Where we begin with the coronavirus pandemic now in a new phase with countries racing to approve facts scenes but in some parts of the worlds the picture is getting worse with case numbers on the rise so as winter approaches no since the start of the pandemic there have been more than 64. 00 a 1000000 confirmed cases worldwide and nearly 1500000. 00 deaths well the u. N. General assembly is holding a special session on the pandemic here in his Opening Statements secretarygeneral antonio good terrorists emphasize that governments must be united in their response. For the 1st time since 145 and world is confronted by a Common Senate youve got a list of nationality at nicd or face the world Us Organization provided factual information and scientific guidance that should have been the basies for a quarter the Global Response unfortunately many of these recommendations were not followed and in some situations there was a rejection effects. And ignore those of the United Nations and when countries go in their own direction of the vitals girls in everyone action well our diplomats diplomatic editor james bass joins us now live from the United Nations in new york and james you heard there a police for unity incorporation from the secretary general but that unity and cooperation has been sadly lacking around the world over the past year absolutely and i think the secretary general who is known as job to be very diplomatic was not very diplomatic in that speech calling out some of the richest nations on earth saying that the the help for developing countries with regard to covert 19 was totally in solution fission for the scale of the crisis and in particular he called out that group in the g 20 which only met a couple of weeks ago he had called at the g. 20 meeting for very specific measures for a lot more money 28000000000. 00 to get the vaccine to absolutely everyone and for them to increase debt relief to the poorest countries on earth theyre already doing that but to extend it for longer and also to extend that to some of the middle Income Countries that are in desperate need that hasnt happened and the secretary general believes that is a mistake and hes made it quite clear in this speech for the special session of the General Assembly which is under way. James space there live for us at the United Nations in new york thank you very much in deed well lets take a look at some of the countries were following the cyrus coronavirus cases continue to climb iran has now passed 1000000 confirmed cases covered 19 a snow killed nearly 50000 people there but the Health Minister says the actual number of deaths is probably much higher for the run introduced tougher restrictions to counter a 3rd wave of infections which included causing nor essential businesses in russia theyve reported more than 28000. 00 new infections on thursday thats the highest increase yet its 2nd largest city of St Petersburg has already announced restrictions around the new year holiday indonesias also seeing a record daily rise in cases reporting more than 8300 on thursday though it has the highest number of infections and deaths in Southeast Asia several officials there have recently tested positive for the corona virus over its year low in hungary has just recorded 180 deaths its highest daily death toll a partial lockdown was introduced 3 weeks ago a curfew in force president viktor orban has yet to announce whether regulations will change in time for christmas lebanon the Health Minister is warning there will not be enough hospital beds to cope with the increasing cases the countrys already dealing with a major financial and economic crisis and is still struggling after the beiruts ports explosion massed organists. Well lets take you back to iran where big is live for us in teheran. A 1000000 confirmed cases weve seen a grim milestone in iraq and the deaths all that even officials there except a kid be much higher. Yes they do except that it could be much higher thats because many people werent tested and some people died before a covert test could be carried out now figures are coming down slowly slowly since the country introduced this partial lockdown so with the new infections daily new infections are around 13000. 00 down from 14000. 00 and the daily death toll come down to mid 300. 00 to what it was last month the highest there had ever seen over 400 now these new Restrictions Mean that nonessential businesses are closed that restaurants and cafes are serving takeaways only and private vehicles are banned from the rolls from 9 pm till 4 am in the morning if theyre found to be out on the streets they face a financial penalty but also mosques and religious places have been closed and thats quite significant because iran is an Islamic Republic facemasks a compulsory both inside and outside in public spaces and government offices have either closed or working with minimum stuff now this partial lockdown is set to expire on friday night some places could be extended or some restrictions ease depending on what catch you create they fall into iran has blamed us sanctions for stopping them and restricting their fight against the pandemic also the start of this pandemic around march this year iran wanted billions of dollars from the International Monetary fund that was refused again iran blames the United States in fact today foreign minister jihad zarif has been speaking and he said the United States has reached an economic war against iran thats cost many lives and said that they were able to purchase medicines to deal with patients thats because sanctions on irans Banking Sector which makes it very difficult for iran to purchase medicine from International Companies now theres also been criticism of the government from inside iran many have said that they didnt act quick enough that theres restrictions were tight enough and that the figures at the start of this pandemic were. Accurate not actually giving has not given people information that they needed to let them know how serious the situation worse now iran says that it wants to purchase vaccines and also its scientists are working on developing their own vaccines in fact president Hassan Rouhani has previously said that iran has done much better than some European Countries considering the constraints that its under but the fact still remains 1000000 covered cases the worst hit country in