Demick exacerbates a guy situation. Vironment groups face off against Oil Giant Shell that a dutch caught in a bid to force it to meet emissions targets and install a liverpool manager calls to introduce a concussion following the horrific clash of heads between war and us arsenal. Now we begin this news round where the parliament has passed a draft motion to halt, unrestricted access by the National Atomic Energy Agency to its nuclear science. The proposed changes could allow iran to resume uranium enrichment at levels of 20 cent under the 2050 nuclear deal that the United States, of course, pulled out of iran was limited to below 4 percent. I said, joins us now from tehran. This is quite a Significant Development in the relationship between iran and the absolutely. So the conservatives that hold the majority in parliament passed this with 251. 00 votes. They want to restrict the i. A. E. A. Inspectors. Kerney i. A. E. A. Inspectors have access to Iranian Nuclear sites without any prior notice. But also they want to bring your ring him and reached to 20 percent, which would be quite concerning for the i. A. E. A. And the United States and the europeans. However, just because they have passed, this doesnt mean its going to happen because the government president hasnt rouhani and his reformists have opposed this. Weve had the Foreign Ministry spokesman this morning saying this is neither helpful or necessary. Weve had the Government Spokesperson come out and say, well, parliament doesnt have a say in this. They dont decide whether this happens or not. Thats down to the Supreme National Security Council. So this still has to go forward to disapprove the Guardian Council and then ultimately, the Supreme National Security Council will decide. But within this motion, there is a kind of get out clause that gives 2 months for it to be implemented actually gives time for president elect joe biden to come into office and issue executive orders as foreign minister divides reefer said to go to overturn what donald trump has done over the years, but if that happens, if the Supreme National Security Council does accept this, and the President Joe Biden presented, joe biden, doesnt issue those executive orders returning the u. S. To the deal and lifting sanctions. Then specters will be stopped from entering irans Nuclear Sites. Or thanks so much there. Lets continue this now and bring in hes a professor of Tehran University and the managing director of iran, diplomatic, a news website good to have you with us. So this is past parliament, is it going to come into full effect then . Hello sammy and my best to your viewers. Of course, if it passes by the garden concert, yes, it will come to earth, but as your guest just said, the government would have about 2 months time to implement this law. Of course, if buy them off, this implements american law here takes away american sanctions. And return to the, just a few or may be at that time remembering this would stop. But if this does not happen, the iranian government will have to implement its because according to the law, that is a sentence which says that if any person in the government does not implement it, he may be this charge of office or will go to prison. He then, so how marge schott iranian policymakers really counting on a biden presidency, turning around the whole relationship a little with the u. S. Excuse me. I didnt hear you are saying that, well, its given everything thats happened in the relationship between iran and the us to what extent are rainy and policymakers really counting on the Biden Administration . Well, i dont think the conservatives are or arent doing a lot, but whats as i, as, as for my analysts, this is that everyone is gathering the costs for new, lets say negotiations for new talks, not negotiating on a. But if there is that debates going to happen, everyone would need to have a new carts. And this little whod give the iranian government, even though the iranian government wasnt good, but could do you that good carts to use in and it debates with us, especially cant think that we are going told new elections in iran within the next 6 months. Well have a new president , and probably the new president will be from the conservatives if the situation goes on like this, and he would need discourse to use to bargain on with the americans or with the other sites. If mr. Biden, im so office and he implements american commitment to remove the sanctions over iran and helps mr. Rouhani is government. We may have a chance. The moderates could have a challenge against the conservatives in the elections. Otherwise, whats happening right now is that the conservatives will win the president ial elections. From the iranian perspective, do you think the iranian side would be satisfied with simply a return to the j. C. P. O, a, or the iranian side. Want now some new conditions and safeguards to make sure the u. S. Doesnt pull out of the agreement again later in the future. Not for the iranian side, its not important that us comes back to the just or not. Even if maybe its better for iran that us does not come back to whats important for iran is to remove the sanctions and implement the Security Council order number 2231 by the u. S. Even if u. S. Doesnt come back to do just that. Its fine with iran. Iraq just wants the sanctions to be removed, nothing more. And but the main problem right now for any negotiation or any talks or any debate, even between iran and us, is that there is no confidence here in iran from the, from the american side. The iranians will be afraid that they need to reach a deal with the American Government and another cover much will come like trump. Maybe well come back and then pull out of the agreement and cancer and