they crack down on us while mentally the mod a cracked out the strong good of revolution a we have decided review continue into we've been in a news conference the military just to restated its intention of holding on to power only until new elections can be held. election fraud in november's polling was its reason for the power grab yet the generals have provided no evidence of it . they also accuse deposed civilian leader aung sang suu kyi of taking bribes and others in her cabinet of corruption. i did you know young go read you know mr peel mean said he gave. himself $600000.00 in cash and 11 kilograms of gold between december of 2017 to march of 2018 so i'm watching the news conference at a yangon tea shop call it one sided and question the jump to placing blame on protesters for starting the violence when they have no weapons. and they are saying that the whole country is carrying out acts of violence it's horrible it's hurtful we have given our time we have given our

clots occurred however the country's health ministry said it wasn't yet clear whether the clots were linked to the vaccine the united kingdom has responded and says the astra zeneca vaccine is safe and effective let's get more on this and go live to paul broaden our correspondent in london and really it's about the reaction of astra zeneca to what denmark and norway have done. yes and i think it's also about the reaction of the general population as well i think one of the reasons why the health regulators and the drug companies are wanting to get involved in this at a very early stage bearing in mind we're literally talking about a handful of cases i think 4 cases is what we're talking about here is because of the fear that misinformation dissin from nation might dissuade a wider public to take up the vaccine when they're available and they haven't been hugely available across europe at the moment so it's important that when people do have the opportunity that they at least take the educated and overview of it now as far as these these cases go denmark it's 2 cases one is a death the other one is blood clots and what the denish are saying is that they have decided to stop using the astra zeneca vaccine for the next 2 weeks while they investigate whether there is a link between these 2 blood clots events and the taking of the vaccine austria is another one where there's been one death and one blood clot incident again austria not sure the reaction from the authorities as you say has been quite strong astra zeneca saying the safety of its vaccine has been studied in human trials and peer reviewed data confirmed it was generally well tolerated your opinions drug regulator the european medicines agency saying the number of events in people who have the vaccine was no higher than you would expect to see in the general population 22 cases. being reported among the 3000000 people who so far taken the vaccine in the u.k. were 11000000 people have taken the astra zeneca vaccine so far the regulator here said safety was of paramount importance and we continue to monitor to make sure the benefits outweigh the potential risks but the danish authorities suspensions precautionary blood clots can occur naturally and are not common for the broad and force the in blood. now the assassination campaign has now reached more than 93000000 people us just shy of 20 percent of the population 2000000 are being vaccinated every day but the number of people rejecting the vaccine is also quite sizable and as rob reynolds found out it's time caught up in party politics and conspiracy theories. in recent weeks and months coated skeptics have stormed shopping centers denouncing customers wearing masks. others disrupted a major vaccination center in los angeles claiming the vaccine is harmful and part of a left wing plot. people in idaho rallied to stage a public mask burning ceremony. coppa deniers are busy spreading their message on social media this is the covert deception guys they want to see of us they want to control us they want to put this muzzle our face this mask now researchers and lawmakers say anti-vaccination groups and covert deniers are merging with the pro trump armed groups whose followers attacked the u.s. capitol in january many anti vaccine leaders embraced conspiracies like you anon and joined group white supremacist groups like the proud voice so you see this alignments with these other conspiracy groups and right wing organizations. anti-vaccination propaganda is partisan in nature growing partly out of ex-president donald trump's repudiation of mass wearing and his repeated denials that the coronavirus caused serious illness the seeds of science denial and then to intellectual ism run very deep in culture it's her stronger right now among republicans a february poll shows 42 percent of republicans say they will never get vaccinated some of the covert conspiracy theories are outlandish on a par with the beliefs of q anon at harriet's about a global kobol of satan worshipping pedophiles or the believe that the vaccine is being manufactured to oh oh bill gates to microchip people it's not a matter of intelligence it's not a matter of mental illness or friends knew these are mistakes that you've been even very. well educated very intelligent people can make dr richard pan is a california state senator and he's a practicing pediatrician he says the conspiracy theorists in danger millions the dangers of allowing people to spread lies about vaccines actually endangers all of us and it slows our ability to stop this disease which has already chilled over half a 1000000 americans pan and others call for stronger social media fact checking and removal