A few years government says some to Ground Forces are giving up the fight. Fighters say theyre battling on and make a Champions League return for liverpool. The club confirming the egyptian has now tested negative for corona virus. Now, u. S. President elect joe biden plans to reveal more of his cabinet choices within hours after his transition to the white house. Formally began the head of a Government Agency responsible for the process, and finally acknowledge biden as the apparent winner of the election by the polls from washington d. C. This is the letter president elect. Joe biden has been waiting for giving him the federal resources he needs to begin putting his administration in place. Trump loyalists. Emily murphy had delayed for weeks, but monday in this letter, she says she decided on her own. Not the biden was going to be president , but that he can start planning in case he is us president tweeted out. He gave her permission to move forward, adding their own case strongly continues. We will keep up the good fight. But almost all of his legal cases have been quickly thrown out of court. I do think that he did have some interesting legal cases that he could have brought in a lot of these really close states in michigan in pennsylvania. But he didnt bring any of them his, his legal team resorting to these while, you know, series of conspiracy. President trump is also losing momentum in the states on monday in michigan, the results were certified giving joe biden, that critical win. This letter means that biden can now actually plan to be president , but the most important thing is getting all the people who need to be approved to get soetoro approval to get security clearances and there are thousands and thats process has been stalled until now. So the fact that we now have an ability to g. S. A. To begin the process of doing all those clearances and getting all these processes, that means that the, by the ministry, hope we hit the ground running on the afternoon of january 29th. The money will flow to the biden Transition Team. It will enable the team to have offices to have access to the federal agencies that they will be transitioning, the biden teen into officially on january 20th. So its a significant change. It basically means donald trump and his administration recognized that joe biden was the victor in this election. This is important because since the election, every signal from u. S. President and his team has been that he won the election that hes going to continue to live in the white house. This is the 1st indication that he may be beginning to realize that he didnt. And come january 20th, he will no longer call this home to call him aljazeera, you know, the white house. But any suggestion of try backing down was followed up by this tweet. He said, while does g. S. A. Being allowed to do preliminary work with the dems have to do with continuing to pursue our various cases on what will go down as the most corrupt election in american political history. We are moving full speed ahead. Will be finished by saying, well never concede to fake violence and the 1000000, which is a reference to the company which supplies vote counting machines and software live now to our white house correspondent, kimberly how to take it all in the make. It make sense for us. So now that the federal government is working with team biden, does this mean the Transition Team is getting all the privileges it should do in this period . Yeah, thats exactly what is happening. Essentially, this is the beginning of not only the funding but the access, and thats whats really key because many of these positions require briefings. They require Sensitive Files to be handed over. This takes time. And also whats critically important are the background checks, particularly if some of these positions and they will involve top secret security clearances. This is something that cant be rushed. It already is behind, according to some of the biden transition officials. But what we do know is that process now under way hitting the ground running. In fact, the department of defense already confirming on tuesday that it is working with the Transition Team with respect to defense policy issues in order to ensure a seamless transition when it comes to the United States. Defense of the president elect is scheduled to speak in the just under 3 hours. Kimberly, what are we expecting him to say . Well, we expect to given some of the policy or rather the position in the cabinets that have already been announced, that this will be touted once again as something historic in terms of the opportunity of the people that have been selected. For example, we have woman running as the director of national intelligence. Now we also have the 1st latino who will be heading up the department of homeland security. But what were also watching very carefully as president elect biden speaks, is whether he is going to look at these Election Results as a sweeping mandate, or whether he will acknowledge some of the populism that still exists in the United States. And thats going to be very important because there was a lot of soul searching after 2016 for many democrats. Members of the obama administration, who were a little caught off guard by some of the sentiments of the voting public. So it will be important to look at it in terms of the numbers. Both joe biden and donald trump received an historic turnout. 80000000 voters to 74000000 voters roughly. So once again, were going to be looking very carefully not only to see what joe biden says, with respect to that, whether he will try to unite the country and talk about those that supported donald trump. Try to bring them into the fold. But also, one thing that we do know is that hes going to be reassuring americas global allies in trying to restore american prominence on the global stage. Parkin but how could backfire and so much . There are news of potential covert 19 vaccines. Nearing completion has raised hopes and markets around the world, but the aviation industry, it says the damage is already done and it will take years to bounce back the International Air transport association or i after earlier predicted the industry would lose around 100000000000. 00 by the end of 2021 while instead it is now looking like 157000000000. 00. Thats after losing nearly 2 thirds of passengers. The number plummeted from 4500000000 in 2019 to fewer than 2000000000 this year. In an effort to increase international travel, i asked her is calling for better Testing Programs and wants governments to foot the bill. And qantas says it will require International Passengers to be vaccinated once its publicly available. Governments and Companies Worldwide are considering the eventual introduction of socalled vaccination passports, but some experts of questioned immunization certificates, saying people who hesitate to get the vaccine could become victims of discrimination. And they warn, not everyone resisting the covert 1000 vaccine subscribes to conspiracy and anti science movements. They point to past vaccine failures. 