interior units from al-jazeera news updates on. al-jazeera. hello i'm adrian from again this is that he was on live from doha coming up in the next 60 minutes donald trump remains banned from facebook for inciting violence but he vows to keep fighting the tech giants. israel's president asks the opposition to form a new government creating fresh doubts over benjamin netanyahu his political future . a warning that india will likely face a 3rd wave of covert 19 was the obvious called up to help boost oxygen supplies. and canada becomes the 1st country in the world to approve

a coronavirus vaccine for children as young as 12. with this chelsea and brown majority getting ready to fight for a place in the champions league final and indian premier league organizers try to patrick and officials after the tournament is suspended because of 1000 cases. donald trump's plan from facebook will remain in place for now the tech just oversight board has upheld his suspension facebook ban the former u.s. president 4 months ago after he was accused of inciting supporters to march on the capitol building in january some praised the company's decision while others accused it of censorship of applying double standards to world leaders let's get more from our serious particle hain who joins us live from washington to talk us

through the oversight board's decision on this. well let's look back to january 6th as rioters were actually attacking the capitol and fighting with the police officers there what turned out to be a fatal encounter donald trump went to facebook and posted a video and he repeated the law that the election was stolen he did urged supporters to go home but he called them that they were special people and that they love them well facebook at the time said that there was a real risk that he was going to incite even further violence so they suspended his account they said indefinitely then they have created this board before this it's about 20 experts in the field of free speech they've been looking at whether or not that was the right decision so the board has come back and said yes that was the right decision but at the same time they said you can't just all the sudden say somebody is immediately permanently banned because that wasn't a term that you used before that so they said go back read look at look at the case see if the punishment fits what the violation of the worlds was and then let us

know within 6 months or so donald trump not happy about it calling it embarrassment saying that there will be political fallout but for now he's off facebook and instagram and doesn't have access to his tens of millions of followers they're all right so this is a board that an advisory board that is actually paid for by facebook had said that it did the right thing but it's also the company on the wrist. it did it said that they need to have better policies especially when it comes to world leaders what they're recommended in news that it is a board that is paid for by an endowment that facebook funded but what they're saying is when it comes to world leaders all across the globe that they need to have specialists that are able to monitor that content and to really rapidly respond know what the context is of that particular person from that particular country and then they should have the authority to act quickly to remove content in that so it is a bit of a slap at facebook but at the same time right now you're seeing there's

a lot of criticism of this decision it's criticism of the board not necessarily criticism of facebook now this will have real world implications in one sense in that donald trump still wants to be the voice of the republican party that is much easier for him to do in the upcoming elections if he can continue to put out messages of the candidates that he supports that's a much easier way for him to get to his followers he's also still banned on twitter so he is hasn't been able to do that what he did is launch just yesterday a website that's more like a blog that people can see his posts there and then they can tweet them out and put them on facebook so he still is trying to find a way around it at the same time promising he's going to come up with his own kind of platform in the future i was there as particle hey reporting live from washington patty many thanks will jim adkisson is a social media and technology analyst he says the decision has helped bring credibility to the oversights of tech companies. i think the oversight board passed

its 1st big test you know one of the real questions we call we like to call it the facebook oversight board but if you look at it closely it's actually not the facebook oversight board it's just the oversight board it was created by facebook founded staffed and funded by facebook but they clearly need to try to create some separation and i think they did that here they came up with a nuanced decision you may or may not agree with it but it certainly was a loss for former president trump and that he he's not not on facebook right now and they up held a decision that we will see criticism of the oversight board's decision that we're already seeing it from conservatives and i understand that right you've got a point of view and you may not like that decision just like you might not like certain supreme court decisions but i will say that every bit of criticism that's directed at the oversight board is a bit of criticism that's not being directed at facebook so in many ways i think this really looks like a quite a smart move that mark zuckerberg and facebook you know had the foresight to understand look these are really incredibly difficult issues you're going to be criticized no matter what you do we should create

a quantify independent board and then try to make it more independent i think is actually in facebook's interest for the oversight board to become even more independent because then it can absorb more criticism but none of that is going to make the criticism of facebook or big tech go away and i think antitrust which is what you're alluding to is still going to be a substantial topic of conversation for years to come. israel's president has chosen opposition leader at yale opinions to form a new government through foreign ruben ruben rivlin says that the paid who heads the centrist yes the tea party secured the support of 56 of the knesset's 120 members that puts prime minister benjamin netanyahu as political future in question as his 12 year run as israel's leader could come to an end the country's gone through 4 inconclusive elections in the past 2 years more now from harry forces who is in western syria rivlin the president has given the mandate to lockheed the head of the opposition but neither of those people are involved in what is the real