of conspiracists material online is a large group of americans continues to reject reality the by did ministrations goal of near universal adult vaccination and a return to some semblance of normal life may prove elusive rob reynolds al-jazeera los angeles times sparring is an assistant professor of population health science and policy at mount sinai hospital joins me now live via skype from geneva always good to have you on the program dr spiral and we've discussed obviously covert 19 for well over a year now with you and your colleagues but the public is still very concerned and watching this program still let me questions i want to ask so if you are an individual waiting for the vaccine what questions come someone ask if they are a little nervous about the vaccines that are being presented to them well. i think you know the main thing the main thing that we are we need to actually remember is that it doesn't matter what backseat in front of you made out of that think that saving lives or of our lives and that of one that was or protecting us there i think again extended that meant mannings out there and you need patients nominate them are nice describe him go man we're going to convene continues the bands and some of those we already know the show is. solely the right question is. and you know that it had been shown to be saved yes all of that seemed to 12 that thing that had been authorized in a new had been shown to be safe. with the cap yet been that the ones that i would say that the ones that have. global north private them again are. vaccines certainly the chinese that things have a track record not being saved and i would guess that a chinese factory take it yeah i mean it's but it's not reassurance really is there for the general public because one of the big questions has been is how can these vaccines all of been produced so quickly when the checks and balances that are in place to produce vaccines can sometimes take decades we know scientists. and epidemiologists have answered that question on this channel many many times but if you wouldn't mind just reassuring you want to say the public at large that they are nervous about what how quickly these vaccines have been made and how quickly they've been authorized. that's absolutely valid a know we keep saying it's a miracle and scientists have accomplished a miracle in developing back so quickly when it does normally take 5 to 10 years so it's understandable that people might think really have corners been cut you know what is going on and the answer to that is no i mean we have seen these these trials being performed and that is what phase 3 trials are designed to bring out for the safety issues and any concerns that would be listed then. then we can you know see if there's any side effects of any kind that would be of concern so you know as a pediatrician or the public or specialist someone who borrows is something very closely i would have no hesitation about taking any of the rx that. currently being rolled out across europe across the u.k. across you know when we need them. we of course that we you know one of the problems i guess is that we haven't invested in the trust that we meaning the minute that you know we had the backing the quickly started making vaccines but we forgot that you know take actually relies on people in the day and when politicians use vaccine this critical problem where it just doesn't work but what we have to remember that vaccines are a mass weapons. and they're not the only thing that work but. against our risk. that this is the single most important way of actually stopping the wires. and evolves into new and malicious variants. in the u.s. already has become the face of the vaccination program i mean gives the impression that we know less about the side effects if any but when weighing up the pros and cons of the situation the world faces. knowing these vaccines do work it's better to take them but not. yeah i mean there is nothing that is there rick that duration but actually when you look at the side of that that seems safer then you know then the next thing that we. program that we consider routine that thing for example and it's very difficult of course when when you have a new vaccine and when you see something which anything can be. linked perhaps but you have to been do what they read and go slow down or stop it's fine it's fine it's understandable that we're all on edge and up tight and we're worried but we actually have to remember that if there were serious safety. concerns we would have seen them in the base 3 trials that is exactly what they designed to bring out and you know what we actually need to actually see now is that they're also going to say pregnant women because we normally don't include those in the trials and. guesses we know that about things in preventing the 2nd pregnancy we have no reason to suspect that so i think. you know the women as well the pregnant women as well and that's the important. population but. we we have to have phase i think in our scientists and their studies that we have to date and. you know i think that's the strongest thing about the global health community is that there's a lot of trust. in the scientists and the go up to date well it's always good to get your opinion and also your insight thanks so much to any spar with joining us from geneva thank you. the year after the global pandemic was declared the u.s. house of representatives has approved president joe biden's nearly 2 trillion dollars over $1000.00 released bill it's one of the largest spending plans in america's history now the package includes funding for more than it seems and extends unemployment