(read on) our correspondent, shymaa khalil, joins us from sydney.
5:02 am
what is the reaction from australia? what news where you are? the australian government doesn't seem to be too alarmed by what happened. they say that that losing one shipment is not going to derail the roll—out and in fact the roll—out of the astrazeneca vaccine in the country started today and as you say, the country did receive 300,000 doses of the vaccine and we did however as you heard earlierfrom the finance minister, simon birmingham, he said there was a disappointment and frustration it happened that way but he did, that it shows that it is a fortunate position australia is in compared to other parts of the world, cleary referring to italy and the eu. the country is still quite reliant on the shipments coming in but we did hearfrom the health shipments coming in but we did hear from the health minister, greg hunt, who said domestic

5:06 am
to try to avoid the virus. you didn't stay at homes, you weren't cowards and you need to stop all of this fussing and wining. how long are you going to keep crying? we need to face our problems. in stark contrast to the president, sao paulo's governorjoao doria has announced two weeks of �*code red' restrictions starting on saturday. i asked him what he thought of president bolsonaro's comments. it is a crazy guy. earlier today president bolsonaro attacked the mayors and governors who went to buy vaccines and help the country and the pandemic. we said we had to be strong.
5:07 am
that we had to stop crying and face the problem. how can we face the problem seeing people dying every day? at the health system in brazil, lewis, is on the verge of collapse. president bolsonaro's denial has contributed to this. vaccines, i see you beds, they are missing. there is no national coordination to combat the pandemic in brazil. mr bolsonaro continues weakening the health protocols. it makes it more difficult to end the pandemic and in fact, it's only getting worse. we have to do save lives before we save the economy. we have to save lives. lives are these moment are more important than the economy. if we don't have people alive, how can we consume? how can we have an economy in brazil? president bolsonaro, since october, he has not started only doing this now, at this moment, which is incredible. we need more vaccines as quick as possible to save lives.
5:08 am
mainly because of the new variant of the virus. unfortunately, brazil has to fight at the moment to viruses, the coronavirus, and the bolsonaro virus, a sadness for the brazilians. the violence in myanmar will be discussed at the united nations security council later, as international leaders condemn the actions of the military. myanmar�*s ambassador to the un says urgent action is needed to prevent the further loss of life. the us has also announced fresh export controls. police at the us capitol in washington have asked for the national guard to help protect the building for a further two months. thousands of troops were deployed after supporters of donald trump stormed congress in january. the european commissioner in charge of overseeing the trade deal agreed with the uk last year has said the eu is poised

the ayatollah she sammy. at some question the wisdom of a papal visit in the middle of a global pandemic to a country where security remains a serious ill issue. and that means many christian iraqis will have to watch the country's first papal visit country's first pa pal visit from country's first papal visit from their own homes. we don't feel safe in _ from their own homes. we don't feel safe in iraq, _ from their own homes. we don't feel safe in iraq, she _ from their own homes. we don't feel safe in iraq, she says, - from their own homes. we don't feel safe in iraq, she says, we . feel safe in iraq, she says, we are a religious minority here and we feel for our lives and the lives of our family. the story of— the lives of our family. the story of iraq's _ the lives of our family. the story of iraq's once - story of iraq's once flourishing christian community is now one of exile and even a successful visit by the pope is unlikely to change that. martin patients, bbc news. the chinese premier, li keqiang, has opened the annual meeting of parliament with a warning against any foreign interference in hong kong.
5:12 am
in his address to the national people's congress, mr li said beijing would resolutely guard against such moves. the gathering has been told that hong kong's electoral system is to be completely overhauled. (0ur correspondent in beijing stephen mcdonell, joins us now. when beijing set out last summer to quash resistance to its rule in hong kong, it imposed a national security law that empowered the authorities to arrest scores of democracy advocates. how much further does china intend to go? a lot further, as it turns out. i think that beijing was possibly shocked at the success with which the pro—democracy camp had at the most recent local council elections in hong kong whereby in all but one municipality the pro—beijing camp was wiped out. now,
5:13 am
already, in the elections for the mini parliament there, the legislative council, it's already heavily rigged to favour the pro—beijing camp and it was impossible for the pro—democracy camp to take control of. but even with this built in disadvantages, i guess, for the pro—democracy camp. that isn't enough for the chinese government, as it turns out. they are completely overhauling the electoral system in that city. whereby there is a committee that is stacked and controlled by the chinese government. they will not only vet every single candidate standing for office in hong kong but it gets to a point that its own candidates, a significant portion of the candidates we are told, in the legislative council. so that many parliament is going to be, it seems, like 100% controlled
5:14 am
by what you might see as one party, definitely one viewpoint, and you can't imagine how anybody in the pro—democracy camp, if i can put it that way, would even bother to stand again or pay attention to the elections in hong kong for the legislative council and for the hong kong leader, it's even worse, he is directly appointed by the same committee anyway, so the pretence that there had been some sort of democratic accountability in hong kong, thatis accountability in hong kong, that is out the window now and not only are candidates being locked up, but in the future, the chinese government can make sure that they don't even get to the point of standing in the first place. . to the point of standing in the first place-— to the point of standing in the first lace. ,, , a ., first place. , stephen mcdonald in beijing. _ first place. , stephen mcdonald in beijing, thank— first place. , stephen mcdonald in beijing, thank you _ first place. , stephen mcdonald in beijing, thank you for - first place. , stephen mcdonald in beijing, thank you for your i in beijing, thank you for your

i think everything will be all right in the end, as they say. this is bbc news, the latest headlines. australia insists it has enough doses of corona vaccines despite italy blocking the quarter million doses of the astrazeneca vaccine. brazilian president, jair bolsonaro saying his government has secured enough supplies of vaccines and urged people to stop whining as some state governors impose lockdown measures. confidence in the coronavirus vaccine is increasing across the world, according to a new report produced by imperial college london and yougov.

their survey of 15 industrialised countries has been monitoring attitudes over the last four months and found that almost six in 10 people would take a vaccine if it was offered to them now. our health correspondent naomi grimley has more. it naomi grimley has more. isn't enough to have a steady it isn't enough to have a steady supply of vaccine. countries also need to have enough people willing to take it to achieve herd immunity in the population. researchers at imperial college london have been tracking vaccine sentiment in 15 countries over the last few months, and this is what they have found. the survey suggests that people in the uk are the most willing to have the vaccine, with 77% stating they would take it if offered now. france, singapore and japan have consistently remained amongst the least willing and in these three countries less than 50% of those questions would accept a vaccination, chiefly because of apparent worries about side
