to account how it is in journalism is breaking among the destruction of civilian property. this is all evident for firm trials and the rate of speaking. now, we've been getting stories of john this taken from the houses in the middle of the night and tortured listening post covers the way the news is covered out there. ah, this is al jazeera ah, hello there, i'm just talking to pay and this is a news out live from our headquarters here and go ha, coming up in the next 60 minutes, using rice to entice more people to vaccinate against curve at 19. but now the philippine president is threatening jail if people reject the job. the jubilation from supporters of all mean is reelected. lead

us, the opposition says there's evidence of health worries for people living the oil production facilities and southern iraq of cancer rates rise. and the uncomfortable relationship between cruise ships and the city of canal why venice is at risk of being put on unesco, endangered and famous with all the day forth. new denmark are on their way to the last 15 years of the hammering russia. for one that are more on the way later, the news, our me now a warning of a corona virus vaccine crisis developing and poor nations that desperately need a boost in doses. the wells health organization says of the ac nations targeted under that global sharing skin kovak,

more than half are facing shortages. some of run out if now setting up a hub in south africa to try to allow developing nations to make their own vaccines . the could be 19 funding because shown that relying on a few companies to supply global public goods is limiting and dangerous to boost manufacturing, w h a has continued to call for the sharing of know how technology and licenses and the waving of intellectual property rights on a more positive note, cuba has released promising data on the 2nd of 5 vaccines that it's working on. its health ministry says it's 92 percent effective after 3 jobs. one country making slow progress with the facts in wrote out is the philippines. and now prince president, president rigor detached, a is threatening to jail, people who refused to be vaccinated. off more on this, let's speak to melinda organ. she's in manila for us jamila. these threats of these

arrest sounds fairly extreme. what's stopping people from wanting to go and get jobs while, you know, this threat came from president there at the, in his latest public appearance, where he basically said that filipinos can be put to jail if they refuse that vaccine. but early this morning, the same statement coming from the president was contradicted by the department of justice secretary and basically saying that the law, the government cannot compel filipinos to get back to needed. but i've, you know, it will just go more to pick more than just threats coming from the president in order to convince a lot of filipinos to get vaccinated. latest survey, a local poll survey showed that only a 3rd of those pulled were willing to get back to needed. and this issue of vaccine hesitancy has been a problem for so many years. in 2017 president of the good that there is government conducted an investigation into his pre disasters being vac. i'm paying

a big baksha was a vaccine for den get fever and it was inoculated in during that time a former precedent been ignore quino. now that investigation was played before the general public for many years, and that contributed to the very high vaccinate vaccine hesitancy in the philippines. another issue here also is vaccine preference. another survey also shows that majority of filipinos do not want vaccines coming from china, which makes up the bulk of available vaccines. here they do prefer american and where are western vaccines, which is pfizer or more than one day or not. and these are really very limited here at the moment. sure. miller, in terms of access, we're talking about a country made up of what more than 7 and a half 1000 islands. just how easy is it to actually access vaccines there at the moment? well again, with the asia vaccine hesitancy, as mentioned,

there are efforts from different local governments. there are those who are offering incentives, just gas money, for example, even prices of house and lot in grand low to if ever, towards the end of the year in order to encourage people to get vaccine needed. but again, when it comes to supplies, that's also a big issue. at least about 3000000 have already been received from the kovacs facility by the philippine government and over a 100000000 have been ordered from different manufacturing companies producing these vaccines. but this will take time, and as you mentioned, with over 7107 islands in an archipelago by decide these are right now we've has to go through this logistical process of getting these vaccines to this far flung communities and according to experts. and if we look at the current inoculation program of the government, the said that it will take about 3 years before the country actually received. heard in unity through inoculation, tim allen, dog and there with all the laces for us from the philippine capital manella. thanks