benefits alan fischer has more for washington d.c. thank you it's an applause the host delivered joe biden's wife's significant victory as president of $1.00 trillion dollars covert relief bill and all done without a single republican vote in support. this is a momentous day in the history of our country because we have passed historic consequential and transformative legislation thanks goes to the senators who are standing here are great committee chairs and all of our senators who pulled together as one unit beating back killer amendments making sure the bill was as strong as possible the bill has overwhelming support across the country 61 percent approval but republicans claim it spends far too much and delivers far too little we are here today mr speaker because democrats made a choice. i choice to put their own partisan political ambitions ahead of the needs of the working class the deal delivers $1400.00 stimulus checks to every qualifying american targeted mainly at lower incomes there's 350000000000 dollars for states cities and tribal governments 130000000000 for schools 40000000000 for further education and 50000000000 in relief for small businesses the package was a big pre-election promise from biden he wanted to do it with republican support but was happy to push on without it. everything in the american rescue plan addresses a real need including investments to fund our entire vaccination effort more vaccines more vaccinate tours and more vaccination sites millions more americans will get tested including home test schools will soon have the funding and resources to reopen safely a national imperative biden is expected to sign the bill when it hits his desk on friday the administration says the 1st checks could start going out soon with many people receiving their money before the end of the month alan fischer al-jazeera washington. plenty more ahead here on the al-jazeera news hour including the foreign ministers of russia and turkey hold a meeting in doha with the goal of addressing the humanitarian situation in syria. also after the fukushima nuclear disaster some countries said they were rethinking their use of nuclear power a decade later confused changed but argentinians march on the streets demanding answers for the death of football legend good maradona who will have the details in sport. but the united nations is holding. a special session on the rising threat of hunger especially in yemen and parts of ethiopia the head of the world food program has begun looking at private donations the agency needs an extra $600000.00 to provide aid to yemen in the next 6 months nearly half a 1000000 yemeni children need immediate assistance to save them from starvation david beasley says those who've made it to hospitals on the brink of death are the lucky ones it's a horrific situation it really years i went to what would be the best hospital. room to room to room with us all children literally. the lucky ones that actually get into the workout the doctor that's it how many years you had on here and he said 25 or so what do you do with the word that you know that curve and you don't have room for us should we stop them oh so whatever. food supplies are running dangerously low in ethiopia's northern region have to grow where millions are in urgent need of the port people arriving at camps for the displaced in the region say they've survived by eating leaves aid agencies say there isn't enough space for the thousands turning up every day and people are being forced to sleep outside while on to other news now and cattles foreign minister has held talks with the russian and turkish top diplomats here in doha now the talks focused on finding a way to deliver humanitarian aid to people in syria russia and turkey back opposing sides in syria's war now in its 10th year turkey's foreign minister expressed hope for a breakthrough. we are contributing with our efforts for a sustainable political stability for syria of course unfortunately the conflict has been going on for 10 years and we have witnessed many unfortunate events our wish is to see that syria's legitimate request will find a result within the criteria of the united nations and turkey. to last we are constantly coordinating with our counterparts in russia and that's why we do not see any bilateral meetings as come. to the diplomatic process all the efforts aiming at peace all the bilateral meetings are supportive in other words as they are meant to support the collective efforts towards lasting peace and they are all belt transparency between qatar and russia and with fully appreciate the support provided by the russian 2 words the doha efforts with respect to the afghanis issue. smith was at the news conference and more on the major issues discussed. well we're 10 years on from those 1st and the acid protests in syria and we're 4 years on from the russian led a start the process is bringing together russia iran and turkey to try and find a political solution to the crisis in that country but we seem to be no further on the survey lavrov russian's foreign russia's foreign minister said today this meeting between the 3 countries was another way of trying to achieve a political solution for this start a process if the russians had their way would ultimately lead probably with the assad regime staying in charge we have the m.r. artie's yesterday or earlier this week calling for syria to be real out reintroduced into the arab league the catheters when asked about that weren't interested in seeing syria at this stage back in the arab league and turkey which of course is not in the arab league but it said never to have a soul of the foreign