Demick exacerbates a guy situation. Vironment groups face off against Oil Giant Shell that a dutch caught in a bid to force it to meet emissions targets and install a liverpool manager calls to introduce a concussion following the horrific clash of heads between war and us arsenal. Now we begin this news round where the parliament has passed a draft motion to halt, unrestricted access by the National Atomic Energy Agency to its nuclear science. The proposed changes could allow iran to resume uranium enrichment at levels of 20 cent under the 2050 nuclear deal that the United States, of course, pulled out of iran was limited to below 4 percent. I said, joins us now from tehran. This is quite a Significant Development in the relationship between iran and the absolutely. So the conservatives that hold the majority in parliament passed this with 251. 00 votes. They want to restrict the i. A. E. A. Inspectors. Kerney i. A. E. A. Inspectors have access to Iranian Nuclear sites without any prior notice. But also they want to bring your ring him and reached to 20 percent, which would be quite concerning for the i. A. E. A. And the United States and the europeans. However, just because they have passed, this doesnt mean its going to happen because the government president hasnt rouhani and his reformists have opposed this. Weve had the Foreign Ministry spokesman this morning saying this is neither helpful or necessary. Weve had the Government Spokesperson come out and say, well, parliament doesnt have a say in this. They dont decide whether this happens or not. Thats down to the Supreme National Security Council. So this still has to go forward to disapprove the Guardian Council and then ultimately, the Supreme National Security Council will decide. But within this motion, there is a kind of get out clause that gives 2 months for it to be implemented actually gives time for president elect joe biden to come into office and issue executive orders as foreign minister divides reefer said to go to overturn what donald trump has done over the years, but if that happens, if the Supreme National Security Council does accept this, and the President Joe Biden presented, joe biden, doesnt issue those executive orders returning the u. S. To the deal and lifting sanctions. Then specters will be stopped from entering irans Nuclear Sites. Or thanks so much there. Lets continue this now and bring in hes a professor of Tehran University and the managing director of iran, diplomatic, a news website good to have you with us. So this is past parliament, is it going to come into full effect then . Hello sammy and my best to your viewers. Of course, if it passes by the garden concert, yes, it will come to earth, but as your guest just said, the government would have about 2 months time to implement this law. Of course, if buy them off, this implements american law here takes away american sanctions. And return to the, just a few or may be at that time remembering this would stop. But if this does not happen, the iranian government will have to implement its because according to the law, that is a sentence which says that if any person in the government does not implement it, he may be this charge of office or will go to prison. He then, so how marge schott iranian policymakers really counting on a biden presidency, turning around the whole relationship a little with the u. S. Excuse me. I didnt hear you are saying that, well, its given everything thats happened in the relationship between iran and the us to what extent are rainy and policymakers really counting on the Biden Administration . Well, i dont think the conservatives are or arent doing a lot, but whats as i, as, as for my analysts, this is that everyone is gathering the costs for new, lets say negotiations for new talks, not negotiating on a. But if there is that debates going to happen, everyone would need to have a new carts. And this little whod give the iranian government, even though the iranian government wasnt good, but could do you that good carts to use in and it debates with us, especially cant think that we are going told new elections in iran within the next 6 months. Well have a new president , and probably the new president will be from the conservatives if the situation goes on like this, and he would need discourse to use to bargain on with the americans or with the other sites. If mr. Biden, im so office and he implements american commitment to remove the sanctions over iran and helps mr. Rouhani is government. We may have a chance. The moderates could have a challenge against the conservatives in the elections. Otherwise, whats happening right now is that the conservatives will win the president ial elections. From the iranian perspective, do you think the iranian side would be satisfied with simply a return to the j. C. P. O, a, or the iranian side. Want now some new conditions and safeguards to make sure the u. S. Doesnt pull out of the agreement again later in the future. Not for the iranian side, its not important that us comes back to the just or not. Even if maybe its better for iran that us does not come back to whats important for iran is to remove the sanctions and implement the Security Council order number 2231 by the u. S. Even if u. S. Doesnt come back to do just that. Its fine with iran. Iraq just wants the sanctions to be removed, nothing more. And but the main problem right now for any negotiation or any talks or any debate, even between iran and us, is that there is no confidence here in iran from the, from the american side. The iranians