It could be available by the end of this month. Now in england, a month long stay at home, order expires on wednesday. Politicians are set to vote on new tear distractions to replace it, but reaction is somewhat mixed. Prime minister Boris Johnson is urging politicians to support his proposals. So we cant simply allow the current restrictions to expire with the spread of the epidemic vary across the country. There remains a compelling case. There remains a compelling case for regional tears in england, and indeed mr. Speaker, a compelling necessity. Well, the debate comes as the Economic Impact of the pandemic is hitting the u. K. Hard to find 25000. 00 jobs are at risk at 2 of the countrys biggest clothing retailers. Lets get more now from paul brennan. He joins me live from Central London home. Lets start with the restrictions in place where you are england to, set c. Emerge from a 2nd mortgage, but the still some confusion over whats going to replace those measures. What wilkie tellus . Well, these measures were announced last week by the Prime Minister Boris Johnson. And its been telegraphed what they are, but what Boris Johnson is finding difficulty is in getting support for them, essentially, particularly from within his own ruling, conservative party you see, for in order to get the main act, they need to pass through parliament. And thats whats happening today that debate followed by a vote, which is going to take place about 900 g. M. T. To see think you heard him there in that clip that weve just played, trying to persuade m. P. s predominantly off his own party to vote in favor for him that said, is facing great difficulty. Labor on the liberal democrats have decided that they cant support the government in this. Theyre going to abstain and not vote tonight. And that puts all the emphasis on the conservative party on the difficulty, Boris Johnson has, is over m. P. s on his backbenchers, who really essentially believe that the tears system that is going to be introduced after we finish the National Lockdown that we currently in tomorrow. When this test system comes in, the m. P. s are concerned about the Economic Impact of that theyre concerned about the fairness of that tiered system that it doesnt quite distinguish properly between areas of low infection rates and areas of higher infection rates. And that also concerns about the way about the effectiveness of its about whether it will actually succeed eventually in bringing down the level of infection. It will pass. He has enough votes in parliament to make it past, but its going to be an uncomfortable afternoon for the Prime Minister Boris Johnson. And for his government wont quite send a lot of the tension it want to seems as regards in the economic supports. And of course, the economic effects of this pandemic are becoming much clearer in the u. K. Were tens of thousands of jobs are now i would risk indeed, you know, a month ago, exactly. A month ago, 1st of november i was standing but 200 yards behind me. For the start of the Christmas Lights season here on Oxford Street, thats the famous Oxford Street in Central London. At the time, the Retail Consortium that looks after the Oxford Streets interest said that they were going to the juice from a normal winter of 3200000000. 00 worth of sales down to around 6 100000000. 00 a massive hit. That was even before. d the National Lockdown was imposed. Now what weve seen in the last 48 hours. Its a really grim day, really grim, 48 hours for the british Retail Sector arcadia, which is a group that includes its big brand names as top shop and top man. And miss selfridge, they have gone into administration and the building behind me, the retailer behind me, deborah times a Big Department store has announced today tuesday that theyre going into liquidation. Thats even worse for the staff and for the suppliers of evidence. Essentially, it means that it really does not have a future. The staff have been sold to small inc. The liquidation specialist hill co will go in on weapon states and look at what can be done. The doors will reopen tomorrow, but it will not be for, you know, launch province to greater things. It will be essentially, its a class stock and the people of the prince. We can see here off the streets, very sad to see the end of a, a retail tradition dating back more than 200 years. Very, very disappointed about that because i do a lot of online shopping. And theyve got so many different brands in there. So its one of the stores i shop in very frequently. So yesterday the news and around 130 people who were going to lose their job. Its a great showing actually work there because were from brighton and i always bought stuff from there when i was in. They were babies, christmas things, things for the house. Its easy. Its really, really sad. Its a sad day for those people working here. Its a sad day for those people that shopped and will continue to shop in the short term, but it brings home just how difficult it is in the Retail Sector at the moment. Its been coming for a long time. Many people have predicted the demise of the u. K. High street challenge by online retailers challenged by the big out of town retail parks as well. But that said 12000 jobs at devon and followed 513000 jobs at the arcadia group. Thats a lot of jobs in a short space of time and it wont be the last in this very, very bleak winter. Indeed. Spall brennan, there reporting live from the Central London. Thank you very much indeed. Now a critical part of rebuilding confidence in the Global Economy will be a reliable system of mass testing. One of those options is a rapid saliva test developed in the u. K. Its now been trials in