i previously worked closely with. the state council and one of her jobs was foreign minister observers are now wondering whether someone who was a close aide of the now detained leader was speaking freely or perhaps was in fear of reprisals the statement was in very clear contrast to that of the un special rapporteur tom andrews who said at least 70 people have been killed by the military since

on thursday. president joe biden is less than an hour away from making his 1st primetime speech is us president at the heart of it is his action plan on the coronavirus pandemic that killed more than half a 1000000 americans in the policia the president has signed off on a $1.00 trillion dollar covert relief package he's build it is rebuilding the backbone of the country that includes billions to spend on health care on unemployment payments and 900 testing most americans will receive a one off payment of $1400.00 school more now from an official in washington d.c. and allen said to to hear from the president in just under an hour. and we're getting some indication of some of the things that he's going to say he's going to say that states and municipalities should open up eligibility to getting a covert vaccine to everyone by me the farce this all fits in with his plan to see the united states of tunning somewhere close to normal by july the 4th obviously a very significant holiday here in the united states and he's going to co-opt about 4000 members of the military to help administer the vaccine as well so that will increase the number of vaccination sites just speaking to a couple of people in the last hour or so republicans are going to be watching to see whether or not joe biden makes any mention of donald trump in this speech whether he's going to be any sort of tribute to his predecessor for at least getting operation warp speed in the whole vaccination program up and running it seems unlikely but republicans are hoping that that might just go some way to meet joe biden's idea of greater unity in the united states all of this coming his 1st primetime address coming just a couple of hours after he signed that covert relief bill $1.00 trillion dollars it moved through congress and all the process is there much quicker than anyone expected the intention was the president would sign the bill on friday but it landed on the old resolute desk in the oval office on thursday and that's when he decided to site it means that a lot of the measures will start to move very quickly people could start to see the checks arriving on their doorstep within a couple of weeks i was speaking to someone saying how long is this going to take it said well look there's a couple of reasons why this could be much quicker this time around 1st of all we've done this before and we know how to get those checks out 2nd reason could well be that the president this time doesn't insist on his name being on every check this is a big moment for joe biden he's never done a primetime address as president before he's not done a joint session of congress either which. normally happens in the 1st few weeks of a new presidential term that has been put off but as soon as he's done here he's filing out your force one and throat next week he's intending to fly all around the country stopping and highlighting places where he believes that the covert relief felt well help communities and the american economy as he gears to try and get the country getting back to normal by july the 4th allen speech in about an hour when the just for that speech gets underway in which we'll be covering fully live out of the timing thanks a lot now 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 is seeking private donations the agency needs an extra $500000000.00 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 make it to hospitals have no guarantee of being treated it's a horrific situation it really years i went to what would be. the best hospital. room to room to room with us so children literally. the lucky ones that actually get into the hospital i called the doctor and i said how many years can you handle here and he said 25 are still what do you do with the worry that you know that curve and you don't have room for should we stop them oh so what happens . and food supplies running dangerously low in ethiopia's northern region to grow where millions are in urgent need of support people arriving at camps for the displaced in the region say they survived by haiti leaves aid agencies say there is not enough space for the thousands turning up every day well the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. has spoken out about the ongoing violence in ethiopia to grow region she's called on all sides to try and find a solution. ongoing violence hips that humanitarians from helping a desperately hungry people activists in ethiopia including eritrean forces from across the o.p.'s borders have restricted humanitarian access to the rural areas where the most europeans live we cannot allow the situation to hear it are there we call on all sides and i'm stressed all sides to stop the fighting and allow this manmade humanitarian situation to be addressed. the united states says some hopeful progress has been made towards a cease fire in yemen but it says more commitment is needed from the warring parties special envoy to the ill and the king has made the assessment after visiting the region yemen has been at war for more than 6 years the government but its by saudi led coalition is fighting hoofy rebels who control the capital sana let's meet now tonight real cody who's a former u.s. diplomat and former deputy chief of mission in yemen joins us via skype from washington d.c. now bill welcome to the program if the situation in yemen goes from bad to worse and worse still openly hasn't the united states decision to lift the terrorist designation simply embolden the who sees. i don't think it has emboldened them but they seem to be ignoring the whole fortunately to them by the by the administration by lifting the designation and by offering their act mediation between them and solved it and all the warring parties in yemen . there is disappointment that they have not taken this opportunity. probably it looks like they have a sense that they might achieve a military victory in madame which is a very strategic location for them so they are pushing ahead and there was a statement today on behalf of the u.s. state department united kingdom the united nations expressing disappointment with the with these for continuing their assault on matters that the if. befriends if it's successful what will it mean. it will give them a tremendous to egypt advantage one in having their own access to oil and gas resources but also it leaves them in a position to cut off a promise from solidarity be all the way to the south and it puts them in that position should the war continue after this for them to push further south so i think they are gambling here because their losses are great and the losses all the way around very great and matter. and should day when which is not their role guarantee that they would simply embolden the other side to unify their ranks and to keep thanking them so i'm afraid that. as this goes on regarding the stuff which side wins matter it will only cause the war to continue and the suffering in yemen has already reached beyond any limits who we know off in this current international environment yemeni population is being starved and this needs to end and there are gently the u.s. state department says a more more commitment is needed from the parties to the civil war but what will it take for that he's to demonstrate any commitment while. i think what they are asking for and to some extent they're speaking with to avoid says some of them are. more diplomatic and would like to go to the negotiating table soon but the leadership in. there is insisting on lifting the siege. and stopping the aerial bombardment from saudi arabia 1st before they stop that seems to that's unrealistic and it seems like they are just biding for time so that they can finish taking over matter in their own media channels they are talking of a victory they feel victorians i think this is really on realistic and very unfortunate the u.n. security council should take it off worse than what that has been disappointing as well. as a long way to go in this still and corey we appreciate your perspectives thanks very much indeed and a courier former deputy chief of mission in yemen

between clots and the vaccine but will stop using the job for 2 weeks to investigate austria has stopped using vaccines from the same batch after a woman died soon after receiving the shot a stone near lithuania luxembourg and latvia have also stopped inoculations from the same batch but brand has more now from london. it is worrying on the basis that 1st of all yes there have been some blood clots but the danish the norwegians and the ice and the icelanders who've decided to suspend the use of the astra zeneca vaccine all together are effectively going against the advice of the european medicines agency which is saying that as far as they're concerned the number of blood clots related to those people who have the vaccines are not out of the ordinary what you would normally expect in a general population they've they've reported some $22.00 events thromboembolism events out of the $3000000.00 people who've been vaccinated the night so there is the sense in some quarters that janet denmark norway and iceland are are being rather over cautious and that is not going to help when you're trying to get as many people vaccinated as possible 40000 coronavirus vaccines donated by the
