Precision parking nasa scientists hope to land on an asteroid millions of kilometers from home. So nigerian Authorities Say nearly 2000 inmates have escaped out the crowds attacked 2 prisons in the countrys latest on rest thousands of nigerians are defying a curfew in lagos state to continue protests against Police Brutality and in ekiti state businesses have been forced to shut off the protests turned violent there the speaker of the house of parliament is refusing to approve the budget without compensation for victims of Police Brutality. I will not sign off. On it trying to change one budget. Dollars does not include us to compensate those who are sort of our lives im fatality on the hands of police in major the last decade. So how did we get to this point well thousands of nigerians took to the streets earlier this month to protest against and then lead to police unit thats been accused of unlawful arrests torture and even murder against citizens sars the special anti robbery squad had been operating in nigeria for decades a video came to light allegedly showing members of the unit shooting and killing a man in delta state and last week the government disbanded the squad and its officers were redeployed 2 of the units but the protesters say that decision is not enough and they have been caused to implement even more reforms across the entire Police System and lets go straight away talk correspondent armitage us is live for us in a booth meant they got a curfew in place as riot Police Deployed nationwide is still there those who are defying the curfew. Well there are some people define the coffee especially in the access of course. To millions of like oceans and even after the introduction of the curfew at 4 pm local time there were blockades on that street its a regular its a regular thing to have traffic jams at that at that intersection however what we noticed was that there was a deliberate attempt to stop traffic all the way so the road was completely blocked and we learned of pockets of protests go in or not along the lake access but in most parts of lagos state people were rushing home to. Get themselves home before the not done before the Security Forces deployed on the streets to enforce the curfew got on to the street so its largely a baby in some parts of lagos but our own they lack access its a different story altogether so how serious is this becoming for the government and what would it take for the protesters to stand down. Its difficult to say but it will take a lot of effort from. To calm the protesters down because the demands keep changing from banning this hours we hear about ban swathed the unit that took over from saas we also hear protests just asking for the release of all detainees people whove been arrested by the police for dinner for the protest as well as the payment of compensation like the speaker of house of Parliament Said the payment of compensation to all victims of Police Brutality over the last 10 years this has yet to be done although to some extent you can say that some State Government ordered the police to release some of these protesters and they have done that especially in lagos but what were seeing now is a new dimension to this crisis the protesters have been attacked on several occasions they claim. But the thugs who are taught them was sponsored and weve seen how the countrys Busiest Airport yesterday was located in benin city we saw the raid on correctional facility where were now talking about 1993 Prison Inmates that have gone missing and not only that the armory of the those 2 prisons said to have been looted by those who attacked the prisons to free their image so its taking a very dangerous dimension you know yesterday we saw dozens of cars being burned in the city order to relieve the media just reporting there from good you think you. Ok several blocks of american countries are expected to reach 1000000. 00 covert 0. 95 within weeks they include colombia mexico and peru argentina is already there becoming the 5th country to reach the 1000000 mark and that is despite having in force one of the worlds longest lockdowns iran is reporting more than 5000. 00 new infections 24 hours after a recording increase in virus related deaths and russia has reported more than 16000. 00 new cases over the past 24 hours and in eastern china hundreds of queued in the city of you for an experimental vaccine yet to complete its Clinical Trials the chinese firm as you know farm so theres a meeting to have more than a 1000000000 deuces ready by next year or 2 is a bit late for us now in. Terms of argentina the 5th nation to reach 1000000 cases also the smallest nation that did everything right you would have thought it closed its borders it had strict lock downs but still this so whats gone wrong. Well thats the big question here Everyone Wants to know what 20 as you just said argentina was one of the 1st countries in the region to impose a very strict along down with Security Forces on the street asking few people to stay at home to take care of themselves to prevent the spread of the seas and now it has me that 1000000 land mark and thats it has everyone here concerned about whats coming next what will the most test folks we have spoken to what theyre saying is that there was lockdown fatigues i mean the lockdown was imposed 7 months ago and in a country such as this one where there were economic troubles when many cannot afford to stay home with informal workers without employment on the rise with poverty on the rise say just have to go out on the street and try to make a living and that has had a decisive impact on the amount of people that have gotten in fact that the other opposition members and also critics of the government are saying that the government put too much for cause. On the log down on keeping people inside instead of trucking the d. C. S. And trying in a way to increase the amount of testing in the country if you compare the amount of testing in colombia which on sunday was 30000 people in argentina it was 12000 and many say thats one of the problem what but all the president is saying is that this amount of time is what gave argentine Us Public Health care system the in a way experience to cope with whats coming with in dealing with a pandemic with getting off those intensive care units ready in order to cope with coronavirus rather well a belgian super far from being alone in the several blocks of american countries heading in precisely the same direction well most definitely mexico peru and colombia are about to also to reach the 1000000 mark and what were hearing is that they have the largest amount of infections per day many of those countries this part of the world and whats happening is also is that whats happening in one side is for example it was here were the coronavirus started to spread but the situation is under control but its no spreading to other parts of the country and thats also happening in countries like Mexico Colombia when you see that i mean is it valid to control the situation then its going to somewhere else and thats the big problem because its posing a major challenge not only for the economy these are countries that have struggling economies with high poverty rates. Difficulty of health care for many of the population there so this stress is an enormous this will has met major stress for the Health Care System for the economy and countries that also have problems like corruption and many many other problems so most definitely coronavirus poses a major challenge for latin american economies and most definitely for latin american societies rosa thanks very much to the knowledge and to you know. Well scientists in brazil say an experimental vaccine being developed by china appears to be safe 9000. 