the focus is on the up here because like the public $96.00 we bring you the latest developments from across the coronavirus from the special coverage on al-jazeera the al-jazeera hello, i'm barbara starr and this is the al-jazeera news hour live from london. thank you for joining us. coming up in the next 60 minutes more promising news in the battle against covert 90 modernists says early results show its vaccine is nearly 95 percent effective. but there are warnings against complacency and transition delays as u.s. infections rise by a 1000000 in just a week. more people may die if you don't coordinate.

plus peru's congress chooses a former world bank official to be the country's new president. it's 3rd this week . and al jazeera obtains recordings of one of the world's most wanted men, trying to negotiate him. unity from prosecution. and in sports reigning champions, algeria and qualified for the africa cup of nations. the desert fox is advance despite being held to a $22.00 draw by zimbabwe in harare. there's more good news in the battle against covert 19, but also warnings to the world to not to let down its guard as infections continue to soar. the u.s. pharmaceutical firm modernists says early results from trials show its facts in is 94 points. 5 percent effective. far exceeding expectations. we have about

$20000000.00 doses of vaccine by the end of this year. and we're looking forward to making about $500000000.00 to a 1000000000 doses next year. but that is going to be a 247 operation. it won't be maternal, it won't solve this problem. it's going to require many vaccines as we've been saying for a while, but we have to be able to do our part from here for. this is really important. well, the news comes a week after a 5 by on tech announced that it's vaccine was 90 percent effective. it means the u.s. could potentially have to vaccines authorized for emergency use next month. and the durness does not require ultra cold storage. well, the vaccine can't come soon. enough. infections in the u.s. have risen by a 1000000 in just the last week. taking its total to more than 11000000 cases of the head of the world health organization says the new vaccines are encouraging,

but he warned people against becoming less vigilant. this is not the time for complacency. while we continue to receive encouraging news about called good 19 vaccines and remain cautiously optimistic about the potential for a new tools to start to arrive in the coming months. right now, we are extremely concerned by the surging cases we're seeing in some countries, particularly in europe and the americas. well, let's go straight now to washington d.c. and speak to al-jazeera as alan fischer. alan. obviously, any news of a vaccine is great for the whole world, but particularly for the u.s. right now, which is seeing cases just continue to soar. exactly. we're seeing states that are rolling back the restrictions that they had relaxed over the summer, simply because the number of cases is beginning to overwhelm hospitals and intensive care units. we're seeing new restrictions being placed on gatherings of

more than 25. we're seeing schools being closed down as well in just 6 days. the united states reported 1000000 more cases. there's more than 1000 people dying here in the united states every single day over the last week or so. so this news comes against that backdrop and it is welcome. so they're expecting 20000000 doses to be sent before the end of the year. they will be sent to those who work on the front line. those considered most at risk, and then they will start the operation to gear up to produce enough vaccines to start sending it out across the country. and then hopefully by the end of next year, people will have received the vaccines even though there are those who are concerned that they might not want to jump in on the 1st. but to make sure that everything is safe, everything is good. but under the photo, the man who's really been the face of the battle against covert here in the united states well, welcoming the news says this is not the time for people to start,

not listening to the experts. the virus is not going to stop and call a timeout while things change the virus is just going to keep going. the process is just going to keep going. this is something that just is now going in the very, very strong right direction. the vaccines are effective, we want to get it approved as quickly as we possibly can. we want to get doses to people starting in december, and then we want to really get the ball rolling as we get into january, february, and march. we want to smooth process for that and the way you do that is by essentially having the 2 groups speak to each other and exchange information anthony, speaking there, oh, well allan, though we know that president elect biden has made the fight against the pandemic, his top priority for is a presidency realistically though, what can he do at the moment? he can set up a process so that come january,

