coronavirus pandemic plus taking its toll on mental health new research says one in 5 of those infected with the coronavirus risk and xyzzy depression and in some of. the sports is the head of english football apologizes for using a racist slur well speaking about the game in his country. now russia is sending peacekeeping troops to the disputed region of new gonna karabakh after a deal was reached between armenia and azerbaijan to end weeks of fighting there they are being deployed along the so-called line of contact in the going to carry back and or remain there for at least 5 years there have been celebrations in azerbaijan as this truce with the armenia hand over control of 3 districts and return very forces will stop advancing towards the city stop on a cast. iron and. i was advised them that i'm sure that every citizen of

azerbaijan believes that these days these moments are the happiest days of their lives i'm happy to have signed this historic document i'm happy that we are returning to our homeland our native karabakh and we will live in these lands forever after that no one will be able to move us from those lands. and that agreement has been less well received in armenia with protesters storming the government in yerevan they're demanding prime minister nicola passion and resign angry over the decision to give up territory. in the current situation there was no chance of making another decision i plan to give more details such as why and what the reason was behind last month's of events i can't do it right now for one simple reason because stopping military actions is the main focus right now and if i say something i couldn't danger people while our correspondent is on the ground are some a bunch of aid in the as area capital back in some of those scenes and the air of

a very sharp contrast to what you've been seeing and back you talk us through the celebrations you've been saying. for hours people in the bridge on capital but who have been coming out in the streets with their families in their cars living their flags all ages celebrating what they see as the winner against armenia and their president saying that the armenian side essentially capitulated after their military within the borders and over the deal will be giving at least 2 more of the 7 regions that surround the going to come about and the other by joining forces will be able to keep all of the areas that they have taken including the important city of so people have been celebrating in the streets sending us stories from their grandparents people who were actually living in the one a car about in the in the early ninety's who have been displaced for the last 28

years they all want to go back and they see it as a major victory they see that their president and the army has been able to achieve something if he needs diplomacy couldn't achieve in 3 decades so the mood like he said is very different but there are questions which are remaining about what is going to be the nuts and bolts of this deal how is turkey going to play a part as was alluded to. in the speech by the as a by john the president what is going to be the mechanism to be put into place because thousands of people will be killed on both sides of the libyan base and there is a lot of bad blood between these parties so yes there is a jubilation yes there are people who would have wanted to see fly in to them to all of the areas are taken but the people are satisfied and happy but a lot is awaited in the days the leaks ahead on how this is going to be implemented on the ground indeed we'll continue watching very closely also be bringing you more on that later on this program

a some of them today there on the ground for us and back thanks on. not just minutes ago the u.s. supreme court just began hearing arguments in the latest challenge against the affordable care act then the landmark legislation known as obamacare was signed into law by the former president a decade ago now president trump and other republicans want the last struck down more than 2 then start more than $20000000.00 americans could lose their coverage if it's an ace it decision is expected by the end of june next year it is among many priorities for president elect joe biden as another gates a challenging transition. correspondent mike hanna is standing by for us in joe biden's hometown of wilmington delaware but 1st let's go to candy how because at the white house now you can believe this is the 7th challenge to the affordable care act an aide is talk us through the arguments this time round.

yeah well this is a lawsuit that was brought by republican state attorneys general but instead what happened was the trumpet ministration joined on to this lawsuit certainly giving it more weight and gravitas now what the arguments are from republicans is that this is an uncaused to 2 tional mandate within the affordable care act and they are seeking to overturn the law by declaring it i'm cause to to tional as you point out at state 20000000 americans and their health care coverage this would include preexisting conditions as something that was not protected entirely before as well as allowing those who are under the age of $26.00 to save the parents' health care so this is something that is important to many in the united states at the same time many conservatives again looking for the protections of freedoms not liking this mandate that is required under it and well we have certainly heard challenges