all the other agreements will assert by the nz government should give some assurances to the iranians if they want to have talks with the iranians. That if any deal is made, the americans will abide by the deal and will implement it more a good your analysis on that. Thanks so much for your outcome. The final 2 contested states, wisconsin and arizona, have certified their Election Results in favor of joe biden. The process is normally a formality but took on an added significance as President Trump continues his baseless claims of electoral fraud. Kryten salumi reports the governor of arizona, a republican, makes it official signing off on Election Results, declaring democrat joe biden. The winner in his state, by just over 10000 votes, arizonas secretary of state assured voters the election was conducted by the book, caring feet, accuracy and fairness. In accordance with arizonas law and elections procedures, despite numerous unfounded claims to the contrary. Those claims coming from none other than President Donald Trump and his personal attorney, rudy giuliani, who met with some Arizona State republicans still looking for evidence of fraud that is yet to materialize. While the president s supporters gathered outside 4 out of 5 legal challenges waged by republicans in arizona have been dismissed by the courts. In wisconsin, the president s Campaign Paid 3000000. 00 for a recount in 2 counties, but that only turned up more votes for biden. And that state too, has now officially been certified for the democrats. A recount is essentially an audit of the process that verifies the accuracy of the balloting process. That takes place on election day or promise that this would be a transparent fair process, and it was both wisconsin and arizona one by trump in 2016. This makes joe biden the 1st democrat to win a president ial election in arizona since 1996 President Trump has 5 days to contest the results there and in wisconsin, which he is expected to do. Christen salumi, aljazeera wilmington, delaware . Well joining us from birmingham is scott lucas. Hes a cofounder of america, unfiltered a new science on american politics and Foreign Policy. Good to have you with us if we could focus perhaps a little bit on the economy too. Is President Trumps insistence to continue fighting the election result casting any shadow on the economy . Do you think . It certainly doesnt help dealing with what needs to be done about the economy, including in the midst of a pandemic, your viewers will probably remember that trump held up the transition to the incoming biden team for ways as he put out his baseless claims about election fraud. Now he has reluctantly allowed that transition to proceed, but the biden folks are having to carry out extensive talks with u. S. Agencies from health and now from health and Human Services to homeland security, to the treasury. To try to establish what needs to be done in an american economy, which has although it recovered somewhat in the autumn, been hit hard this year like many economies down about 89 percent below where it was in february. As well as, of course, the far from incidental fact that almost 270000 americans have died, and that number is increasing sharply likely to reach 400000 by the start of february biden. As we know, he appears to be more cautious in his approach to tackling coronavirus than donald trump, at least. Do you think this will translate into any more restrictions on what is the Worlds Largest or 2nd largest economy . Depending on what measure you go by these days, i think it will translate into trying to coordinate and join up what is happening so that you dont have an individual state by state approach. But youve got federal guidance for a uniform approach across all 50. And the district of columbia, one of the big failings of the u. S. Government this year, has been that the federal government is almost divorced from what was happening on the ground. Because the planning by the scientists, the Public Health advisers were being quassia. Donald trumps inner circle, as you continue to insist to insist, there isnt a problem with corona virus, but i do think that you know, we have a roach will be though, by the federal law. The 1st, the issue is that you implement social distancing measures. You implement measures to contain the virus which include the wearing a mask in public places, which include guidelines on when you need to close public spaces or restrict them such as bars and restaurants. When you have a spike in the virus. In other words, the steps that the White House Run of a task force has been calling for since spring, but we should not been fully implemented. So its not that the plans are not they are its not that people like dr. Deborah burkes, dr. Anthony. The centers for Disease Control had not put the guidelines down, they just were blocked from implementing them. The other development that led to this is, is that finally dollhouse medical confidant, a man named scott atlas, who had no qualifications, nobody meola g. He has resigned, hes left after 4 months. So, you know, atlas pretty much was the one who had troops here and was blocking the efforts of the professionals. Hes now gone as an obstacle, and now you have the biden folks who are ready to hit the ground running. I guess you could say that trump all to defend not change the u. S. Is cold when it comes to some aspects of global free trade. When you think biden will leave the u. S. On that . Well, i guess i think its a question of bringing the adults into the room. What you had in the trumpet ministration was not as much a joined up economic policy, but it was almost a willful policy. By trumpeters advisors, which is all right, were not talking about global trade here. We dont