spain. Jonah ho has more now from manchester. Its tempting to think the arrival of a vaccine will mean the end of all this students being tested before returning home for christmas, whole city populations trying to reduce transmission. But it wont. We dont have many long term arms. We dont know people, we need em on your back. So theres a lot of things we dont know about scenes. So using diagrams that at the moment im a bit in the media will be long. Its going to be really important. Fast accurate testing remains of vital goal. 5. Troublous of the solution for which case will be the cultural folks at this is a, do it yourself test delivering results in 10 minutes. The mideast certain 19 test is being trialled in spain. Its u. K. Developers say its faster than existing alternatives using nothing more invasive than a saliva sample. Just to be partnered with an app, a unique q. R. Code. There is the potential here for a Digital Immunity passport system. Theres a time and allocated to the test that you actually undertaken in terms of days, hours and minutes, and then to view your actual passport of freedom, you have your q. R. Code, which has been bonafide for the device. Theres much speculation, but the u. K. Government insists its not considering a system of immunity passports to determine where people can go or what they can do, depending on whether theyve had a test or taken a dose of the vaccine. Its an idea that offends libertarian sensibilities, but given the uncertainties about the pace and the long term effectiveness of any vaccination program, it may well be a necessary evil. I think you need to be did we think so that we now whether they have nation where they really need to go to buy a ticket, to a concert, get on a plane or get into the workplace. You have a q. R. Code that tells you ive had a test, my test is negative, im going to go correct and all of that information is then buddha is put together. Once the test result is confirmed, the world is holding its breath, expecting an imminent return to normal life with normality may not be quite as we remember it. Jonah aljazeera, Irans Parliament has passed a draft motions a halt, unrestricted access by the International Atomic Energy Agency to its nuclear sites. The proposed changes could allow iran to resume or uranium enrichment at levels of 20 percent on the 2050 nuclear deal that the United States pulled out of iran was limited to below 4 percent. Jabari has more now from to her on. There is a very, very different opinion when it comes to the government of present Hassan Rouhani who negotiated that very deal in 2015. This conservative parliament had been debating this motion for a while now. And it seems that the assassination of. 7 the scientist on friday of mosques and factories are there just expedited them to put forth this motion in an urgent session and pass it. Now what happens to this bill is that it will go to the guardian council. That is a body that is ultimately responsible for approving these motions that eventually will become law. Usually those decisions about the countrys Nuclear Program are left up to another body that is called the Supreme National security council, which is made up of president Hassan Rouhani the head of the judiciary as well as the speaker of parliament. So this is why this motion by the parliament has been taken as a very much a political move by this conservative parliament and a move against the president and his government warning them that basically any kind of future discussions in dialogues with western powers over the Nuclear Program is not something these officials will welcome. We also heard that the official reaction from the Foreign Ministry spokesperson. Lets hear what he had to say, that the government and the Foreign Ministry have already announced their sorts that they dont agree with this action plan. Its not the necessary nor helpful. Its not clear if the parliamentarians get what they seek. Unfortunately, they didnt Pay Attention to our points of view. The government has on rouhani has also released something never before seen pictures rather of the assassinated scientists who received a special award from president Hassan Rouhani. There is a lot of dialogue within the country going on at the moment, but its a very important and clear now that president Hassan Rouhani is intent on trying to salvage this deal with the incoming u. S. Administration later in january. Plenty more still to come on this news hour, including environmental groups, face off against all giant shaylas, adopts courts in a bid to force it to meet emissions targets and leaked documents. Show officials in one hand, you more about the coronavirus than they let on this without the sports and the formula one World Champion wont be competing in something hes grown. 3 impact brain father will be here to explain why the United Nations has appeals to ethiopia and authorities for access to thousands of eritrea and refugees in the to grow region. Prime minister of the ahmed claimed victory over the Peoples Liberation front on saturday. But the t p. L. O. S. Leader is warning that the conflict between his forces and the National Army is not over sepia life says fighting is continuing on every fronts and is accusing me of trying to deceive the international community. 