before the supreme court before what's notable about the court now is that is more decidedly conservative given the recent appointment of justice amy kone barrett by donald trump in recent weeks and kimberly health care is a huge problem so joe biden's plan of course this is all happening as a substantial number of all the high profile republicans are still refusing to recognize his win what does all of that mean for the the transition going forward. well right now there is no transition going forward in the eyes of republicans who believe that the result has not yet been certified donald trump tweeting this morning that he said we're making big progress in the lawsuits and he says we will win it reminds me of back in 2000 when for about $37.00 days there were 2 candidates declaring that they had won the u.s. election the difference then between now is that it only involves one state florida and about 500 votes this time we're talking multiple states and millions of votes

that are being contested so the term administration believes that they are still in the race to do so and as a result we see one bureaucrat in the general services administration not allowing the biden transition team access or money in order to move forward it leaves us very much in limbo potentially until the president either decides to concede or until january when there isn't an arguer ation and mid december when the votes are certified white house correspondent that can be how good for us in washington d.c. thanks so much kimberly well now let's move over to delaware where mike hanna joins us mike i remember that biden in his 2nd debate as the head of the selection he spoke about how under him this affordable care act will become biden can stand of obamacare and we are set to hear from him on that today. but once again biden spent months sort of revising the affordable care act in as you said in his image rather than that of his previous chief barack obama and he's

expected to speak in the next few hours about the affordable care act and the changes all 'd the improvements as he would put it that would be made to it and harris by the administration certainly he's been highly critical of president trump in the past for tempting to remove the affordable care act without having anything to replace it republicans have come under constant criticism that while they continue. to try and get this act cleared unconstitutional because it's lack of any tax ramifications they have not at any stage brought up something that would replace it so as a result should the supreme court decide then declare it unconstitutional when the decision is handed down in june it would simply be no health law tells act to replace it but here we've got a change in administration there would be

a totally different dynamic when biden and harris come in on the 20th of january and that's the stage at which biden can start working at the changes to the act which may well be lead to another supreme court action or decision on what would be a new or altered form of the legislation mike really just hearing can believe there talk about all the limbo that wear and we are watching biden trying to set up a transition team potentially make the appointments but how possible is that amid all this uncertainty mean not only in terms of what we're hearing out of white house but also given we don't actually know who's going to control the senate. well it's very difficult because the transition is about more 'd than just a formal handing over or a formal moving in of the new administration there's practical issues that have to be resolved for example what about office space in d.c. for the incoming administration to operate in what about security clearances so

that members of the staff can get cleared by the f.b.i. prior to establishing full time officers or taking over full time jobs within the administration there's a lot that goes on at what stage do they get government issued computers and phones now there had been some already issued but in terms of signing off on the on the transition period the formal beginning of the period that has not yet happened but there is a date which is important and that is the wednesday after the 2nd monday in december that works out to be december the 14th it's on that date constitutionally that the electoral college meets in washington d.c. and formally certified is the vote now that is a state that cannot be altered because that is constitutional unlike something like a transition process which is actually done by custom and not by law that electoral

college meeting is the key and it's that date but that would be very very late indeed for an incoming administration to move in given them just over a month before inauguration time very much have we asked mike hanna there and wanting to get away for us thanks so much. well there's plenty more ahead here on this news hour including why the opposition in georgia is calling for a new election just weeks after the october 31st poll. last ditch talks on breaks it but what impact could a new u.s. president have on any e.u. u.k. agreement. and tokyo olympic organizers say they feel a positive sense of relief over the news of a coronavirus vaccine that's all coming up in school to. move along to the coronavirus pandemic now and lebanon has imposed a 2 week nationwide lockdown starting on saturday to stem the rise in private 1000

cases there or 30 as have been reluctant to shut down for a 2nd time as the country struggles under a financial meltdown of the hospitals are overwhelmed sinha reports from beirut. lebanon is losing its battle with corona virus and the winter season has yet to be him. doctors are treating patients in this hospital's emergency wards in beirut because beds are no longer available that country's health sector is overwhelmed we are seeing so many patients that are being going from hospital to an all therefore may need 2 days 3 days over over 245 days just looking for a hospital to receive these patients and they are not finding a place to be admitted and at the end they are coming to the left hospital where they are admitted and they are not doing good more than half of the nearly 50000 active cases in the nation of 6000000 people have occurred in the past few weeks