like china trade war to not look at, for example, the issues of the European Union after a break to say we dont like European Union sanctions even to impose sanctions on partners like canada and mexico. So this idea was pretty much to sort of shake amount of macho 1st, rather than deal with the questions of the United States within a global economy, be in it, europe, the middle east, or asia, that was already facing major challenges before this years pandemic. All right, good to get your analysis on that. Thanks so much, scott lucas, and you sent me plenty more still ahead on the news hour, including the struggle of adjusting to life in a refugee camp. Why some ethiopians are throwing away their food in sudan, destroying the planets lungs and alarming level of deforestation in the brazilian amazon. And the formula one World Champion was be competing at sundays grand prix in behind. Well tell you why. Later in the sports show, us president dog trumps crown a virus advisor scott that list has resigned after 4 months in the post atlas repeatedly downplayed the importance of mosques and described lockdowns as an epic fail in the he was criticized by Infectious Diseases expert. Anthony felt she would cues that less of giving the president , misleading, or false information on the pandemic. A 2nd u. S. Drug maker more than a has announced its all skin regulator is that im going the European Union for emergency approval for its covert 19 vaccine. Well then it says its final trial results confirm. Its more than 94 percent effective. Its a week behind pfizer fueling hopes the u. S. Could have to approve vaccines by the end of the year. But its gaboriau others on the reports. There are also growing concerns about the approval process. A 2nd Coronavirus Vaccine now awaiting approval by u. S. Regulators. Moderna announced its vaccine is ready and if approved for emergency use, the company will start rolling out the 1st doses of the vaccine. By late december, we have worked very closely with a question about speed. And as we said, you know, we should have a, its going to be done. Those is a baby under a year. So as soon as we get approval or these teams are going to get all of a vaccine, we have and start shipping it in the country. Is goal is to vaccinate americans with 24 hours. Moderne is a small Pharmaceutical Company based in cambridge, massachusetts. That has never successfully brought a vaccine to market. It got a big jump on its competitors because it started working aggressively on a covert vaccine back in january. The very day china released the genetic data on the corona virus. That early foresight is now paying off the company saying it hopes to produce as many as 500000000 covert vaccine doses next year alone. Earlier this month, new york based vaccine maker pfizer and its german partner by and tech announced its vaccine was also being submitted for approval and could roll out 50000000. 00 doses this year. With pfizer, we have the f. D. A. Announced an Advisory Committee for december the 10th. And if everything is on track, everything proves out what, what it appears to be. We could be looking at approval within days after that. Madonna is basically one week behind that distribution of the vaccines could be a challenge that is fast approaching. The vaccines must be kept in cold temperatures at all times during transport and storage, or face the risk of spoiling and being ineffective. But it doesnt matter how many vaccines are available. If people decide they dont want to take them. Here in the United States, one poll showed that nearly 40 percent of americans said they have no plans to take the Coronavirus Vaccine. And within minority communities, particularly blacks and latinos, the distrust runs even deeper. With this same poll showing that nearly half said when it comes to the back scene. No, thanks. On monday, new York Governor Andrew Cuomo said more outreach needs to be done to build trust with minorities, to take the vaccine blackstar to twice the rate that whites start. Brown died one and a half times the rate that whites died. They are less served by the health care facilities. We need a special outreach effort. Federal government has provided no funding to do that. But Global Health Officials Say its a problem around the world. Yes, you know, around the world in general and about comic books in particular at this scene is growing for out there. But there is growing anticipation of the vaccine rollout. Health officials caution it will likely be several more months before distribution is ramped up to meet Global Demand to truly have a chance to end the pandemic once and for all gabriel sandow aljazeera, new york, the world health organizations, director general, says mexico is in bad shape as corona, virus infections and deaths continue to rise, hes urging serious action to stop the spread of mexico is the 4th country to have, more than 100000. People die from covert 19. According to the u. N. , at least 7 of mexico citys Public Hospitals are full capacity. Croatias Prime Minister has tested positive for covert 19, under a plank of which had already been isolating after his wife tested positive at the weekend. The government has tightened restrictions on people traveling into the country. In the u. K. M. P. s say its a vote on proposals for a tier system of restrictions in england. Millions could face a ban on gatherings when the lockdown ends on wednesday comes as senior government minister, Michael Goves says there are no plans for people to be required to have a vaccine. Passports were 10 public events, or brennan joins us now live from london. So as Parliament Heading on this, well, this is the process that parliament has to go through to essentially ratify the announcement that was made last week by the Prime Minister. How britain transit transitions from the National Lock down that were currently in which finishes tomorrow into the next stage and the Prime Ministers vision. The governments vision is that we should return to a system of tears. 