so much to mila. well, let's now talk about vaccinations on the african continent where less than one percent of the population has been vaccinated. dr. richard me, he go, is the coordinator at the immunization and vaccine development program at the world health organization. he joins us now from the republic of congress, capital brownsville dr. thank you for taking the time to join us. i want to ask you more about this initiative to set up this vaccine production hub in south africa. it would be reliant, i understand to really get patient waivers in place in order to actually be able to make the jobs. now given that hasn't actually happened and the fight still goes on at the world trade organization, is this jumping the gun little well, thank you. very much for your invitation for the no, i think it's definitely a very good 1st step in the right direction. we have seen how didn't our board the african continent. dina in terms of supply situation. so i think that's

establishing the hub in south africa. it's a really strong signal sending by not only w to african union and african cities, and all the partners working together to make the look of production of vaccine a reality africa. i'm curious also dr. about the choice of vaccines here. i see it's the m r, n a jobs no more expensive. they require people to come back at least twice and they're also hotter to transport and roll out, given the temperature is why m r n a vaccines. the focus was the, it's very interesting when we looked at the new technology that is being used to produce the messenger r n a vaccine. i think it's fascinated, for instance, a quick production of the vaccine. bare to the traditional way of producing vaccine and flexible technology that could be adopted very quickly, for instance, to produce vaccines for different variants. so i think

the choice of these technology for the happiness of that is the right choice, because it's, it's going to help really, to kind of nip from the, the new approaches and technology to produce the vaccine quickly on different continents given the flu vaccine. rollouts, we've seen across the continent and the capacity constraints that i know, for instance, thousands of vaccines had to be destroyed in malawi for example. now, if the actual rollout in each country is one of the main issues, what difference will having an actual african, how bank when the situation is the board a lot from the station we have just described in malawi, for instance, where the vaccine that were destroyed were not necessarily because they were not used that population because the expiry days i just came closer. the good news from

allowing for instance, for the moment is that they've ramp up their vaccine up the quick rapidly and that the countries literally running out of the vaccine. so we have seen similar progress in other places in the continent where they progress, but it went very slow. so i think there is a strong signal that is now being sent by countries that despite the low supply that's currently existing country are really now starting to ramp up the commission . so is there, then the capacity you think to produce vaccines in the quantities that would be needed? i see the plan here is to smaller companies and obviously there is still the patient tissue or will there be enough capacity? and how soon could we actually start seeing vaccines produced their when before responding to that, let me give you 22 numbers. at today's only $60000000.00, close to $60000000.00 has been to be did to africa compared to more than

$2600000000.00 globally. it gives you just a scale of how low deduction availabilities on the african continent. so we believe that in the next 9012 months, the hub that has been established and we got could start producing vaccine. and these come lease to solve the problem of availability of the boxing. because for the moment, our each contract 1st using their supply to commit people in their own countries before even thinking about our country africa shore. dr. richard me here, go there, the coordinates of immunization and vaccine development program at the w h. i. thanks for your time. and we wish you all the best with your wife. thank you very much. now moving on an provisional results for if you're appears general election are expected later on tuesday, about virt has been seen as a test of prime minister. i'll be off mids, commitment to democracy,

but there already been allegations of irregularities, and not all regions were able to vote including t gray, where there's been months of fighting some opposition parties also, boy, casa, monday's election. while others say that ballot boxes were tampered with a new stuff attacked nominal reports. now from the capital, addis ababa, there were long queues of waters in most pulling centers in several cities across. if you appear including in the capital of the sub, some of the volta started queuing us las for a m local time. the electoral commission had increase the number of pulling stations across the country to avoid large crowds from gathering at pulling centers to reduce the risk of spreading covered 19, but also to haste. and the voting process is the 1st electro test for 44 year old prime minister who rose to power in 2018, championing democratic revival enough for a 2nd most populous country. and a break from it's offered a teddy and past totaling other things,