the main gate for they are is completely closed because we cannot anymore for today or for at least the coming hours to receive any new patients people are not abiding by the rule of preventive measures and there is no court order from the authorities that is not what sort of a. major city but in the remote area the authorities have responded to a call by health workers to shut down the country the lockdown excludes the airport and essential businesses it will last 2 weeks before being eased. the private sector is not happy already businesses have been closing down as an economic crisis impoverishes more than half of the population and i know you all know put your money where your days people can afford to eat it's a difficult time a lockdown hits many people instead people should cooperate and we mosques in the authorities should be strict in forcing rule says and. it will be the 2nd

nationwide closure since march at that time the cash strapped government couldn't help the poor since then many more have become vulnerable but authorities say they have little option to contain the outbreak. intensive care units have reached a critical capacity the positivity rate is high relative to testing which means the virus is spreading quickly. a few months ago there were dozens of cases a day now it reaches 2000 infection among health workers is also rising the lockdown may give hospitals time to prepare for the difficult days but without a long term strategy it will create new challenges for many lebanese on the brink of bankruptcy so. the root. opposition coalition is showing a slightly against india's governing the b j p votes are being counted in regional elections in the east and be hostage and the 1st major vote since the corona virus outbreak began and it's also being seen

as a referendum on prime minister narendra modi's handling of this pandemic one and a half 1000000 migrant workers returned to be hostage after losing their jobs during the lockdown and people in jordan are voting parliamentary elections there for global pandemic has worsened an already struggling economy affecting millions but despite the public discontent turnout is expected to be lower jordan's parliament is viewed as having limited power to influence government policy. intense fighting in the northern tier grey region has seen ethiopia's military seek temporary refuge in neighboring eritrea a spokesperson for the government says they'll continue to fight to grand forces until a number of conditions are met they want the region's leaders to face trial for a new administration to be set up and for all their missiles to be destroyed prime minister ordered this offensive into gray almost a week ago now accusing leaders there of trying to break up the country and undermine his leadership well let's talk correspondent mohammed atta he joins us

now from ethiopian capital addis ababa one of the last time we spoke we were talking about the threat of civil war are we one step closer now. well that is the fear deployment believe that the longer of the conflict takes that long difficult it might be to return that through very region back into the for the duration of regionals. is currently in middle of the government this is going to be a quick operation and they say they're not willing to talk until the operation achieves its objectives which are mainly to bring the current leadership of the graham people's liberation front to justice for crimes the government spokesman face was committed against the people of europe you have to also confiscate or destroy the must've. or one point of the superior left had pushed

in that region over time including missiles that can reach us for us some 100 kilometers away and which the spokesman parties they helped them to use against the couple of the river and the. breeze the main reason of ethiopia in the shelf to about 40 also kilometers so the couple among the objective of these operation is to install a new administration in the region. and we've already seen this conflict cross the border now and given the tensions in alliances between various groups various armed groups in the horn of africa and this could have some very serious regional consequences is there any hope of deescalation at this stage. not of the moment because the government of the month of it doesn't want to have the diplomatic talks they don't want to stop this operation until it reaches its objectives of course there's been a lot of pressure coming in from the international community the united nations and

even the african union. with the church for sort of the commission move. some of this you know statement earlier calling for suspicion of hostilities about doesn't look principle of the moment. for us on the ground and us about that thanks so much for. well now the newly re-elected president of the ivory coast has invited his political rivals to talks with hopes of easing tensions about the recent election where the opposition call for protests after arizona tara was voted in for a controversial 3rd term the u.n. is also calling for calm after several people were killed in post election violence . well georgia's opposition members are protesting against the results of last month's parliamentary election then on sunday police used water cannons dispersed hundreds of protesters outside the central election commission where they've been demanding a new poll robin foster walker reports from the capital tbilisi. georgia in