212223 slightly differently distributed to the original tier system from back in october and so many peoples minds a little bit too tough. Many m. P. s, particularly conservative m. P. s from the governments own side, are concerned that because its been done on a large regional basis areas within one region being put into wanting, regardless of whether theres a big discrepancy between infection rates in one area of that region compared to another area of that region, then theres a, theres a lot of angst. Whats interesting is that the opposition parties have chosen to abstain in deceived things. Vote in about 67 hours time and that puts all the focus on the internal wrangling within the ruling. Conservative party itself between the can, between a government that wants to persist with this and m. P. s from their own party who are not convinced that its working. And i am convinced that theres evidence to support it. Another interesting thing, paul official saying theyre not planning a vaccine, or that means there wont be any kind of vaccine requirements to enter public places. Well, its a good question and we dont have an answer to that. You know, this idea of a covert vaccine passport was floated by the Airline Industry as early as the summer because of the losses that they were making with people unable to travel. And it was thought that if you could prove that you were effectively immune from corona virus, you could be able to travel that has knock on effects, for example, lines of course, but sports stadiums, theaters supermarkets, theoretically, anywhere where you have a gathering of people. How can people be brought back into those environments safely . The idea of a coronavirus passport has been raised, especially now the testing has been ramped up and the Coronavirus Vaccine appears to be on the horizon. But there are ethical issues over this. You know, does the government want to compulsive make this compulsory . Clearly the government doesnt, but private businesses insist on people having a vaccine and being able to prove it with some kind of id card or vaccine passports, potentially yes. And that leads to all kinds of ethical questions about exclusion compulsion. You know, where is the personal choice in all of this time will tell, i guess, Uncharted Waters but thanks so much. Paul brown, the United Nations, is warning a record 235000000 people will require humanitarian aid over the coming year. The demand for food and other assistance is grown more urgent and widespread because of the effects of the coronavirus pandemic, where the u. N. Says tens of billions of dollars will be needed. Our diplomatic effort to james bay is now around the world. More people are suffering hardship than ever before. Every year it seems when the u. N.

The final 2 contested us states, wisconsin and arizona have certified their Election Results in favor of joe biden. The process took on added significance as President Trump continues is baseless. Claims of electoral for the United Nations is warning a Record Number of people 235000000 will require humanitarian aid. Next year, the need for food and assistance has grown more urgent and widespread because of the pandemic. Now a whistleblower in china has leaked documents which show Health Officials misled the public for months over how serious the coronavirus was. According to files seen by c. N. N. And verified by 6 experts, the reported number of cases was lower than what was contained in terminal documents. C. N. N. The documents dont indicate intentional withholding of information for rather a mishandling of what officials believed and what was reported to the public. Katrina you is in beijing. So this is potentially quite embarrassing. What other details are emerging from these documents . Well, the report paints a picture of the Health System in crisis during those early days of the outbreak. And one that was underfunded, understaffed and blown down not only by bureaucracy, but also a dysfunctional culture, where officials were afraid to report the extent of the break. That was quite a hefty document that was leaked about 117. 00 pages. And it said to come from crew based center for Disease Control. And among the key findings was a significant discrepancy in the numbers that the public were given. The numbers that were circulated internally, for example, february the 7th. According to the document, there were 5900 cases of carbon 19 or so, but the public were only given a number of about half of that. Similarly, in march 7, there were about 2900 deaths reported to the public, whereas internally, the document noted about 3400 deaths. Now this was according to apparently a lack of standardized criteria when it came to reporting, which allowed officials to basically pick and choose the number that they wanted to reveal to the public. Another finding was about testing that there were huge problems in those early days around testing accuracy. And on average, it took the Chinese Government about 23. 00 days to come to a false or negative test results. And much of the time those test results were also potentially giving false negatives as well. Another finding was that during december 29000. 