Diplomat to visit any legal settlement in the west bank. And hes accused of supporting the occupation the and we begin with the latest on the coronavirus pandemic and the race to find an effective vaccine. British pharmaceutical giant asters anika says its phase 2 trials show, promise in protecting the most at risk groups. It says people over 70 who have been tested have shown a strong immune response that x. Develops without said university, and its in the final stages of human trials. And the last 10 days, 2 other drug makers, pfizer and more data, reported their vaccines are more than 90 percent effective in late stage sheilds. Now, globally, 1000 cases have surpassed 56000000 have been more than 1300000 deaths worldwide, stew 150000 of those in the u. S. , making it the worst affected country by far has been following developments from london on the race for a vaccine. Just published its phase 2 results, which was based on a group of 560 volunteers. Know its phase 3 results, which will be coming in the next few weeks. But the initial results say that this vaccine is generating a strong immune response in adults over 1617. This is a very crucial age group because vaccines dont tend to work as well in older people because as we get older. d our immune systems deteriorate. This vaccine is different from the other 2 that weve been reporting on because it is made from a weakened version of the common cold virus found in chimpanzees, which is then modified to make sure that it cannot grow in humans is given in 2 doses. And so far is reporting in 99 percent africa, c rate. All participants have been gentle generating neutralizing antibody. So it is knocking out the virus in their bloodstream with no reported side effects. And that is very good news here because this is a vaccine that britain is betting on. It has bought 100000000 doses of it so far. And so we are eagerly awaiting the phase 3 result. Whats interesting is that initially this vaccine was one of the front runners, and we thought wed be getting results much earlier. But as we know in the last 10 days, the pfizer bio and tech and the madonna vaccines have pulled ahead and have shown that they are more than 12 percent effective. And whats interesting is that those vaccines use a technology that is completely new, that is messenger r. N. A. But that result, i dont have vaccine results of very promising for all the other vaccines that are still in development. As we mentioned, more than a quarter of a 1000000, people have now died from cold at 19 in the u. S. The highest number of deaths in a single country infections are still rising more than a 1000000 cases have been reported in the past week. The situation is so bad, states in cities are imposing new restrictions. New york city has just decided to close schools to prevent more infections. That speaks of it in washington for a skimpily agree milestone 250000 deaths and experts. So warning that the rate of deaths could actually increase in the next few months. Yeah, some troubling numbers all add another one to a 25 percent increase in hospitalizations in the last week. And this is what is concerning. Health officials is that as we head into the american thanksgiving holiday, that people are going to shun some of what they have been told to do repeatedly better getting tired of doing that is wearing a mask. Also avoiding large crowds. And what theyre also noticing is that people are really pushing back on some of these restrictions that have been put in place designed to contain infections. Namely, some of the business limitations, making sure that people that go to restaurants, they stay there in limited numbers and not for an extended period of time. Now when we talk about some of these restrictions on some of the businesses, what weve also just learned is that thats having an impact on the labor market. The jobless claims numbers coming out and they were higher than what economists were forecasting. So it shows troubling signs for the economy as well. Now, in terms of trying to deal with all of this, we have been reporting on the vaccine, the promise of the vaccine, the u. S. President , tweeting about this, the vaccines are coming. But there seems to be a difference of opinion between the trumpet ministration and the Incoming Biden Administration when it comes to the issue of distribution, the trumpet, ministration, favoring states to try and push this out to the public. Whereas the biden team, looking for a National Plan and feeling the fact that the president has not yet conceded that they have is being hampered. They say even potentially causing deaths in terms of the fact that they cant get this comprehensive plan going. So a lot of controversy surrounding vaccines as we see these rates spiking and we should also point out one other news line that is coming out in the last hour is the fact that the u. S. President has announced that in 3 hours time. There will be a Republican Press conference to announce what he says is a path to victory. So even though of many of these cases of not held up in court, still pressing on no plans to concede, and thats what many people say is hampering these efforts to fight the spike in covert die teen infections in the United States. Kimberly how could in washington thank you. Kona virus infections across africa have surpassed 2000000. The World Health Organization says at least 1000 countries are seeing an increase in infections. The number of cases is thought to be highest since testing rates across the continent are quite know. At a while, havent ization bains a rise in infections in africa, on family gatherings, interactions that work and election campaigns and ideas or