politics is back on the streets just days after a parliamentary election which opposition parties claim was bricked. the opposition has promised to boycott parliament until new elections are held it's not a good decision by us we don't like the decision for your build or your participating in democratic institutions is a crucial value but sometimes you have the choice between you have choice bad choice and even worse choice so entering the parliament in these circumstances could be in due course in the merely the words a chance of free elections. governing georgian dream party picked up almost 50 percent of the on october the 31st dashing hopes by opposition parties that they would win enough seats to form a coalition. they say there is evidence the central election commission manipulated

the result by 10 percent in the government's favor you heard from what the dispute turned violent on sunday police used water cannon on protesters who called for the head of the election commission to resign. the government said police acted lawfully 19 people were arrested i mean. i would like to think long horsemen for acting safely and using restraint to prevent an assault on a state institution friends we may have different political views we may represent different political parties on different platforms but we must remember that we all share our homeland. the government says it is willing to hold talks but opposition supporters say it's new elections or nothing yes we're trying to pass this idea on for a long runs i want. to say well this is what stay my country that i love so much and very small children are going to have

a role to go back to the so what you're getting with my friends and i are waiting for the government to come to its senses and make a decision on holding fair elections because no one can rig the georgian people's vote and neither will this government. the opposition has taken a gamble it believes that it can keep this momentum going right on the street because it is a i mean it is building a defective opposition in parliament. despite warnings from health officials that large gatherings a worsening the spread of coronavirus george's opposition has promised more mass rallies until its demands are met. probing 1st year walka al-jazeera tbilisi. chief palestinian negotiator has died after contract. his transporter from. his home in the occupied west bank to a hospital in western month erekat served as the palestinian chief negotiator and

talks with israel for more than 20 years and i'll sound back at us like a. sidebar cart was a familiar phrase in palestinian politics for 4 decades but throughout his life israelis would accuse him of being an extremist and sowing division while palestinians would call him a traitor to the palestinian cause giving away too much. blood to madrid peace talks in 1901 he insisted on wearing the the symbol of palestinian national identity he was a hero to many back home but at the conference because the stir. 2 years later he was left out of the final talks on accords negotiated by palestinian leader yasser arafat but our part would rise to become the chief palestinian negotiator in 1905 resigning only for a time in 2003 reportedly in protest of the palestinian leadership at the time his strength was as the public face for the palestinian cause communicating across

language barriers to explain their position to the english speaking world while also an acceptable voice of the palestinian liberation organization to israel but over the years he has described the growing pessimism at israel's failure to deliver on its undertakings of the building of yet more illegal israeli settlements increasing number of checkpoints who tell a t. against palestinians and the israeli separation wall now more than 700 kilometers long peace talks he would say were out of sync with the reality for palestinians on the ground he remained loyal to even through his power struggle with mahmoud abbas who's now president of the palestinian authority. such was out of parts popularity as a politician he held onto his seat in the 2006 elections run from us won by a landslide. but with hamas in power and benjamin netanyahu as israeli prime minister the chances for an agreements waned.

3 wars on gaza followed throughout iraq are to remain convinced that the 2 state solution based on the 1967 borders was still possible. and those who believe that they can undermine that was that solution that it planted what i call one step 2 system. maintaining the status quo now apartheid i don't think in the 21st century they would get away with it it's impossible i don't part was amongst the most critical voices of the us sponsored normalization deals which saw the united arab emirates and behind establish full ties with israel he described the deal as the birth of our obscene ism and said the agreement was like a poison dagger stamped into the palestinians back. so i bought a card for it for an agreement between israelis and palestinians for decades in 2007 he said he would hate to be a grandfather living under occupation he wasn't able to change that. oh now

