get rid of everything that. this is you don't use a live shot from berlin india proves 2 different vaccines against the corona virus the move it paves the way for an ambitious inoculation program in a country that has suffered one of the largest covert 900 death tolls in the world . and in the united states a new session of congress convenes new members of the house and senate officially take their seats for the 1st time since one of the most of the bitterly fought election in modern u.s. history.

so i'm claire richardson it welcome to the show india has formally approved the emergency use of 2 coronavirus vaccines as it prepares for a huge inoculation campaign in the country has recorded the 2nd highest number of infections in the world 2nd only to the u.s. now the work begins in earnest as authorities gear up to roll out free shots to 300000000 of india's 1300000000 people within the next 8 months. you know even the way for one of the world's biggest inoculation drives distemper coronavirus pandemic one of 2 vaccines authorized by india's drugs regulator was developed by astra zeneca with oxford university the other by the indian company biotech. i think where things are mentioned. but nor the fact

that they're going to come and pick forthcoming and according to rex the more let you down and bought a fire they are the more horrific their inordinate amount of. india's prime minister narendra modi hailed it as a decisive turning point in the fight against the corona virus. but health experts of raise concerns over the vaccine developed by biotech it's been approved without data on its efficiency thing published and is it to undergo large scale trials. nevertheless many indians welcome to the news that vaccines would soon be available yeah that makes you live in a little bit when you're here to run with that feeling of oh they're trying to get back to a normal life or. i'll go as soon as that arrives it's safety it's safety for us that's a nation is safe for our body and if i don't get it because other people say things

and i can try to cope at 19 whom is the defects it's affects me. india has already held nationwide drills to prepare its health workers for brits vaccine rollout it plans to inoculate around 300000000 people on a priority list this year but with a population of 1300000000 the country has its work cut out. earlier we spoke to d.w. correspondent in the mission wall in a deli and we asked her how realistic it is to deliver the vaccine it to 300000000 people by the end of the summer. you know why do you think bad of again how do you know how do you did that about how to do this the close to 30000000 really do not seem to will be will be time language which you want all of us tell us and then sanitation worker security plus a better it is actually to me other than sending reading on the priority list which could be your child which we didn't do everybody about 50 years and really just as

a little below 50 us we will want to use not extensive detail of such people does not want to he says didn't even come by and do these prior to this little squabbles which i just don't do on such a mass and that's unusual crap either doesn't have the it's the university and maybe she will come for the millions of populist and you know but i'm good at what's happened right in such a massive what you should look what and this is michelle and. the mission while there now after one of the most of bitterly fought elections in modern u.s. history a new session of congress is a formally convening in of the senate outgoing vice president mike pence has presided over a swearing in ceremony republicans are still control of the chamber for now but that could change if democrats win it to a special elections in georgia on the 5th of january and what you're seeing here now are live pictures and there are the house representatives members are voting on

who issued the lead at the chamber with the democratic party's answer palosi expected to be confirmed later as speaker. and for more on this i'm now joined by our washington correspondent carolina carolina hello to you what is on the agenda for the new congress today. there is the congress is coming together for the 1st time and they 1st have to go through some organization off the congress. congress is going to have tough time administration for solutions by the major event is that they are going to vote for their new speaker the democrat nancy pelosi seeks reelection but it will all depend on how many democrats are able to assist in the joint session because they all have to vote in person in washington d.c. on the house floor this time and this is quite different than the last time they voted on bills they were allowed to vote by proxy that means they were allowed to vote from wherever they were allowing someone else to cast their ballot in person

for them and this was due to the pandemic but for this 1st gathering they have to vote in person so it is not a done deal that palosi is going to win it depends on how many democrats are here in washington today and we also know that the voting already started but we also know that due to the pandemic this warning is going to take a couple of hours some hours because lawmakers are not allowed to appear all together on the floor or they are going to vote in 7 different groups of $72.00 a lawmaker as they have to appear in person one by one speaking out loud the name of polo see only then she's going to be voted by each of them and we also do have an unusual situation in the senate because it still remains unclear whether democrats or republicans were actually control the senate what is the story there. georgia this is going to be really interesting it's going to take place in 2 days