a common orderly so far. but i just wish the process was a little faster than it is. and we hope this election will bring peace and unity as far as i will, than anything i will vote for a party, which i think will bring peace to our country. and i finalized my decision on who to vote for. there were delays in some pulling stations though they threw up the national electro board seas about a dozen pulling stations opened late due to officials arriving late. voting was extended in some pulling stations to allow water cut the bulbs. the prime ministers nearly formed prosperity parties, the phone run up by a considerable margin in a crowded field of candidates, mostly from smaller, ethnically based parties. more than 40 parties are filled with candidates, but most originally based, some opposition parties of boycotting the volt in the battleground state of romeo opposition parties have been courted the elections, citing intimidation and imprisonment of some of their leaders and supporters. some

opposition leaders have however endorsed the process. colleague, it's somewhat credible. my expectation is that it would hopefully was minor difficulties would be good to know creative away because that's what we are hoping watching very closely up to now the turn out seems to be good. people are out in the numbers. that's a good thing. that's a good science, despite been billed as a nationwide election. so i'm not 2nd place in one 5th of the countries, 547, because it was these elections in the somali on how to region for this study. you will post for me until september for what the electoral board cold, logistical reason elections also not taking place in the region of north and if you up here most of the delayed volt scheduled for 6 september. but no debt has been set yet for a vote. in tig, i the pull something monitor by observance from the african union as well as

a number of european groups. but the european union did not send a team blaming if you appear for failing to guarantee the independence of its mission. once the volta account of personal in peace with the prime minister, who is head of government, as well as the president allegedly ceremony will roll on. the meadow joins us now from adis. a 100, a 5th of constituencies didn't vote in some may not at all, but i see those ballots all being counted. do we have any early indications not yet necessary. what we are seeing is in 40 a power them pulling sessions across the country. officials of the national electro board i'm going on with counting the ballot. they say the tunnel has been very high actually higher than the expectations. and they have been forced to increase the voltage time by between 3 to 4 hours in some places,

particularly in the oven areas where the palm whole has been higher done in the rural areas. but it has not been without problems. the opposition parties will fill the candidates, particularly the rural areas have filed hundreds of complaints including company with a bottle of boxes of papers and pulling material and up to and including the chase ingle. the agents from some of the pulling stations in the rural areas, allegation electro board is saying that they are investigating of the moment phase, not a 5th, or because it was in the country, the parliament if you'll be asked 547 members, a 5th of law have not had the elections because of logistical issues in the hot out of the somali regions as well as the conflict in think i of course said the heart

of as somebody who just will have the election on the 6th of september, but no date yet many europeans that quick so point out that this is a process that they are fairly new to and they would want the world to see if that way or not hold them to international standards. the prime minister is picking and said that this is the beginning of the process of democratizing if you're pm, but there were link one brick at the time. so if you're as themselves understand that they are issues with the elections, but they want the world to look at them as a country that has not had proper multiple elections for almost 17 years. now i'm going to do that, keeping an eye on that vote for us from at a thank you so much ma'am. while there is still plenty more and here this news are including the fight to save the great barrier reef. why? a warning from the us has angered straightly as governance and losing the 5th is we

look at how israel blockade of garza has left the production line high and dry out a software company and to england plays are in health isolation ahead of their final year or 2020 group game against the czech republic. peter will tell you why. i know the opposition candidate and armenia snap election says he has evidence of fraud in sundays voters. former president robert cardon made those claims during a news conference in yerevan earlier on tuesday. he was defeated by prime minister nichol passion, yet, who called that election to ease anger of a p seal he signed with as a by john? well, that speech worry challenge, he joins us now from the event. rory, i see this is being viewed by some, at least as a bit of a vindication of passion in peace deal. well