is, has more from abroad in nigeria. This seems to be some for tea or some kind of fatigue of the past 2 of africans. We just came back from an election in ivory coast and what you notice there in, across many subsaharan african countries is that people where very few people where most this days, social distancing is still a problem. And crowds gather in large numbers. Most of the people you see in such crowds dont wear a face mask. Experts are warning that as the how much on dusty season kicks in in a few weeks or a few days. Were going to see we are going to see a lot of cases of covered 19 for example in nigeria. For the last 2 months, only a few dozen cases were reported each day. But today, the center for Disease Control yet released its results saying that in the past 48 hours more than 200 cases were recorded and it warned that this could increase as people abundant safety precautions use of trees lost and of course, social distancing the issue of roxannes is good news for me, the africans, but remember, this is a very, very hot continent. Most parts of the continent is very hot. The storage of these boxes is a problem with shortage of electricity supplies. And all that could be a problem delivering such rocks in storage areas. Hard accessible rural areas will also be a contributor effect that while these boxes may not necessarily which people quickly professor say yap. Bloom is a Regional Representative for epicenter africa. The research arm of doctors without borders, he says despite 2000000 cases, a continent has seen a relatively nella death toll is actually 1st of all we need to define what because at just a few, what you see in kenya, for example, number of kids are higher, not done during their 1st with but does for free the markets are no more death. So despite a high number of kids, so knowing the stupid law, not doctor. And we dont really expect to have mention all done previously because the actual target population were trees, the people listed in africa. So how are your population in my still be advantage for the country in africa . It was a 54 countries that because of the, what we are seeing that country like south africa, are still having a new order number of cases as well. Are those countries that are quite close to europe, moral core 70000 kids for the last 2 weeks before libya are 4 and jeery are and so on. But what is interesting us has been mentioning nigeria and how countries like kenya and kenya last week, you have just one day because they were north busy in the hospital to the countdown, e. T.

What are you gander authorities saying about how these deaths and injuries occurred . The police havent given a great deal of detail about that, but the Police Spokespeople and Police Chiefs have blamed people for rioting and for attacking police officers. Although that contradicts things that weve heard from eyewitnesses and also a lot of videos that have been shared on social media from come parlor in the last 24 hours in which weve seen Police Soldiers and security operatives in plain clothes, firing guns directly at people. We dont know what extent theyre using metal bullets or rubber coated bullets. Also a lot of use of tear gas as the police and the Security Forces are trying to break up crowds of supporters of the pop star turned politician. The wind, this hasnt just being the capital kampala, it is also be also be on rest in other parts of the country just a few hours ago earlier today as well as on wednesday when bobby wine was arrested.

So people have said that he hasnt been allowed access to his lawyers or to his medical team. They say theyre concerned that he may be injured or not in good health. And theyre waiting to see if hell be produced before a court. Or if hell be taken discretely back to his home, which is often what the ugandan Security Forces have done with him before and with other prominent opposition.

He spoke to a palace, seen american landowner who expressed his surprise at impales visit to the area. The other highly controversial element of this days agenda has been the visit to the winery i got, which, whose actions in the, in the European Court really pressed presaged. What the change in policy that was announced by pompei last year would be, were joined here by who himself is a palestinian american landowner, as someone who has both u. S. Citizenship and obviously a proud palestinian. How do you view what has been happening today . The u. S. Secretary of state your tax dollars at work visiting this settlement. One thing that surprises us is about 100 meters from here. We welcome barack obama in 2012. He only met with the palestinian leadership, and it was, it was a good visit then. We would like were off to mr. Now with pompei are coming here. Like you said, a u. S. Born citizen, educated u. S. Taxpayer. Many of the people that own the land in the wondering there has been this. That pump is funded, certified some people are u. S. Citizens, taxpayers, a lot of them have have the serve in the u. S. Forces military rangers, the u. S. Marshals service and what is what is asked of us for that though we have rights like these people. Im so the question here is, what is he doing here . Why did he come . Well, i mean, it seems to be another endorsement of the whole settlement enterprise. I mean, do you believe that that will have an impact . There are, some, are arguing that this kind of puts a new element into the legal argument over whether they can be viewed as legal, under international law, pompei or can come, trump can come. Mitch mcconnell can come, Lindsey Graham can come, this is my passport. These are my deeds, theyre not going to be will take it over even my deeds.