00, just before the magnitude of the epidemic was made known, there was an influenza epidemic in not only rouhani, but 2 neighboring cities. Its not known, and thats connected to carbon 19, but it could be very pertinent to the investigation guarding the origin of the virus. And finally, potentially, the more as damning finding was around the mechanism that china has put in place around reporting epidemics that are occurring in china. After 2003, the Chinese Government said it invested millions of dollars into in putting a mechanism in china to make sure that Something Like the sars outbreak didnt happen again. But according to this document, the mechanism that was put in place was slow or ineffective. And ultimately led to a few missteps that could have led to this pandemic spiraling out of control. Now the Chinese Government has always maintained that its been transparent that it acted, but that it acted quickly in responding to this outbreak in this document is embarrassing because it seems this is to suggest exactly the opposite of it suggests otherwise. And its really going to add to pressure from the International Community to beijing to allow will help Organization Officials access into china to investigate the origins of carving 1000. So far as far as we, nor officials have only been given very limited independent access to official data. And official records. Thanks so much. Katrina, you the leader of ethiopia is to agree region is warning. The conflict between his forces in the National Army is not over. Prime minister abu ahmed claimed victory over the 2. Great Peoples Liberation front on saturday to p. L. F. Leaders. Fighting is continuing on every front. Theyre accusing abby of trying to deceive the International Community. Tens of thousands of people have fled the fighting in ethiopia, or for refugee camps in neighboring sudan. But adjusting to the sudden lifestyle change is proving difficult. A the agencies say there is enough food to go around, but many say their nutritional needs are not being met. How many has the details . The different by hunger, refugees queue for lunch at the camp. The food is prepared and served by relief groups with the help of refugees. But the choices are limited. Look at this, these people have been living on lentil soup with a portion of sorghum pirate for 20 days. This type of food doesnt necessarily suit everyone that i didnt hear. You know, we have only this type of food that you see here. I had it for 14 days. Now people are throwing it away. They dont want it anymore. The World Food Programme is the main provider of aid relief in the camps. It says every registered refugee gets enough to eat. This is the main food store of the w a p Program Inside the camp. They say what is available here is enough to feed 8000 people for an entire month and more is coming soon. So according to them there was no shortage of food in the camp. Russians include bread sort of gum lentils, who can go oil, salt and food supplements for newborns and nursing mothers. This is early. Hopefully well get all of these people off the porridge as quickly as possible. The key is we get them registered. And then as soon as thats the case, then we will be giving them monthly russians will be able to manage it themselves. 75 year old barely starts eating when he abandons his meal. But a few in the camp are being creative. This woman was a government accountant. Shes 6 months pregnant. She has boycotted the porridge and started a little food business of her own. Never ate this type of food back home. We simply dont know if we can take it since i had a little bit of cash. I wrote some meat flour to make bread, and that suits my tastes. Little bread and soup for her family and whats left over using the money to buy more supplies, supplying the demand for food people here want to eat while aid groups do what they can to manage the humanitarian crisis. 105 aljazeera the account for if you open to the few g. s in sudan, egypts Public Prosecutor is suspending an investigation into the killing of an italian student in 2016.

Now at a 12 year high, Scientists Say the rate of clearing has accelerated since a giant ball so narrow became president of brazil, and weakened environmental protections. Alexander m. P. I. 3 reports from bogota, colombia, from the sky. Large swaths of brazils amazon are increasingly looking like this. With long patches of rain, forest destroyed by fires and logging, and its getting worse. New Government Data shows the level of destruction is rose almost 10 percent this year to more than 11000 square kilometers, equivalent to 7 times the size of london. Its the highest level in 12 years. And monday, brazils Vice President promised to fight to destruction. Point 6 percent is not a number to celebrate. On the contrary, as i said here, i desire is not to have illegal deplores station at all inside the amazon. This is what were fighting for, but environmentalists believe the government is to blame since taking office 2 years ago, president jacques made it clear down there is watch. The amazon was opening to business and development. He weakened the countrys environmental and forced mint agency and called for more farming in mining in protected areas. Which critics say has emboldened illegal ranchers in miners to clear the forest that have been built in brazil over. But we have president s that exist of Climate Change. A growing International Outcry led by European Countries a special scenario to send the military into the region to fight the forestation, but little has changed. Now, critics hope the election of joe biden as u. S. , president willing crease the pressure given his strong stance on Climate Change. But just days ago, both took an indirect swipe at biden, in its policy in the rain forest. I recently heard a president ial candidate from a country say that if i dont put out the fire in the amazon, hes going to restrain barrys against brazil. How do we deal with all of that . Diplomacy is not enough. When there is no more saliva then there must be gump. But they have to know that the amazon is ours. Thats what the world is like. Nobody has what we have. It will be difficult to convince a defiant bull scenario to change course, but with the effects of Climate Change looming. Many believe its a fight on which the health of the entire world depends. Alison and staying with the climate crisis. A cold case is underway in the netherlands, a Group Called Friends of the earth is taking all giant shell to court, trying to force it to reduce its carbon emissions. The environmental activists accuse shell of threatening human rights by knowingly undermining International Climate goals. 