yeah, i'd say it's of indication, i think from the eyes of the electra that although the peace deal, although the war is amongst big sections of the, of the population here still unpopular. that grieving the angry, what they didn't want was a return to the governments of the past, and that actually was acknowledged, i think by robert cherry. and in his press conference earlier on on tuesday, he said that the result was unexpected. that the polls going into the election had put him and passion, and neck and neck, or even some putting carrion in front. but that's the brevity of the election campaign meant that they hadn't been able to get out there into the villages that they wanted to get to the villages where the administration of sydney and actually campaign stronger. so yes,

karen says that there are elect irregularities. they are compiling lists of those. they say that they're going to take his proof to the constitutional court. but i think carry on here. this is reading between the lines, but this was a press conference, gave the impression that he is accepting that he didn't win. this election, he's going to fight it legally, but this was a man who is not calling his protect his support, his apps on the streets. and it doesn't seem like he is digging in for a long fight for the city on the, to the victor. the spoils, he had his supporters out on this square in central europe and last night they were enthusiastic and tearing. it's a poison challenge though in some ways, because armenia is a difficult country to govern and it will not be easy for him. here is my report in the end, it wasn't even close with a much bigger victory than pre election polls predicted nicole pasheti,

and it's celebrating that the radi and central yerevan on monday night the thank the country and talked of work to be done. the me, the political cases that suffered anatomy on november 9th and over the republic up, i mean, i gave a mandate to our government and this political team to establish a dictatorship of low and right, the people implemented. and i don't so jubilation for the prime minister and his supporters. but although winning 54 percent votes from a turn out of not quite 50 percent, is a solid mandate. it's hardly a ringing national endorsement of the man. it was a large chunk of underside advice. is that in the end, when with nicole? yes, they might be traumatized. the grieving over here, minute 3 to 3. who has a by john, but it seen that was from why ever and his main rival,

robert cherry and what was the focus? and that's according to analyst richard garrick garcia. and his return to armenia is less democratic, passed his terms as president of armenia, where he actually came to power by force and forcing the resignation of the 1st democratically elected president tear patrol in subsequent years for charles on by ruling the country rather than governing the country has been much better at fixing elections than winning elections. robert contrarian and his armenia alliance are rejecting their defeat, saying there were voting irregularities. but international observers had given the running of the election, their preliminary approval. if not the toner, which campaigning was conducted. the parliamentary elections in the republic of armenia there competed and generally manage with a short timeframe. however, they were characterized by intense pull station and maud by increasingly

inflammatory rhetoric among key contestants. this election has delivered something unusual for armenia and the region largely fair vote, in which the winner wasn't pre ordained bots, nicole passions, and must move quickly to unify this traumatized and divided nation or political crisis might soon consume armenia again. so i think what many armenians and many observers will be happy about with these elections, is that at the moment it looks like they're going to pass completely peacefully. we are not seeing the defeated candidate, cherry, i'm calling for demonstrations on the streets. he's not calling for any kind of people protests to put pressure on passion. the. i'm the difficult thief. the difference is he has with the conduct to the election. he's going to be challenging in the course and through legal means, and that for armenia is a good thing. re challenge there on the ground force in the armenian capital.

european. thank you so much for now. spain's prime minister petro sanchez is june upon 9 that jailed capital on separatists leaders. on tuesday, they were convicted of sedition back in 2019 for their role, and the regions failed at 2017 independence bid. opinion fall post about 60 percent of people in spain, oppose fries, freeing them. supporters of capital and independence accused the government as intimidation. now unesco is considering a proposal to put venice on its endangered list. if the city doesn't tissue a permanent ban on cruise ships docking there. now, if approved, the agency could demand urgent action from the italian government by february, cruise ships have been temporarily banned from venice. since the start of the pandemic, residents were caught by surprise when a ship sailed into the lagoon, said he earlier this month. well, let's speak to tom also caci ari. he's the leader of the activist group coming thought on no ground the navy, which translates as the no big ships committee. he joins us now from venice