minister of turkey said that the syrian regime wants a new military solution it doesn't believe in a political solution so despite least 3 countries getting together no indication that there are any closer than they ever have been to finding a political solution to what's happening in syria also on the agenda was afghanistan talks started here in september peace talks between the afghan government and the taliban they've been on off here in this very hotel since then they haven't achieved very much the u.s. last week sending a letter to the afghan president saying they want to find a new political solution to afghanistan so they can withdraw their troops and now the russians saying that next week in moscow they're going to have a meeting to try and find is another way forward for afghanistan but they were keen to point out that that was not taking away from the talks that are happening here in doha al-jazeera senior political analyst paul bashara says russia is crucial in ending the conflict in syria. clearly since the russians got involved militarily in 2015 things might have stabilized in favor of the assad regime and his russian patrons but russia has ended up with a major crisis on its hand as as most international humanitarian organization would tell you there are some 600000 dead syrians today after 10 years of conflict 600000 there are 6000000 refugees and 10000000 people lack food security so clearly after 10 years of conflict of civil war this issue needs to be resolved and while other issues like afghanistan and yemen have their own processes the process that took place in geneva has not succeeded yet the so-called constitutional process because of the stubbornness of the assad regime so clearly if russia needs a solution turkey and qatar and others are interested in helping out but the elephant in the room is of course the absent american because hardly anyone can provide help without america 1st 15 sanctions. national security advisers from the u.s. and israel holding a virtual meeting to coordinate on security concerns in the middle east iran is expected to be a major topic of discussion israel opposes the 2015 nuclear agreement with world powers while the biden ministration has signaled it wants to return to the deal its course over to a white house correspondent kelly health in washington d.c. but of course what these 2 nations do talk about strategic partnerships kimberley and regional issues we do expect iran to be high on the agenda. now there is no question that this is likely to be the primary agenda item as these 2 sides meet virtually to discuss the issues the press release saying that it is regional issues but of course that is really just. explanation for trying to prevent iran from getting a nuclear weapon which has been a stated goal of both sides now we know from the past when joe biden was vice president that there was a similar working group but at the same time there was also some very vocal opposition back when joe biden was vice president by israeli leader benjamin netanyahu who was very public about the u.s. not joining the j.c. p.o.a.'s so perhaps the meeting is also geared towards that trying to kind of prevent a very public acrimony that we saw the last time that joe biden was in office and of course there's an upcoming election the full so i think in 2 years for israel and a change in the white house so really many sort of new relationships and working dynamics that have to be sort of worked through. well it leaves a level of uncertainty and that has been a problem for this white house given kind of the instability of the the israeli government certainly they know and have a relationship from the past but moving forward becomes less clear now joe biden has been repeatedly saying that he wants the united states to return to the j c p a way that there is an effort to get that under way but at the same time there is also stalemate going on between the united states and iran given the fact that the united states is saying that they in order to return to the deal need to see compliance by iran iran is saying that there need to be sanctions lifted so in the midst of this there is also this messaging problem coming out of israel and the instability of the election so as a result this meeting is going to try and work out all of those issues we believe there is a very clear intention of the united states that it was to move forward and it knows that it needs to do so with israel on board and again ovoid in the sort of public headlines that may have worked against the u.s. goals for the update thanks very much could be held at our white house correspondent. well still ahead here on the al-jazeera news on china's annual national people's congress is wrapped up we'll tell you about some of the new laws not what it could mean for hong kong and the keys to full be a massive cocaine smuggling network how u.s. allegations against them during president could affect immigration and i'll be no redondo will messy in the champions league quarter finals to barcelona i don't doubt my p.s.g. that's coming up in sports with joe stay with us. how i recall some rather active weather moving across the middle east over the next couple of days a fair bit of right sleet and snow piling outs it's asked going to make its way across the caucasus georgia or armenia azerbaijan all seeing significant snowfall as we go through the next couple days northern parts of iraq could see some snow northern areas of iran certainly in with a chance to see some significant snowfall and watches for a temperature drop 13 celsius in tehran 33 in kuwait even here in doha we're going to warm 35 celsius that brisk wind 50 dust and sand but look at the temperatures for why friday going on into sas day 25 celsius a 10 degree drop here in doha so freshening up 13 degree drop there in kuwait ready getting up to 7 celsius therefore tear around that right statement snow that will make its way across tech menaced on northern parts of afghanistan let's look further south with things with a good deal quater the u.a.e. yemen doing too badly and that dry weather that comes down across the horn of africa chief on it right here all the way down across the rift valley like we told you looking pretty good because some hevia showers 7 c. northern parts of madagascar northern areas of mozambique through zambia those heavy showers right all the way up into the gulf of guinea. 