3 years ago, a w. H. O. Backed campaign to vaccinate children against dengue fever in the philippines was linked to as many as 600 deaths in 2012. Early vaccines for sars were found to strengthen the virus. Or though this was realized before human trials. In 2009, a vaccine for h one n, one used in europe caused more than a 1000 people to develop the debilitating sleep condition narcolepsy. And in the 1970, s. A u. S. Campaign to vaccinate all americans against swine flu was halted when it was blamed for paralysis. Lets bring in our expert oxana. Physic is a senior lecturer and Global Health advisor at the University CollegeLondon School of pharmacy. And anna blankly is a Research Fellow in the department of Infectious Diseases at Imperial College london. Good to have you both with us. So if we could start with oksana is the resistance to the vaccine in part, at least being driven by the fact that these vaccines are being developed in record time. I certainly think that is at least a part and saxon has it since his story and more so not those who are traditionally antibacterials, but this group in the middle may be provaccine, but just uncomfortable with the current timeline of development and in history. We have not been able to develop a vaccine within 10 months, but one thing i would point out is that also in history that we havent had this type of emergency where all countries in the world have halted to screech. And for every Pharmaceutical Company of the industry coming together, researchers, scientists to focus on a singular problem. There are or 210 gotten candidates in development. So it just shows whats possible when we have urgency and the resources to fund a specific problem. So that 10 year usual timeline is under usual conditions and i think we all have experienced a very unusual 2020. And this isnt what has led to absolutely historic scientific innovation. But for others to hear that it sounds like, well, something must have been skipped Safety Measures must have been caught. Let me, let me jump in. Let me jump in there if i can examine, bring, and i think this is a perfect time to segue into anna, how founded all those concerns about anything being skip to an older, to develop this in, you know, 10 months a year instead of 10 years. Yes. So i actually understand the concern, but the fact of the matter is that theyre the same testing has to go on, no matter what vaccine is being developed. So there are certain Safety Standards that it has to meet and testing in clinical trials. So we cant really cut any corners as like something were saying, obviously a normal vaccine takes about 10 years to develop. But something i think that people overlook is that many of these platforms have been being developed for years now. And its really easy to switch them to a new indication, which is what has really allowed us to make vaccines quickly in this. And the has anything being shortened in terms of testing time though, because obviously testing something over 10 years is not the same as testing it over 10 months yet. So its actually not really the time thats necessarily important. Its the number of people and the outcomes from that. So the reason normally takes 10 years says just because the clinical trials, you know, they and roll out a slower pace. And they can take more time to analyze the data if they need to. But all the same standards are being met with these kind of cult trials just as excited said its all hands on deck now. Right . So everybody who can possibly be contributing to these clinical trials, which makes it a much faster speed. Ok, thats an interesting point. Let me take that back, talk santa, do you think most people will be comforted, hearing that sort of message, or are they going to say, surely, part of the question about the efficacy and efficiency of the different vaccines is how much of a dose do you take over time, surely some effects and side effects show up more with the passage of time and so on. Well, im back scenes and other medicines that are new to the market or are monitored. So this is a standard part of existing for arc of vigilance systems and procedures that take place. And so there are very robust Monitoring System is going to be critical. But actually most of the things wed be most concerned about do typically present themselves in the face 3 part of the trial, which is the largest and most expensive part of any clinical trial. And i think in terms of who will be reassured, i think unfortunately this Anti Vaccine Movement has started far before this pandemic, even so i think this type of, lets look at the facts and cells. No standards have been cut. Speaks more to those who. Ringback are in that vaccine have just agreed they havent made up their mind yet. But theres another group of these anti baxters who really from the ninetys start to build up momentum, to falsify wakefield report. And as a result of that, were trying, we see that in fact, the vaccine has actually decreased there. And there has been an increase, a nice little trend since up to 30 percent highest ever on record. And again, a decrease in back nation. So ironically here we have this paradox where our science, our innovation is the strongest thats ever been and we have more regulatory checks in place. But yet this, this skepticism and this doubt, this lack of trust in central governments is growing. And i think thats a symptom of a much larger problem in code itself. Let me take that to an event. Will we see Vaccine Hesitancy reach unprecedented levels over this whole issue of coded 19 . I mean, some stats i was reading say that the number of people who are not planning or would resist getting a coded 19 vaccine in the us have gone from 70 from 50 percent to im sorry, the people who would take it. Ive gone down from 70 percent to only 50 percent. Yes, so i think the way we look at Vaccine Hesitancy as antibacterial versus probe, actor is kind of wrong actually because i think its much more of a gray area in between. Scientists are taught to be critical of the data and till they see it and can make a conclusion. And i think part of the problem is that the general public doesnt necessarily have the same access to this data or may not be able to interpret it in the same way. So i think its really important personal interest to make themselves available to answer these questions. You know, is it rushed . Is it safe . How do you actually make the vaccine . Whats in it . And this helps to build confidence in vaccines and the Science Behind that. All right, thanks so much to both our guest to anna and oksana in a great discussion. Thank you. Thank you.