7 groups are involved in the case representing more than 17000, dutch citizens. Joining us from london is sarah shore. Shes the Climate Justice and Energy Program coordinator for friends of the Earth International good to have you with us. So let me play devils advocate here and tell you, im sure you know, shell says its playing its part in the transition to a green, a world. Where do you feel its failed . So if i think to say this is a really historic case, a pain in a court in the hague, the haiti state seeking to hold on the worlds biggest polluters to a cat. And were taking shelter caught because shells causing dangerous Climate Change. And they were sued is unique because theyre not asking for compensation or asking pretty change course. And to go to your other question, shao has known for decades and we know this because of its own historic documents, as far back as 950. 00 s. , but its actions are causing Climate Change. Shells currently still planning to continue oil and gas extraction for the coming years. Even though we know that the dangerous Climate Change, the vast majority of those reserves must remain in the ground. Shells continue to vest around 95 percent of its funds in will and gas. So its very much responsible for the climate process. Theres a very small amount that its investing in renewable. Its refused to take action, and thats why were in the position of taking shot to court to force change hits her abdomen. Come here today because shell says they are taking action. They say in april they revised their targets to reduce its c o. 2 emissions by 30 percent. 520202035. Are they taking action . Well, i think if youre planning to expand your, your fossil fuel, you or your oil reserves by 20 percent by 2030, that runs against the grain of reducing emissions as dramatically as we need to reduce them. So were demanding in this lawsuit that shell commit to reducing its emissions by 45 percent by 2030. And thats in line with trying to keep global temperature rise below 1. 5 degrees. Its so what shell is proposing is insufficient. Its completely insufficient and is have many decades in which to take much more drastic action and to change its business arrangements. And it is not done say, do you think youll win this case . Well, we would be taking the case on if we didnt think we had a chance of success in this case, this case is based on a precedent that was set by another case last year, the hender case, which, which the dutch appear, who, where it was ruled that the dutch state had to reduce its emissions by quarter by the end of 20 twentieths for such state to actually revise its conduct. Hasnt a corner takes quite drastic action this year in order to comply with that ruling. So were hopeful, of course, that based on that precedent, that we can apply this to one of the worlds biggest polluters. And we, you know, we will, we will fight this case. And i have no doubt that it will go higher regardless of the outcome. Only if you come to wondering can shell, or any oil Company Energy company argue that yes, we are increasing our investments, but thats a wrong measure of how committed we are to agree in the world. Because at the same time we might be increasing investments in, you know, the Car Fossil Fuel industry, but that industry is becoming cleaner and were making the changes too to ensure that it c o 2 emissions are less. Can they make that argument . I dont think they can make that argument. I dont think they can rely on sort of the idea that these fields can be made clean. The reality is that we are facing a real climate catastrophe that is already hitting hard and its not enough just to tweak your Business Model of exploiting those, those fuse of fuels of the past not fuels the future. So if the largest polluter in the netherlands, its more than twice the 2 to see it here. The whole netherlands combined and the 10 largest climate polluters in the world. And theres a mere 25. It produces that account for just say the half of the emissions in the past 3 decades. They are not changing fast enough. They have not taken the opportunities to change. And so our hope is that this litigation will not only have impact in this particular case against shell, but it will spark a wave of climategate label a against big fossil fuel producers who are continuing their destructive ways. We see come into question, is there a front line and you front line against big polluters . Its been more than 1000 cases. Climate cases far. Who are right this year, many of them by friends of the earth groups in fact. And we do, you hate that this case will set those important precedents who took out the big polluters as well. Michele all right, thanks so much for your thoughts on that sarah shore there. And keep biologists have discovered a new way Artificial Intelligence can help fight disease deep mind. A london based Artificial Intelligence lab says it can now predict how proteins fold into 3 d. Shapes. Within a matter of days, shapes have baffled scientists for 15 years. Proteins are chains of a minor acids that twist and bend into a variety of shapes. Understanding and predicting their