refusing to accept the outcome insisting the election was stolen from him and pressing ahead with legal challenges. and many republicans are backing him up. these demonstrators in front of the supreme court don't like it, but nevertheless, donald trump and his party are still in charge. and they're rushing to fulfill a central campaign pledge just before the transition of power. republicans want the supreme court to get rid of obamacare and opening arguments have just begun. trunk promised his supporters. he'd roll back one of obama's major achievements. it's just one of the reasons many here voted for him again. and many of the 71000000 americans who voted for trump, believe him when he tweets. we will win and ballot counting, abuse trumps lawyers have presented no credible evidence of election fraud. but many top republicans still support trump and his legal efforts to challenge the

election results. anyone who's running for office can exhaust concerns about counting. in any court, there will be a smooth transition to a 2nd term of nutrition. right, we're ready. the world is watching. what's taking place that we're going to come all the votes. when the process is complete, will be electors selected. there's a process, the constitution lays it out pretty clearly. the health care system, republican leaders do not want to take a nice trunk space, which they urgently need in georgia, where 2 republican senators face run offs in january. the republican majority in the senate is on the line. it is time past time for republican leaders to stand up and say, we should accept the results of this election. and i continue to work with colleagues to urge them to do so. they call me to say, you know, congratulations, please convey my well wishes to the president elect. but i can't say that publicly

yet. that's might be because despite losing trump managed to mobilize 7000000 more votes than in 2016, that helped his party hold on to their majority in the u.s. senate and their hold on many state legislatures trumpets remains a powerful force in america. i ever feel like the president truck was also very good at young people throwing around our threats. trump alleges the election results are fraudulent and has taken his case to the u.s. justice department. attorney general william barr is authorized the department to investigate clear and apparently credible allegations of irregularities. the election is over, but it looks like donald trump is still well in control of the government. his vote is and the party because she won back to all guests in the area

around bay roots. port was devastated when several 1000 tons of ammonium nitrate exploded in a warehouse. at least a 190 people killed around 6000, injured streets, were reduced to rubble and thousands left homeless, 3 months on how the city and its been recovering. in a moment, we'll hear from the new arabic karim a 1st report on one family still mourning the father. they lost in the blast. these 5 siblings lost their father. it's hard to lose this word forever. which word in the book of the word that we miss you so much. our home is so empty, there is no feeling of security anymore or kindness. everything has changed considerably. and then we miss you, we miss you. may god have mercy on your love, not go after his death. may god have mercy on him,

it was painful for me. i wished i had died instead sort of one of the i lost my support and it was there for me. whenever i needed advice. he was my protector. and we're going to mohammed last county was only 56. he was critically injured in his home near beirut's harbor. make god have mercy on him. the door in the mirror, a foul on him. he was bleeding. when i held his head, there was a hole this break. mohammad was in intensive care for a month before he died. she hated it enormously. it was difficult to lose such an important part of my life. the how come now? i will only finish my studies for his sake. it's what he wanted. i never imagined i'd be bringing my degree to his tomb rather than to him at home. on a bit,

i had to have, but mohamed worked as a driver for a private company. he earned the equivalent of about $200.00 euros a month just enough to pay the rent. the blast destroyed their flat and the family became homeless. and had to say, we're going to find out who is responsible for my father's death. he was only 56 years old. we want them to be held accountable as an example to others. the family is now living in another flat with 3 months rent covered by an anonymous donor. it is just a short term solution, and now they will have to figure out the next steps. let's take a closer look at this and with abdul karim from d.w. arabic, he's just returned from beirut, where he recorded 2 tokens. welcome. so you were there at the port of beirut, where this huge explosion took place. what's it like there? now?

when you look around, you can see a lot of destroyed building and the poor itself is also destroyed. but seeing what you see with your eyes is what you feel when you talk to the people. and when you talk to the people, you see how devastated, how disappointed they are, how sad they are, because the poor was the heart of this city. and now they still have a lot of questions after 3 months that are still unanswered. like, how could something like this happen in beirut? let's talk about that. how? because obviously there's an investigation. how is that progressing? actually now nothing happened, no credible results. and this is a very big question that everyone, 3 months after 3 months. and this is a very big question that everyone is asking. and we already saw in the report, i talk to the victims, you know, who lost their loved ones. i talked to the families who, who, who are their homes were destroyed until now,