he'll be able to move very quickly and do the job that needs to be done. as for the president, donald trump, we're told that the covert task force still meets on a regular basis. no word on whether or not it made today to discuss this new revelation from the dinner. but what we did get was a tweet from the president, just reminding everyone that the vaccines that have been discovered last week by pfizer. and then this week by madonna happened on his watch. that's a distinct change in torn from donald trump, who's currently in the oval office, not far from where i'm standing. you remember that a week ago he was accusing pfizer of holding back the information on the vaccine until after the election, deliberately doing that to try and hurt his efforts reelection. so this time he seems to be welcoming the news that there could be 20000000 doses of vaccine going to those who need it most by the end of the year. ellen fisher with the latest from washington d.c. allan, thank you. well, in the last hour,

president elect joe biden has laid out his plan for reviving the pandemic battered u.s. economy, but stressed that 1st the coronavirus must be brought under control by the spoke after consulting business and labor leaders. his plan includes a minimum wage of $15.00 an hour and only awarding government contracts to companies, making products on u.s. soil by didn't urge congress to pass pandemic relief legislation as soon as possible as possible, and expressed concern about delays to the presidential transition. more people may die if we don't coordinate, look for my chief of staff, ron klain, and will the vaccine is important solution to your vaccinated. so how do we get the vaccine? how do we get over 300000000, americans vaccinated? what's the game plan? it's a huge, huge, huge undertaking to get it done,

prioritize those greatest in need and working our way through it and also cooperate with the world health organization and the rest of the world in dealing with this. and so they say they have this work speed program that the not only dealt with getting vaccines, but also how they do, how to distribute this. if we have to wait until january 20th to start that planning, it puts a speed high over a month, month and a half. and so it's important that it be done at the be coordination. now castro joins us live now from wilmington, delaware, which is where joe biden was speaking from heidi. what else that the president elect say? well joe biden also said, kind of with a wry smile, that he was hoping that president trump would be quote, mildly more in lightened as the days progress in order to coordinate with the

incoming administration. as you just heard him say more people will die due to the lack of coordination in distributing the vaccines. and biden's also said on president trump's refusal to concede on his garage of tweets over the weekend at 1st acknowledging biden's when and then claiming that it was actually trump who had one will. president like biden said that he, that those comments on behalf of trump were quote, more embarrassing for the country than debilitating to my ability to get started as the incoming president. and he try to show people today the work that he is doing, even without the direct coordination with the outgoing administration. biden, along with the vice president elect camelot harris met with business and labor leaders over zoom here in delaware and biden said that he found the conversation encouraging. the topic of course, was how to get the country's economy back on track with the forecasts of yet

another decline in the economy. lagging in these indicators of the hospitalizations and the deaths, of course growing here in the united states. and as far as what he, what biden can do about it, this is moment, of course, is not much, he's not president, he's not in office until january 20th. when pressed on what he could do. now laurie mediately, when he takes office to boost this economy. he again sided with a plan that's already existing among congressional democrats, which is called the heroes act, which would be another massive economic rescue package for the country, totaling some $3.00 trillion dollars. and it's a package that simply he hasn't gained traction in attracting republican support. so now the big question is not only what biden will do when he takes office, but also whether democrats will win 2 senate runoff races in the beginning of

january. that would determine whether democrats take control of the senate. if biden were to enter office with both the senate and the house of representatives under his thumb, controlled by democrats. well then his wife weeping agenda of course would have a lot more support than having to operate under the current status of having a divided congress. that is your custom with the laces from wilmington, delaware. heidi, thank you. well, for more on the situation in the u.s. when it comes to go of it and also those that news of a potential new vaccine, let's speak to dr. lisa who morris, and she's an emergency physician and senior director of medical education at hippo education. she joins us via skype from los angeles. madame, thank you so much for joining us year on al-jazeera. how encouraging have you found this news coming out of the pharmaceutical firm that their early results from the vaccine show? 94.5 percent efficiency. yeah,

