Begins to ship covert 1000 vaccines across the country is it registers yet another record death toll. Keeping up the pressure can iran khans government survive opposition protests in pakistan we report from islamabad. And dramatic pledges as World Leaders mark the 5th anniversary of the paris a coup or but will they be enough to prevent climate catastrophe. Fellow british leaders have agreed to keep trade talks going house negotiators failed to break an impasse both sides met again on sunday in what was supposed to be the final day of negotiations so the head of the e. U. Commission Ursula Vander Lyon says there are still unresolved top expect deserve to be discussed at length. Despite the exhaustion after almost one year of negotiations and despite the fact that deadlines have been missed over and over we both think that it is responsible at this point in time to go the extra mile for we have accordingly mandated our negotiators to continue the taffs and to see where the new reach an agreement can be reached even at this late stage or so far there have been several Sticking Points but the main ones include access to british waters by a new fishing fleets on the socalled level Playing Field so if the 2 sides dont reach an agreement border checks on taxes will be introduced for goods traveling between the u. K. And the e. U. From january the 1st lets bring in john hall for an update his joining us live from west minister so where do the talks go from here then jonah. Well theyre still talking and as one source quoted earlier put it as long as theyre talking theyre making some progress crucially no deadline has put on this have been put on this extension of talks frankly theyve been so many deadlines made and missed that any date applied now probably wouldnt be believed anyway the only hard date weve got therefore is the 1st of january when finally these 2 enormous trade partners will part ways deal or no deal on trade that is it said that there is a trade deal 97 percent ready to go and that it is just that final 3 percent governing 2 issues that are the Sticking Points and they are of totec significance to both sides access to the u. K. s fishing waters by e. U. Boats that have used those waters in some cases for hundreds of years its of almost no significance to g. D. P. But it is of huge significance to probe regs it thinking and the other big issue is maintaining fair competition in future between these 2 sides the socalled level Playing Field ensuring that the u. K. Remains aligned to the rules and standards on things like the environment on workers rights on state aid subsidies and so on and these punished if it steps out of line will the u. K. Says that is a breach of its sovereignty the e. U. Says anything less is a risk to the integrity of the Single Market take a listen to what Boris Johnson had to say after those talks were extended a little earlier. We are always happy to. Talk and make progress where we can i do think as i say there is a deal to be done if our partners want to do it but we remain very far apart on these key issues and you know what they are you cant be locks into the e. U. Use regular tree or bit weve obviously got to take back control of our fisheries full of years after people voted for it. So what preparations are under way there in the u. K. For a no deal scenario. Where the government says it spent 5000000000. 00 preparing for a no deal its not entirely clear where that moneys gone its probably gone towards trying to ensure the smooth running of borders as much as possible the problem for businesses is that whilst they may have wanted to prepare theyve not known what precisely to prepare for this been very little public preparation very little government guidance on what to expect and what is coming up besides basically saying everything is going to be fine but you know theres no getting away from just how seismic a change this will be in the 47 year relationship between these 2 sides falling back on w t o rules of tariffs and subsidies that will make the cost of production go up the price of goods go up it will make imports more difficult it could imperil whole industries from livestock farming to fishing to the Automotive Industry and so on huge huge issues at stake here the government is a say says more or less dont worry about a thing weve got a playbook they say that it foresees every eventuality everything will be fine but critics more and more of them even in the Prime Ministers own party a warning that no deal at this point would be a failure his failure of statecraft all right john of all thank you for that update from Westminster Hall peter clappers an e. U. Policy analyst and he says the issue of fair competition might have emerged as the biggest Sticking Point because of the industries that would ultimately affect. I think important rumor is that you would have made a major concession that the European Union would basically admitted that it was no longer seeking a socalled wretched cross which would mean that britain would have to follow your regulations if certain number of conditions were fulfilled instead the e. U. Wants to agree a mechanism to try to keep the u. K. From unfairly undercutting its own standards as the e. U. Puts it of course i would put it. Exploiting the benefits of brics if you very much now understands for britain its coming from it understands that britain wants to exploit its sovereignty the ability to have divergent regulations because apart from the ability to set its own trade policy breaks it provides you know the kingdom to come up with its own version of g. D. P. Or for example or chemical regulations in the future or whatnots and of course then there will always be an implication for the degree of Market Access so its in the very good i think for both sides that a proper mechanism is agreed to make sure that no accidents happen that if the u. K. Wants to divert that businesses will not be punished unfairly and that they will cleese know well in advance that Market Access would be restricted. As covert 19 vaccines start to receive emergency approvals the race is on to distribute them so 3 western candidates are getting much of the attention those made by modern and astra zeneca are reported to be close to approval of a vaccine developed by u. S. Firm pfizer and germanys biotech has been okayed by some countries the 1st patients got jobs in the u. K. On tuesday and vaccinations may begin in the u. S. On monday or russia began administering its sputnik vaccine several weeks ago but many governments are wary as moscow has shared little data on it and 3 chinese vaccines are also reported to have received approvals one 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 world but its not clear who will get them 1st and when or if poor hard hit countries can get the supplies they need were seeing pictures right here of the 1st doses of pfizers Coronavirus Vaccine being loaded into trucks on the you in the u. S. Pfizer a huge is using containers with dry eyes and g. P. S. Enabled sensors to ensure that each shipment stays cold john hendren has more 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 fact seen 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 were 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. 00 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. 00 attacks will die each day of covert 19. Then there are the conspiracy theorists and skeptics who say they will refuse to take it i think sometimes that thing might be a hoax 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 Al Jazeera washington. Muhammad the nearest overall address at Lancaster University he explains the Global Distribution challenges if we look on to the vaccine efficacy of course the president were going to they are close to 995 percent which is certainly beyond our expectation but again we go on to the next generation of vaccines for example talking about the spinal column in the u. S. That has 92 percent of the cases thats what they they proposed at least sputnik 5 is almost at the same level of stress anika here to be 70 percent so once the 1st. Front runner vaccines will be taken up by most of the wealthy nations we were left out with the vaccine those are probably at least demand in the countries that would be causing another challenge to distribute because even for example if we reach to 50 percent of the population in the developing world for a vaccine that is 50 percent effective basically we are covering only 25 percent of the population which isnt sufficient enough to establish herd immunity it has been a certain level of vaccine as a tense even before the court 19 and damage but it has intensified because primarily the rumors and the speed of the Vaccine Development and probably more importantly the trust and this is even more penetrated into the black south asian minorities i mean if we talk about the u. K. Itself i mean in london one of the survey 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 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 infection. Germany is imposing stricter coronavirus lockdown measures that will last until the middle of january chancellor Angela Merkel says they are necessary to reduce the surge in cases most stores and schools will be closed on social contacts are further limited germany can for and more than 28000 cases on sunday is unlikely to be given up we will be closing the shops from once the 16th of december and will only keep open those that sell essential d.