according to what they told me. no one talked to me, no officials talked to them, no credible sources telling them what happened, who could, who is responsible, who will be held accountable. and this didn't happen and this is actually a shock when you talk to the people they feel like left alone, they feel like sad and they just feel like it's not a reality. it's not a reality. and you could feel this when talking to people and i know the city, i know beirut, how, you know it's a very city full of life. but now when you go there, you totally feel the people in a very different mood. so mood. so how does that happen, or rather, how does it not happen because before the explosion, when the government was essentially the country was, was heading downhill and the government was, was, was dysfunctional. when something this big happens, one expects a big response. so why has, why has nothing apparently happened exactly the way you're asking it,

people who are asking the same on the streets. i think 1st is corruption in beirut, in lebanon, according to transparency international. lebanon is suffering from corruption. the 2nd thing, no one from the officials, feels responsible. everyone is blaming the other side. and there are sources saying that even the president knew that this substance was at the port. but he said, ok, i'm not the one responsible there are other systems responsible. i think the corruption word corruption is mostly responsible and the corrupt political system with just just to try and cram this last question in. and there was a hope for change. the government resigned 3 months ago. what's happened since on the ground. it's getting worse financial crisis. people saying even the now assigned new side larry who resigned one year ago to form now

a new government. he doesn't represent them and you have the coronal look down that's happening. you have a political crisis. there is, there's a big actually does a very big crisis. what's going on in beirut and people are till now don't have any answers and they don't know what's going to happen. and it's a kind of frustration because you have a financial crisis. you have a political crisis, even if they assign are someone you to believe that the government people are saying he's the one who resigned 20 years ago, and then you go to cover it and it's a rotation of that's what you see. you just talk to the people, people literally are trying to survive, especially when you, i mean, like months ago when you, let's make it very simple. when you, when you buy one kilo of tomato it costs, maybe 1000 lire, and now it's cost 10000 lives, but you still get the same salary. so all this together is really making people very shocked and we saw this in the, in the report. thank you for that, caring from the top of the army. your quick line of sports german footballers are

back in play later with a friendly match against the czech republic, with an eye to easing the strain on players. during the pandemic coach, iraqi love was named an extra large squad, but the talk is mostly about the stars who have not been called up. another bout of international fixtures for germany, coach you a commercial, but this time it feels a bit different. has been forced to call up on cap trio ridgeley, back to felix and philip max for the friendly with the checks in live seen so much football has been concertina into a short space of time of late because of coronavirus delays germany players from the likes of by and munich are therefore being rested, but will return for saturday's nations league game with ukraine. usual kimmie is one notable exception. his injury and buy ins win at dortmund in the bond is legal at the weekend means he is out until january club and national coaches are worried about the stresses being placed on players. it's any good you fit into those people

who are responsible for the schedules as you are, they have to put their heads together and make decisions for the future. that is, this isn't feasible in the short term. probably not in the medium or long term. that's the calendar is simply to fall and the players have to bear the consequences . a lot of things are played out on the players' backs. health is supposed to be the most important thing. and that is not the case at the moment when it's sort of also has to contend with a survey this week saying the interest of germans in their national team is dwindling. one way to possibly arrest the slide might be to bring back banished 2014 world cup winners. jerome bulleting, thomas miller, band mats hummels. or mario. good sir, who is impress it's escaping the blunders league. it's a place of p.s.v. eindhoven in the netherlands. but despite needing a bigger squad,

earth has resisted widespread calls for their return to the clock is ticking. lurve needs these weary players to make germany fall in love with his team. again. that's it. you're up to date. i'll walk you about the top of the hour up next a i'll be w. . i'm going to chop house news. asia have a good day to get

melissa chan. welcome to news asia. thank you for joining us. hong kong's legislature now has effectively no opposition. pro-democracy lawmakers have announced they will all resign. it's to protest against beijing's new bill passed today. wednesday, the law would allow the hong kong government to expel legislators without due process. and as soon as that law went into effect, the executive expelled for lawmakers. the opposition called the act quote, ruthless and said it quote, sounded the death knell of the city's democracy fight. joining us is holmes chan. a political journalist in hong kong holmes. i'm a little curious this decision from beijing did that come as a surprise? now the decision actually came as a result of china's top law making body national people's congress standing committee. and the reason why i came as such

a big surprise to people in hong kong was because this was not announced on the agenda beforehand. it was announced very rapidly and passed very quickly and taking effect immediately in hong kong. and also the disqualification of the for pro-democracy law makers also was a sign. it seems that beijing was lacking patience and hong kong. just a few months ago, the election for the legislature was delayed because of call it 19. and at the time, beijing allowed these democrats to extend their term by one year. so people in hong kong were thinking maybe beijing had some room for leniency, letting these democrats continue. however, that's not the case today. now, this group has decided to resign on mass, and that essentially means that there's no voice of opposition in the legislature. how critically important is that it really comes to a decision of whether,