This is ridiculous to ethiopia now, and the military says its nearing. Take rays main city in what he calls its final offensive. After more than 2 weeks of fighting with the regions leaders, a Prime Ministers Task Force Says its close to ending the conflict. Lets bring in Mohammed Abdul in addis ababa for so mom it. Weve had in the last few days, claims from both sides that they were making advances, significant advances. What is a Current Situation as you know it, integrate . Whos got the upper hand. Its hard to tell, probably more flights are clearly going to have made progress. But the Government Forces are getting closer and closer to the city of mccullough. A spokesman for the Emergency Task force has said that its just a matter of time before, if you can Defense Forces launch a tux on the city of macan, to and from multiple worlds if youre going to fend for so soon as the ultimate prize in the war goes the to go fight this. It is where they have their main headquarters. It is where the leadership is. But analysts are warning that the bottle for mackillop is not going to be an easy one in hopes of stopping the advancing open. And the fighters are saved of put on the hill some months inside, arming the town hippie weapons. And they are hoping to hold that if europe and Defense Forces of right there are not any closer to the city of mecca. But the government says its using drones accusing throats and all kinds of weaponry. Theyre prepared some of the bridges that were destroyed by the typical of earlier on a few days ago and say, we will take, by all means in the meantime, mohammed thousands have been fleeing to agree in recent weeks and going into sudan. How is the government addressing and responding to the growing humanitarian crisis . Well, until now they wouldnt. They couldnt because the region was completely under the control of the t. P. And of but now that theyre saying theyre taken some towns and have put it to liberate that the western part of to go to a region. They are sending, they say a task force to examine the extent of the humanitarian crisis, which as you can emergent, has really deteriorated. Since the fighting began, even before the fighting began, hundreds of thousands of people in that needed to be fed by the charities. The charities or cannot, or who have not been able in the past 2 weeks crippling mission, the talk of relief would be hard because nor vehicles cutting relief or any other thing allowed into the region. There was also a mention by a spokesman for the much as possible, so i dont know how theyre going to achieve that, that they are planning on returning the refugees. But this, if we do the people who have witnessed a true cities been committed against the move as theyve seen what happened in cities and towns like my kundra, where hundreds of people what behaved with cooed weapons such as and machetes. It would be very difficult for them to the tunnel. Some of the conflict continues Mohammed Abdul reporting there live from addison. Pakistans Prime Minister is in afghanistan for talks with president ashraf ghani, first visit to the country and it comes as peace talks between afghanistan and the taliban have stalled. And theres been ongoing violence between Afghan Forces and the taliban. Is in islamabad, following the story for us. This comes as a very crucial diamond gauge because there is a transition of power in the United States. The u. S. President or drums that did the outgoing president had already mentioned that he wanted to go through. The pakistani Prime Minister was given both sides saying that this was a garden where they are sure of romney saying that there should be a need for both countries. Should move to try to get moved imran khan also saying that it was indeed a head start a development. And he said that bulgers done would do whatever it is possible to do there still be said of honest on and produce while and all of the diplomatic and almost ready votes for the brave there are serious challenger is obviously no one knows what happens within the next 2 months, focused on gordita, the Prime Minister had already played a crucial role in bringing the 1 dollar bond and the us across their day, but from each other. And also played a role in the interest of on dialogue. You know what progress on has said all along that this has to be on the lead on all and buggered done. Also, one set of one is done so and should not be used against any other country. Something that the taliban agreed with the United States goes so deep pockets on the elements driven out by the pakistani military, including by huge insurgents are training on the other side of august on the red warning. Some action from the government senior politicians in the u. S. Have pushing for new legislation to block a 23000000000 dollar weapon sales to the United Arab Emirates. The move is seeking to help president tom stand to sound jones f. 