Kidnapped students say hundreds are still missing after gunmen attacked a school in northern nigeria. We begin with a look at the global race for a Coronavirus Vaccine 3 western cabinets are getting much attention now those made by madonna and astra zeneca are reported now to be close to approval and a vaccine developed by us from pfizer and germanys biotech has already been arcade by some countries the 1st patients got jobs in the u. K. On tuesday and vaccinations may begin in the u. S. On monday russia began administering it sputnik vaccine several weeks ago and out that many governments are still wary as moscow has shared very different data on us and 3 chinese vaccines are also reported to have received approvals one of them is already being used in the u. A. E. But its uncertain how widely these are being distributed elsewhere millions of doses have been ordered by governments around the wild but its not clear who will get them fast and when or even if poor a hard hit countries can get the supplies they need. Well americans will receive there faster says other vaccine from monday as the u. S. Experiences its toughest period of this kind an excel file almost 300000 people have now died of cover 1000 and the wild west affected nation john henry reports from washington d. C. In the nation most devastated by the Global Pandemic the 1st doses of the 1st approved vaccine or on the move within the next 24 hours they will begin moving in vaccine from the Pfizer Manufacturing facility to the u. P. S. And fed ex hopes and then it will go out to the 636. 00 Locations Nationwide the 1st 145. 00 sites in the u. S. Are expected to receive the vaccine on monday with the rest receiving it by wednesday now front line responders like dr ben you sachin colorado will be among the 1st to be vaccinated against cove of 19 i am going to be one of the tips of the spear when the 1st people to step in to help generate these herd immunity which is sold ford to us to get a grip on this terrible disease those 1st vaccinations will happen just days after the u. S. Food and Drug Administration approved it on friday science and data guided the f. D. A. Decision we worked quickly based on the urgency of this pandemic not because of any other extra no pressure that external pressure came from President Trump who on friday tweeted to han to quote get the damn vaccines out now. The vaccine has shown to be 95 percent effective in preventing covert 1000 transmission but it must be stored it all true cold temperatures the road to immunity across the u. S. Is likely to be paved with pain and tragedy the head of the u. S. Centers for Disease Control says over the next 60 to 90 days some 3000 americans thats more than were killed in the 911 attacks will die each day of covert 19 and then there are the conspiracy theorists and skeptics who say they will refuse to take it i think sometimes. And. I dont think id even fall with it because i dont know one soul. That has this know a lot of people that represents just one of the logistical conundrums for president elect joe biden he has set a goal of inoculating 100000000 americans within 100 days of his inauguration on january 20th john hendren aljazeera washington. He is of all adjusted. He explains the global distribution. If we look on to the vaccine efficacy of course the fight it and they are close to 90 to 95 percent which is certainly beyond our expectation but when we go on to the next generation of vaccines for example talking about this final form in the u. A. E. That has a 92 percent of the cases thats what they proposed at least for the next 5 years almost at the same level of fear to be 70 percent so once the 1st. Front runner vaccines will be taken up by most of the melting nations we were left with the vaccine those are probably at least demand in these countries that would be willing another challenge to distribute because even for example if we teach to 50 percent of the population in the developing were sort of acting that is 50 percent effective basically we are covering only 25 percent of the population which isnt sufficient enough to establish your immunity but it has been a certain level of vaccine it has a chance even before the closure of 19 and but it has intensified because primarily the rumors and the speed of the Vaccine Development and probably more importantly their trust and this is even more penetrated into the black. Minorities i mean if we talk about the u. K. Itself i mean in london one of the sort of indicated that only 40 percent of the black people will take the vaccine compared to 70 percent in the. English white so that is really a big difference and that is going to be one of the major challenges how to build trust and that has to be trained really by the government to bring all the stakeholders on board because until we dont really immunize 75 percent of the population we are not achieving the herd immunity and we wouldnt be breaking the transmission chain of this infections germany is now on posing strict. Measures that will now last until the middle of january. Then necessary to reduce the sad cases my stores and schools will be closed and social contacts are now fathom limited germany confirmed more than 20000. 00 cases on sunday. Well the u. K. Is it correct that negotiated david frost is in brussels as a deadline looms to agree a trading deal british Prime Minister Barak Johnson and the European Commission president asked have on the line i just speak by phone very shortly and were expecting a statement of some sort after that call barbara sara is standing by for us in London Investments will speak to her very shortly but 1st lets go to paul brennan hes outside the European Commission in brussels for us paul as we were saying i give talks last night late into the night there under way again this morning but the sticking points are still stuck. It looks like the talks are finished frankly the information that were getting is that the phone call between Boris Johnson and silvana len started in the last few minutes it was due start at around 1112 noon our time here in brussels and a statement is expected sometime within the next hour sometime between around 1130. 