and generally 50 and we're going to see 2 democrats and 2 republicans but for 7 running for 2 senate seats and if the democrats win the old 2 seats they would control the senate because they would have house of the seats of the senate that means 50 of 100 and this would give the vice president come all the harry is a democrat the last word we know that a lot of people have already cast their ballots as a may a ballot mail in ballot and we also know that came out a harris is there in georgia today supporting of course the democratic candidate and then of the other thing i want to ask you is there are about a dozen republican lawmakers are saying that they will object to the formal certification of the presidential election as an effort to overturn biden's victory how big of a threat is back to you think we're talking about senators that are planning to objects this formal certification of joe biden it is probably not going to have an impact it's much more aware as to trump for voters who

supports and who doesn't that is a question behind it clear right carolyn in chinmoy in washington d.c. thank you very much for your reporting. let's turn our attention now to some other stories making news around the world. thousands have turned out in baghdad iraq for a mass rally marking one year since a top iranian commander was kills their general hossam so they might be and an iraqi ally were killed by a u.s. drone strike on january 3rd at 2020 escalating tensions between washington and teheran and its supporters in the middle east. clerics from pakistan the shiite houser and minority are calling for further protests following the killing of 11 miners from their community police say the workers were kidnapped from their coal mine and then executed the so-called islamic state has claimed responsibility for the attack. at least 18 people have been killed after a roof collapse at a crematorium near new delhi officials say dozens of mourners attending

period. the transit. time. how will climate change affect us and our children laugh. dot com slash water. thank. you. governments no that investing money in sports can make them look good it's what's known as sports washing. sports washing which is the attempt by a government to whitewash to cleanse to project

a more positive image of itself than is accurate really an alternative version of events as it were this is not being used as powerful. it can be used for nefarious ends. you're looking at how the government so you score i was bored with gold with whose you could go followed by bike and it woman takes a look at been used to. you know just to have a political pop a it's a way for oppressive governments to rebranding selves qatar is one of the best examples the tiny body. has spent millions not only buying a team but bankrolling its record transfers founding the sports t.v. channel and even obtaining the rights to host the world cup tournaments. but it's a different story behind the scenes the country has been accused of multiple human rights violations have a serious problem with the other gulf states in the violation of migrant workers'

rights the treatment of migrant workers in the gulf got our is. some people talked about it being a form of modern day slavery and this has become far more visible because of that successful with the horse 2022 well. they brought in. hundreds of thousands millions of migrant workers to make up. essentially we're all in the entire infrastructure. and the question of the guest workers is definitely a complex question there is no question about. comes to that writes there has been over the years plenty of question about your. fair enough i mean those who are basically based on some media companies etc but the truth be my standard here not your lousy conditions you know all these might be and we acknowledge that and we acknowledge that as a matter of fact the most recent amnesty international report we have welcomed that human rights watch are welcome to doha on

a regular basis and we receive their criticism very well despite pressure from the international community qatar's atrocious human rights record continues but its financial muscle has cost many countries to look the other way though even if you want to ignore all these problems let's say you're just a football fan and you only care about football well they're also the strong the sport as we know it to stick the for. first major involvement in football was back in 2011 when they. started pumping millions to bring telling to the french capital . most notably orchestrating the 2 most expensive transfers in the world football to date. massive expenditures have translated to domination of french football. have been crowned champion 7 times in the past 8 years. the french league well some say it's a joke. this is. the

day. they were both of them one of the. big huge exposure. and these ridiculous sums of money have turned the transfer market on its head meaning that. fewer clubs will be able to keep up and competes. also hold winter training camps in qatar but rather than benefit from warm weather training the trip more to showcase the country. don't forget the main goal isn't having the wall specifiable it's cleaning up their image so the country has also invested in other teams take f.c. barcelona they probably boast that having a 111 year tradition of not having a paid shirt sponsored. but that all changed in 2011 once qatar offered the club 150000000 euros to display the name of the middle eastern country for 5 seasons. is

