the most important speech i've ever made donald trump's 46 minute u.s. president outlines why he believes the election was stolen. after months of deadlock a breakthrough in peace talks between the afghan government and the taliban. the u.k. has become the 1st country to approve the pfizer bond take cover 90 vaccine for public use it will be administered to high risk groups within days prime minister brust johnson praised the lantus to their work on the vaccine but said people still need to be cautious or brennan has more from london. the approval of a vaccine almost exactly a year since coded 901st emerged in china is a triumph for science the final trial data for the pfizer buy on tech vaccine was only submitted to the u.k. regulator the m h r a a week ago but as a result of a process of rolling approval examining data even as the trials were taking place the regulator has been able to move swiftly and confidently to declare it effective and safe the safety of the vaccine has been scrutinized independently by our commission on human medicines and no stone has been left unturned so absolute confidence in the safety effectiveness and quality of the pfizer violent tech vaccine. brussels airport has been demonstrating its refrigerated cargo facilities in expectation of a major role in distributing the belgian made vaccine britain has bought 40000000 doses of the pfizer buy on tech job in the 1st 800000 doses will be shipped to the u.k. within days we're packing vials of vaccine as we speak and live the shipping in the next 2448 hours the 1st batches to the u.k. 10000000 doses will be delivered by the end of the year and the remainder will arrive during 2021 will no longer resting on the mere hope that we can return to normal next year. in the spring but rather the sure and certain knowledge that we will succeed and together reclaim our lives and all the things about our lives that we love there are still challenges this specific vaccine needs to be kept within minus 70 celsius and minus 80 celsius meaning that hospitals will almost certainly have to be the main hubs for distribution but it can be kept for up to 5 days at normal fridge temperature between 2 degrees and 8 degrees celsius individuals need to japs 21 days apart for full protection and in the u.k. a committee called the j c v i says elderly care home residents and their carers will be 1st in line in order to protect the most vulnerable we have prioritized the most vulnerable individuals 1st the other element is protection of the n.h.s. the health and social care system because by protecting the n.h.s. we protect lives. the challenge now is to manufacture and distribute the quantities required to meet what will inevitably be extraordinary demand britain has a head start but the united states has ordered 100000000 doses of the pfizer biotech jab and the european union 200000000 there are several other vaccines undergoing final stage trials and vaccine candidates by modena oxford astra zeneca have been submitted to regulators with the u.k.'s approval pfizer biotech are leading the field the options for tackling this global pandemic are likely to get even wider within a matter of weeks paul brennan al-jazeera london. the head of the u.s. centers for disease control has warned that coronavirus deaths could total of 845-0005 february infections a soaring across the country code 19 hospital admissions topped 100001 wednesday breaking previous records 200000 new cases were reported on the same day bringing the total nationwide to close to $14000000.00. so we're in that range potentially now starting to see if teen 100 to 2000 to 2500 deaths a day. 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 a foreign 50000 americans have died from this virus the u.s. health secretary is urging americans to take the coronavirus vaccine once it becomes available he hopes 40 percent of adults could be immunized in the next 3 months we can make our 1st shipments of vaccine to state this month and we're on track to be able to ship enough vaccine for 20000000 americans before the end of the year. of course we're all eager to have enough supplies vaccinate every american who wants it because of operation works feed we expect to be at that point in the spring vaccines will only bring this pandemic to an end if enough americans choose to take these vaccines and gallica has more now from miami he's telling the american public who are somewhat cautious about taking this vaccine that look here is a different nation that has gone through independent testing this should reassure people in this nation that it is safe to take the vaccines of course over the next few days the federal and drug administration will be reviewing 2 emergency request to get drugs approved so it is very much coming to this nation of course will go to people in long term care facilities and those on the front lines in medical staff but there is a thing in this country where you when you heard about anti vaccines people that don't trust vaccines i think alex is i was really trying to overcome that particular hurdle so you got to vaccines looking for emergency approval another 2 coming shortly after that meanwhile in other news that is code related in this nation there is the possibility of a relief package now coming it's a $500000000000.00 relief package that may go towards the president he may sign it he may not it is a very complicated issue at the moment because the democrats have turned this particular package down twice before over the last 6 months of course i've been arguing about the amount of money that this economy needs. mitch mcconnell's putting forward 500000000000 dollars the democrats have put forward 900000000000 dollars in the past that's been in the trillions but it may not get approved approved in the house because that is controlled by the democrats. u.s. president donald trump has released a 46 minute speech on social media outlining why he believes the election was stolen from him trump said it could be the most important species ever made and it came after u.s. attorney general william pollack confirmed that the justice department has found no evidence of one spread voter fraud even what i'm saying now will be demeaned and disparaged but that's ok i just keep on going forward because i'm representing 74000000 people and in fact i'm also representing all of the people that didn't vote for me let's speak now to alan fischer who is in washington d.c. ellen some thought donald trump was perhaps going to be moving toward a concession that the speech really seems to be the opposite. exactly he's digging in what we got was very bizarre just in terms of timing just a couple of hours before from the podium of the briefing room at the white house we were told that the president was concentrating on covert clearly he wasn't he was writing in