100 media totally going to miss you envision such a small things that everyone always everyone it's great easy to corrupt the system . we give out. we didn't say. it's a film that helped bring down a corrupt government and led to the jailing of the former president. al jazeera investigates stealing paradise. when the news breaks what would be considered a hero

number of cases of blood clots but that most health ministry says it's not yet clear whether the clots were linked to the vaccine. but iran's nuclear program is expected to be a major topic of discussion at a meeting of top security officials from the u.s. and israel holding a virtual meeting to discuss issues in the middle east. japan is marking 10 years since a magnitude 9 earthquake and tsunami devastated its northeastern coast killing thousands of people it triggered meltdowns at the fukushima daiichi nuclear plant forcing entire communities to flee some people have since returned but the recovery is still far from over al-jazeera fadi salim air reports now from for taba in fukushima prefecture. the port of ok door is just 5 kilometers from the fukushima daiichi nuclear plant it would be easy from here to mistake the boats masts for the water cooling towers and the cranes on that he actors that office it was only a year ago 9 years after the disaster the port was allowed to be used again as they live in or for the asian had gone down to what are termed normal limits. it was something the. fishermen were waiting for but today they are not in the mood what fishing. they want to mourn all those lost in the tsunami. because you know what and i would like his photographs of the additional celebrations in the town of soma the birthplace of somewhere i want years to provide inspiration haiti is not going into favor one day i mean i don't know maybe no one will come to see my photos but if somebody does i hope they inspire them with courage to overcome the challenges ahead. japan has undergone a massive reconstruction project since 2011 rebuilding homes and ports repairing ships and building hundreds of kilometers of falls along its coastline in case of another tsunami. was but when you travel along the route 6 which she is just 3 kilometers from the fukushima plant you realize there are signs showing the amount of one of the asian in there. the fukushima plant has 6 reactors 3 of them to be removed that could take at least 10 years then there is another 30 years for the cleanup of the entire sites but there are also other challenges the 1st is getting rid of fragile active water more than 1000000 tons of it and there is no space to store and more next year. you know we have no possibility of building new reserve was to conserve contaminated water we are awaiting the government's decision after careful consideration of the situation. but there is also the matter of contaminated waste 14000000 cubic meters of it. they're contaminated ways. for the future of this border in warehouses like here in just 30 kilometers away from the nuclear plant but then to know no one knows how or when that would happen but he said i mean i just put our jonathan karp is a senior analyst at the world nuclear association joins me now from london good to have you with us mr kopp i mean how polarized is the debate becoming about sort of the need for nuclear energy and its. being a clean alternative in a world riven by climate change issues well i think what happened after the accident inversion mandated she is that round the world nuclear reactor operators governments and regulators carried out stress tests to find out if there was anything they needed to do to make their reactors more resilient to learn from what happened at fukushima daiichi and having done that and i think in many countries governments are looking at their energy policies they're wanting to hit net 0 carbon emissions by 2050 and they realize many of them that they're going to need nuclear energy along with all the other carbon options like wind solar and hydro in order to reach that target to reach that target obviously you have to try to win over the public i mean just weeks before the disaster at fukushima a japanese filmmaker i think hitomi coming back or delivered a sort of a sympathetic view of and to nuclear activism by local communities sort of reflecting the sort of broader sentiment of living near to nuclear waste or fearing health issues that is going challenge is it not for governments from as far wide as japan to germany germany changing their policy obviously in the last 10 decade last decade. yes there is a new issue to do with public understanding and public attitudes towards nuclear energy but i think one of the things that we can learn from is that recently just in the last couple of days a un report is being released that it's concluded that there will be no health effects discernable for the people of the shima and therefore i hope the people in fukushima