tomorrow. so i want to start by asking you for your reaction to unesco message. today it is a bit of an embarrassment for the italian government of course, yes, thank you for this opportunity that you gave us. we are quite very, very happy about this announcements about your next go because it's exactly what our committee is saying. since 10 years of struggles against these cruise ships in our and as you said, it goes a lot of embarrassment for our government. but on the 1st of april, may the government will decrease. that said, the cruise ships will not enter in our lagoon anymore. but as all the world, the manage to see on the 5th of june, actually nothing has changed. so this duration of your next call is very, very important. it's important because. busy of the main issue that the

big ship issue because the ships are too big for our city may pollute to too much. they cause a lot of damages to the bill to the end, to the natural environment of our precious food. and they are not safe. we have seen a couple of years ago to accidents in the same month. the ships are not billed and not made that to cross fragile may be evil, historical city like venice. so your bill to sail and to, to grass the see not safety or damage of the accident. perfect guy that the, just a couple of i do want to ask you because there are others, you don't agree with you. and thousands of people obviously depends on the cruise industry for their livelihoods, including some were based and better. what would you say to them? i say that we will always be on the side of those who

are losing their jobs. but we have to say a very important thing. we have to be serious when we talk about jobs, about work in a city. the main problem of venice is that venice has only one economy. venice doesn't live on tourism. venice died on mass tourism. the only economy of my student is actually pushed away from the city, all the residents, all the different economies. what makes it this a safety, safety? it's the reality of jobs. it's the difference of different work. now, what makes us sick are the citizens and the different jobs that they do? and the math teacher is the only one only the economy of venice. it's my doing just

pushed away all the citizens and all different jobs. so my and this is the other very important thing that nashika said because an s good did not stop to the. busy big ship issue, but said venice has to bring back residents. venice has to bring back that jobs are susan and the can not live only on over curious on the before and that, but then make stuff, but then is had less than 50000 residents with 30 to millions of tourists every year. this is a so big proportion to know in these numbers, and everyone can understand that who lives on theories has to have that sure that they can keep their,

the jobs nation. but venice has to bring back other jobs to bring by citizens and residents. really interesting that from the nascar tomato caci ari, the leader of call me thought though no, get on the navy. thank you for joining us on out there and sharing your thoughts tomorrow. thank you. thank you to you very much for this big opportunity for us. while you and officials are now also recommending that strategy is great, barrier reef be placed on a list of weld heritage sites that it says in danger. these trailing government says it stunned by that call and is now planning to oppose it strongly or above. man, he reports this underwater truth of colorful reefs, served as refuge in habitat to some of the most diverse marine species on the planet. australia's great barrier reef, both one 3rd of the world's coral population, but it's on the threat. and so 2 is a wildlife the relies on it. the eastern pacific ocean is heating up fast

since the mid ninety's. this is cause the death of half of the reef and his lead to un officials recommending it to be placed on a list of wolf heritage sites considered in danger. but the australian government isn't happy about it. countries including european countries, have got strong views about what policies different countries should have on climate change. and i understand that as well. but this is not the convention in which to have those conversations. last year the re recorded it's high sea surface temperature since records began in 1900. when the ocean heats up, curls expel algorithm, the causes and bleach only the most resilient survive unesco, his coat for the endanger listing to be adopted as its next world heritage committee meeting. but it's the 2nd time that it's tried to add it to the list. 6

years ago the australian government lobbied the 21 country committee to dropped the listing. it said unesco didn't consider the billions of dollars it contributed towards the reef protection. but some experts say australia is resisting a commitment to the net, their carbon emissions level by 2015. and that it's overlying from fossil fuels may be contributing to climate change. that means making very definite decisions on climate change. not heading towards supporting the fossil fuel industry in this country and i think you call mine guest developments. none of those things are going to help climate change, but also taking as much action as we possibly can on improving water quality for the diary. 3000 separate, leafs and 900 islands make up the great barrier reef. but with 50 percent of the reef already gone. many question whether you nascar's move will make much to.
