Scientist is laid to rest teheran grapples with conflicting accounts over how he was assassinated. Plus tough life lessons. Iraqi students are back in the classroom. Catching up on Law School Work isnt the only challenge u. S. Drugmaker modernity has announced its asking american and european regulators for emergency use of its covert 19 vaccine on monday. Thats after it got the final results needed to confirm its more than 94 percent effective just behind. And its german part not by own tank. So are started asking to start vaccinations in the u. S. In december. Pfizer says their vaccine is 95 percent of active against coven, 19. The f. D. A. Says theyll be a public debate of the evidence of each vaccine. Pfizers will be 1st up on december. The 10th or the earners is set to happen a week later. All across the atlantic, british regulators are assessing the fires the shot. But theyre also looking at another from the u. K. Company astra zeneca, which says there is is on average 70 percent effective, can be 90 percent depending on the dosage and speak now to our white house correspondent, kimberly harkat. She joins us live now from washington d. C. So is the Company Going to get the quick approval they seek . Well, it certainly appears that way, but this will all be pending a determination by the food and Drug Administration that will be taking place in mid december just to give you a sense of how this works. This very accelerated timeline that weve seen for pfizer and mature enough is in part because of the request for a mercy authorization under the Public Health service act. And the reason that these Drug Companies are able to do this is because there was. 9 declared a Public Health emergency with regard to covert 19 back in january of 2020. So earlier this year. So what does this mean . This means that there can be a rapid approval pending that determination of the Public Health hearings that will be taking place. And this is really something that can be done because this is being used to either treat or prevent cope with 19 on a mass scale. Its important to note that this is all happening. That leads the u. S. President says, because of operation warp speed, that a lot of the funding to allow for this is whats allowing the president to a put in place the timeline of the end of the year that we could see the most vulnerable populations getting this vaccine, but also the not only the bridge provable, but also the funding to make sure that these trials, these phase 3 trials that theyve gone through have been not only implemented, but it turns out relatively successful. So this is good news for the public, but at the same time its also good news for the Drug Companies. We certainly have to point out that theyre going to make billions of dollars as a result of this quick approval. All right, thanks so much can believe how bad lets bring in now. Jonah holly joins us from london. Theyre also looking at vaccine approvals, but theyre also ramping up testing way you ought to in the run up to christmas yesterday. Theyre ramping up. Testing look out is just approaching an end in england in a couple of days time. The infection rate has come down pretty impressively. They are right, the reproduction rate is below one. But this mass testing continuing the latest step in the governments drive to continue to suppress the virus and allow for some degree of normality over a brief period. Over christmas were talking here about student testing, specifically 132. 00 universities across england and wales, taking part in testing tens of thousands of students. Im at lesters de Montfort University in the midlands. This is the heart of the testing center. Here. Were talking about rapid tests, self administered swab, stuck up the nose there, and then a concoction of chemicals placed or something that looks like a pregnancy test before it gives a result in about an hour. The idea of course is that students, you may recall when a tourist carriers and spreaders of the virus, when they return to campuses in the autumn. Now the aim is to ensure that they can go home safely without seeding the virus back into their home communities. To elderly people and so on. The issue is that these tests are problems with reliability. Even the government has admitted theyre not 100 percent reliable. In fact, theyre less than 80 percent. Reliable in the students are taking 2 tests, 3 days apart to try and confirm their results. But it does seem, nevertheless, that in this effort to create safe conditions at christmas time in this continued effort to reopen the economy, there will be a number of people who are sent home, told that they are healthy, but who in fact may not be. All right, thanks so much john holland. Last week, the o. P. s Prime Minister has told parliament federal forces have not killed a single civilian during the 3 week conflict in the 2 grey region and insists the army will not destroy the regional capital. Michaela after capturing it at the weekend, but its a great Peoples Liberation front say its still fighting federal soldiers near the city. Hundreds of people have died and thousands forced to flee to neighboring sudan. That another important to get the not the most important. Every target has been signed and approved. The house can see that every missile launched is backed by a signature of authority. 99 percent of them hit their targets and 99 percent of them didnt have collateral. No countrys army can show this kind of performance. Our army is disciplined and victorious. Are going to be said, you will destroy mckelway and so on. May kill is ours. It was built with our own resources. We are not going to destroy it, not even a Single Person was affected by the operation. Lets go to malcolm where, but in nairobi, malcolm a lot of claims. Theres the evidence back come up. Weve got contradicting claims from both sides. As you mentioned, Prime Minister told members of parliament that no civilians are being killed to be left. Leaders say many civilians are being killed in airstrikes by government aircraft, something the government denies. The leaders have also said that they shot down one of those aircraft and theyve retaken a town near there fighting on many fronts. Their Prime Ministers person described these claims as delusional. But because theres very little access for press and humanitarian workers, its very difficult to verify any of these claims. But we have heard from the red cross in the city of mcalary. They said that 80 percent of the people in the hospitals have trauma injuries. They didnt say how they got those injuries, but i did say that serious shortage of medical supplies and a serious shortage of body bags. All right, thanks so much. There from nairobi, aid agencies and local volunteers are helping tens of thousands of ethiopian refugees in eastern sudan, regain the sense of normalcy in makeshift camps. Has this report from one of the camps. There was no blackboard or chalk or notebooks, but there was a sparkle of hope in the eyes of these young refugees trying to start a new life amid the toughest of conditions. The makeshift school at the camp is sponsored by the norwegian refugees council. One of the things were trying to do is to help give them a sense of normalcy, but a sense of stability by setting up some temporary learning spaces. So they can have some classes every day, something to do, but also something