so much so thank you so much 1st of all for having me. it's certainly very hopeful news. the fact that they have been able to crank out this vaccine so quickly is truly remarkable. i do though, as a clinician and as a medical professional do want to sort of keep this in perspective. everyone is throwing out the 94 percent number, which again is good news. but as in any type of pharmaceutical, any type of therapeutic, we have to sort of keep this in perspective, which is that this is early interim analysis from the company who developed it. and so we have to look at this sort of critically. we have to realize that this is still a smaller sample size, right? and they're of course going to have biased published in their own data. so to say that it's truly 94 percent effective is encouraging news, but we also want to follow this up with further larger studies downstream. now, of course, given the need for the vaccine, you know, all of our concerns is how safe is this vaccine given the expeditious processing? and i think what reassures me as

a physician and certainly my colleagues is that at least there are safety nets. and there's 2 separate organizations that are separate from government and separate from pharmaceutical industries. so they have no financial filiation who do safety checks throughout these clinical trials. the 1st one is the data safety monitoring board in this is a group of scientists and clinicians and researchers who are again, unbiased, who look at the clinical trial throughout the course and are checking to see, you know, the safety profiles. and we'll put a pause if they have any red flags or concerns and so far it looks like it's getting green lit. so for me that actually speaks more than the initial publication of 94 percent on a small sample size. well, that's a fairly the f.d.a. . please go on, go ahead. secondly, the f.d.a. vaccine advisory committee is another committee, another subcommittee that assures true safety. and so once these 2 committees would give the green light for the f.d.a. to finally approve it, that to me is enough reassurance because they will stick to their code. you know, this is their code is not to be broken and not to be politicized or,

or financially incentivised. so that's, i think, what we're all waiting for. and then of course, you know, as discussed, the distribution and being strategic about that is so important. absolute distribution, both internationally and within specific countries, like the u.s. and the u.s. we're seeing is having just a dreadful time of dealing with it as cases continue to spiral. how do you think it should be handled? because even in the best case scenario, we are talking months on a way before there is a viable value that's available. yes, that's such a good question. and interestingly, you know, as opposed to our searches that we're seeing in the spring and even early summer in the fall, even right now, speaking to my colleagues from everywhere from, you know, the south southern california where i am all the way to the east coast. we're seeing different variable patterns and the question is why it's really, it's interesting, for example, southern california and texas and parts of the southwest we're seeing certainly cases surge again, but the acuity or the critical care level of those patients seems to be

a little bit lower than it was earlier in the year in the question is, why is it just a lag in? are we going to see that in the coming weeks? whereas my colleagues currently in chicago, for example, and detroit are saying it's complete hotspot way worse than the previous spring and summer surges where they're not only having number of cases that are high, but the acuity that critical care time, the mortality rates are the highest they've been for them, so in terms of, you know, mobilizing these vaccines, i think that has to be considered certainly the highest risk patient populations, certainly front line workers, but also we should geographically send these vaccines 1st. the places that are being hit hard, not just by the number of cases because remember most of us are walking well patients, right? but really who, who is really like sick and dying from this virus. and so, you know, that would be my personal opinion. but the term is a home are so thank you so much for explaining it so clearly for us. thank you again. emergency physician and director of medical education at hippo education.

thank you. thank you. the president trumps national security adviser says the 1st step to solving the qatar gulf blockade is to allow planes to fly over saudi and bahraini airspace. robert o'brian was speaking at a global security forum hosted in part by cattle. he said he'd like to see for mission flights granted within the next 70 days before a transition of office,, saudi arabia, the u.a.e., egypt, and bahrain and poised impose the land sea and air blockade on cateye in 2017. so we'd like to get that rift saw we felt the salt in the air when it gives you that you referred to the air, had, was it because it was able to fly over saudi or space or already or space is an important 1st step in solving that rift i'd like to see that get done before. if we end up, we don't offer selects that get done in the next 70 days. and i think there's a possibility for well, catherine foreign minister also spoke at the forum and said there are no winners in

the blockade. we are hopeful this at any moment. and what, what we need to right now is to have a serious engagement and a good faith with the other countries. and this is what i was prepared to do. every time we would be ready for this, they would see it at the ready for this. and as i told you, at the beginning there is no, we're not out of this crisis. and all of us are losing. and if the crisis will, all of us will be over and over, people will be able to afford. coming up on this news, hour from london to ethiopia sends reinforcements to t. gray, and rejects calls for mediation to end the conflict with the northern regions rulers . the armenians back out of yet, yvonne branding their prime minister, a traitor and demanding that he step down. and in sports, the tennis world,