the middle east and still struggling to carry a grip on this pandemic care said bigger barriers all the very latest from teheran thank you said. Now the u. S. Is still the worst affected country by far whedons day it reported its highest daily death toll since april according to the Johns Hopkins university there were more than siri size and 100 recorded coronavirus deaths for the 1st time daily hospital admissions across the u. S. Topped 100000 in a single day 200000 new infections were also reporters and no the heads of the u. S. Census for Disease Control warns that by february another 200000 people could die from the virus in the United States so were in that range with tensional in our snoring to see if teen 100 to 2000 to 2500. From this far so you know the mortality concerns are real. And i do think unfortunately before we see february we could be close to foreign 50000 americans have died from this virus well lets get more reaction from the United States now with our White House Correspondent kimberly whole kits kimberly it seems every day we come up here and bring you figures and say agreements highly more dire warnings from the Public Health officials but these really are staggering statistics the situation does seem to be getting much much worse where you are. Theres no question about it that Public Health officials are expecting that the next 3 months could be some of the most difficult in americas Public Health history at least thats what theyre warning and caution as they continue to brace for the post thanksgiving surge that they are expecting but already the numbers are not good and predicted to only get worse now just to put it into context this is a population of 330000000 people where we are right now on infections is the about 13. 9 in terms of deaths 272000 and rising so what that means is that most people know somebody who has been affected by cope at 19 but not necessarily someone who has died but the fear is that that could change now of course there is anticipation about a vaccine on the horizon the white house saying that by the end of the year there could be 40000000. 00 doses but that is only going to scratch the surface in terms of an occupation is that it will go to frontline workers and also to those living in care homes where the bulk of deaths have occurred so theres some nervousness about whether a person could get a vaccine and also there are others who are fearful about the science thats whats prompted a number of former president s and could clued in barack obama and george w. Bush and even bill clinton to say that when their turn comes they will be getting their vaccines on camera in order to reassure the public with the vaccine use is clearly very good indeed at the ends of course but there have been reports that the supply chain for the transportation all of these values to fact scenes has been back for more can you tell us. Yeah well the department of Homeland Security issuing a warning this is in addition to the one coming out from i. B. M. That the vaccine cold chain is under attack and may have been under attack since september least the targeted sort of means of targeting is sort of a Global Phishing campaign to not only suppliers but executives that are working with this cold chain know what is that cold chain well we know that these vaccines have to be stored at extremely low temperature so these are the people involved in ensuring that and what were hearing from Security Experts is that they believe this is the nation state behind these attacks given the fact that there seems to be an intimate understanding and knowledge of how the cold chain works so the department of Homeland Security the latest to add a word of caution to those that are receiving these phishing emails in order to protect the supply chain as Many Americans are already anxious about receiving these vaccines can they hold our washington White House Correspondent joining us from washington d. C. Thank you very much indeed kimberly. Well the World Health Organization is also reviewing the fines are buying a vaccine for emergency approval e. U. Regulators are in consultations with u. K. Officials to share data but the topiary chose executive director for Health Emergencies says it could take to vela pig nations months to get access we need to develop more vaccines we should stop we need more of these 3 or 4 we need to increase production we need hold the price down we need wed love a woman those vaccine because they have all of the vaccine so far 2 doses so the innovation is not finished we need the research to continue we need everyone to support a new search. Lets get more now from neve barker he joins us from our london Broadcast Center neve the u. K. Its that Pfizer Vaccine that made the announcement yesterday amid much fanfare what about the e. U. When are they expected to start ruling out the vaccine. Well the needs are pretty but 1st and they say that theyre going to have a meeting on the 29th of december in which case they may give a green light to the biome take care Pfizer Vaccine they also say theyll come back with an opinion on the dirt of vaccine probably towards the end of january but at the moment its the u. K. Thats leading the pack when it comes to approving the use of the Pfizer Vaccine after its regulator on wednesday gave it the green light of course the British Government immediately pounced upon that weve heard from a government with the im certain he was a key member of the british cabinet the education secretary passing the governments on its own back saying that its because britain has the best scientists and the best regulators that the u. K. Is now the 1st country to begin this rollout but of course thats going to cause a huge sharp intake of breath across europe and also in the United States its us money and pharmaceutical power in the form of pfizer and its german scientists that are responsible for developing this vaccine in the 1st place or so just because the british regulators approved it doesnt mean that other countries in other regulators in other parts of the world do the a. M. A. The e. U. Regulator has warned the british regulator of acting in a too hasty fashion in approving this and of course the World Health Organization that sets the benchmark for other countries around the world that may not have the right regulators is also whats watching whats happening