will be afraid that they need to reach a deal with the American Government and another cover much will come like trump. Maybe well come back and then pull out of the agreement and cancer and all the other agreements will assert by the nz government should give some assurances to the iranians if they want to have talks with the iranians. That if any deal is made, the americans will abide by the deal and will implement it more a good your analysis on that. Thanks so much for your outcome. The final 2 contested states, wisconsin and arizona, have certified their Election Results in favor of joe biden. The process is normally a formality but took on an added significance as President Trump continues his baseless claims of electoral fraud. Kryten salumi reports the governor of arizona, a republican, makes it official signing off on Election Results, declaring democrat joe biden. The winner in his state, by just over 10000 votes, arizonas secretary of state assured voters the election was conducted by the book, caring feet, accuracy and fairness. In accordance with arizonas law and elections procedures, despite numerous unfounded claims to the contrary. Those claims coming from none other than President Donald Trump and his personal attorney, rudy giuliani, who met with some Arizona State republicans still looking for evidence of fraud that is yet to materialize. While the president s supporters gathered outside 4 out of 5 legal challenges waged by republicans in arizona have been dismissed by the courts. In wisconsin, the president s Campaign Paid 3000000. 00 for a recount in 2 counties, but that only turned up more votes for biden. And that state too, has now officially been certified for the democrats. A recount is essentially an audit of the process that verifies the accuracy of the balloting process. That takes place on election day or promise that this would be a transparent fair process, and it was both wisconsin and arizona one by trump in 2016. This makes joe biden the 1st democrat to win a president ial election in arizona since 1996 President Trump has 5 days to contest the results there and in wisconsin, which he is expected to do. Christen salumi, aljazeera wilmington, delaware . Well joining us from birmingham is scott lucas. Hes a cofounder of america, unfiltered a new science on american politics and Foreign Policy. Good to have you with us if we could focus perhaps a little bit on the economy too. Is President Trumps insistence to continue fighting the election result casting any shadow on the economy . Do you think . It certainly doesnt help dealing with what needs to be done about the economy, including in the midst of a pandemic, your viewers will probably remember that trump held up the transition to the incoming biden team for ways as he put out his baseless claims about election fraud. Now he has reluctantly allowed that transition to proceed, but the biden folks are having to carry out extensive talks with u. S. Agencies from health and now from health and Human Services to homeland security, to the treasury. To try to establish what needs to be done in an american economy, which has although it recovered somewhat in the autumn, been hit hard this year like many economies down about 89 percent below where it was in february. As well as, of course, the far from incidental fact that almost 270000 americans have died, and that number is increasing sharply likely to reach 400000 by the start of february biden. As we know, he appears to be more cautious in his approach to tackling coronavirus than donald trump, at least. Do you think this will translate into any more restrictions on what is the Worlds Largest or 2nd largest economy . Depending on what measure you go by these days, i think it will translate into trying to coordinate and join up what is happening so that you dont have an individual state by state approach. But youve got federal guidance for a uniform approach across all 50. And the district of columbia, one of the big failings of the u. S. Government this year, has been that the federal government is almost divorced from what was happening on the ground. Because the planning by the scientists, the Public Health advisers were being quassia. Donald trumps inner circle, as you continue to insist to insist, there isnt a problem with corona virus, but i do think that you know, we have a roach will be though, by the federal law. The 1st, the issue is that you implement social distancing measures. You implement measures to contain the virus which include the wearing a mask in public places, which include guidelines on when you need to close public spaces or restrict them such as bars and restaurants. When you have a spike in the virus. In other words, the steps that the White House Run of a task force has been calling for since spring, but we should not been fully implemented. So its not that the plans are not they are its not that people like dr. Deborah burkes, dr. Anthony. The centers for Disease Control had not put the guidelines down, they just were blocked from implementing them. The other development that led to this is, is that finally dollhouse medical confidant, a man named scott atlas, who had no qualifications, nobody meola g. He has resigned, hes left after 4 months. So, you know, atlas pretty much was the one who had troops here and was blocking the efforts of the professionals. Hes now gone as an obstacle, and now you have the biden folks who are ready to hit the ground running. I guess you could say that trump all to defend not change the u. S. Is cold when it comes