00 brazilians are taking part in the trial of corona vac its one of 3 vaccines being tested their data on how effective the treatment is will not be released until the trial is completed and indias Prime Minister is promising vaccines will be made available to all citizens remotely urge everybody to remain vigilant and take precautions is a nationwide address followed of the fewest new daily coronavirus cases in the 3 months but i suppose one numbers could peak again there are a series of religious festivals that are happening soon to now from dr del g. Whos a senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins center for Health Security and he says it will be a challenge to distribute the vaccine globally once its made available. And many vaccines that are what are called phase 3 Clinical Trials which is the last stage there are 3 or 4 big ones that are being tried in the United States and europe the ones that make the headlines like Astra Zeneca Johnson and johnson youre hearing a lot about all of those types of vaccines and then you have vaccines that are being made by the Chinese Government the russian Government Companies now we are little bit in the dark about how effective they are and many of us think that were probably going to see different approvals on different timelines the u. S. And european maybe getting emergency use approval before the end of the year for Health Care Workers and high risk individuals but its really unclear to us whats going on with the chinese and russian vaccines because we havent seen all of these 3 Clinical Trial data to show how effective it works see what the safety profile is and i do think that some of those chinese vaccines are very promising and they may make it into into peoples arms and they are already being used experimentally and for limited populations but we want to see the data we want to make sure we get this right and that we have a safe and effective vaccine that actually people are in bold in to take i do think that we will start to see vaccination occur too for more of the general population of the planet in spring and into summer i do think that for the developing world well probably have to be vaccinating well into 2022 so this is going to be a very daunting Global Challenge to get this vaccine into peoples arms so that we do have control of this virus but i but i do think that we have to not really stick to these dates because we may have problems in manufacturing we may have problems in scale up we may have problems in distribution remember some of these vaccines are going to take 2 doses some of them have to be kept at extremely cold temperatures which is going to be just simply challenging. Theres still plenty to come here on the news hour including. Im john hendren in the suburbs of minneapolis one of the many suburban belts in swing states where the u. S. President ial election will likely be decided. Another assault on mexicos rampant drug cartels what authorities are doing to tackle organized crime. Ive got support coming up in a hospital setting more bad news for this world cup winning football of its own i will have all the details a little bit later. Donor countries have pledged 1700000000. 00 for africas whole region which is facing what the United Nations describes as alarming to tear the u. N. Wanted 1000000000. 00 in agent funds to provide aid to 13000000 people across central sahal before the Virtual Meeting it had only been able to gather 34 percent of the amount required for the conflict countries escalating violence from armed groups linked to al qaida and i still use force millions to flee their homes and so the whole region is on the edge of these horrid desert and includes countries bordering lake chad mali needs yet bikini of the countrys worst affected in the United Nations has warned the people there are facing catastrophic levels of hunger well lets take this on we can speak now to mark local crews the u. N. Undersecretary general for humanitarian affairs and measures relief and joins us from the u. N. The need is clearly a problem from what ive read it sounds like even with the necessary funding it will be incredibly challenging to reach some of the most desperate. Yes i had a good day today in racing as you said 1700000000 dollars for this year and the next couple of years from moment 25 countries but raising the money is just the starting point there are millions of people being displaced there its more than 7000000 of the children and most a meeting held with. Of course this crisis has deep orange it means Climate Change rapid population growth struggles to find enough resources for people to sustain their livelihoods come from and into that space coming terrorists and extremists and its going to be a whole to deal with the was problems we made a good start today and the result of all those problems is this is unthinkable really internally displaced in the region spiraled from what was 8700021 point 6000000 that was inside to use the city its unfathomable yeah i mean it is a good indicate. This pace and drawn but really the displacement of what the underlying problems that are off and the only way to change the course hes ready to deal with the courses of this problem said people may differ whining that its to make a way through changing times we need more Education Health warton Sanitation Services and we need to have effective responses to the presence of the terrorist next 20 minutes from the response which is doing a much better job knocking off from protecting the needs of what many civilians and hes not acting in a way which kind of a face and adds to the. Suffering of all recent indians. Yeah we need to change the course but it doesnt help those who already immediate danger just one step short of famine in the means those will be dying from starvation on a big scale. Yes and todays conference is good news for those people because we will have to step up and sustain our provision of food and shelter more senator says and has said this is an education and you know its really him but we do that to look after the people but was also a recognition in todays conference that that on its own is not going to solve the problem we can save lives and we can by time be really to have to address the underlying causes of whats called the displacement which goes beyond they conflict the conflict itself as causes and that to be found in Climate Change are great on development or governance and so and things need to be addressed its a deep challenging melting pot of issues isnt it its also about resilience building tell us a little bit more about the us and what it actually means. Well it means making people less vulnerable to droughts and floods by diversifying livelihoods you know the good news is over the last several generations many of the regions of the well its out of the vulnerability that still exists in the sahara theyve. Been used to be like a stadium population mostly rural reliant on subsistence agriculture and. Much rarer around the world because countries of developed industries have a wrist and services have been created so i mean most of the nation is much smaller now than it used to be in people come to towns and cities and that chinese want. Feasible for the people of this a house to go on if they get the right order for have the right leadership and policies in their own countries. Finally coming up with the money is one thing isnt that political will to change things on the ground in the way that youre describing it is entirely another to what degree do does the International Community need to feel responsible for whats going on and. Well a country can i mean develop if the leadership on the policies in the institutions and the people of the country take responsibility for their own destiny the International Community can help and in the case this at its very own that International Institutions like the u. N. Red cross the world bank and the sound if the European Countries are ready to how that help needs to come behind them in support of what local people and National Governments are doing thats really the most important thing of all thats the general for humanitarian affairs and emergency relief thank you very much.