2nd mourner from baber by a lot. The United Nations Refugee Agency school spokesman, he joins us now from geneva, gets our viewers on the news hour with talk about the situation in ethiopia, and t. Gray claims and counterclaims, the t. P. O. Life, and from the ethiopian military. But caught in the middle of this, of course are over the refugees who are trapped there. Can you give us an indication of what the situation is like at the camps that the u. N. Administers integrate . Because aljazeera has still not been able to access that area. India, thank you very much. Theyre quite worried about the safety and security of civilians in the tick lady and in general, but also the region which hosts thousands of egyptian refugees. Topia has been a generous host for a, for many refugee populations, including those refugees from it. It we, as human italians have lost access and contact with the refugees since the last one month that this fighting has been ongoing. And now there are worrying reports of attacks of abductions and also off recruitment in and around these refugee camps, where these refugees have been. Soviet unity are, are asking for urgent access to these refugee camps. To go and help those desperate refugees, which, according to worrying rip, rip force have been affected far further. More by this ongoing conflict. Do you know this for these reports that youre getting who is attacking these camps and who is trying to recruit refugees who are in these camps . Is it one size or the other or both . Its very hard to say without being on the ground. We cannot verify this information, but the indications are really worrying for us. These camps were supposed to provide refuge to disease refugees. And now with these wordings, of course, thats why its more urgent and immediate that we are if built to access these refugees and assist them. Theyre also worrying reports that many refugees may have left the camp looking for safety assistance, including food in other areas of the, to glynne dejan, including mckinley. They have to have u. N. Staff at these camps and have been able to, to leave it. So are not exact locations. We have lost contact and access to the camp for last one month now. And thats why its very important that this ongoing conflict which is on when for one month now, it has affected bently, the infrastructure, the services, including food in the camps. And theres more and more reasons as we are concerned, are growing by the hour. And thats why we need urgent access now to go see and help assist us for a few days and in terms of supplies, Food Supplies, and so on, in the camps. And you havent been able to get any contact with the camp for a month now. I am but up until that point where there are adequate supplies of fear and medicines or do you have reason to believe that fruits is being withheld and people are not having access to what they need to survive. But there were 4 distributions, other services were continuing till the beginning of the conflict. After that, its very hard to say how much Food Supplies there have been warning that refugees may run out of Food Supplies. One indication is many refugees arriving in other parts of to glee and make it in the capital in search of assistance, food and safety as, as well. So its very hard to say anything. And thats why we keep reporting that humanitarian access inside tikrit and specially to the refugee camps is urgent need urgently needed and is immediate. Now, youve been calling for access to these camps to help the refugees who are there. We have also been asking the european government for access to the region in order that we can report on what is happening there because there has been this complete blackout a complete Communications Blackout from the region. What are the government been saying to you . Are they sympathetic to your request to get into the region or if youve been given a similar brushoff . Oh, people come the recent announcement very talked about unitarian excess and helping civilians who have been affected. 1 1 it has to be material as soon as possible, and lets not forget, the other impact of this conflict has been, it took in refugees in sudan. We now have more than 46000 to top in refugees in sudan, arriving in the remote parts of, of, of sudan. Sudan has done a service to humanity by allow them allowing them in, but sudan also needs help. Thats what units are with our partners, have launched an appeal of a 150000000. 00 u. S. Dollars, which is urgently needed to help refugees for the next 6 months or ballots will have to leave it. There are thank you so much for joining us here on out to sara. As power balance the Refugee Agency is global spokesman, joining us there from geneva. Well, as we were hearing from the u. N. Spokesman, tens of thousands of people have fled the grey for refugee camps in neighboring see don and a. J. Agencies have said that there isnt a food to go around there. Many refugees claim that their nutritional needs are not being met. Mama vall has the details, but even 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. We are looking at this, these people have been living on lentil soup with a portion of sorghum par age for 20 days. This type of food doesnt necessarily suit everyone and that they had died in here. 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 Program 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 red sort of gum lentils, who can go oil or salt and food supplements for newborns and nursing mothers. This is early to hopefully will 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 in hama. Shes 6 months pregnant. She has boycotted the porridge and started bit of food business over that and we 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 wheat flour to make bread and thought that suits mighty little makes bread and soup for our family that sells 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 a humanitarian crisis via our disease. The count for ethiopia, refugees in sudan police in germany say at least 2 people have been killed after a car drove into a pedestrian area in the southwestern city of tree air. More than a dozen others were injured in the civil rest of the driver. All of the vehicle dented vidas. The 51 year old local man and other suspects has been questioned. Police in the area are being warned to people in the area rather are being born to avoid the city center. And the records case is under way in the netherlands. A Group Called Friends of the earth is taking on Oil Giant Shell to court, trying to force it to reduce its carbon emissions. 