preparing this 46 minutes speech which didn't appear on any national network it didn't come in front of a rally of supporters it was posted on to facebook and it was posted just less than 24 hours after his a or an attorney general william barr gave an interview said he found no evidence that was widespread voter fraud what donald trump did was gather together conspiracy theories and claims that his campaign have made which have been despondent disproved and in the case of going to court dismissed and in some of those cases dismissed by judges that were appointed by donald trump he claims there has been a widespread fraud that dead people have voted he doesn't quite understand that during the whole process of counting mail in ballots his vote total would be surpassed by joe biden the closest he came was when he said judges and the media know who won this election just want to acknowledge it the reality is most of the states have no set of fide their results and joe biden is the president elect donald trump said he would accept any credible election result the credible election result is that joe biden won it's that simple even so as you say allan donald trump is standing his ground is there any sense that more republicans might break rank from from trump and accept that biden is the winner a what's the response there. well i've been looking through social media over the last couple of hours democrats are a bit concerned that donald trump has again use this sort of language coming less than 24 hours after a republican election official in georgia said that they really need to calm down the rhetoric he said someone is going to get shot because a lot of what is being alleged simply is not true and democrats are worried that what the president is doing is ginning up his supporter base really firing them up and this could lead to in some cases to violence as for republicans well there's been nothing in social media i haven't seen anyone criticize what the president has said no one has taken him to task for repeating these lies that have been disproved in court for not producing evidence of what he is alleging and we find out in the last few hours people like ron johnson who is a republican senator from wisconsin big donald trump fired in the senate actually doesn't rate donald trump that highly in a phone call with someone who was a former committee chair of the state republican party he actually said joe biden won the election but it would be political suicide if i acknowledged that he's what we don't all trump well not only tongue in him but also a ton his supporters on him and that would mean he would not be the senator for wisconsin for very much longer there are many people in the republican party who are scared of donald trump who don't want to confront him and after what he said in the last few hours that are very few people who are going to change that position and no go after the president and say look you're wrong you lost the election you have to accept it donald trump is clearly going to push this all the way as far as he can and there's even talk that he won't attend the inauguration on january the 20th that's of course when joe biden becomes the next president of the united states ok thank you that live in washington d.c. . after almost 3 months of negotiations there's been a breakthrough in peace talks between the afghan government and the taliban have agreed on a framework for future negotiations nextel formalize an agenda u.s. military will withdraw all its forces by may bets on the condition talks make progress and a comprehensive cease fire is in place nato secretary general yen sultan burke has welcomed the breakthrough nato has about 11000 troops in afghanistan but if negotiations continue successfully and a cease fire is brokered they too will leave by may along with the us forces. agreement today is you can discuss whether it's a big or small step but importantly is that it's the 1st step is the 1st time actually tall a ban on the afghan government or able to sign a document agreeing on the framework to modalities for negotiations address seeing a long term peaceful solution hard to reach peace in afghanistan made in a dairy is negotiated with the afghan government delegation in doha he says agreement on a talks framework is a milestone but it's disappointing the violence continues across afghanistan. there is no doubt the people of afghanistan are fed up with the double lives would continue to act on our institutional public infrastructure of innocent lives that are being taken through attacks carried out more intensely in the past few months but the very fact that there is violence makes it more necessary to engage more. into peace discussions our primary the people of our primary interest to silence the guns to reach to cease fire and that's what we are committed to achieve those. discussion about the citizens by our partners is a sort of decision of them but as long as much is depends on our side it plans the public of understand is committed both to defend and protect our people and our 'd constitution but also to commit fully genuinely with good faith to reach to peaceful settlement in this war us media is reporting that saudi arabia is close to reopening its airspace and land borders

and i'm here and also by the. open army we can't verify that allegation but we have not used to come down of the numbers of people coming from ethiopia understandably also it is probably because the

palestinian authority since may the funds are normally transferred monthly palestine stopped the arrangement when israel announced plans to annex parts of the occupied west bank it would have has more from ramallah. this is the money israel collects on behalf of the palestinian authority and because palestinians do not have war those of their own of their own they rely on israel to do these calculations and pay them at the end of every month and that's allowed the palestinian authority to pay its public employee now in may the palestinian president said that the palestinians are no longer abiding by signed agreements with israel including security coordination the coordination that used to happen between palestinian and israeli officials to allow poor the transfer of that money

has crippled the economy now 2 weeks ago the palestinians have said that they were thieves and that sort of from an israeli government official saying that israel will be abiding by agreements signed with the palestinians so they decided to resume coordination and extract receiving that money and i'm sure we all know that this also has something to do with the fact that president elect joe biden has won the elections and we might be seeing a little bit of an advancement when it comes to the palestinians and israelis now as far as the world bank is concerned the palestinian economy is still