It follows a deadline by Prime Minister abu ahmed for them to lay down their arms by wednesday or face an attack on their main city of mecca. But to graze leadership says theyre fighting back and have destroyed the theo military division, including a helicopter and 2 tanks. Its difficult to verify either account because of a communication blackout in the region. Miguel is within the range of it, which means military wise, it is easier to stray. Thats just simply fact there as it has been reduced to lives of people that once that happens in its human that people would take the right choice, a choice which saves themselves the choice was saved their future. So ones to know whats happening, whats actually the brute force, then there will be for this order, which is a course in forms of action and choice of pushing these forces. So it now saving lives in the future. Our new force is getting stronger and more powerful. It is acquiring additional weaponry and building its capacity. Its making history, but this is not a battle of armies. This is a civil war. And all of us has to grans by supporting each other side by side with their army. We must defend this and complete victory. American web is following developments from nairobi in neighboring kenya. So malcolm, a lot of claims and can counter claims, do we know which side is really making progress in this battle . At this point, its very hard to tell because all the Telephone Networks and the internet and been shut off in the region for weeks now. So we only really have these claims and counterclaims to go on. The government said earlier today, as you mentioned it to growing forces were surrendering to its side. That said, it was special forces and militia members who are crossing to the east to the neighboring a far region and surrendering. And following that deadline set on sunday by Prime Minister, gave to Ground Forces 3 days to lay down their arms. That deadline expires in just under 24 hours by now. And Ethiopian Government said those to Ground Troops were coming out. They also said that they surrounded the city of macquarie. Theyre about 50 kilometers away and theyre ready for that final assault. But the great military leaders have said that this isnt the case, that theyre not surrounded and they do claim victory for destroying a division of tanks. Thats what they said. They the chief just today as well. So its not clear exactly whats going on, but the human uns human rights chief did comment on this just a couple of hours ago. She said that she was alarmed about a build up of artillery and tanks around the city of macquarie because of a population of about half a 1000000 people. And certainly if there was to be heavy fighting in or around the city, it could be very dangerous for all of the civilians living there. Talking about civilians marking what we know about claims of civilian massacres. Having been committed just a short while ago. The governments human rights commission, Ethiopian Human Rights Commission, published a report into an attack, reportedly happened 2 weeks ago. It says that 600 non grain civilians were killed. Many of them strangled bludgeoned to death and killed with machetes in a town in the, in the, the western side of the to gray and region. The attack is thought about and 2 weeks ago, it was reported on a few days after by the rights group, amnesty international. Theyd studied videos and photos put together using satellite imagery, and they said that they estimated dozens, or possibly hundreds of civilians had been killed. They said they werent able to identify who was responsible, but some survivors that theyd spoken to fled to refugee camps in neighboring sudan, said the Gray News Group integrated militia were responsible. Now, just a short while ago, this report from the Ethiopian Human Rights Commission is blaming a to grid news group. And they said that it was assisted by local officials, by police and militia. Is saying that theyre responsible for killing 600. 00 civilians in not attack at the time to graze military leadership denied any responsibility when the 1st reports of those killings came out.