to learn from. In this really chaotic period of their life so far we set up 10 classes, 2 shifts a day. We hope that that is about 800 children that we can help in the 1st instance. Theres probably going to be a few 1000 children already. Theres an estimated 3000 children in this camp. Many of them had their education disrupted when fighting broke out between the job in federal army and their 2 green Peoples Liberation front. A few weeks ago, they were forced to flee with their families, relief agencies speak of a number of unaccompanied children in need of special care. Some are showing signs of trauma. Others are barely coping with the sudden change in their lives. Some have had it even worse, the letter sultan hasnt been able to find any trace of his wife and 2 young daughters since the 1st raids on the grain town of ramallah by the Sudanese Border a few weeks ago. A little im a little animal. I just couldnt find them. They could be dead or alive, but theres no idea what happened to them. I was not home when the attack took place. People fled in every direction, they could. My family is gone. Were still at the camp and the us suddenly looks like an old place where some of the old its europeans here. Its history repeating, itself. Because back in the 1980 s. , this building served as a school for some of them asked child refugees. In the 1980 s. Effigies came here, fleeing a famine that coincided with and resulted from years of fighting between 2 great rebels and the Central Government of former communist dictator, mengistu, haile mariam. The animosity that conflict had created still lingers. Today, here in the camp to greens are teaching their children in english, not im heading, which is the main official language of the federal republic of each opiah. A sign of the mammoth task ahead for Prime Minister ahmed in his effort to restore National Unity or medical benefits. You cant really Sudanese Border with you. Peter Indian Farmers blocking roads in protest against new laws, all refusing to move to a government designated venue. Thousands have been camping out on major highways near the capital, new delhi pharmacy. Theyre open to talks with the government, as long as there are no preconditions. They say the new laws will hold crop prices and livelihoods. Elizabeth for all of them said this report from one of the protests near new delhi. We were the single Border Crossing between the states of haiti, ana, and delhi, where delhi police estimate there are around 20000 people and from the arrangements that have been made, people are being fed here every single day. You can tell that farmers are not planning on going anywhere. They have used hundreds of their trucks, their vehicles, to block this national highway. And its a similar scene into other Border Crossings into delhi, with tens of thousands of people. Theyre here at single today. Weve heard speeches from promises come from states other than those which border to lead them to show their solidarity with only a few 100 farmers have actually gone to the ground thats been designated by the government to protest. Farmer said they werent going there because that will be an open jail. They want to continue their disruption until the government repealed these. Now every so often you can see commuters walking through with their bags. Even those that are stranded because vehicles cant use the crossing. But given that around indias 1300000 people work in the agriculture sector, there was a lot of support as a lot of sympathy for these farmers. Meanwhile, we have heard from Prime MinisterNarendra Modi and he has defended these, saying that they are in the interest of farmers, that they will go farmers access to a bigger market. That its a good thing. The famines can negotiate directly with private companies, but thomas dont see it that way. They think that these laws will see the removal of the end of guaranteed minimum prices for their projects. All still ahead on aljazeera. Sorry, seems to be the hardest word.

Ethiopias Prime Minister has told parliament federal forces have not killed a single civilian during the 3 week long conflict in the region to gross forces dispute. The claim, irans Top Nuclear Scientist is being buried following his assassination on friday. A large Funeral Service has been held in the capital honoring their irans leaders are blaming israel for the killing and vowing to retaliate. How you got your note. I handed you. We are all gathered here next to one another before the body of our beloved martyr and valid to him that we will be more cohesive, more resolved, and our determination to continue down your path will be stronger. We will continue down the path of advancement of this nation with greatest speed and strength. The head of irans Top National Security body says there have been several assassination attempts on factories are. There is life over the past 20 years. They, say security around them and been bolstered and my fellow r. T. , our intelligence services, have the information that he was a target and even knew that on the same spot he was killed. An attempt was going to be made against him. His protection was intensified. However, this time enemy utilized a completely new professional and sophisticated method and all fortunately succeeded after 20 years and reached its goal. Goals for joe barry is in toronto dollars, so what new details are emerging from the investigation . Well, there are a series of unofficial accounts of what actually took place on friday afternoon in all of us are just east of the capital tehran, where factories are there was gunned down alongside a one of his bodyguards, but there hasnt been any official word from the Intelligence Ministry who is carrying out the investigation at the moment. All they have said is that they will share what they find in the coming days. But there have been a number of high ranking officials, including plenty we just heard from who have said that this attack has been very different from previous ones, carried out in iran, but that the officials here are continuing to point the finger at israel even present has said that they believe israel is behind this attack. What makes this attack different and cause for more concern is that it was carried out by a number of people and it seemed to have been very well coordinated and well timed. And his motorcade came under attack in the middle of the afternoon. So there is a concern that there is a lot of it leaks within the defense ministry, tells us ministry who had a possible part to play in this attack. And theres also the question of the silence, where are they now they havent been arrested as of yet, there is the issue of whether or not theyre still in the country. So there is a lot of Unanswered Questions at the moment. And we are officially waiting for a statement from the Intelligence Ministry to answer those questions. Now, what the assassination has also implicated is that the future of any kind of dialogue between iran and the United States is now very, very slim. The Incoming Biden Administration will certainly have much more a much more difficult time trying to get back to the 2050 nuclear deal, which the u. S. Withdrew from in 2013. There is a lot of conservative voices in iran at the moment saying that the iranians need to retaliate, and they need to respond because this kind of a Security Breach cannot go on answered.