battle that seems to be going on here which is between benjamin netanyahu and the leader of a smaller right wing party young mena natale bennett he has and you know who has been absolutely ripping into bennett saying that he's being driven by personal ambition that he's essentially selling out by wanting 2 years as prime minister in a potential deal with lockheed for a change coalition block in the israeli parliament the knesset that he is going back on various promises he gave jury in the election campaign about not working with a left wing government and that is being driven by his lust for power now set aside what some people are pointing out when they look at benjamin at night netanyahu accusing someone else of personal political ambition this is a real bid by the you know to try to stop this this coalition building before it's even really got under way he is appealing for both bennett and for other members of

his party some of whom have been expressing doubts about entering into this very broad coalition with members of the israeli left which would probably have to be supported from the outside by palestinian israeli parties this right wing party does appear to be split within itself as to whether this is a good idea despite the fact that bennett has committed to having said that you know failed to form a right wing government to trying to form a national unity government akiva eldar is a political analyst he joins us now live from tel aviv via skype good to have you with us so what's your view on this can the paid for a viable working government and will netanyahu be able to stop him doing so. well of course we'll do everything to stop him and you know if he saw this by putting pressure on every single member opium enough benefits and even inciting it actually you can do or maybe copy paste from. 'd washington

how trump was reacting to the results so he mentions losing iowa and what not and you know is doing right now on facebook or what have you. been able he's just 5 fingers short all the magic 61 members already but the. committee indicates that will enable him to possibile that will prevent prime minister member. who is facing charges of corruption. and be in action so it's not just. ego it's the control of the father. and he will do everything in order to undermine any attempt and you know.

say it now it's not just that any of those political future we are looking at. you and it's ironic and you know will be were made by minister oh it will be you know. so we may need to get used to a different era well as it could be a self and how and so you don't think that. if le page forms a government the netanyahu will stick around and opposition you're saying that the charges that he faces will take him out of politics. and. there are some speculations that comes to shove and the. minister and the. members all different companies.

will signal that they had to say goodbye. and 2 of the jokes my. fellow. rebel against that and you know and remove him allow someone else. would you see. he cooked install a government which is always. what is the at the office and go i spend it and which the old looks father use once you know it's not on the equation and he's becoming used and from an as it is becoming and no service would be the solution because he's becoming the problem 'd so you may see some surprises at the last. well after 12 years they don't want to lose iowa and jobs if netanyahu goes what will be his political legacy.

i'm afraid that the only thing that he can get credit for is legitimizing. coalition whereas the israeli. we know that he was the 1st one. invited to an hour. so he's going to share not just. these lovely moment in this way or so. the irony is going to be that for the 1st time we will have a government. is leaning on the. head and. so well i think that maybe this is the only positive legacy that he will lead to them that we can compare him to his legacy the legacy you. were president. always gets to see so many thanks dave for being with us akiva eldar

there in tel aviv. the world health organization says that maybe hof of the world's corona virus infections during the past week have been in india the country also accounts for a quarter of all deaths reported last week that hospitals are seeing shortages not just of beds and oxygen but of health care workers is also a serious illness but pratap reports now from new delhi. when will have a good while decided to be a doctor he didn't expect to have to choose who lives and who dies and yet the full complete in his medical training at the age of 26 he's in charge of an emergency room in a new delhi hospital on the night shifts with a shortage of beds oxygen and ventilators he has to make hot making decisions. what

gold we understand is. what is the desired record in the resealed the market is you've been here mark me we're back here just in the. car at this point of being here before the day. patients are continuing to die in india because of a lack of critical care facilities 5 died in the state of iraq and when their oxygen supply ran out on wednesday india's air force and navy and now transporting oxygen and other aid while the army has joined the efforts to create more facilities. this is one of india's biggest public hospitals where that money is setting up an oxygen plant based on technology developed for its fighter jets it says it will set up $500.00 similar plots all over the country within 3 months the plant can generate 1000 liters of oxygen every minute. this will operate continuously so wherever such plants will be stored those hospitals will