Now, they are again stating the fact that they dont accept the results of the elections, even before the final tally is med. And a lot of people are expecting that maybe they will be calling out their supporters on to the streets. And if that happens, it could raise the possibility of violence and even open the window for the armed groups of been attacking booking office for the last 5 years.

Afghan president says hes committed to negotiations with the taliban. Despite those suffering, i want to be big, clear that our commitments to negotiations with the taliban, remain. Our negotiating team remain steady in their commitment. We must bring an end to the violence that is something in robbing our children of the joy of is in eastern afghanistan. All it takes is just to go out of all out the Afghan Capital to realize that after almost 20 years of International Support to this country and billions and billions of dollars that have come in this country, afghanistan is still in need of International Aid on many fronts, weve been to places that i have been ravaged by war. Theres so much destruction, so much back and what the people were telling us there is what they really want and need is a hospital. They have not hospital and a school because what they have is so small and it cannot accommodate all those hundreds and thousands of children that they have in the area. And this is happening 19 years after the International Community came to afghanistan. So theres still so much to be done and weve already seen countries making their i just to afghanistan, for example, that you can pledge 105000000 or 2000 and 21. 00. I think that it will be used for Development Programs in press structure programs and Holding Health services. The European Union so far has pledged the biggest amount on 1500000000. 00. And the European Union has a vested interest here to see the country being able to see more development because it is hosting millions of afghan refugees who are leading up to an extent trying to find a better life on that. You continent, former militia, leader in the democratic republic of congo, has been sentenced to life in prison for war crimes, and to bury shaker was charged with murder, rape, sexual slavery, and enlisting child soldiers in north kivu province. His rebel group and 2 others are accused of nearly 400. 00 rapes during a series of attacks in 2010. His trial by a special military court began 2 years ago. Not to let out the 7 colors that many eastern to your city has never experienced a trial on this level. Its a historic moment has been found guilty of war crimes. He is someone that no one thought they would ever see in the dark. So just for that, its a huge step forward for justice system. So yes, there are certain aspects of the verdict which we are not so happy with. For example, the recognition of the crimes against humanity for rape in a long time. But the fact remains that in general, it is a very positive verdict and a great message for the victims that justice is being served. Thomas fasc is a Senior Researcher with human rights watch. He says this case will give confidence to civilians affected by is of conflict. This verdict has sent me a major step in the fines against impunity in congo, i think this trial as a sign that this fight the many challenges the congolese judiciary was actually capable of taking on such a complex case, such a high profile case and that you know, with multiple Security Issues at stake, and that sits sort through. And so thats a major step counts ability in congo. And it also goes to show you that, you know, the work of the many survivors, an activist who took great personal risks in the pursuit of justice, actually paid off victims and the families who see that, you know, the crimes have been acknowledged, have been recognized. And that their suffering has been recognized that that is the 1st part, the 2nd part is obviously, and that now to see that the reparations that the court has ordered it, in favor of the victims, will actually reach the victims. And there is still a lot of work to do in that regard. Each time thats of course, is altering reparations for the teams. It is extremely rare that the victims actually see any penny of it. Now the European Union has reached another deal to secure millions of covert 19 vaccines. Leaders are expected to sign an agreement with the American Biotech company, more data to supply up to 160000000 doses.

And russia says its sputnik 5 code 19 vaccine has proven 95 percent effective in clinical trials. It says the 2 dose who knock elation will be sold internationally, for less than 10. 00 and will be free for russian citizens. In the u.

And they are traveling across the country to see family and friends for thanksgiving. Kristen salumi reports from new york getting together for a big meal in person with loved ones is what the thanksgiving holiday is usually about. But given, traveling and eating together are considered high risk activities in a pandemic. Public officials are encouraging people to play it safe. But Public Service announcements like this one while here in their virtual and warnings like this one. This is not a normal. Nationwide, daily coronavirus hospitalizations are at record highs in the United States and deaths continue to climb. You put that rate of increase together with an additional increase from the high level of social activity. That is a dangerous situation even in new york with one of the lowest infection rates in the country. Private gatherings are being officially limited to 10 people, amid reports of large forbidden events like this orthodox wedding, attended by thousands.

A soldier hasnt served as irans top civilian leaders since the 1979 islamic revolution, 63 year old devil, and has a long military history. He served as a commander in irans revolutionary guards and didnt say, a force during the war with iraq in the 1980 s. , he played the pivotal Decision Making role with the revolutionary guards. Their plan was also the defense minister and the president Hassan Rouhani. Before moving on to become the Supreme Leaders advisor.

Very people think that this can be a Strange Point to tackle with the corruption or management mismanagement in the country. Despite being a military man, he enjoys a tone, a diplomatic tone that when he talks on foreign Foreign Policy issues, but on the other had a hand, he has also weaknesses.

Now the greek island vastly polya, is experimenting to see if Renewable Energy can be used to transport german carmaker volkswagen, and the greek government say if successful it can help europe revolutionize transport and reduce carbon emissions. Aljazeera as John Psaropoulos reports, but in your view says he works 365 days a year and so does his car carrying feed corn and water to his goats spread across many hillsides. To do this, he spends at least 7000 dollars a year on diesel. So the idea of an electric car that costs less to run appeals to him. If something is good for this island, not that it should happen. If it doesnt bother the goats and the grazing grounds and its good for the island that it should happen. German comic a volkswagen. It will sell people as that trick cars and factory prices, which the greek government will further subsidize charging stations will be installed in the islands parking lots. The idea is to eventually make all transport electric and to create a system of mobility on demand, whereby people can book a ride on a publicly owned car or scooter through a mobile phone app. Theres no need for everybody to own a car today. 5 kilometers, having 3 kilometers there.

The man who wants to go further, like most islands, is powered by diesel generators during peak demand in the summer. They burn up to 7000 liters of fuel a day. Its an expensive way to produce electricity and electric mobility would further raise demand.

We worried that an enormous corporation could upset that for the next 5 years, electric cars will be so cheap here, though, undercut conventional ones.