as well as around the world they are reassured by their expert advice and the expert study so really if they understand the true impact they will have a better understanding of nuclear energy and put it into context with a much bigger mess of climate change and event pollution which really are the things that are threatening us globally but it has been a public you might say a public change in thought in japan and it's reflected in other countries as well about whether they need nuclear power as such and if you already have reactors should they be maintained because you really don't want to build a new one we're seeing what that 45 at least reactors in japan have been closed down that reduces their energy capacity from 30 percent to 9 percent and the public don't seem to have a problem with that there cannot be reflected around the world. well we look around the world only one country germany decided to close its reactors rapidly in reaction to the fukushima daiichi accident and there they have clones many of their reactors they're all due to close by next year and the consequence of that has been that they are much more reliant on coal generation than they should be they've been building renewables but they've been replacing low carbon nuclear with a renewable capacity rather than tackling coal which is what most of the countries are doing they realise the true harm from generation that coal produces so gently really has some very dirty electricity because of that choice but looking more globally and it's individual examples of of germany. since 2011 more than 60 nuclear reactors have started up around the world and more than 40 have started construction since 2011 so with these one or 2 exceptions in most countries the commitment to need for energy and the realisation that nuclear energy has got a key role to play in our long term low carbon energy mix is very clear and of course it's a home where we are certainly in doha we're seeing the united arab emirates with their civilian nuclear development producing you know a potentially 30 percent of their electricity needs as gulf countries try or wean themselves off petrochemicals it is going to become get this could be a tipping point as that surely about whether nuclear energy is is the way forward in the light of what's happened to to what happened in japan 10 years ago. well i think the thing to remember is that no one solution is going to be the thing that can give us all our energy needs so with wind and solar you rely on and on the wind in the sun being available so they have a great deal to add to the energy mix they have a great contribution but if you want to be able to rely on electricity supplies 247 you need something that can operate in back kind of reliability and in terms of mo carbon electricity period really the one big option there is available that can be deployed anywhere and if we're going to have real solutions to tackling climate change real solutions to tackling our pollution problems but at the same time making sure people have them at the electricity to meet their needs is going to have to be alongside the low carbon other options in order to get back to and go realized well thanks very much for your insights on the cob analyst at the world nuclear association joining us from london thank you time. but china has approved changes to limit democratic participation in hong kong's elections its annual national people's congress pass new laws to veto and screen candidates night follows mass protests in the semi autonomous territory in 2019 calling for greater freedoms prime minister nico chang says that the reform would ensure hong kong is governed by what he calls patriots wave model the meeting made a decision on improving the election system of the hong kong special administrative region or delegates highly agreed and have expressed to the strong determination of the people of all ethnic groups in the country including hakim patry gets to safeguard national sovereignty security and development interests and maintain the hong kong's constitutional order. adrian brown has more kong or what the electoral reforms will mean for the territories activists. i think the future for the pro-democracy movement is very grim indeed according to the few commentators still prepared to speak out here they say that democracy has now been in their words extinguished here in hong kong in fact even one of the kerry lands key advisors bernard chan who's one of her closest advisors has said in many ways hong kong has gone back to the situation it was in in the eighty's when hong kong of course was still a british colony and he says that you know that's how bad the situation is you know what little democracy hong kong has had has now gone and remember this was a system that in many ways was already rigged in china's favor so in many ways it's also academic as to why china has had to do this because almost the entire leadership of the pro-democracy bloc is now either arrested or have fled the country now china has made clear that only patriots in future will rule hong kong or indeed hold positions of authority of power here in hong kong and just a few days ago we got a definition from a senior chinese official here as to exactly what a patriot was he says it's loving china under the leadership of the chinese communist party so in other words loving the country equals loving the party. ivory coast has gone through 3 cycles of presidential and parliamentary elections since the end of its civil war and each was marked by tension and violence and we did just reports not from our vision of the painful and slow process of reconciliation . in a busy corner of