for. food for celebration. food for reconciliation. and food from ancient civilizations. al-jazeera world goes on a mouthwatering haven't read jenny from spain to the middle east. to discover the hidden history behind some of the region's best loved dishes. savoring the hottest on out is the you know. the latest news as it breaks there was never much out of out which choice chileans would make but now it's official the chileans will be writing a new constitution details coverage to 14 and 15 year old students amongst those facing charges for prosecutors or complicity in a terrorist assassination in-depth reports from around the world and while it was

the biggest gathering in months the numbers were not what they used to be last year . well again. let's remind you of our top stories here this hour the latest republican led legal challenge against the affordable care act is taking place in the u.s. supreme court ruling $20000000.00 americans could lose their coverage of the legislation known as obamacare is an emanation. intense fighting in the northern tier a region has led to ethiopia's military having to take temporary refuge in neighboring eritrea the government says they'll continue to fight to grand forces until a number of conditions are met and they also want the region's leaders to face

trial. celebrations have been taking place in azerbaijan after the deal was signed to end weeks of conflict of the nagorno karabakh region i mean you will have to hand over control of 3 districts very forces prompting an angry reaction from protesters there. for more on this let's now speak to laurence bros he's the caucasus program director at london based peacebuilding organization conciliation resources he joins us now from london lawrence thank you for being with us and i see this is being billed as a as a peace deal but it's really a declaration of victory if as i see the military press the armenian prime minister to sign this this was essentially a military defeat. yes the deal that was signed yesterday actually delivers many of us about john's core objectives in this conflict it receives back the 7 districts that were occupied between 19021400 thousands of refugees can return home

and the issue of the status of nagorno karabakh has essentially been taken off the table but the price of that is russian boots on the ground in the form of peacekeepers and that may become an irritant in the russian azerbaijani relationship over time says it russia broker this deal i said have also been selling weapons to both sides in your mind how much more influence there has in this area now. well i think russia has reasserted itself quite convincingly in the short to medium term but over the long term i think this peacekeeping operation may start to look like an occupying force and essentially what russia has done is to commit to a peacekeeping operation but without a political process without a fully fledged peace process to legitimate that presence and i think that could become a problem over time revealing a lack of political options rather than military ones to russia well i say the

turkish place keepers are also potentially going to be involved here too but there's seems to be grazing out of ambiguity over exactly where and how. that's exactly right we don't know yet there's talk of a separate protocol between moscow and ankara that would regulate this if there are going to be turkish peacekeepers on the ground they would be deployed i think on the azerbaijani side of things but turkey also has now that the prospect of east west connectivity there's mention of transport corridors to connect azerbaijan to its exclave in 92 on which as a border with turkey so i think turkey also wins from this deal this conflict that we are seeing a sense of 10 of them in this is just the latest out best right does this deal that we're seeing now really resolve anything when it comes to these long held grievances that you've been following for so long. i think absolutely not this agreement ends the war but it doesn't resolve the conflict there's going to be massive work ahead to rebuild bridges and to rebuild relationships but there may be

a temptation for each society to do turn in on itself in the face of this agreement so that's why i really emphasize the need for more politics as well as security in order to transform this really broken relationships between armenians and azerbaijanis alliance prayers that the caucasus program director at conciliation has or says thanks for joining us and out of their great together in fact. thank you mr. well returning now to the global coronavirus pandemic a new research is suggesting that it may also be contributing to mental illness scientists at oxford university who studied millions of u.s. health records found around a 5th of coronavirus patients have been diagnosed with a new or relapsed mental illness nearly 6 percent developed a psychiatric condition for the 1st time double the rate of people with recovering from the flu or serious injury the most common risks include anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder and the researchers report that people with existing