structure can determine how they affect cells. The discovery is seen as a breakthrough in the fight against diseases including cancer, dementia and cope with 19. Hi came on the college experts current therapeutics. He says hes optimistic about his potential uses. There are over 40000 routines in this. So these are all normal scale sequences of amino acids. As you sit at the very fluffy and then we try to bend around themselves. Several times before theyre start forming the scalpel. Thats coupled with for, into rigid structure, which you called with to restructure it. Nice. Now we know how they look like and we know of that interact with other proteins in the cell. And because we know that we can actually question of their function in this also, we can actually question how many other potential chemicals drugs can bind to them, can attach themselves to them. And one of these of touch mut, what would be the consequence of the function of these proteins . This will allow us to move even faster for Drug Discovery against many diseases. Because now we care know all of these even look like what all the shades in matter of days. You have to remember that there are so many things eases that we couldnt tackle. We couldnt win the war against them because we didnt have an insight on how the disease truthy in themselves, look like to be able to find a drug against them. Well, still ahead on aljazeera. In spalding the Olympic Rings, a bag he tells with, after the break pride sports fans its time to catch up with the game. His son. Thank you very much. A Samuel Liverpool manager, yogen club, has a bass coals to introduce a concussion substitute in a football following the horrific clash of heads involving wolves given as an arsenal that lewis, on sunday, the mexican forward existed the game and a, ive been operational on his call. While you is continued playing till half time off to passing an on field concussion check, this is what klopp had to say when asked about the matter ahead of his size Champions League group game against i x late on tuesday. Yes, i am honestly in that moment i didnt think about a rule change or whatever it just was sitting there for 10 minutes and waiting that both get out. Im not sure if to do new rule with a concussion substitute would have helped in that moment because the player can play on. I was a player myself, i had a few different injuries my life and, and these kind of things. So if the player feels completely fine, a concussion protocol is fulfilled, then i think it would have played on anyway. But yes, it makes sense that we can do things like this. Well, leagues can apply to start concussion stuff, just trials from january with england expected to begin testing them next season. The body that would decide on the rule is the International Football association board. Thats the organization that determines the laws of the game. And everyone including the premier league would have to follow all concussion substations are themselves, are nothing new to spoil all forms of them already exist in the likes of rugby union and cricket or joining us is vincent, the chief medical officer of the world, players union, 54 wins and 1st of all. How would concussion substitute work . Impressive . Can you explain to our viewers . Well, a concussion is a difficult injury to recognize and to assess on and off field. And there is a different way to go when it comes to concussion situation. Just of all you have concussion them and then to petition saw a player always come, cursed, or potentially conquest is removed, forms a few play permanently until the end of the game in order to make sure that or she saves, says one approach. And this approach has been agreed by and it will be tried in the next few months as a start of generally 2021. Another approach and it is one of the up votes that shes pork also would like to see is a temporary substitution. As you see in the spot discipline, such as wrigley union or ice hockey. So if some medical team thinks is that the player might be concussed then the medical team gets a keystone in 12 minutes of time to assess a player on an off fields. And during this assessment, which is quite a long lasting, then there is a temporary situation. So a player can take the place of the potentially compas player and play for 10 and 12 minutes. And if this particular player is not conquests, then your she can return to the field of play. Unfortunately, despite that poor has been pushing for a try around temporary substitution for many years. I fab is not likely to try and assist them to recede situation by next year. Only as a feminine superstition will be exploit in 2021. And this is give, think the authorities were not taking this seriously. I mean, why did it take this long to actually put the trials and anyway, well, at 54. 00 we are pushing since sir 2030 in about better recognition of better under a month was a medical team when it comes to concussion follows a concussion during the premier league game between reese and look at that time and then we try to to make things moving forward. Unfortunately, football is one of the boss, conservative sports where many people are not progressive enough in order to explore or the same now you saw or yes, its very regretful that we are behind as a sport when it comes of advancements to once a bad concussion recognition nevertheless, in 2021 we will be on the move weve trying to, weve got to permanent concussion should situation, but again, i repeat, im not sure that it will solve the problem of on feel recognition of concussion. We would like to see or tried to while the temporary conclusion superstition as well. Vincent got of us and chief medical officer of the World Players Union 54. Thank you very much for that.