it really worth all that money in qatar there's no doubt. there is so much loyalty in football that once we get the associated with a football club it will boost our passenger appeal and at the same time it will give us the. footprint. to expand our footprint into other parts of the world where we are preparing to pull qatar have gone on to sponsor the shirts of italian site roma and belgian clubs. but perhaps the country's most important shirt sponsorship deal at the moment is with german giants are in munich . qatar airways the state on airline paid byron 10000000 years a year and in return the club fly to doha for mid-season training caps they've been doing so since 2011. some by and supporters have a big problem with that they're against their club link with qatar due to the country's human rights record. during matches fans have held banners protesting the

club's dealings with the country and that's happened on multiple locations. express. discontent you know they've become. very they've spoken to. them. gauge the club directly on these issues with very clear what they want to do for the club's higher ups it's business as usual going as far as offending their position. and. how much from cochise. i named the mention of interesting because. the turkish countries are lucky because the country can do nothing or. does he feel are doing a fine job. that's not true. the reality is that.

people. there. are more helpful if they would have. a more realistic assessment of the problem or. if they would actually call for forms that will help. and we don't even need to travel far from qatar to find the next case of sports washing their neighbors in the middle east abu dhabi and the united arab emirates was even a step ahead as the premier league side matches for city back in 2000 and. 90 group transformed the club overnight into the world's richest football club the emirate has spent more than 1000000000 pounds in transfers since buying the club. then vestment has been controversial even until today regarding you. but the cash has delivered positive results on the pitch man city have won 4 premier league title since just like atar. interested in financial profit or after something else

. has virtually serial democracy and has repressive freedom of speech lots 90 percent of the population are migrants and the vast majority of them are paid the bare minimum and live in poor conditions match their city success. a chance to offer an alternative story about the country to the rest of the world. the country paints itself as a top holiday destination. that's also quite easy to do when you know football stars from all over europe vacation that. today investment in man city has turned into something bigger city football group which owns different clubs across the globe. city football group gives a platform to consolidate and strengthen their political influence we have an ambition as well as a football group to work to have an organization that that is global and that will

have multiple clubs part of it so i would say when the opportunity arises and we are looking at opportunities you can expect us also to add to the number of clubs we have already with and within their lives which are all other clubs where similar colors have similar badges they even have the same sponsor as you had airways and that's just one of the 2 of the u.a.e. state owned airlines they're both making big moves in football. emirates is going after the european elites reality the world's most famous and most successful club . what's on their shirt. emirates. the dubai based airline has a myriad of sponsorships and football besides being a real madrid's main sponsor emirates has deals with clubs such as ac milan and feet and arsenal emirates have the longest running sponsorship deal in the premier league as they have sponsor arsenal since 2006 the club's homegrown even bears the

airlines name the emirates stadium and that won't change anytime soon the stadiums naming rights will last until 2028 you may imagine our cars would be one of the groups of supporters from a protest against the involvement of emirates so it's not like the government of dubai or partly relates to the part that buys and. our national reputation has been normalized. over many years. long before the terror sports washing was coined when it comes to sports washing russia are leading the way and they do it through the gas company. on paper as a private company but since 2005 the russian government has own more than half of the company's shares in this league outside shall get have a longstanding deal with the russian company the sponsorship was 1st established in 2007 in a deal worth 150000000 euros. also owns rushing collapse in st petersburg the old conglomerate bought the club in 2005 making the club

a major force in russian football esperance investment mensa needs could make a significant move in the transfer market bringing in players like another marquee c.e.o. axel that still holds and most recently malcolm i think it is we want to show that we are to be more. control. i news the political and that is i think when existential issues command play by which i mean are they going to ruin clubs are they going to rid the game or generally. uses the club and its players for multiple p.r. stunts such as having them play football on an offshore drilling rig these images help glorified gas prices are 3 expeditions and downplay the environmental impact caused by all extraction as well as owning and pumping money into clubs is also a major player in the champions league partnership with you a fire began in 2012 and it was extended until 2021 russia knows how to play the game 2800 world cup powered by none other than guys from what's russia's crown

jewel. what you saw another run up to 2018 was a lot of coverage of. low coverage of the rights abuses. of the not a lot of engagement and that. was the counties will a lot. was how that all vanished as soon as the farce. blew. and i think everyone became captivated by the cult. because we know that they're going to get that far. and there are several i am going to look to hold a successful tournament. to cement their reputation so they'll get a record. history would suggest. they will so what do you think is sports washing a big problem football course it shows the future. volunteering