mental illness are more likely to even contract the virus from poor harrison is the author of the study which was published in the lancet psychiatry he says it's possible that the virus is actually affecting our brains directly increasing the chance for mental illnesses. i think rick 2 main possibilities both of which we may be correct the 1st is of course that the virus might in some people be directly affecting the brain in some way maybe through the immune system and that is itself and leading to the mental health problems but also and probably more importantly the experience of having had co-written understanding all the things that might happen to you and all the fears and concerns that viruses like to lead people to have may also be a reason why people don't develop exactly depressive symptoms of to well it's become more difficult for several reasons the 1st person to stop this is that it's been much more difficult for patients to access health care facilities or indeed i may have been more reluctant to do so because of the fears of contracting copd so there's been as so often as occurred despite the fact overall 30 percent fewer

patients presenting with mental health. seeking help for mental health problems so i think this may well be a rebound that has people in different countries or different times begin to be able to react as health care centers one possibility is that maybe even more mental health difficulties were coming up and. so has the kind of the logistics of it there's also the the challenge of trying to deliver psychological treatment traditionally have been done face to face at a distance through the internet or other modalities know the evidence in fact is increasing that those sorts of non direct interventions can be very effective i think many patients still will forward to the days and it's easier to go back to seeing someone in a room face to face for that sort of that are now u.k. or negotiators are trying again to get a prospects a trade deal as the clock ticks down to next month deadline for london anderson and explains why joe biden selection in the u.s. is that in another significant aspect to these talks. michel barnier the

hughes chief negotiator on the post trade deal has a spring in his step now he has a new bargaining chip the views of joe biden the president elect thinks breck's it was a mistake and the u.k. prime minister boris johnson who had counted on the support of donald trump as a weaker hand like johnson trump has no liking for the e.u. biden will follow policies that embrace the e.u. france and germany may well become more influential allies of the us than the u.k. the u.k. being outside the e.u. is no longer the main interlock for washington in the e.u. it is outside so the special relationship is not what it used to be and people that think that it is for you so how salvage their relationship i basically believe all ahead of the u.s. election joe biden had already sent a warning shot and johnson who he's never met it was over the possibility of

a hard border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland the e.u. warns that could be the outcome if the u.k. government presses ahead with a plan that breaches international law it would contravene part of the e.u. withdrawal agreement the u.k. could change or ignore export rules on goods moving from the u.k. to northern ireland biden who has irish roots believes like the e.u. the good friday agreement of 998 which brought peace to northern ireland would be endangered by a hard border. another issue at stake is johnson's plan for a trade agreement with the u.s. under biden that could all go up in smoke if there's a no deal breck's it all revisit a distant prospect of a hard irish border. some analysts believe the u.s. trade deal has been overhyped by the british they seem to want that to prove their recs it has worked in some way and i guess maybe they can have that impact in

domestic politics but from an economic standpoint what what the u.k. needs is an effective deal with the e.u. and where its economic future lies can there be a wind of change in u.k. policy on brics it with biden is u.s. president right now there's no sign of it but it could well be that the u.k. government is pondering its position andrew symonds 000 london help arrears new president is about to be sworn in a day after congress voted overwhelmingly to oust his predecessor martin of his car manual merino is the head of congress and will stand power until july next year which would have been the end of his car's term protest as angry with his impeachment forth with police on monday night after his car agreed to step down without filing an appeal he denies allegations that he accepted bribes when he was a regional governor well let's speak to across one of ariana sanchez she's in the preview on capital lima for us maria let's start with this new caretaker president

will be taking over a country in crisis dealing with a recession this pandemic what sort of a man is he. well you know is the president of congress and he is one of the people behind the ousting of person and discover he's a person that doesn't have. a degree he studied 'd agriculture farming and he is one of the heads of the popular action party who will be sworn in as the new president of peru but this political crisis nastasia seems like it's only just beginning think of it this is the 3rd president that will be sworn in in the last 5 years. having stepped down in 2018 the middle again of corruption and he's still under house arrest without a formal accusation. for him martin discover who will who has

had clashes with the legislative throughout nearly 3 years in office 7 cabinets changed more than 60 ministers resigned and he deserved congress and he faced 2 impeachments impeachment proceedings so a lot of instability political instability but probably the worst to come is what we are seeing right now in the streets of lima and other parts of the country there are young people enraged by this vote last night in congress that see that these corrupt come to think of it. 8 out of 10 peruvians favor because he was. tending to the worst health crisis because the pandemic has hit prove really hard and peruvians were backing be scattered around and now