here in the u. K. Very very closely as well its also the british regulator to share its workings out with the w. H. O. Because the w. H. O. Wants to approve things as quickly as possible because it knows it wants to get the roll out happening as quickly as possible particularly in developing countries in parts of the world that may be bottom of the pile when it comes to seeing a mass rollout of the vaccine in those given countries but last me of course the licensing or the approval of the vaccine is just the start the logistics are huge and complex keeping a vaccine in a very cold temperatures shipments that cant be broken up they come in bunches of almost a 1000 getting those individual doses to those that need it will be a huge challenge and indeed need to there live from london thank ye. Well its not just the fines or by onset vaccine out there lets take you through some of the other leading vaccine candidates astra zeneca and Oxford University say that their vaccine is on average 70 percent effective but that can rise to 98 percent effectiveness depending on the dosage this vaccine can be stored in normal fridge temperatures for up to 6 months durness vaccine can stay in a fridge for 30 days or a regular freezer for 6 months its more than 94 percent effective pfizers vaccine of course 95 percent effective but it requires that specialize deep freezing Russias Vladimir Putin says his country will have produced 2000000. 00 doses of its sputnik vaccine within the next few days now that said to be 92 percent effects of bots the data hasnt been released showing that its gone through all their society Clinical Trials chinas says its sign over back vaccine has shown success in trials in kids stay stable for up to 3 years in regular cold storage well dr peter drawback is an Infectious Disease medic and a Global Health experts he says the best thing is to have several options available. We need all of these vaccines or as many as possible i think whats important is that because we move so quickly that we make sure that we have immense rigor in the process of Clinical Trials and then an independence scrutiny of those results by regulators and other independent scientists to make sure that we feel good about the safety and i think you see results so therefore what were seeing now in the process is with the the midair the vaccine the Pfizer Vaccine and the oxford vaccine ongoing is more heartening because we know what were getting and i have a little bit less comfort with the vaccines in china and russia simply because they went ahead and gave emergency approval without doing those phase 3 trials and we havent seen that level of independent scrutiny over although this is good news we have 150 other vaccines in the pipeline frankly were going to need a lot of them the 1st ones may not be the best ones some countries may to an extent follow the lead in the work done by regulators in america and europe and then also the World Health Organization which also has an approvals process for medicines and other Health Commodities that is a stamp of approval that has a lot of currency with other countries as well so were seeing now is that this is happening up friends at the European Medicines Agency the f. D. A. And others and i think itll itll flow from there. Theres plenty more still to come on this news hour including hong kong prodemocracy activist and media mogul jimmy lie is that i pale faces charges of fraud so well have the latest from india on the growing protests by farmers against new balsam produce and peter will be here with these for a big swap deal in the n. B. A. Thats coming up in sports later this hour. With u. S. Media reporting that saudi arabia is close to reopening it say or space and land border to qatar the gulf nation has been under a land sea and air blockade by saudi arabia bahrain the u. A. E. And egypt since june 27th Team President trumps Senior Adviser jared cushion or well sent doha on whedons day and his reports its of also visited saudi Arabia Bloomberg and then york times suggest the tentative deal has been brokered by kuwaits but does not include bahrain the u. A. E. Ye and egypts ordeal between qatar and saudi arabia would signal the end of a dispute that has pitted the gulf neighbors against each other for more than 3 years in june 27th seen saudi arabia the u. A. E. And egypt cut all diplomatic and economic ties with cuts are accused of creating instability and supporting terrorism which carters government denies saudi arabia closed its only land border and imposed an air and sea embargo coates initially stepped in to mediate but theres been little or no progress the latest stafford by the trumpet ministration is seen as a last ditch attempt to resolve the issue before donald trump the eaves office well joining me here from doha is a moron. Al jazeera senior political analyst maher undersell waiting to hear any kind of announcement of progress on this issue that could be just on the terms of the time and why do you say these efforts are being made by the u. S. To mediate between qatar and saudi arabia finite. Well look to be sort of more factual if i may. The United States or the top of the mission stepping in way too late in the game and then jed question already left with his delegation and i dont think he had made or is making any much difference. The real effort took place on the part of the kuwaitis as well as on the part of the qataris and the saudis they are the ones who made the push over the last several weeks even several months clearly for quiet for the last 3 years and i think its loss efforts that are bearing fruit not any american last ditch intervention of any sort. Not trying to take credit for it when he came here that did not work out for heaven so he left back to washington so what were expecting here is that saudi arabia because it lost a main our ally in the form of the Trump Administration and is expecting quite a backlash from the next administration and especially from the next congress its trying to work out its troubles regionally on its own and that includes trying to get us the number the important thorny issues that could be the war in yemen that could be the conflict with iran or there could be the gulf crisis clearly the gulf crisis should be the easiest to resolve because thats where saudi arabia has started this whole thing and it could end it by simply showing