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 citizens. That person has more from the hague, the people versus shalah. Thats how and why a mentalist called this landmark case in the hague. More than 17000. 00 dutch citizens together with sticks and via mantle organisations, are taking one of the worlds most powerful corporations to court. If you shout of deliberately putting peoples lives at risk with its increased production of fossil fuels from knowing the risks of Climate Change, the company in a written responses as that shelf cant be singled out as a company for its contribution to Global Warming. And it also rejects allegations that more than 30 years ago. The company hyped unique knowledge about the risks of Climate Change already. Last year, the same court ruled that, failing to reduce Global Warming is a failing of human rights, and also ordered the dutch state to reduce its emissions to 20 percent by the end of 2020. But this time, its not a state, but its a company thats on trial for a company with large funds to defend itself. But and via mantillas, im still optimistic that they can win this case. And if they do, it will have a major impact on the fight against Climate Change. The amazon rain forest, the shrinking at an alarming rates with the forestation at a 12 year high. Scientists say the race of clearing has accelerated since joy or ball. Sonora became president s of brazil and weakens environmental protections. Reports from bogota in 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. Its a complaint from that have been built in brazil over but we have a president that existence 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 scenario 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 raise trade barriers against brazil. How do we deal with that . Diplomacy is not enough. When there is no more saliva, then there must be gum. But they have to know that the amazon is ours. Thats for the world is like nobody has what we have. It will be difficult to convince a defy impulse, an arrow 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.

Under a russian brokered cease fire deal the agreements for those 6 weeks of intense fighting over the disputed nagornokarabakh region. Latinas, one of 3 areas outside the regions borders that were handed over by armenia. As part of that truce, Russian Troops are being deployed for the next 5 years to oversee its implementation. Forces have emerged of what appears to show a strain on special forces drinking from the prosthetic leg of a dead taliban fighter. The forces have been published in the guardian a stray aliya. They were apparently taken in 2009 in afghanistan, where this follows a damning report into the actions of straightly and forces there it found evidence that some soldiers unlawfully killed 39. 00 unarmed afghan civilians and prisoners. Now, sirrah, him is an Afghan Affairs analyst. He says the photo shows a side of the war. Many people in afghanistan have known about for years. And this is another perspective of on going wrong and then its done. The 1000000000, this will is ive been here before used the deal on this issue and it is almost over there. And yet somebody, nobody has listened to. This is also significant. A lot of people all domestic about their out some of this core, a lot of the you know, our downs, the naacps there are poor right to something to do being using it was to make opera and taliban leaders and beer. And that this has been something thats chim, all of that. The war that have been in a sense whistleblower in china has leaked documents which show Health Officials misled the public for months over how serious the coronavirus wards, according to files seen by c. N. N. And verified by 6 experts reported number of cases was lured. It was contained in the internal documents, c. N. N. Notes that the documents dont indicated tensional withholding of information, but rather a mishandling of water fish was believed and what was reported to the public could really use in more 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 bowed down not only by bureaucracy, but also a dysfunctional culture, where officials were afraid to report the extent of the outbreak. It was quite a hefty document that was leaked about 117 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 and 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 warning given a number of about heart of that. Now this was according to apparently a lack of standardized, quite area when it came to reporting, which a lot of 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 2900. 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 covert 19, but it could be very pertinent to the investigation regarding the origin of the virus. And finally, potentially, the more is damning finding ways around the mechanism that china has put in place around reporting epidemics that are occurring in china. The world health organizations, director general, says mexico is in bad shape. As Coronavirus Infections and deaths continue to rise is urging serious action to stop the spread or mexicos the 4th country to have, more than 100000. People died from cope with 19.