what is the room for meaningful resistance or meaningful opposition was in the system. and what we see today, which is a general resignation by the entire democracy, it goes to show that the democrats have completely lost faith in the system, believing that rather than add legitimacy to a system, they were rather a show to, to use this as a gesture, of defiance to show that they will take their advocates see elsewhere and civil society perhaps homes can thank you for speaking with us. as things are developing india is playing a key role in the race to find a corona, virus vaccine. as the number of infections crosses 15000000 worldwide, multiple phase 2 and phase 3. human trials are underway in the country with intense interest. where in the world is vaccines might sell to. the world's largest

producer of vaccines in india is ramping up production to churn out, covert vaccines in the millions. as soon as they are approved, as well, reports on india's massive vaccine bid service has always been important to not need to go from donating blood since a young age to holding treatment the grapes. he was disappointed when he couldn't join the indian army to serve the country, but then another opportunity in his not indians not only came along, he volunteered for the clinical trials of over acts of a covert vaccine been developed in india. people told me it was risky, but for me it was an opportunity to be of service. i'm happy to dedicate my body to my country, my fellow countryman, whenever i needed it was this enthusiasm to volunteer for the covert vaccine trials that stood out for dr. summit that were in

previous clinical trials talked about more has led to much more convincing to find volunteers for this one, she had hundreds calling in within days. many people who came forward because they wanted to do a greater good coffee is one only within 34 days. we've had to have people in with us and isn't just individuals in india who are trying to play their part to help diva dishpan demick. 1400 kilometers of the western city of for me is home to the world's largest back seemed to do so. the settlements do to india produces over 1500000000 vaccine doses every year for use in 170 countries. now, it is poised to play a crucial role in the global bid for the put on our by the flaxseed fund baby. this facility is producing $13000000.00. this is all fuel for

a vaccine every month. it is set to stop by a $300000000.00 do this by the end of the year. we rejigged out capacities. we sacrificed a lot of products that we were going to launch in europe us, and that's why we were able to have that much spare capacity available for making these 45 different covert vaccines. and only at a low cost of a few $100.00 rupees. roughly $45.00 euros. with the help of the gifts foundation, the insecurity is investing to provide vaccines to over $19.00 to $1.00 middle income countries at an affordable cost for other vaccines at different stages of trials, but also being produced. none of these have been a food yet, but the company, c.e.o. or other, is confident that starting production already with the support of the indian government is that i mean if and when the vaccine is licensed, we have

a lot of product that we can distribute of course, it's a risk of the product for whatever reason feels of the last minute, which now let me say looks very unlikely. now things are looking far better, at least for the oxford astra. zeneca vaccine would expect in margin c, approvals for the oxford vaccine to come through early next year back and drop dark meat will still be going in for former tests next year. but i'll check how well he is doing with the back. and he will not be alone by his father was at 1st, voted for the safety of his son. he has now been swayed by love, needs enthusiasm, and one of the spirit who is now of vaccine trial volunteer as well and proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with his son in what he sees as a service to the country and to the world. joining us is ellen at 2 and the director of medicines, law, and policy. ellen earlier this week,

we've had the big news from pfizer, about its stock scene, and that it's 90 percent effective. can you put this in context with the efforts we're seeing in india? well, 1st of all, i think we have to be a bit cautious still because we've had crash releases from fire service, but no one has seen data. the studies have not been published in peer review scientific journals, and it's to happen, of course, the regulatory agencies will need to look at it, such as the food and drug administration and the european medicines agency. they need to assess the data to determine whether inspection is needed as a factor and whether it is or whether it is safe. there are a number of issues that have already come to light. for example, the fact that the vaccine, the pfizer oxy requires a very severe cold chain of minus 70 degrees celsius. that is, that is very,

very deep freeze, so to speak. and that is, that is going to pose challenges. there are others. but that is, that is one will the local for, of course are looking out because how is a vaccine that is going to be rolled out in a lower middle income in india is also as the report just showed producing $30000000.00 doses of the oxford astra zeneca vaccine every month. that is also still in trials. so with the visor nias does that change anything for astra zeneca progress? no, i don't think so. i think the oxford oxford vaccine, which was originally developed by our street university is really is you know, also one of the runners up and it is that model is quite different because, well, aster seneca is doing is it is working with producers in the carbon country countries such as india, brazil, or other places sort of acting can be produced locally and at low cost and at

