of the soviet state but he doesn't have total control of the police all the army or the parliament part of military organizations that are directly paid by the federal government that's the reason why some states are asking for state police to be funded by them to be controlled by them so as to address this issue however the bigger issue is that the crimes that we are seeing in northern nigeria is fueled by so many things poverty one under development 2nd and of course the issue of negotiating with criminals
1:41 pm
has also as you are serious to mention several state governments are negotiating with bandits with kidnappers to us to retrieve the horse tell us from these criminals however that to some analysts encourages more and more people to go into the crime by the way this is the biggest criminal enterprise and the fastest growing in nigeria as we are today now we are in a state where the governor has taken a tougher stand on kidnappers and banditry he said no negotiations with them and in fact he's calling for the death penalty against anybody found in this in this now if you look at the military aspect of it the military has been deployed to deal with several situations in nigeria from kidnappings in northwestern nigeria to book when i'm in the north east and then you have crisis in the eastern part of the country where. you have probably after a session is filled with several other criminal activities that can go on for the sick or just services has been always strange and they've been casualties of war
1:42 pm
over time and being replaced big the nigerian government has not fully funded discordant system we just heard from the national security adviser complaining that some of the equipment ordered for the military and security forces have not even arrived right in with all the cuban have been supplied for years ago. been more sort of repeat replenishment and one other key aspect of it of course is that issue of intelligence gathering which of course has not been invested in show much. giving as a wrap of the situation there in the thank you well to me and mine own people in yangon a free in one of the districts put under martial law local media reports and columns of of traffic people on the roads as far as they can see the city was a battleground on monday security forces escalated they're cracked in on and protesters activists say at least 20 people were killed. brazil's south minister