some seriousness about its interest in gulf security. Be that as it may mean there have to be some kind of concessions made because otherwise this looks like a massive admission of defeat for the strategy by saudi arabia if its just going to back to an end and starts starts to bring forward a kind of rapprochement with the catteries because when this started the rule list of demands and it doesnt look like qatar is given in to any of them is this not a huge admission of defeat for the saudis. Well look i think the way its probably going to be sold to the public is that its this is turning the page right so i think on the part of the saudis theyre just going to simply going to forget about their 30 conditions and if theyre going to have to try to get you know on some new chapter with the. Qataris are also going to try to have to find it in themselves to do some forgiveness because thats all remember that is not going to go back to crete june 9th 2017 because its just going to be too difficult for it to trust especially its neighbor and and the saudis and egyptians and so on so i think its going to take some time and i think thats why were probably going to be were going to end up with some general statements about the way to move forward probably by the kuwaitis so that some confidence Building Measure starts where the saudis start giving in like for example on the question of what that is to walk freely you know skies and and all of that now having said that there are some immediate issues that saudi needs to take care of you know the corona issued the day of the. The kleine of the oil prices problems within us and as i said with out of the war in yemen its not support so it really has a lot on its plate and to have better relations with got that and better regional. Consolidation if you will of the relations its going to be good for saudi arabia when the Biden Administration steps in and in january 20th so all in all it could be a win win situation if you will but everyone is going to have to try to somehow reconcile with the past and that does start with the saudis turning the page on their thinking conditions well the saudis may be laying the groundwork to turn the page what about the m. R. I. Isnt bahrain and egypts because theyre also located saying. That they they were until in the said jill for Jared Kishner and his team on this latest round of meetings are they Still Standing by their position. Well look clearly the fact that judge question did not stop in the United Arab Emirates that should give you a sign that you know they were rockets are more interested in not about those issues with israel. You know where the patient of palestine then they are with their neighbor right. Behind his dont count for much because that really have turned into a protectorate of saudi arabia since 20132000 since the arab spring. Age of dysphoria right egypt is not a gulf country egypt has different sets of issues whats got that and i give you a simple example look at the latest crackdown in egypt against human rights activists right now some 60000. 00 Political Prisoners in each do they only expect the likes of aljazeera like every other ultimate in this world not to speak about this horrific violations of human rights in the country so really the egyptians are making demands on top of the new that dont make on anyone else and then making demands on the likes of i just dont anyone else and i think we have we need to continue to do our water you know journalism cut that needs to continue to be a sovereign independent country it doesnt take its dictate from anyone else and honestly hala saudi arabia and egypt need to get that house in orders and not project it on the likes of copper. Or their political analyst joining us from doha thank you very much indeed my van. Lets head back to our top story the corona virus pandemic and facebook has announced it will start removing posts from facebook and instagram that have false claims about coronavirus vaccines it says misinformation that poses a risk of imminent harm will be taken down social Media Company will label and reduce distribution of other claims contradicting Health Experts well the u. N. Says its been helping countries combat the spread of misinformation online United Nations is also struggling gauging combating muzi from asian online or verified provides compelling information while offering people tools to identify false content and interpol has warned countries to prepare for organized Crime Networks targeting covert 1000 vaccines it issued a high alert sidelining potential criminal activities in the force of a cation theft and illegal advertising of vaccines interpol says criminal organizations are planning to infiltrate or disrupts vaccine supply chains will the red cross is warned that efforts towards a potential covert 1000 vaccine could fail if the spread of misinformation is not tackled emmanuelle a couple bianco is a director of health at the International Federation of the red cross and press credit red crescent societies. He joins us now from geneva its great to have you with us just explain to me how worried are you a by the threats of misinformation particularly when it comes to corona virus and the vaccines that are being bold. Well we are very worried about davy seemed formation that he circlet keep particularly on also shall be going on for months and hes intensifying right now with a rival of x. And a lot of rumors going around that colby may not be there that colby may not affect that if you get a vaccination you may be sterilized or if you use garlic you may fight 1000 all these claims are not based on evidence and are very very risky. To produce is that were all trying to stop these terrible and the face fix Just Announced that theyre going to start removing posts with this misinformation about vaccines and misinformation about the corona virus when i always say youre into this pandemic are you frustrated its taken them this long to take any kind of action on this. I think a lot of people use social media in outside like a direct cross working very much hard to to to to combat music formation to look forward to the right information we really believe that these are you east to rein in the right type of information at all levels of Media Politicians research. Organisations like like the red cross and then you can also try to to to ban the wrong