to some aspects of global free trade. When you think biden will leave the u. S. On that . Well, i guess i think its a question of bringing the adults into the room. What you had in the trumpet ministration was not as much a joined up economic policy, but it was almost a willful policy. By trumpeters advisors, which is all right, were not talking about global trade here. We dont like china trade war to not look at, for example, the issues of the European Union after a break to say we dont like European Union sanctions even to impose sanctions on partners like canada and mexico. So this idea was pretty much to sort of shake amount of macho 1st, rather than deal with the questions of the United States within a global economy, be in it, europe, the middle east, or asia, that was already facing major challenges before this years pandemic. All right, good to get your analysis on that. Thanks so much, scott lucas, and you sent me plenty more still ahead on the news hour, including the struggle of adjusting to life in a refugee camp. Why some ethiopians are throwing away their food in sudan, destroying the planets lungs and alarming level of deforestation in the brazilian amazon. And the formula one World Champion was be competing at sundays grand prix in behind. Well tell you why. Later in the sports show, us president dog trumps crown a virus advisor scott that list has resigned after 4 months in the post atlas repeatedly downplayed the importance of mosques and described lockdowns as an epic fail in the he was criticized by Infectious Diseases expert. Anthony felt she would cues that less of giving the president , misleading, or false information on the pandemic. A 2nd u. S. Drug maker more than a has announced its all skin regulator is that im going the European Union for emergency approval for its covert 19 vaccine. Well then it says its final trial results confirm. Its more than 94 percent effective. Its a week behind pfizer fueling hopes the u. S. Could have to approve vaccines by the end of the year. But its gaboriau others on the reports. There are also growing concerns about the approval process. A 2nd Coronavirus Vaccine now awaiting approval by u. S. Regulators. Moderna announced its vaccine is ready and if approved for emergency use, the company will start rolling out the 1st doses of the vaccine. By late december, we have worked very closely with a question about speed. And as we said, you know, we should have a, its going to be done. Those is a baby under a year. So as soon as we get approval or these teams are going to get all of a vaccine, we have and start shipping it in the country. Is goal is to vaccinate americans with 24 hours. Moderne is a small Pharmaceutical Company based in cambridge, massachusetts. That has never successfully brought a vaccine to market. It got a big jump on its competitors because it started working aggressively on a covert vaccine back in january. The very day china released the genetic data on the corona virus. That early foresight is now paying off the company saying it hopes to produce as many as 500000000 covert vaccine doses next year alone. Earlier this month, new york based vaccine maker pfizer and its german partner by and tech announced its vaccine was also being submitted for approval and could roll out 50000000. 00 doses this year. With pfizer, we have the f. D. A. Announced an Advisory Committee for december the 10th. And if everything is on track, everything proves out what, what it appears to be. We could be looking at approval within days after that. Madonna is basically one week behind that distribution of the vaccines could be a challenge that is fast approaching. The vaccines must be kept in cold temperatures at all times during transport and storage, or face the risk of spoiling and being ineffective. But it doesnt matter how many vaccines are available. If people decide they dont want to take them. Here in the United States, one poll showed that nearly 40 percent of americans said they have no plans to take the Coronavirus Vaccine. And within minority communities, particularly blacks and latinos, the distrust runs even deeper. With this same poll showing that nearly half said when it comes to the back scene. No, thanks. On monday, new York Governor Andrew Cuomo said more outreach needs to be done to build trust with minorities, to take the vaccine blackstar to twice the rate that whites start. Brown died one and a half times the rate that whites died. They are less served by the health care facilities. We need a special outreach effort. Federal government has provided no funding to do that. But Global Health Officials Say its a problem around the world. Yes, you know, around the world in general and about comic books in particular at this scene is growing for out there. But there is growing anticipation of the vaccine rollout. Health officials caution it will likely be several more months before distribution is ramped up to meet Global Demand to truly have a chance to end the pandemic once and for all gabriel sandow aljazeera, new york, the world health organizations, director general, says mexico is in bad shape as corona, virus infections and deaths continue to rise, hes urging serious action to stop the spread of mexico is the 4th country to have, more than 100000. People die from covert 19. According to the u. N. , at least 7 of mexico citys Public Hospitals are full capacity. Croatias Prime Minister has tested positive for covert 19, under a plank of which had already been isolating after his wife tested positive at the weekend. The govern