number one has his eye on a record equalling 680 p. finals title. that story, coming up a bit later with 5 pros, congress has chosen francisco, gusty to be the country's new president. the former world bank official will be peru's 3rd leader in the space of a week after winning the confidence vote. but who has been in political turmoil since the impeachment of popular president let him discover last week, which led to mass protests on the street that his successor, a man who enmity no, lasted just 5 days before resigning on sunday. after 2 people died in protests against this government that he has. sanchez joins us live now from somebody out. what are the chances that francisco said asked the world last in office a little longer than a sprint assessor, which was the whole of 5 days?

that is an answer that i cannot give you because this congress already impeached a precedent. they could peach. francisco's, i guess the as well, but right now they have the pressure of the street, the pressure of the protesters of a nationwide peruvians who are against the corruption in congress. and so they would have to measure their acts before they do them. but for no fransisco, who is a world, a former world bank official, he's been an industrial engineer and he's been advice and advice or to the foreign ministry has been already sworn in as the congress precedent. and because there are no vice presidents discover was the vice president of cuttin scheme, and the 2nd vice president resigned. so the next in line is the congress president

. that's why he will be sworn in as troops, interim president, to bring the country towards elections in april of next year and to hand in the government to the next president on july of next year. barbara, the reaction has been, has not been jubilant. as many people would have thought that that would happen, but it's a good sign. people are calm, people are going about their business again because people are also tired, they have to work. and this is, of course, tolls down the political upheaval produce been in the plus week. but mariana, human rights groups have reported the disappearance of some protesters, which is obviously incredibly worrying. what do we know about that?

barbara, this is very important. a human rights organizations have said that in the past few days, more than 40 protesters went and accounted for. now we know that they are now about more than 6 at least 6. the rest have start going back home. but most importantly, as after these 2 students were killed in the protests, the attorney general of the country for either of those has opened a preliminary investigation, criminal investigation against former president manuel. maybe you know, his cabinet chief and the interior ministry minister for and forth disappearances for homicide and for abuse of power. this is, this is now where the last officials stand and the, the attorney general has said that those crimes will not go unpunished. mariana

sanchez with the latest from lima in peru. mariana, as always, thank you. al-jazeera has obtained recordings of one of the world's most wanted men trying to negotiate immunity from prosecution. the billionaire financier, joel garreau, is wanted for the major role that he played in the multi-billion $1.01 and d.b. fraud scandal in malaysia, interpol has issued a global warrant for his arrest, but he's still on the run. jolly has this exclusive report which has flash photography at the start. he was once 2 tourists from his day couldn't lifestyle, luxury real estate and super yacht, all bored with one m.t.b. money. but today the malaysian finance ia joe is on the run 130 c. in the united states and malaysia in recordings of taint exclusively by, 000 is heard for the 1st time, trying to conjure deal with mojave,

a mohammad's government soon updates historic election win in may, 2018, just on the phone jolo, protests easy missile, use the office to return all the assets just with one aim to be funds i think is delusional. former f.b.i. special agent, deborah love provocateur, worked on the agency's initial one m.t.b. investigation. you know, it's like the bank robber who gets caught it is like, well if i return the money, then i don't want to be charged with robbing the bank. well, you still robbed the bank, and in this case, you are robbed of the development fund and the strong evidence he deed, according to the man who led the f.b.i. is one m.t.b. investigation. until recently, i think we're very confident that we will be able to prove involvement and his

position in this scheme. in july this year, joe's coconspirator, malaysia's former prime minister knows you present, was convicted and sentenced to 12 years in jail, subject to an appeal for crimes related to wanting to be back in 2018. jolo, put all the blame on but reading the fugitive to justice has proved challenging. despite 2, interpol red notices against him and multiple possible is cancelled. he continues to evade authorities and travel. the only way they're going to happen is through corruption and through the full resources of one or more governments. but according to the fugitive life on the run is not easy question,