00 g. M. T. And 12 noon g. So it doesnt appear that were coming to the final decision on this whether it will be a decision for a deal i dont think so what was really at stake here it was the 2 leaders getting together and deciding whether there was enough glimmer of hope enough Common Ground for them to agree to continue talking or whether the differences were simply too great that this you call it off and finally admit defeat and agree that no deal is the most likely or is the only outcome indications where theres a lot of pressure of for from the stakeholders on both sides are live on the land is getting a lot of pressure from. Well member nations of europe islands this morning to me home martin saying that no deal would be unthinkable the Spanish Foreign minister was on the television this morning saying that frankly that should be a deal at all costs i think that be a few people who disagree with you at all costs elements of that but the Boris Johnson of course is also under pressure from both sides of his own conservative party im sure bob will talk about that in a minute but we dont know exactly whats going to happen theres been various named Anonymous Sources and leaks but what are the sticking points and what have they managed to get soon as far as the last few days since weapons they used in well simply have to wait until the statements within the next hour or so find out exactly how far how much progress has been made in these in these 45 days in the senate bringing all the nations on that here on aljazeera program and theyre watching those talks for us in brussels thanks so much paul well lets now cross over to london where barbara sara is outside westminster for us barbara as we wait for this call and the statement are brits now really preparing for a possible no deal break sent. In the sense i think its really in the last few days that it became apparent when the Prime Minister himself said that or no deal was becoming very likely that people have started properly preparing for it and weve heard from the government has announced contingency plans that the country is prepared the government has said around 5000000000. 00 have been set aside for extra Border Guards for example it just patrol officers just to ease the what is predicted to be various blocks to the entry points of the u. K. Now obviously not everyone is convinced by the governments optimism supermarkets have been told by Food Producers they may have to stockpile even Car Manufacturers have told their suppliers to us stockpile for various parts of the truth is that we are less than 3 weeks away from the 31st of the summer which is when the transition period will end there still is no real clarity on the horse that may come in the past in the next half hour or so far as johnson obviously has always said that you know sovereignty was the big issue for him its been very interesting reading a lot of the newspapers today now that said the no deal option is becoming ever more of concrete and real its been interesting i had to see how many in a way as paul was in thing that the conservative party itself this course played over it many people saying that of course a no trade deal with the e. U. Is a failure for both sides but many others say that the issue of sovereignty was always key in the brakes at referendum and that cannot be compromised in any way and truly a no deal bracks it is a failure not just for the u. K. But for the e. U. As well but the e. U. Can dive you know the negative effects across the 27 member nations which of course the you in the u. K. Cannot. Do that with all the latest for us from london thanks so much barbara. Well moving on now and hundreds of students in nigeria feared missing after gunmen stormed a secondary school and kidnap a number of children there the attackers arrived on motorbikes at the boarding school and concur a district thats in northern Katsina State. Reports. These are some of the boys relieved to be going home after the school raid in which many of their friends were taken hostage there leaving behind parents anxiously waiting for the return of their missing children. Sincerely speaking we here in Katsina State are in a terrifying condition we dont see the value of the government i have a younger brother and a child taken by the kidnappers im from dan jack Katsina State and ive been here in the school since dawn and yet there is no update. Its not clear how many children have been abducted from the all Boys Boarding School Nigerian Police say they forced the gunman to retreat after engaging them in a shootout for more than one hour but this anger that 6 years up to more than 270. 00 girls were kidnapped by the armed Group Boko Haram at chip work Nigerian Security forces appear to have once again failed to keep School Children safe for rates to be that we have him a job or tragedy of. Hundreds and hundreds of students once again in the country is an indication that we learned no lessons from the previous tragedy there is something called the sieves Call Initiative this government should ask itself how seriously it has to conduct initiatives. Abductions have become increasingly common in nigeria just 2 days before the School Abduction a village elder along with 20 others was kidnapped in the same state the governor has ordered the immediate closure of all boarding schools while investigations are underway barbara aljazeera. Chair political and security analyst at afi he says Katsina State is a long way from back around to usual areas of operations in the northeast its very likely that these are bonded not not because like we saw happen in 2 in 2014 that is because the air off operation here its. Not with ninja particularly cussing usted and this this disgusting now is on for us that in northwest and is known to have serious. Attacks from some bandits on called knitted groups that dont really have any any in my line intention against it or trying to impose any policy on the state or institutions understood that we have a book this is a just criminal element operating freely i would see in northwest and europe so even before i have them kidnapping they also have been reports that be particularly invested in illegal mining also to fund the operation of this it will lead to dick to the governor of them for us its shutting down all my minds just like you saw what was in the government of course not that i was even close on boarding schools you know in the state following the u. S. News and issues you we are losing you reactionary. Booster when it comes to protecting life and propriety you know in northwest and. Pretty much yourself and you and your. Well still ahead here on aljazeera dramatic pledges as well they does mark the 5th anniversary of the paris Climate Court but will they be enough to prevent catastrophe. Venezuelas opposition holds a symbolic vote asking people if they want president Nicolas Maduro out. Of.