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 has pledged to speed up the expansion of wind and solar power the u. K. Has announced it will no longer fund overseas fossil fuel projects and pakistan says it wont produce additional power based on coal but australia and brazil both major emitters failed to make enough pledges to even qualify to speak at an online summit and the Outgoing Administration of the us President Donald Trump who pulled washington out of the paris accord didnt take parts and now 5 years after a landmark deal on Climate Change was signed the u. N. Chief is sounding another warning about the future of our planet and to undergo terrorists use the anniversary of the paris accord to plead with World Leaders to declare a climate emergencies he says its vital that nations act. Now for the sake of future generations son again the 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 city degrees the century again anybody still deny that we are facing a 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 note that all we do is reach. 5 years on from the launch of the u. N. Climate summit with 196. 00 countries signed on to prevent the rise in Global Temperatures the organization is sounding the alarm of the failures to curb Greenhouse Gas emissions. West 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 there have been extra efforts to setup 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 a will Economic Growth once again take precedence in a world that is experiencing more extreme weather phenomena sun agle Al Jazeera Mark houghton is the director of the Climate Change institute at the Australian National university he says while an increasing number of countries are committing to net 0 Carbon Emissions it is unclear how they will 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 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. 00 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 own mission reductions the sorts of Emission Reductions that the u. K. Has announced that the us announced of 55. 00 or 68 percent reductions is the sort of ambition of that but 2030 is the sort of ambition that we need globally and we need to deliver on.

But as well as a has a sense has millions of people have taken part in a nonbinding poll called by Opposition Leader one why though voters were asked to support calls for president Nicolas Maduro to step down and hold new elections are latin america editor of the c. N. N. Reports. 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 there are 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.

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.