because it's crashing 2 years on and he's still paying millions of dollars to noise and p.r. firms around the world. marianne jolie eligible for this we can speak to glen carlos', a former u.s. intelligence officer, and joins us live from boston by skype. sir, thank you so much for joining us here on. i'll just say our 1st of all your reaction to the fact that the spanish trying to negotiate immunity from prosecution surprised by that russia cries, of course, he'll try to diminish as much as he can and the penalties that he maybe of likes to pay. but the fact that he's on the run, frankly, is an indication that he thinks that there is, he's guilty if he were not guilty, then he would not have that much to fear. and the fact that the united states, malaysia or the european union,

multiple countries of all conduct are conducting investigations and have been trying to, to detain him. all indicate that there is fire, where there has been the smoke. you mentioned investigations and trying to detain him. but they haven't managed to yet, do you think it's just a matter of time? what do you think that could be the reasons behind that? well, it's not necessarily maritime no, or if he is in a country where the government is not inclined to extradite him or doesn't have an extradition treaty, as appears to be the case, he seems to be in china, then it is not clear at all that justice can reach him and just paint the picture for us of the scope of this one m.d. before that scandal in malaysia, which maybe not a lot of people in the west have heard of. but if it was a multi-billion dollar scandal, well, i've lost track of how many billions of dollars are involved. but i know that from

the united states' perspective, mr. angle involvement, goldman sachs, the investment firm, has voluntarily agreed to return. i believe it's 4000000000 dollars thereabouts, to the government of malaysia to pay hundreds of millions, approaching a $1000000000.00 in fines. a number of its executives have been indicted and that's only one aspect of the entire octopus, like stealing of funds. so i think we're talking about $4000000000.00 minimum and i think substantially more than call former u.s. intelligence officer joining us from boston via skype. sir, thank you for sharing your expertise and views with us and the full exclusive investigation, joe lo hunt for a fugitive. but we'll air on al-jazeera next at 0600 g.m.t.

trail. the fighting started when prime minister ahmed ordered an offensive against the grays rulers for defying his authority. his government has refused course for negotiation. negotiations from african leaders, including uganda's president, the t. great people's liberation front which governs the region of 5000000 people was in power for decades before i took office in 2018 phone lines and the internet have been cut in the tea. great region since the offensive began. well, the conflict erupted after an attack on a federal military base in te great province by had regional forces has said there has ak from al jazeera arabic, got exclusive access to that base. and said this, this report. now we are now inside the northern military base, located in too great a region in northern ethiopia. it was the attack here which sparked a current clashes between the federal government forces and the 2 great people's

liberation front. this military base is the largest in ethiopia, houses massive military gear, chiefly tanks, simply because it has been for 2 decades. the epicenter of ethiopia's war against iraq. if you don't already be, according to the federal army fighters launched an offensive in an attempt to seize the base along with the weaponry and here they were met with fierce resistance. and as a result, this base has recently witnessed ferocious fighting. marik value will be at the border would be a big moment in the wake of these developments if you appears pm, obviously meant declared war against city p.l.f. on the ember forces saying that their assault on the base crossed the red line, the end of the dough is that a lot of tens of thousands of people have fled the violence in northern ethiopia into sudan. most refugees arriving with very few belongings. humanitarian

a sense of direction until i arrived at the river and crossed into sudan. i have not had food for days and my goal is hurting, even though i've got a month before giving birth. the reception center here at home day it has one health clinic, but lacks proper medical equipment. doctors say more and more patients are arriving every day. we get wounded people because of explosive materials, like grenades, gunshots and fractures. some people have diabetes. we try to handle the cases we can, but where we cart, we were further to the county hospital. but we are quite concerned about the possibility of spread of communicable diseases amongst refugees because they're all close together in a small space. so dan is planning to transfer people here to another camp. those at least who are well enough to move, but more refugees are expected, and the pressure on this clinic will remain. he will morgan al-jazeera, need to sudan if you'll be a border. sauza of armenian demonstrators of march through the capital, yet of