To go she is in brussels as a deadline looms to agree a trading deal negotiators from both the e. U. And the u. K. Have warned a new deal outcome is most likely. Now more than half of the 70 countries involved in the un climate talks have unveiled additional goals for 2030 but organizers say its still not enough to stop dangerous Global Warming this century china for instance has pledged to speed up the expansion of wind and solar power the u. K. Is announced it will no longer fund overseas fossil fuel projects and pakistan says it wont produce additional power based on coal but a strain on brazil both of the major emitters failed to make ambitious enough that just to even qualify to speak at an online summit and the Outgoing Administration of us president who pulled washington out of the paris accord didnt take part. Well 5 years after that landmark deal on Climate Change was signed the u. N. Chief is now sounding another warning about the future of our partners and terrorists use the anniversary of the paris accord to plead with wild leaders to declare climate imagine seize he says its vital to the nations act now for the sake of future generations sonic reports. Behind the crisis of a Global Pandemic another danger is waiting in the wings the Climate Emergency fueling Global Warming and according to the United Nations with devastating consequences for humankind if we dont change course we may be headed for a catastrophic temperature rise of more than 3 degrees the century. Any body still deny that we are facing that the domestic emergency if you strike today i call on only those worldwide to declare a state of Climate Emergency in their countries and youve got to look reality is reached. 5 years on from the launch of the u. N. Climate summit when 196. 00 countries signed on to prevent the rise in Global Temperatures the organization is sounding the alarm of ophelias to curb Greenhouse Gas emissions. Where some countries have acted on their commitments others have not. One country which has seen the effects of Climate Change is australia the worlds number one exporter of coal its economy is heavily reliant on fossil fuels and over the past 5 years it has moved away from its commitment to cut Carbon Emissions. In recent years devastating bushfires have ravaged the country set off by record breaking temperatures as well as severe droughts and the us where in the past 4 decades the yearly wildfires in the west have grown 8 times larger the outgoing President Donald Trump controversially pulled the country out of the a court a policy that left many dismayed yet the commitment by president elect joe biden to rejoin the accords was welcomed at the Virtual Summit was a moment we find ourselves in an important moment days after the United States president elect joe biden has expressed his desire to rejoin the Paris Agreement and i really want to tell our american friends welcome back welcome home the impacts of Climate Change have been more evident in recent years from melting ice caps to intense hurricanes and rising sea levels while they have been extra efforts to set up green of forms of energy the question will be how leaders deal with the current economic slump caused by the pandemic will they stick to their promises or will Economic Growth once again take precedence in a world that is experiencing more extreme weather phenomena sun able aljazeera and also have an interview with patricia is the executive secretary of the Un Framework Convention on Climate Change you can watch that here at 1930 g. M. T. Ill talk to al jazeera. Well i was speaking to mark haddon he is the director of the Climate Change institute at the Israeli National university he says while an increasing number of countries are committing to net 0 Carbon Emissions it isnt clear how they will actually achieve that it seems to me that the summit was successful in the sense of it wanted to maintain momentum ahead of the glasgow conference of parties next year and and the 5 year mark of the Paris Agreement when there was always an expectation that governments would step up with increased commitment the commitments under the Paris Agreement simply arent enough to put a hold on Climate Change were hitting more towards 3 degrees than keeping it to 1. 5 or 2 so there is a very significant reason for concern here but what we did see was a large number of countries stepping up increasing their levels of commitment but they still question marks about how theyre going to do that and so increasingly were seeing net 0 commitments so roughly 2 thirds of the economies across the world have either got a commitment or are planning to put in a commitment like that but not necessarily with good good detailed plans about how theyre actually going to do that in a Cost Effective way and maintaining Economic Growth and sustainability at the same time the latest science actually indicates that at the moment were likely to get to 1. 5 degree early in the 2030 years so thats not very far away and and so we do need to accelerate their mission reductions the sorts of Emission Reductions that the u. K. Has announced that the us announced of 55. 00 or 60 percent reductions is the sort of ambition or that by 2030 is the sort of ambition that we need globally and we need to deliver on that Afghan Police say 3 people have been killed in attacks on the capital a prosecutor who was shot dead in the east of kabul and in a separate attack 2 people were killed in a bomb blast targeting a member of parliament no group has yet claimed responsibility.

Well venezuelas oppositions has millions of people there have taken part in a nonbinding poll called by mainstream Opposition Leader one versus the us to support calls for president nicholas majority to step down and to hold new elections in america at a certain scene ports. The fact that their votes would not be recognized as valid by the magruder government did not stop these venezuelans from casting ballots in an opposition organized referendum aimed at showing the International Community that they want president Nicolas Maduro out jacki and that is what were plagued by government violence their armed groups everywhere we need the well to intervene one way or another to end this. Despite reports of armed gangs loyal to mother attacking some of the estimated 3000 makeshift polling stations Opposition Leader one by door said millions had voted online or in person you know they have a look at this the illegitimate unconstitutional and fraudulent electoral process carried out last sunday by madeira has been defeated.

Every takes in order to promote freedom and free elections in venezuela because we dont have another option and the other option is to surrender and we wont surrender. Perhaps not but more and more venezuelans are leaving the country rather than fighting for change at home and after nearly 2 years of failed attempts to force out of my little rekindling faith in the current opposition strategy they take more than a symbolic referendum to see in human aljazeera some p.
