The loss was felt across the world. For us, diego was a terminal for our whole life. He led argentina to the top. Its difficult for everyone. Ive seen newspapers in france and in england, they all talk about. Its incredible. However, the chaos that blighted much of marathoners life spilled into events, marking his death fans clashed with police after the gates to the Government Palace where he was lying in state closed, denying them the chance to pay their last respects with his dad has come. The opportunity to reflect on what diego matter, dawna gave to the world of football to this neighborhood to argentina. The answer for many is everything. They created shrines of football grounds where he played a bookie juniors and here the continues juniors grounds named after him, where he began his professional career as a 15 year old in 1976. Wood. Diego is the people, hes the people, its what he most identified with. He never forgot his origins, the happiness he brought this family for all these families, not only said will follow my, i dont want to judge him badly because he represented all our misery.

President donald trump says he will leave the white house if the Electoral College confirms the victory of president elect joe biden, speaking for the 1st time since the election, trump said it would be a mistake if biden was confirmed an added it would be difficult to concede. He also repeated unfounded claims about the election being stolen from him because of fraudulent votes. Bidens inauguration is set to take place january 20th. If the only problem was i might as well to my daughter nothing to this, nor did i just say yes of. Certainly i will certainly i will. And you know that, but i think that there will be a lot of things happening between now and the 20th of january. More on this from my canner in washington. Certainly its the 1st time as well that President Trump has explicitly said that he will leave the white house should. This is expected. The Electoral College confirm the president elect biden as the countrys next president. Now, president saying that hes still not going to concede, insisting that theres a lot of battles still to go continuing to insist with no evidence whatsoever that the the election was fraudulent. But all of that ends affectively when the Electoral College votes in mid december, basically all the electors in their respective states will confirm the votes, which at the present stands for 306. 00 Electoral College votes for joe biden. 232. 00 for donald trump. Now at that point to President Trump saying he will accept the Electoral College is a decision, though if he considers it as a fraud. Well, thats not strictly true. He has got no option, but to accept that decision that is a constitutional point at which the next president is confirmed by the Electoral College. The next step is for congress to certify all of those votes. And then the inauguration on january the 20th one must point out as well, that in more than 30 cases brought by the Trump Campaign or other republican organizations have been defeated in the countrys courts. So certainly he has no grounds whatsoever that would appear to continue to cry fraud, and to continue to cast any doubt whatsoever on the result of the selection. But hes going to continue to do so. It would appear, thousands of farmers are marching towards the indian capital, new delhi, defying orders from police. They are protesting against laws which they say will affect their livelihoods. Some marched as far as 200 kilometers to get to delhi. Others have been stopped by border blockades, calling for the government to roll back the laws that remove guaranteed minimum prices for their projects. Elizabeth purana has more on this. Were at new delhis main protest site jantar mantar, which has become extremely difficult to get to because of the Police Barricades surrounding it on thursday. Police took away any protesters who had arrived here. Protests arent allowed, polices, citing the record high number of coronavirus cases in not giving permission to protest organizers, but that hasnt stopped. Thousands of farmers from neighboring states trying to reach delhi for the 2nd day. They are breaking through Police Barricades on the borders between states. Theyre facing a water cannon tear. Gas was seen more extraordinary pictures today of using tractors to remove trucks, which police say using as barricades. They are determined because they want the government to repeal laws, which they say take away guarantees around prices for minimum support prices and leave them at the mercy of private investors. This is a huge issue in india because around the country is 1300000000. People who work in the agriculture sector, its a sector that doesnt leave before. And the government says that these loans, these changes are going to carry out those reforms. Farmers and trade unions say the changes will only benefit rich corporations and not the average farmer. Were also hearing from local media that delhi police have source permission from the Delhi Government to convert 9 stadiums into temporary prisons in view of these farmers protests. We also spoke to rock chopra on the fun little bit earlier, a reporter for news quick in india, who says the police have set up a strong presence to stop these demonstrators. We are currently at the border which is known as the single border on the side of the delhi, which is the national capital. We have police, they have created a very good thing, so to speak. And on the opposite side, we have the marching farmers. You know, they are from mostly from the state for a fun job. And how do you are not then you have a state that the national capital. And if i give you the garden state does they have decided to stay did not, which is stripping thought this sort of thing in front of the Delhi Police Officials who have. d joined the national capital, the numbers their leadership. I mean it is a swelling as the odd. 1 thing because we have more and more groups of farmers joining who were left out, you know, behind joining. 2 and what is happening in the world is that they would actually teach border points for the farmers, which they have decided to enter the national capital. Coronavirus news now and more than a 1000000 cases of private 19 of been recorded in germany. Since the pandemic began, and so the government is imposing strict and lockdown measures to curb the virus from december, private me gatherings will be restricted to 5 people and only chris to 10 of the christmas. But chancellor Angela Merkels also warned the measures are likely to continue on into january. In britain, the Health Ministers asked regulators to assess the safety of the Oxford University covered 19 vaccine. As looking to get approval for a temporary supply of doses by the end of the year, the u. K. s Health Minister says the move is an important step towards deploying a vaccine as quickly and as safely as possible astra zeneca, which is creating this alongside Oxford University, expects 4000000 doses to be made available by the end of december. And the u. K. s chief medical advisor says he remains confident in the trial results so far. The very people who look at the whole thing theyll see the top of the results. So it is, he said, and weve got a great privilege in the u. K. And the look at it. No, dont make their own decisions around it. So i think you get one result of this vaccine works only. Thats very exciting and its going to be put forward for approval. Regulators will need to be truthful about their mother. World Health Organizations executive director says the vaccine will allow for greater control of covert 19, but might run also want. It wont mean the end of the pandemic. People to be mindful of behavior that increases the spread of the virus during the Holiday Season to kill a. And he appealed for continued physical distancing measures to avoid further lock downs. And say from the phantom who is a banks and ologist and Vice President of Vaccine Research and development at blue willow biologics. He told us, even with a bank same people must continue to follow the rules. I think there is a big problem if we just you know, relax and say we have a vaccine and everything is ready. We can go out and start our life as it used to be. Thats really a kind of big mistake for everybody. Because having a vaccine is one thing and applying the vaccine to the community and to almost everybodys a really huge task that will take months. And therefore if we just very lax today, because we have a good results from a clinical trial, thats something that should be managed well. And we should not really relax our behaviors and our practices and the vaccine itself for. Although its a very big success for the 3 vaccines, including the event. There is still many open issues that we have to be answered before. We get to the point where we say, ok, we made it, giving the vaccine to 65 and older where we have a we continue in the immune system and therefore not having enough people in that category is a big problem. Because then that, that population will not benefit from a vaccine. Therefore, i lay out of the highest risk people around. So therefore, its is an issue with regards to the 65. 00 and older in the united states, millions of people have been traveling for the thanksgiving holiday, despite warnings from Health Experts telling them to stay at home. The u. S. Transportation Security Administration says nearly 6000000. People took flights from friday to wed and stay.