Required in public buildings, schools, supermarkets and restaurants for the next 3 months. People who violate the law face fines of up to 100. 00. Its a turnaround in policy with the government previously notes in forcing the wearing of masks. For much of this year, all stripper is about to start a mass coronavirus testing program. People in the capital vienna will be the 1st to get checked. Health authorities are hoping to test 1200000 people with priority given to teachers. U. S. President Donald Trumps coronavirus advisor scott atlas has resigned after just 4 months in the job. Atlas repeatedly downplayed the importance of masks and described blocked, owns as epic failures. He was criticized by Infectious Diseases expert and city fire. She, you accuse that leaders of giving the president , misleading, or false information on the pandemic . Canadas government has announced its largest stimulus package since the end of the 2nd world war. Its promising to spend tens of billions of dollars to kick start the economy. Once the pandemic is over, the budget deficit is expected to reach a record 294000000000 dollars this year. But december 1st is world aids day, more and more people will die from cold at 19 this year than aids related illnesses. The u. N. Is still worried about setbacks, researches, hope they have a new tool in the fights. A prevention method thats easier to take easier rather than taking a pill under schapelle, has more for people in their twentys looking to protect themselves from h. I. V. Medication has been an effective prevention method for years. Young people visiting this mobile clinic damper toria, are learning about the importance of taking the medication at the same time each day. With ted, you have to remember that over today i have to take the path. And with my thought of, as im working in the city exam time, i get home very me that i have to take that back. So it indexing. I knew that it didnt matter. Why did Something Better . I move better than i did it take you to getting to challenge that healthy attitude and behavior prep may soon be replaced with a shot given every 2 months. Its called kabateck.

Current press, which is a daily our all pill is associated with a number of challenges. Its hard to take a pill a day, but also young women experience judgments about this sexual activity. And what we saw is that the people who received kava take a bad head and basically only 4 infections compared to 34. The truth. And what that told us, that was, that kept to go there was 9 times more effective in preventing a child in more than 32000000. People have died from aids related illnesses. Over the past 4 decades, deaths are down 60 percent since the peak in 2004. And more than 26000000, people are on antiretroviral drugs, but there are still around 12000000. People living with hiv who are not on treatment in the pandemic has put some gains in jeopardy. But joining us of the 9000 bunda mean the losing important ground in the fight to end aids as a public by 20. So to the un says the response to hiv aids demonstrates what can be achieved by working together and what can be done when all have access to the treatment they need. And aljazeera, the United Nations is warning that a record 235000000 people will require humanitarian aid over the coming year. The demand for food and other assistance is growing more urgent and widespread because of the effects of the coronavirus pandemic will. The u. N. Says tens of billions of dollars will be uneasy. Its as our diplomatic editor james bays, reports around the world. More people are suffering hardship than ever before. Every year it seems when the u. N. Announces the money needs to deal with humanitarian emergencies across the globe. The figures get bigger and bigger. The u. N. Estimates that because of code 19235000000. 00, people will need humanitarian assistance. An increase of 40 percent over the figure last year. Its appealing for 35000000000. 00 to meet the need and the crisis is far from what humanitarian aid budgets face. They are shortfalls, is the impact of the Global Pandemic continues on with every country suffering economically as a result of covert 19, the uns undersecretary general for humanitarian affairs mark has the difficult job of persuading leaders to pledge funds to help the most needy on earth. We ask them to remember the people caught up in these crises and just like everyone else and a helping hand and generosity and solidarity is the human being to. But we also remind them if the kind of problems that where describing in nice europe or come from british, it may well have taken effect and they will buy every body wherever they are in the world. So its a combination of generosity and self in yemen is still the worst humanitarian emergency in the world. The u. N. Has identified 56 countries that most need assistance. Whats worrying them is that many of those have a deteriorating situation, and there are new places being added to the list this year. Ethiopia, nagornokarabakh, and mozambique jamesburg aljazeera of the United Nations.

Im not sure if they were due new rule with a concussion substitute would have helped in that moment because the player can play on.

Leagues can apply to start concussion substitute trials in january with the premier league expected to begin tests next season. Under the new rules, teams would be given an extra substitute if a player left the pitch with a head injury. That sort of system is already used in other sports, including rugby and cricket.

This is a question for bias coach. Why he chose that squad for the match, but were still facing by munich. They have many great matches to play and decide which plays to use. Theyve decided this way for and we will face who have what we call by munich, has a lot of great players, especially midfield in attack. The team scores a lot of goals, which is their main strength.

I hope the government can get it together. With the postponement of the games, the Olympic Rings floating in tokyo bay where unceremoniously towed away.