35 fighter jets and to add missiles to the u. A. E. Senators say the sale is rushed and threatens an alms race in the region. Joe joe caviare is c. E. O. Of gulf state analytics. Its a geopolitical Risk Consulting firm focusing on the arabian peninsula. He says theres concern the weapon sales could escalate tension in the region, particularly in yemen and libya. One of the reasons why there is a significant amount of concern in washington about this arms deal, how a city with the fact that the United Arab Emirates is quite involved in not only yemen, but also libya and morality, Foreign Policy views of the these 2 conflicts has been quite controversial if were being very frank, the United Arab Emirates does not exactly have an excellent human rights record. So there are many who think that this development could do a lot to exacerbate many of the problems in yemen and libya. It could also ratchet up tensions in relation to iraq on many, or also pointing out the fact that the u. A. E. Is one of the countries blockading qatar. So the ways in which this could impact the balance of power in the middle east. Obviously, very relevant to the discussions that we have here in washington. But i think its important to point out that it doesnt really seem likely that congress will be able to stop this from happening. It seems that this is one of numerous issues where the trumpet ministration is very aggressively pushing ahead with its agenda during its remaining weeks in power to argentina. Now, where large crowds have gathered in the capital supporting a push by the president that would legalize abortion. The move has reopened a controversial debate in the largely catholic country after similar efforts fail 2 years ago. There are reports from by the size it was accompanying promise made by president albert of the family and is vowing to change the strict abortion laws in argentina. This week he sent a proposal to congress to legalize the procedure activists celebrated, but they know theres a tough battle ahead. And it will have been on the up not head on. We believe we have to be on the streets to continue with the sea of green as we see it. Because we cannot be defeated again in the sun. And we dont know how many senators will vote. In some cases they may adopt their decision to the situation on the street. So we need to be here. Abortion is only legal in argentina in cases of rape, or if a womens lives is at risk. Im in 2018, a bill was passed in the lower house but failed to get Senate Approval on the issue of the controversial. 2 issue in the catholic country and there are some sectors of society, but i dont hold it, but this women here say that youre sick of it happening in applying the family way. And thats why thousands of women are hospitalized every year. Most of those women who have forced to go to robert doctor and end up trying to terminate their pregnancies in back room. You see tears that are unsafe and uniquely human Rights Groups say, legalizing abortion is a matter of public health. And thats why theyre pushing all foodies to take action by turning public buildings green. The color that has come to represent the call to legalize abortion in latin america to some legislator, i already say that they are, they are in favor of abortion. Come on, this is there, maybe they dont fight against abortion and its ok. We know who they are, its ok, but some of the they are doubting and, and we are trying to topple both who are doubting in our that look on means then to solve them. How we think or backward and be nice to finally have that they can, i say somalia face on a far more fun to baffle rob, why angle yanna are the only latin american countries that permeate pregnancies to be terminated in the 1st weeks of the 1000000000 argentina would allow women to have an abortion during the 1st 14 weeks of pregnancy. The measure is also accompanied by a 1000 days surance policy that will assist women who want to have their babies. But the bill faces strong opposition, especially from the catholic church. Both francis compared having an abortion to hiring a hit man, and many in the country agree an orderly. Once again, they are taking abortion law. They want to tell us abortion is the solution for poverty. In argentina, we ask all good argentinians to do what they can on the streets to pressure legislators to oppose the bill. The abortion law cannot make it to congress. The law is likely to be debated in december during an extra sessions. These people say they remain on the streets, pressuring congress to legalize abortion and helping women to get the treatment they desperately need. It is how will this play again, im fully battle with the headlines on aljazeera. They have been promising results from a Coronavirus Vaccine developed by the university of oxford and astra zeneca. The latest phase 2 findings show a strong immune response was triggered in those a