Recorded 2400 deaths linked to coverage. 19 and officials fear that number will only increase and urge people to scale back their celebrations. Professor Lawrence Gostin as the far founding oneill chair of the Global Health law at Georgetown University and says theres a strong chance of a surge in kovi related deaths after the Holiday Season. The worst Case Scenario is that well have a 100000 or more deaths between now and when the vaccine rolls out. I think, you know, basically a trumpet ministrations pretty much given up. And the president almost never meets, is this task force . The federal government is in disarray. Its highly politicized this city. And people just want to, you know, go to restaurants, bars, they want to enjoy themselves. And they want family celebrations, and they see every restriction they change will violation of their own freedom. Legal. No, no human being, you know, free to do things that may risk your own life. But if youre risking someone elses life, you know, an elderly lady or a family member, you know, thats not freedom that, that just simply, you know, causing unnecessary deaths to others and nobody has the freedom to harm other people.

That although much of europe is quite settled on these, an area of High Pressure, theres action going on in the east planted. So that means a low pressure area around ports going to spy. And thats been there for a day or so and its still circulating. But i said, for most, its not the case in zurich, its for you on the ground. And you can see thats trapped by the High Pressure the dome with their above it, reaching into a little bit in the science because this rain in the western med, is just stirring things up in so far southeast affronts. And of course, in the british isles, increasing breeze and rain. But apart from this story, circulating snow coming over the top of that cold air is still quite in central europe, but not so in north africa. Consistent with whats happening in the western med algiers. Hes going to be windy and wet for a couple of days. It takes up to sunday, monday. Looks far better. They wont just be algeria in morocco. The onshore breeze suggests a few showers. They might even have been not even be snow in the asparagus, but maybe its too early for that. Some in 10 year as well. And the showers in west africa are also further north, and they were running into guyana as follows. The sierra leone. Possibly beyond that, otherwise, of course its quite dry.