they are angry going towards congress and there's riot police and clashes between police and protesters as men will maybe you know will be sworn in quite soon. does same amidst all this political time out of his car has gone fairly quietly what's next for him now. will be scarier wheels indeed face justice there or investigations by the prosecutor's office there are actually 2 prosecutors offices that are fighting among each other to give precedence cases but he will definitely face justice he has said all along that these are rumors the he wants to face justice because he has nothing to hide and the prosecutors will find nothing but this could be a long haul form of these gotta as i will say build up our look which is he has been sitting in his house for the last nearly 3 years and no formal accusation has

or has been. given to him so he's got a house a long haul i heard of him and that we'll see what happens if he is telling the truth there and i sanchez there with all the latest for us from lima thanks so much marianna. news of a potential corona virus vaccine has raised hopes across the wild but just who will be able to get it once it's been approved and how much it will cost has led to much debate the makers of pfizer and biotech say they have the capacity to produce nearly $1400000000.00 by the end of next year they priced it at just under 40 u.s. dollars for a 2 dose course in the u.s. but they haven't promised to make it available on a not for profit basis that's provoked criticism from rights groups especially as analysts say it could generate about 3500000000 dollars next year but bio enteric has assured by as it will be priced well below typical market rates that will

differ across the world well let's picture simon clark he's an associate professor in cellular microbiology at university of reading and he joins us now on skype from there dr clark welcome back to al jazeera i know everyone's very excited about this vaccine in creating the stock markets understandably so but i want to talk about who will actually get to receive it has been very clear about this equitable access for all across the globe is that realistic. well equitable access i think is realistic but the way this vaccine needs to be handle this should be 2 it requires extensive cold chain. it needs to be kept at minus 70 degrees for reference a normal domestic strays and one you might get in a regular doctor's surgery is at minus 20 degrees so that might present problems that global distribution we know that cold chain can be a problem for the backseats but just need refrigeration in some parts of the world as that who gets it when it actually arrives in

a country well different governments will have a gift in news on bad but in the u.k. the government or the floor it is the side based have already said that they should go 1st carrying patients to start think care homes and to health care workers well there has been all this great hope that a vaccine will potentially help life the 10 to something like normal but how much of the population actually needs to have in unison for that to happen especially when some studies suggesting that immunity might only last for several months. well that's with the natural infection we don't yet know how long the immunity to this expects to generate will last for all we know in fact that that immunity lasts for a week that's all this this this pfizer data has told us no more than that my hunch is that it will last a lot longer than by at least several months. but when we

let me move away from that we're going to have to find out what it gets injected into the population what sort of effect it has we name from the pfizer press release that this protects against disease but it we don't know whether or not it protects against a single map to carry and that's what you need to do to be able to stop people spreading you know get herd immunity you need to be able to to to protect against people picking it up and passing it on it's no good just to be able to protect against disease it's if you want had immunity although having protection in disease in and of itself is a whit it's worth having why i think that 5 has also said it wanted to stay a care of politics and that's distanced itself from the u.s. operation warps they didn't take any government money in order to try to develop this do you think that then gives it more leeway to do their own distribution and can that affects whether or not had immunity is right. well i imagine actually that

governments can control how much does it that's the trouble. they can't see stuff from other countries so they can only get what size it gives them but i guess it depends where it is manufactured i would be surprised if it was only manufactured in one place around the world if you were there lately multiple production distribution said this and that council aerialists let's go back since my come along as well dr simon clarke an associate professor in cellular microbiology at the university of reading thanks for joining us again on out of there great to get you out of. china has launched the world's 1st 60 satellite undergoing testing and can be more than 100 times faster than the very recently wrote that 5 g. technology according to state owned media at 60 is not likely to reach public consumers anytime in the near future but china hopes to use that in areas like