not have to depend on suppliers anymore these plants are capable of transporting oxygen to patients directly. but health experts say there is also a shortage of medical workers with the expertise to administer the 8 these out on precedent in times we have never seen a pandemic of this size and scale and definitely a pandemic that that stresses the infrastructure not only. basics but in terms of man. takes a brief break to have his lunch but says the intensive care unit to i.c.u. is never far from his mind. that song list continues to be even greater yes you think that the beep beep beep beep that they are going to be noisy tonight that continues because i'm not you know the elite don't live. with hospitals and they work is it breaking point and his main opposition party the congress is the latest

to urge the government to impose a nationwide lockdown elizabeth piron of al-jazeera new delhi this is the news hour from al-jazeera still to come on the program keeping up the pressure the protests in colombia against the government and why isn't public t.v. made worse by the pandemic. people in scotland head to the polls but will of vote for independence be on the ballot paper. and will it be chelsea all real madrid to face matches the city in the champions league final look ahead to that match a little later in sports. canada has become the 1st country in the world to approve pfizer's corona virus vaccine for children above the age of 12 the pharmaceutical giant says that its trials on 12 to 15 year olds show that the jab is 100 percent effective against covert 19 canada has seen

a surge in cases in recent weeks and its infection rate as a pos the u.s. for the 1st time since the pandemic began the u.s. is also considering approving the vaccine for teenagers all white house correspondent kimberly hell could reports from washington. the peers health canada is placing a high priority on getting the broad population vaccinated verses making sure that adults have both of their doses in fact the data shows that when it comes to canada and its adult population being vaccinated just 34 percent of canadian adults have one dose so there's still a long way to go in getting that higher risk group vaccinated but the decision by the public health officials in canada is that they want to see children being vaccinated as well even though the study has just a very small sample and we really don't know the long term impacts the feeling is that because children don't get too sick but that they can pass it on to these

higher risk groups in order to try and contain what is canada's 3rd wave it's been crushing for the country they want to get as many people vaccinated as possible and that's why they're pushing ahead ahead of the european union and the united states in authorizing the age group between 12 and 15 years of age for getting the pfizer vaccine because the thompson is an associate professor at loyola university maryland he joins us now from baltimore by skype good to have you with us christopher how important you'll step in the fight against cove it is vaccinating kids between the ages of 12 and 15 it's incredibly important we need to vaccinate as many people as possible in order to prevent the spread of this deadly disease and you know at least in the united states about 23 percent of the population is under the age of 18 so this is the next major step for trying to protect our community canada's trying to protect their community we're all trying to work

together as part of the global community so this is a really important step but is that an ethical dilemma. vaccinating kids between 12 and 15 is it safe for them. all the data suggests that it states so about 1100 kids between the ages of 12 and 17 were vaccinated and they had very limited side effects fever achy muscles things that nature nothing more than what happened with young adults up to age 26 we don't know what the long term consequences might be but this seems like a very very safe vaccine since it's an m.r.e. based vaccine he said that it's important to get them vaccinated to what extent a they are they drive us all of the pandemic that's a great question that hasn't been sufficiently studied so we know they don't get as severe of disease but they do get to see us in some cases and some of those

diseases are very rare very severe and can be fatal and that's a very rare but we think that there is a pretty big component they have 1st spreading disease but we have not been testing children as much as we should of course with kids getting the vaccine between 12 and 15 it's not the kids themselves that make that the the decision about getting the vaccine it's that parents with all of the the vaccine hesitancy the we're seeing at the moment misinformation about about vaccines what would your advice be to parents who are invited to get their kids vaccinated. i think each family needs to do a risk assessment now the vaccine seems to be very safe but i would look at trend risk of exposure so is your child in public school or something where they interact with a lot of other people risk of severe infections or do they have any sort of underlying condition that might make them more at risk for severe disease and then risk of transmission so again are they in congregate living situations or anywhere where

they could spread this infection to someone who may be immunocompromised or may be at risk for more severe disease i think if every family kind of looks at those 3 things and then follows the science suggesting that it's effective and safe that they'll be informed enough to make the best decision for their particular family regards to christopher many thanks to christopher thomson that and baltimore. unions in colombia holding mass marches across the country anger of the tax increases has turned into a wider movement against inequality and rising policy the united nations european union and rights groups are raising concerns about the heavy handed tactics of security forces in colombia i was here as i was sometime between is among protesters in the capital bogota president do k. is now calling for a national dialogue but as we can see behind you the people in force again what's happening 2. absolutely adrian this is