information but can also backfire so what is absolutely critical is to prove the amount of evidence based information that hes brought to the communities those ones that are connected but remembering also the fact that a many communities do not have access to social media where is a depressant to person interaction that actually Vital Information on how to prevent the transmission of the virus and so the some people may feel quite justified in being hesitant its a get a vaccine not because of crazy posts that are being shared on their social media feeds but they may feel quite justified in thinking this is being brought out too quickly i dont want to be a guinea pig and so on and so forth they might not be in the lets say the crazier wing of the conspiracy theories purcel feel quite justified highwood you go out by. Saving those concerns and encouraging people that vaccines are safer or indeed that corona virus is actually a serious a serious virus to be to be on your guard about. What is absolutely critical to recognize that Clinical Trials be conducted in are be conducted according to the Gold Standard theyll be compressed over time but they have not been a short cut in the way these Clinical Trials have been conducted thats point 1. 00 is there will be regulatory authorities reviewing their results carefully independently all these Clinical Trials and only if efficacy and safety are confirmed vaccines will be allowed to enter the streets and into the osprey those 4 blocks in nature so we do have mechanism in place that should actually remove a lot of those concerns and we know that. Vaccines will roll out and people will see that vaccines actually prevent spread of infection they do not give. Effects people will feel more confident its a process and its important that we go on the process providing the right information based on the evidence available hes very confident are you that given you know news organizations like al jazeera were doing our part were putting out the information and so on and so forth but regardless and then the last 3 months or so youve seen trust levels in vaccines and treatments for the coronavirus have been have been said silly going die in a look at the figures in front of me but it says the vast percentages of of people are losing trust in these treatments despite the fact that this information is getting out there so it is is there something that we should be doing differently because the message doesnt appear to be getting out there to people. One of the problems that i personally see around the acceptance is its linked to the perception of that risk a direct cost of being working in a call before 3 years back to a bowler there you had a virus that would kill a board in 50 percent of the people who get affected and i think its easier to cross a message when you have a virus with that mortality called me that is a more benign virus in that sense that but it kills a lot of people old people but also young people and i think we need to continue sharing these disinformation and we other across are very keen on the listening to what the doubts the concerns are people are interested on to those lines and thats its a long term process you can do it certainly through the media you can do it through Research Just speaking on the radio or television but what is most effective is being in the community and thats what our 40000000 volunteers a recordset presence societies do they even and day out talking to people and build the trust because every damn excess are stopped on trust that you need certainly the medical biomedical interventions but if you dont have trust you can have a vaccine but will not be able to box and the people you can have a medicine but the people will not take that medicine and so trust is really the corner store and that we need to build rebuild in the next few months all together absolutely at a man who has a couple bianco there director of health at the International Federation of red cross and Red Crescent Society is great to get your thoughts thank you so much for joining us here on aljazeera thank you.

Well the Constitutional Court of the judges of the Constitutional Court say hes in breach of article 103. 00 of the constitution which says that in order to be candidate for this election you have to have good morals and you have to have a clean criminal record judges believe that he has neither of course he is wanted by the government of bungie who says that he incited hatred funded armed groups as well as accusing him of torture during the 2013 crisis where we saw christian and christian militia groups closely also known as close to forswear busy fighting against the what is known as the. Armed groups and so not only that the United NationsSecurity Council have also. Have also put him on a list because they believe they accuse him of funding armed groups now he is not supposed to be in the country he was the the government of bank you were looking for him and he mysteriously appeared just weeks before the president ial election so this this this announcement that is not legible for this election comes as no surprise and of course it paves the way for president whos tipped as the favorite for this election to really make his way forward for a 2nd mandate the announcement was made once for so it was it was out of the country campaigning there 14 armed groups in Central African republic the government of bank controls the capital but not much more so now the reaction is what will be the reaction of those that support for. What the cia are necklace has been in crisis for years half the population that relies on humanitarian assistance and rivals armed groups control most of the territories you think this decision could trigger violence. Well theres real fear that it could because weve seen for so busy rely on militias and armed groups when he doesnt have his way we know that one of the armed groups there 14 of them. Is supporting force what was a president in the run up to this election has brokered a peace deal that was supported by russia and so there is a sense theres still a fear of what will be the reaction of course of busy hes right now out of the country so so were expecting him to come back theyre already his supporters gathering outside the Party Headquarters and well hear from him any moments from now hala ok nic live from dakar in senegal thank you.