very, very high volume. so that is a very interesting model and, and very important. additionally, as far as i am understand, the astra zeneca vaccine does not require a very deep freeze, scorching. it will have to be refrigerated and it doesn't need minus 70 degree. so, rolling out of assays globally, at a very large scale, that one is potentially very, very interesting. just because pfizer put out these very optimistic resolutions doesn't all mean that now they are vaccine development projects should come to a halt. well, probably multiple of accedes. we need to continue to invest and carry out this research because you are often the 1st generation parts are not necessarily the best. so to go to new to focus on innovation is, is very, very informant. and i'm a sullen government saying this. oh, yeah, i think i want to get in there and ask,

so the big question is, who gets the vaccine? and you talk about astra zeneca as model, but what is likely going to happen there? well, the pfizer vaccine has been the 1st batches have been blocked for united states. the u.s. has ordered $600.00 those as the e.u. is negotiating for $300.00. i believe the u.k. has placed an order of 90000000. that leaves only 200 left for this 1st batch that there are producing for the, for the rest of the world. so, box needs to happen is really in international agreements about how this vaccine this is being distributed. how many vaccines being distributed? because when is the happen is that the most vulnerable and people are in the front line of health care health care workers, for example, are prioritized. it would be ludicrous if someone at

a low risk in high income countries or just as france or united states will get the vaccine before a nurse in south africa, the us that is that you actually were on. so that is something that needs to be tackled. the other issue is of course price this vaccine. and we know the price that the u.s. government is paying, which is $39.00 for a convert to doses. that is a very high price for a vaccine and makes it puts it out of reach there. will this talk about differential pricing? prices have not been disclosed. so now this and other aspects at least to be tackled in addition to the production capacity. that's definitely going to be an issue, the price ellen at the end. thank you so much for your time. you're welcome. thank you. that's it for now we leave you with pictures from china where november 11th is 111-1111, what they call single day a day of online shopping deals. we tell therapy if you're not in

a relationship translates to big bucks. thanks for watching the next time. and by the phone against the coronavirus pandemic has the rate of infection been developing. what does the latest research say? information and contacts? the coronavirus update on t.w. is for me is for

beethoven is for beethoven is for covering the beethoven 2020 years or 50th anniversary on the race for a corona virus vaccine is not just a matter of saving lives. it's also a matter of saving face for some world leaders. as news broke this week, that 2 vaccines have reached 90 percent. if i can see the incentive to speed up trials is growing. russia and china are already rolling out their back scenes to the public before final testing. the rate is high enough. level of side effects is acceptable.

brimming with disinformation, separating fact from fiction is challenging. it's becoming like a bidding war for us. the german us saying its success of 90 percent reporting the same figure for its 1st candidate that was monday. in the interim vaccine is actually 90 percent effective. protecting people from covet. it's raising eyebrows among skeptics. but it's also raising hopes that we'll have a vaccine by the end of the year. and the president vladimir putin says russia is registering its 3rd vaccine against the coronavirus and insists all of them are effective. the scientific community doesn't agree and believes starting mass, an occupation is risky. the cameras are waiting. they've

been promised a celebrity who's ready to be filmed, being given the russian vaccine. sputnik 5 enter, blogger and bodybuilder, alexander spock. the eccentric social media star takes one last selfie before he's injected with a dose of the still unproven vaccine. and you couldn't, you know, no one had to talk me into doing it. it's always good to be the 1st at something, but i always had a negative view of vaccinations, but this is different for the doctors will keep an eye on alexander for the next 6 months to observe the effects of sputnik 5 the russian bloggers enthusiastic to be part of the program and like so many other people, he just wants life to get back to how it was. even on a ship, which is normally i travel a lot. i want to work normally to move around. normally. i don't like the masks.