a show of force by the unions the students associations and other groups that have been leading the movement to this what they call an national strike these days of protest 8 days into these protests tens of thousands of people are once again out on the streets this fight to violence past days more than 20 people unfortunately have died since last wednesday when these protests started against the tax hikes and have now below this to become a national outcry for what are the long standing ills of colombia of inequality poverty and so on the protesters have a long list of grievances obviously the covert 19 crisis has only exacerbated the. demands for example poverty has risen in less than

a year to 42.7 percent more than $7000000.00 colombians 7 now fallen below the poverty line $3000000.00 of them are falling into extreme poverty and this is why people are telling us that they want to continue maintaining pressure on the government that. they are excited that they have already managed to stop the tax reform. also the minister of finance has resigned and now they're saying they're going after basic income for the poorest colombia and they're also asking the president to withdraw the health reform that he has proposed that would further privatized the health system in the country and finally now they're asking for a full reform of police tactics and in particular have anti-riot police that there has been responsible have a number of excesses same past days according to many human rights organizations

both here in colombia and internationally on tuesday night the situation in the city of cali that has been the epicenter of the protest was calm but there is. another night of heavy clashes between protesters and police what happened. he. usually is when the worst of the violence happens the epicenter of this violence so far had been the city of cali where at least 11. more than 20 at least 24 people that have died happened. tuesday night the worst of the clashes were here in the capital in lower class middle class neighborhoods in the south in the west. this city and there was heavy response once again a part of the police but also quite a level destructions are part of some of the protesters vandalism in particularly

against a neighborhood police spots which are called 16 of them were burnt to the ground there was a particularly vicious incident in which protester put in fire one of these police . temp policemen inside of it the mayor of bogota came out saying that the level at tact the level of violence was unbelievable that obviously this is happening after days in which the police has repeatedly attacked protesters even shooting on them using a live for so the situation remains volatile but so far all the protests in the country have been absolutely peaceful on wednesday and quite colorful we're going to have to see what happens in the coming hours what's clear is that these demonstrations will continue. reporting live from bogota. spain's conservative people's party has won a resulting victory after

a bitter election battle in the madrid region being come but regional president isabelle day as i also won many hauffe of the $136.00 seats in the assembly but still short of an absolute majority but her party will need help from the far right vox party to form a new government but the baba reports. riding a wave of popularity off to defying the national government isabel death are you so leader of the right wing popular party or p.p. in the madrid region confident she'll be returned to office the people has been in charge of madrid spain is wealthiest region for 26 years. but this election is unlike any other taking place as it does during a pandemic that. you say has consistently resisted government pressure to impose covered 19 lockdowns arguing they cause too much economic damage the capitals have some of spain's elusive restrictions keeping bars and restaurants open despite infection rates far above the national average even to thank the mayor he added you

know they told me you have to close down because the minister says oh because you have to understand each other because of moderation it's what they always use to get you to back yourself into a corner to shut up to cower and to look for your own well being instead of other case before this vote was called in march after the p.p. abruptly broke off its regional coalition agreement with the center right policy see o'donnell's use of back those voters and. then election you know it's going against orders well for the more sort of far right party which again has risen within her already. yes leader of the left wing pod damus party resigned as deputy prime minister to stand in the madrid election recently he as well as several government officials received death threats through the post but it really went on a stereo regional head of the far right vox party cause doubt on the letters but

they most adopted the slogan democracy or fascism notion of what if anything about them what we cannot be asked to debate with those who question the threats which are serious i think it's a mistake to normalise the far right when they say these outrageous things in 2019 the right only retain power here because the socialists of prime minister pedro sanchez who got the most votes couldn't form a coalition. this time the p.p.s. way ahead but it might still need a partner to govern raising the prospect of the far right having a say in running a region of almost 7000000 people that even bother al-jazeera a weather update on the news out then why people in today's hear a racing to get home ahead of the religious festival of eat at new york's big baseball teams give their fans more of an incentive to get vaccinated against covert 19 channel will be able the details a little later. but

. first minister nicholas sturgeon her scottish national party is sure to win has called it the most important election in the country's history if the s.n.p. wins a majority in scotland's devolved parliament sturgeon will claim a democratic mandate to hold another independence referendum just a few years after the 1st in 2014 opposition parties like the unionist conservatives and labor can only hope to deny her that as they battle it out for 2nd place but there is a big difference between whether they have a majority or whether we have a party where they can need to work with other unionist parties and that's what we can't see if we can deal them that blow hopefully will take independents off the table for the next 5 years because it's yeah obviously something we want to put a stop to but it means they can't force through any referendums of their own the scottish nationalists have been the dominant party here for 14 years during which critics say the party's achievements in domestic areas like health and education