now i can get all the medical treatments and be one of the 1st to be really free. when washed off international criticism, russia rushed forward in the global race for a coronavirus vaccine. back in august, sputnik 5 became the world's 1st registered vaccine. but critically, that was before the results of the all important phase 3 trials, republished president, vladimir putin is eager to be the man who presents the world with an effective vaccine that would come with guaranteed prestige. and of course profit. in mid october, he made another announcement that the novosibirsk base vector center has registered a 2nd russian corona virus vaccine. epi vaca, rona it without doubt. it's an important success that you, dear friends,

have achieved, was issued in the meanwhile, alexander spock waits to hear whether sputnik 5 has provided him with antibodies or, not. joins us from the f.a., the association of research based pharmaceutical companies. all of these vaccines, all, many of them now are sounding more and more promising. so when final testing is over, when, oh, how does production go ahead? well, the production has already started. most companies have produced components off the backs and already at least one company house also reported that they have at least one better, ready for delivery. and with the components the other companies will be able to have finished products. as soon as i have an approval while ready for delivery,

so hopes are high, but of course we have to see the final tests a top army general behind the us x. initiative, intice a pace the 1st americans could also start receiving $1000.00 vaccines next month. what do you think about that? well, the one company that have was the 1st to report positive efficacy results. and they said that they now have to wait full some of days to complete the collection of safety data. they need safety data from at least 2 months after the last shot from all the participants. when they can have them in their application is complete. then the f.d.a. in the us and the europe can start evaluating the facts. and when they have a positive opinion about it, and when there is an approval,

they can stop. so yes, there is a chance to have approval in december. we rob them all were expected in early january. and as far as production goes, how sufficient would you say the global production capacity actually is? well, some months ago the house being an estimate that there is a global production capacity of something between 2 and 4000000000 doses of covert 19 vaccines that could be produced. that's quite a lot, but obviously it's we need even mall. so companies have solved it to find more contract manufacturers that produce components for them. and they have also find other companies where they can license their vax into so that they can produce it as well. and australia and south africa and japan and so

on. so most likely during 2021, the capacity will even increase. what about the infrastructure? some of these vaccines have to be stored it stream the cold temperatures. well, some vaccines indeed need minus 70 degrees. but fortunately, some others that are also very fall in that development, they only need enough fred to rate. so we hope to hear elf positive efficacy data in the next weeks. and then this could make the situation a bit easier for those who have to organize all the delivery of things. and the w h o has organized the kovacs facility as like call it, that's the kind of an organisation that bias from companies and then

distributes the doses they buy between various countries that have signed in. and they make sure that a lot goes to middle and low, low and middle income countries. so, you know, i think those developing countries will be left at the back of the queue at the moment. it seems that the industrialized nations will most likely be quicker with having enough for all the population. but on the other hand, we also have mechanisms that make sure that the low and middle income countries will get there at an increasing share. and for example, companies in india have licenses to mass produce faxon and they have huge capacities when they can deliver. and they have announced that they will deliver it

particularly to low and middle income countries, that they will also have the vaccine they need. and also, could you give us an idea of how much the vaccine is actually going to cost? well, some companies have mentioned prices, some have already stated that they will have differential prices. so high a price industrial in industrialised countries and a lower price in the low and middle income countries for germany, it appears that the vaccination will be cheaper than the ordinary influenza vaccination that people have every year. so the prices are really oriented at the low end and some companies have stated that they will orient their prices at their at cost really at their own manufacturing cost.

well, impressive stuff. thank you very much for joining us today from the f. a time to ask derek what he thinks about the latest developments as always, our science correspondent is standing by to field your questions on the corona virus. here in south africa, some of us who had covered 1000 have experienced memory loss. is there any research on the card negative dysfunction is one of the symptoms on the long list of those associated with covert 19 that i think a lot of people really worry about in some patients. infection with the virus can have affects on, on cognition as well. as on the sensory systems that are tied to it, such as the sense of smell, some experience delirium or say they still feel a general sense of confusion or,

or find it difficult to focus. even long after other people who caught the disease might have recovered from it. the range of symptoms even has a name. people are calling it a covert brain fog and, and memory loss is being regularly reported by people who experience it. a major recent study from the u.k. that looked at the coronavirus and cognition, including some aspects of short term memory. it was pretty disquieting though. it's one that i, i hasten to add, has not yet been through peer review. the scientists behind it compared the results of over 80000, british participants in a nationwide intelligence test, and they correlated bad with data on their coded 19 status. so whether they've been infected and this, so how severe it was. and the researchers found among 1000 patients significant

cognitive deficits, including even months later, especially among those who were hospitalized. but even among those who had muddled their cases. the hope however, is still that those deficits won't prove lasting. i've been fizzling. it's a mark for me to get on

a list in moving the be fixing things instead of throwing them away with subsidies instead of crushing renewable or dance again above. this is what germany's church should look like. winding up instead of lagging behind, made in germany 30 minutes on d w.

this is news live from hong kong. pro-democracy legislators resigned 15 threats to national security. the program 300000000 doses of vaccine germany and the u.s. . the head of the commission says it's the most promising result u.s. president.
